I'm down to my final two characters for Inquisition. I saved these ones for last since they might be seen as "controversial." They have something about them that their LIs seem directly opposed to. I don't think it is really any different than creating a devout southern Andrastian for Dorian or siccing a Dalish Elvhen girl on Sera. It really comes down to how you play them.
First I'll be playing a Qunari Necromancer who will romance Cassandra. The first romantic partner I made for Cass was the minister of his clan, so I wanted this character to be more rugged. Mash together one part saarebas and one part Brawny paper towel guy and I made Hoven Adaar. His back story is that his parents smuggled him out of Kont-aar when he was a baby. They started a farm on the outskirts of Serault. Since Serault was still under the Shame, it would be unlikely that either the Ben-Hassrath or the Chantry would come looking for them there. As Hoven grew up his parents would tell him stories of Rivaini seers, and this kindled his fascination with spirits. When his parents died he believed their souls stayed behind to guide him like guardian angels. Hoven will be attracted to Cassandra's strength and determination, but she'll have him at the word, "Motalitasi."


My last character is Faith, who will be Cullen's mate. She will be a Rift Mage, so the relationship might start with the wrong kind of fireworks. In this world state the Trevelyans earned their spot in the Ostwick's elite through shrewd politics. This trait was not lost on their daughter, even though she moved to the Circle when she was eight. Faith is savvy and has the bureaucratic know-how to rival Vivienne. She used her extra freedom as a noble's child to establish a network of contacts outside the Circle, including members of the Mage Collective and the Formari. Her biggest contacts were the Exemplars, a handful of sympathetic-minded templars who helped valuable apostates stay out of the Chantry's clutches. Faith went to the conclave to meet up with her Exemplar acquaintances. Cullen fled when my female mage Warden tried to talk to him. I'm hoping for better results this time.
