So they were a big incest family, and your character has special time with her father and other relatives? I hope she was an adult for that...

 

Who said she even participated?

Okay, so it was everyone else doing it. Still, I assumed because there's often an imbalance of power and authority when it comes to sex in the family, which is why incest and child molestation are so often connected.

I never said she did not either. Maybe she did only one time, then never did it again.

This thread doesn't lose time getting creepy. And from the first page too.

I figure my Kazrian would have been 16. He would probably still be mastering his magic and learning elfy things.

[Al Foley]

Kara probably would have been being whacked on her knuckles by the Chantry mother or sister instructing her.

[Andraste_Reborn]

Interesting question!

 

Cadash: already working her way up the ranks of the Carta, as she'd been training to do. She was about twenty.

 

Adaar: At thirty-five, he's the oldest of the Inquisitors I've made so far. Ten years ago, he was already working as a merc in and around the Free Marches.

 

Trevelyan: She was in her early teens. Living with her family in Ostwick, sneaking out of her boring lessons to practice sword fighting and ride horses. (Her family would have preferred for her to join the Chantry as a Sister, but they eventually accepted the inevitable, and would have let her at least try join the Templars at eighteen had the Kirkwall Chantry not gone kaboom right around then.)

 

Levallan: She was fifteen, living with her clan and being trained by her beloved Keeper.

[EggplantRed]

Alcina Cadash: would have been 20; her family would have just started allowing her to really help out in the family business

 

Ryal Trevelyan: would have been 24; sneaking out on local jobs with her uncle and his merc company along with tending to family/Chantry duties as dictated by her mother (she was basically living a double life)

 

Kamaria Adaar: would have been 25; a friend of her mother invites her to join her mercenary company

 

Cenise Lavellan: would have been 13; living with the clan, learning how to hunt with other hunters in the clan

 

Liam Trevelyan: would have been 17; swimming in as much Chantry stuff as he could (he's a devout Andrastian and wanted to go into service of the Chantry but not as a Templar)

 

Dhreya Trevelyan: would have been 26; living in the Circle

 

Dhiren Adaar: would have been 16; scraping by however he could to help provide for his parents and younger brother (farm work and other manual labor)

Killing Elven uprisings and Qunari mercenaries during their tempestuous youth in the Free marches.

Sulking in Ostwick's Circle tower.

Like it was that bad

Maybe it was because of how dull the Circle was

Dull is good; its a safe place to grow powerful in a craft.

Just my perspective.

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

I think everyone should have "just my perspective" in their signature.

[Master Warder Z_]

:/

Try learning a skill at the exact moment you need it

Some people get bored easily.

[birefringent]

Adaar loved his life as a sapper.

 

[REDACTED] Cadash, all around problem-solver working for the Carta.

"You have a problem? I make the problem go away."

 

Lavellan loved going out into the forest and conversing with animals. As her magic grew she learned to become a shapeshifter.

 

Lady Trevelyan had an incident. Let's just say that there's a reason why she has pretty significant scars on her  face, and why she doesn't have a mabari pet any longer. After the incident she spent most of her time learning to become a warrior and took a liking to two handed weapons.

 

The younger sister, "Lady" Neomi Trevelyan, is not someone I would label according to the motto "Modest in temper, bold in deed." Her abrasive nature had her temper flare all over the place. Although she certainly did not lack for boldness.

    Things did not improve the day she discovered her aptitude for magic. Neomi's Harrowing was a blast, quite literally. Stand very still and quiet in the Fade and you can still feel the trembling. 

   It didn't take long for her to become addicted to lyrium due to its ability to augment her own power. And boy did she love power. No one dared share a room with her, and on several occasions sections of the Circle had to be quarantined. If it weren't for Lady Trevelyan's family's good standing with the Chantry she would have been made tranquil without a doubt.

    To ease the life of others, Lady Trevelyan was often sent to visit friends in Tevinter and Nevarra. A lonely child perhaps, but she never cared for anything that didn't directly enhance her abilities, or knowledge of magic. 

   What made House Trevelyan's members decide to take Neomi with them to the Conclave I couldn't say. The day the Temple of Sacred Ashes exploded should have been shocking, but for the Trevelyan's it was hardly surprising. What was shocking was the news that a lone survivor, bearing remarkable resemblance to Neomi, had stepped out of the Fade. Guided by none other than Andraste herself. As things settled down and the rumors were confirmed, House Trevelyan feared what their "Lady" would do with her recently acquired power.

My male human mage was in the Ostwick Circle sitting at a table, when one of his friends came up and offered him a book about an ancient elven artifact that focused magical energy. My mage scoffed and said, "Like I'll ever need that."

 

Okay, seriously though, I think my mage was just studying and practicing magic, and writing back and forth to his family. That's it. Nothing interesting, and news of Ferelden and Kirkwall would not have even been generated yet.

[SgtSteel91]

My Trevelyan would be 17/18 at 9:31, not a Mage and still living with her family in Ostwick. They decided early on they wanted to be an archaeologist so she went to a local University in Ostwick to study. She wanted to go to the University of Orlais but with the Blight in Fereldan her parents felt it wasn't safe to travel out of Ostwick. In-between studies and parties held by the nobles she would sneak into the Ostwick Circle to practice swordplay with her twin brother, who joined the Templar Order as expected of their family. She figures you have be fit to explore lost ruins off the beaten path and ready to defend yourself if those ruins are infested with Giants Spiders. She also had him sneak out Circle tomes for her to read.

[dixophilia]

Hissra Adaar and her younger brother, Kost Adaar, were 16 and 13 years of age respectively and new recruits to the Valo-Kas mercenary company. Both were training under Shokrakar. Humans seeking refuge in the Free Marches from the Blight were often good sources of coin. When the Qunari landed in Kirkwall, the company moved Northward where they set up camp near the Wycome/Bastion area.

 

(I haven't given much thought to what my Lavellan and Trevelyan would have been doing during the Blight. Sahlin would have been 14 though and a hunter of exceptional skill and Maxwell was surely the ideal circle mage, who respected and followed the rules without question.)

[BansheeOwnage]

That's pretty old. Both of them are nearing 40 now. Or mid 30s maybe.

I always figured my Warden was between 18-20 in DA:O. My Inquisitor would be in the same range at the time.

[dragondreamer]

Kyriel Lavellan was 26, and busy with her studies as First.  Also avoiding one of the first big pushes by the hahrens to get her married off.

 

Timaeus Lavellan was 17, and busy being a little punk, running off to play in human cities without permission.  Narrowly avoided being captured by templars and hauled away to a Circle. 

[The Oracle]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the set backgrounds for characters in the game. I like my heros to come from nothing special. My headcanon for my human rogue is that she's a farmer with a small piece of land her family work near the edge of Lake Calenhad. She was in Haven delivering produce bought by the Chantry to help feed the large influx of people from the conclave. She only got involved because she heard the the commotion when she was putting the food into storage at the main building. She walked in and bam, glowy-hand-end-of-the-world. She's no combat skills to speak of, except for her rather poor skill with a bow, but she can milk a goat quicker than most and can make a really good tonic for water sickness or nettle burns.

 

I loved that Origin allowed you to be a noble or a peasant, a dalish hunter or a city elf. I wish there was a chance for a city elf origin. They'd be a big number there, with all the nobles kicking about. Being the scullery maid to some pompish noble who is then raised higher than him afterwards, could make for some pretty interesting scenes. As I can't though, I just headcanon away.

[KaiserShep]

My Trevelyan rogue was either studying history, elven lore and books on magic, or off bowhunting with her father and skipping out on stuffy parties.
