I had to read this very carefully to actually understand what you wrote. XD
Inquisitor has dialogue to suggest they were around 11 ish when the first blight ended
Might just be Trevelyan. Given the 'youngest of the family' thing, along with the fact that they'd be given up to the Chantry by now if they were particularly old, I've always gotten the impression the age range for a human character is probably a bit younger.
There was no dialogue like that for Adaar, as far as I could see.
I've always got the impression your Warden, was anywhere from 18 to easily 20s. Cus, your parents in the Cousland origin, treat you like a child, so I thought 18 or 19. The Circle of Magi's Harrowing's like a Highschool graduation, which... Usually, is when you're 18-20. Hawke from what I read was 24 at the leaving of Loathering, and 31 by the end of the game. DA:I, I don't think it matters much, they could be 20-45. I want to, however, say 23 for the Templar noble, because s/he's the youngster, and 3rd or 4th in line. But this is just me.

Yeah you're correct. Should have added that
Well, Solas was confirmed to be that age. I cited it, too, if you don't believe me, and there is nothing to suggest the Warden mage is young. While not necessarily the firstborn child of Revka Amell, the Amell Warden would have to be older than Hawke, who is roughly 24 or 25 at the beginning of Origins. That would mean the human mage is a few years older, and it's not as though that's old, anyway.

And I think I remember reading somewhere that Rhys and Adrian are in their late thirties or early forties.
The real Cole is twenty at the most, and spirit Cole could be either older or younger than that, since we have no idea when the real Cole died.
I just make all my player characters my own age (27) or older because I feel a little insecure about my age and playing anything younger would make me feel bad (I know I know... it's an RP game, but still!)
Most of the companions seem to be 30+ which is nice because a lot of games are littered with teens and early 20s characters everywhere, as if you suddenly become useless at going on epic adventures past 30.
Yeah, but I picture one of mine older because I'm having her romance Solas. My grandma may have been eleven years younger than her husband, but I'm not a big fan of huge age gaps. X
I guess the dev's said at one point he was in his 40's? But in the game itself, there's no indication, so it doesn't bug me.
And suddenly I see my 23 year old Dalish Inquisitor in a new light....
I guess she's into older dudes, since she's romancing Solas too.

Okay, so apparently Cullen became a templar when he was 18, and it's been ten years since Origins, putting him at at least 28. I'd guess that he's in his early thirties.
To mee every main companion in origins seems to be more than a 20, look at alistair to me he is like who is 27 28 years old and not 20.
In the series i can see only adult and children but people around 15-20 no.
Bioware needs to take a que from Final Fantasy and realise character ages, heights, etc lol
According to Eamon's letter to Cailan at Ostagar, Anora approaches her 30th year in 9:30. Which means she turns 30 in 9:30. As such, she was born 8:100 Blessed. So in Inquisition she is 41.
My male Cousland was born 8:99 Blessed. Same year the Dragon Age got it's name.
My male mage Trevelyan is around 40 years old. I head-canon him as the eldest son, but unable to inherit due to his magical ability. Hopefully the game won't contradict this.

She's APPROACHING her thirtieth year. That doesn't necessarily mean she's 29. I'm approaching the legal drinking age in America, but I'm not 20. I'm just close to being 21.
Also, the game states he's the youngest.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't mention anything for mages in the description, I'm a Mage Trevelyan and I haven't had any dialogue come up about my age yet so I think it's safe to assume playing an older mage won't conflict.
It's not said for a mage, however, it's implied/assumed that would be the same. Also, according to a previous comment made in this thread, there's something that would suggest Trevelyan is as young as 21.
Rogue or warrior: "As the youngest child, [Lord/Lady] [Player name] Trevelyan was expected to follow suit..."
Mage: "As a mage, however, Lord/Lady [Player name] Trevelyan was expected to spend his/her life in the Ostwick Circle of Magi."

Inquisitor has dialogue to suggest they were around 11 ish when the [fifth] blight ended
What dialogue is this? Is it with Dagna? Because I'm thinking of having my Inquisitor romance Blackwall, but he's probably, like, forty-something, and that's too big an age gap for my liking. :b
What I know for sure is that Hawke was 24 at the start of DA2. Leandra was pregnant with Hawke 25 years prior to the start of the game. That and I doubt Malcolm would force Leandra to travel if she was too far along with carrying Hawke, so he can't be older than 24. So my guesstimates on the age at the present time are:
Warden: 29
Hawke: 34
Inquisitor: 26
Leliana: 37
Josephine: 28
Cullen: 31
Cassandra: 40
Blackwall: 48
Iron Bull: 35
Solas: ???
Dorian: 29
Vivienne: 45
Varric: 40
Sera: 22
Cole: ???
Alistair: 30
Morrigan: 29
Your estimate of Cassandra seems about right. She has to be at least 36, which made me a little hesitant to romance her because the human Inquisitor seems a bit younger judging from the backstory in character creation.

Like I said, the age of the Warden varies depending on which you pick, as does the age of the Inquisitor (however, if the source of the discussion in which the Trevelyan Inquisitor states that they were 11 when the Blight ended can be confirmed, then that would put them at 21). The Amell Warden is likely older than Hawke, though it is possible that s/he could be younger. However, the following passage suggests that the Amell Warden is likely older than Hawke, by about, perhaps, five or so years:
"And then poor Revka had the child. Magical talent, running in one of Kirkwall’s most prominent families? The templars had considered Aristide to be viscount after Threnhold’s arrest. Can you imagine the scandal had he been chosen? They whisked the child away to the Circle, and the Amells simply had no luck after that. Leandra ran off with a Fereldan apostate and then Damion was accused of smuggling. Poor Lord Fausten almost bankrupted his family trying to get the charges dropped, but I hear Viscount Marlowe simply wanted to get the Amells out of the picture. And it worked too, didn’t it? By the time Lord Fausten got sick, there was only young Gamlen left and a mountain of debt."
I also doubt Leliana is that young, for the following reasons:
Though it doesn't quite constitute as proof, I'll point out that Leliana tells Wynne that she [Leliana] is a lot older than she appears to be.
As for actual evidence, in the DLC "Leliana's Song", Leliana meets Adaia, the mother of the City Elf. The City Elf states that his or her mother died when they were basically a baby. At the time Leliana meets Adaia, she is also Marjolaine's mother, suggesting that she is at least in her late teens.
The City Elf is engaged, so I would guess that s/he was around 16. That gives about another 26 years to Leliana, putting her somewhere in her 30s in Origins. Add another ten years, she's probably in her 40s.
I think I'm going to add this to the OP. 
That's not actually true. While tensions were rising up since the Kirkwall massacre, it wasn't what you could call war. Both Asunder and Stolen Throne imply that tension didn't spill beyond Circle walls until 9:40.What makes this really amazing to me is that it brings to light that the Mage-Templar War has been going on for four years.

It actually is half a year at most. If I recall correctly Asunder events finished in autumn, while Inqusition events are happening in summer (judging by the zone appearances).
I disagree. In Asunder it is stated that the mages in pretty much ever Circle but the one in Orlais had started rebelling. Cassandra, Right Hand of the Divine, went looking for Varric in 9:40, the same year mage-templar relations basically exploded. Even if that's not the case, I believe Cullen states that Cassandra recruited him fairly soon after the Kirkwall incident.
Still, I'll edit out that detail in case.

That and I doubt Malcolm would force Leandra to travel if she was too far along with carrying Hawke, so he can't be older than 24. So my guesstimates on the age at the present time are:
You know, I was already imagining this age for Hawke, I'm curious where there is evidence in the lore. Was it in Legacy?

Well the thing is, Leandra tells Hawke that Revka had multiple children with magical talent. Also, when I played DA:O I had my Amell warden says she was born in Denerim.
The way I looked at it, Revka had three or so children with magical talent taken away from her by the time Amell Warden was born. She moved to Denerim before having her last child to get away from the noble Kirkwall embarrassing bull crap.
Interesting to also note, Amell Warden has the Amell last name. They don't take the father's last name. Like Hawke and their siblings do. To me this suggests that Revka and her husband had possibly divorced by the time Amell Warden came along and their father didn't want anything to do with another potential mage child.
So actually, the Amell Warden can be younger than Hawke.
I figure my Inquisitor is about 26/27.
I always play some age south of 20. Otherwise, why would the PC be so inexperienced? At least in DAI he lost his memory instead of having no skills at all.

Well if you look at things that way, then you have to wonder why Varric suddenly became so inexperienced after DA2. Also characters like Cassandra, when you look at what year Dawn of the Seeker takes place, how does she suddenly after all those years become so inexperienced.
Personally I don't bother looking at the level and skill set to determine the characters experience and ages. It's just game mechanics. I picture the fast travel is in reality weeks and possibly months of travel. They don't actually instantly return to skyhold.
