Mage is my favorite class, so I originally played as a male mage Hawke. In my replay before starting Inquisition, I made him a rogue. Being a non-mage actually fits the character better IMO. Putting their life on the line to save their little sister at all costs.
Plus, I see Hawke as the everyman between the super heroes that are the Warden and the Quis. Hard to be that when you toss fireballs around.
I was actually hoping the Quis would be an everyman too. Not some random superhero found in a ditch. No context at all to all the buildup from DA2 or Asunder. No relevance to the war or inquisition. And none of the down to earth/street qualities rogue hawke has.
When I look at their concept art, the Inquisitor is often a rogue.. and he/she does sort of look everyman-ish. It reminds me of Rogue Hawke. I suspect they had more backgrounds, before ruining it with the extra races and shoving the human in the "Sebastian" category. I never quite seem as cool as this within the game itself:
