Human Noble Warrior = Nice, generally good person. Moral

Elf Mage = Evil. Killed dalish, sided with Templars, sided with Branka. If you can kill somthing, kill it.

( <- point point) Elf Blood Mage (F): A student of Irving's, if you will. those with power use it to shape their lives. whatever gets the job done, especially if it helps her people or hates on the Chantry.

that's pretty close to me IRL, actually.

I don't see how killing off the Dalish is necessarily "evil". Yeah, it's a bad thing to do, but when you factor in the killing potential of the werewolves and the threat that the Blight causes... well, tough choices have to be made and it's not so clear-cut.



Augustus Aeducan --- He learned how to play the game from a young age. To truly make a change, especially in a place like Orzammar, you have to be cunning and willing to show that you're not to be trifled with. Sometimes that means doing questionable things. Augustus is okay with that. He loves his people and he loves Orzammar, but hates that it has descended to petty bickering and that his kind are slowly dying out. A strong hand willing to do what's necessary is needed, and he'd do anything to return the Dwarves to their former glory.



He's a pragmatic guy who values results and is ruthlessly determined to stop the Blight. Doing the right thing is all well and good, but being a nice guy doesn't get things done.



Augustus preserved the Anvil of the Void for the good of his people and sided with the werewolves because he saw their potential for killing. He desecrated the Urn, thinking the cultists would side with him and because he doesn't care about human trinkets, but when they wouldn't he realized that they were insane and dangerous, he killed them.

Hmmmm here we go  

My Original PC Kaira was Dalish, but she was very, very willing to give everyone a chance.  Every chance she was given, she took the merciful way out.  She fell for Alistair, but was quite reserved in her affection...right up until the end.  She never got along with Morrigan very well, and it really grated on her nerves at the end of the game.  She was willing, though, and had hopes that the child would  not be used for evil.  She even thanked Morrigan after the fact for doing what she could to help.

My second PC was a human female noble named Juliana (She's the one in my avatar)  she was bitter about what had happened to her family and had an absolutely burning hatred for Howe that overshadowed everything else.  As the game progressed, however, she found herself building a new family with her travelling companions.  Juliana became extremely close with each and every one of them and she fell head over heels for Alistair, who she loved exactly how he was.  Juliana always made what she believed was the RIGHT choice, even if the others sometimes disagreed or thought that it was too much trouble.  She was quick to laugh in the end, and happy to be alive to help Thedas.

My current PC is a human noble Mage named Tarin.  He's a little more jaded than Juliana was towards the outside world and he has very little love for the chantry.  Open to Morrigan's ideas about magic and some of her more practical views of the world, it's not looking like he and Alistair will be extremely close.  Leliana has caught his eye and I forsee many a massage in the tent approaching in the near future.  Tarin is rather serious and doesn't really take enough opportunities to laugh at the simpler things in life.  Perhaps that will change with time spent around his friends.  Only time will tell.   

To the OP:  Neat thread, this was fun!

Sereda, my original Dwarf Noble, was pretty much "lawful good" if you wish to use D&D alignments. All mistakes (such as romancing 3 characters and leaving Redcliffe to be destroyed) were my own fault and not character faults.

Serdira, my newest Dwarf Noble, is going to be an improvement on Sereda. Honor and Tradition > Everything else, she'll do what's good. Instead of speaking through Gorim, however, she will speak for herself and be as kind as she can (so, for example, she takes the dagger from the merchant) Only problem I've had, so far, is I accidentally locked myself of the Gorim relationship with her but I'm not overly concerned with that because it would be "improper" for them to be together anyway.

[Tulaugu]

With all my chars I try to "play" a certain way, but in the end it mostly turns a bit to my own charactaristics. A no nonsense honorable shut up or die char xD Maybe I should see a shrink.

[Gabey5]

loud and distrustful

[fozfoster]

My last two characters have been fairly nasty people compared to my first couple characters. Killian, my alienage elf warrior, slaughtered the werewolves and turned her back on the Maker in favour of the Dalish gods. She's a nasty piece of work. She hated humans, including Alistair, and obviously banged the lights out of Zevran.

Saschana, my dwarf noble warrior, is high and mighty about her belief in the Paragons so human religion is a trivial thing to her. Also, being a dwarf and never before encountering magic on a mass scale, she cut down the Circle, though somehow (against her will) saved Irving and therefore the entire Circle. She's finished the Broken Circle quest and most of the side quests (Denerim and Sacred Ashes) and she's already slaughtered Wynne and Zevran and most likely lost Lianna by siding with Kolgrim (WORD OF WARNING: DO NOT DO THIS BEFORE YOU'VE COMPLETED THE MAIN THREE QUESTS AS YOU WILL LOSE YOUR LOCKPICKING ROGUE!). In sum, she's a tough cookie. So tough she isn't romancing anyone this time as she's killed off half her options. A dwarf through and through.

I like making a character with a set personality and then playing that personality out. And oddly enough I haven't found a reason to keep Loghain alive. Killian wanted to behead him for enslaving her people, and Saschana doesn't take betrayal easily thanks to her Origin. I'll eventually let that smarmy bastard live, but how and when I cannot say.

Tries to do the right thing and be worthy of the responsibility that she's inherited, but is hampered by her resentment of humans and her rage at what happened on her wedding day. Tends to be vengeful, with a big sword, and refuses to back down.

Except, you don't have to kill the werewolves. You can cure them. Then, the only ones who die are Zathrian (who's lived for centuries anyway) and the Lady of the Forest (who isn't really technically alive anyway). If you kill the werewolves or kill the elves when there's a third option...yeah, I think evil qualifies.

Anyway...

My main warden is a Human Noble male. I played a rogue, so I always envisioned him as being a bit directionless and not as obsessed with getting into the thick of battle or proving himself as my warrior. He always took his family name and privledge for granted, so losing both was a heavy blow and also a bit of culture shock. He started the game driven by grief and rage, and wasn't really capable of mercy until some of the sting of the initial loss left him. He also took up with Zevran since he figured it could be something casual, but then both of them ended up developing feelings. He became close friends with Alistair since they were both motivated by blind grief, and gets named Al's chancellor in the end (after making poor Al do the ritual with Morrigan). He stays in Denerim with Zev.

Harper Cousland: An exceptionally kind-hearted rogue who would do anything to help anyone. She nurtured her companions and avoided any moral ambiguity unless it was forced.

Lucilla/Lucille: Human mages, two variations on the same character (one PS3, one PC). They were both intensely focused on getting out of the Circle, where they keenly felt Gregoire's innate distrust of them and were scared of how miserable he could make their lives. Lucille was a people-pleaser who always sought the "good" solution to a problem while Lucilla was very much an Executive Mage, who made decisions quickly, efficiently and without a lot of apparent thought.

Miel: My obligatory Evil character, a City-Elf with a vendetta against the world. She softened a bit in Zevran's hands, but was still a not nice person in the end.

Finn Cousland: The very definition of "adorable wh*re" and probably the laziest hero to ever get the title. His is always the path of least resistence and if people like him, it's only because of his copious charm. 

Brand Cousland: My Reaver/Champion DW warrior who is like her own little island of awesome. Sarcastic, fearless, shameless and completely unimpressed by the pretenses of nobility. She would consider herself the most practical person in the room, but she has a weakness for sad sacks, bad headgear, smelly dogs, goofy men and a sentimental attachment to all of her companions that would probably be her undoing (if it ever came to that).

HNF - DW Warrior.  Horny and jumps anything that moves.  She's a Berserker too.  Life is short, especially for GW's.  Enjoy the ride while you can!! 

[booke63]

Female Elf Mage Healer. Resentful of Chantry and Circle control where becoming a Warden was a "way out" of some of that control. Unhappily agrees that the Blight is a bigtime threat, and also not happy with the role thrust upon her (and Alistair) after the events at Ostegar because her freedom is yet again limited by circumstance. Wardening, Blight, Chantry, Circle...let me be! Wishes Duncan had lived. Fiercely loyal to her party and has no problem with conflicting ethics and points of view as her ethics tend to be situational and a bit chaotic though limited by loyalty and recognition of the threat of the Blight. She usually travels with Alistair, Morrigan, and Leliana and very much likes Alistair's simple take on things and his humor, understands Morrigan's obviously baggage laden take on things and her humor, and Leliana's "endearing and cute and slightly mad" love of the Maker. Likes Wynn but prefers her to look after the other party members not traveling with me. Doesn't really get Sten. Loves Dog. Doesn't really know Shale or Oghren but wants to of course. Attracted to both Alistair AND Leliana.

Alright, I can see that. You deny the werewolves a cure so that you can use them to defeat the Blight. It's manipulative and under-handed. That being said, I love a little bit of pragmatic evil, as opposed to the Stupid Evil that we see so often in video games.

[Elfseeker]

Currently running a lady(my first in DA:O) from the 'noble' line, who's every other thought concerns running her blade through Howe's gut and watch him bleed out. Naturally, she is somewhat 'eh' about such things as Blights and the betrayal of people that(let's face it, people) she barely met before they died.



As to that; -why- would our chars care about Loghain? Particualry if they should have been 'forcefully' recruited?

In my char's mind, it just freed her to pursue her revenge on her own...but for sole surviving -real- Warden Alistair. Sure, she could have ditched him, but focused as she is, she can't get herself to kick the puppy....

[DalishRanger]

Legam Amell - Shy, afraid of combat (though he sucks it up and presses on later, I had him run around in circles in earlier fights), generally kind and helpful, witty around companions once he gets to know them, book smart, worrisome with a tendency to brood after difficult decisions, really curious about/into dwarven and elven lore, usually patient, and at heart a softie. Basically, he gets along with Alistair and Leliana famously.

[Hayllee]

Good, sarcastic, total bad-ass Elissa. I'm thinking of doing a fan fiction though, so I'm not spoiling too much.

[JosieJ]

 My last character:

Isobel Cousland: fun-loving, but dutiful rogue.  Loved her family and wanted revenge, but took her father's words to her about duty to heart, and did not shirk from her duty as a Grey Warden.  However, when events presented her an opportunity to further her mission as a GW and get revenge at the same time, she jumped on it.  Fell for Alistair because she loved his humor and saw through his facade to the strong man he could be if only someone believed in him for himself.

I finished this character last night and was seriously bummed I had to immediately delete her from my game for technical reasons.  I may play a similar character again.

My current character:

Janisa Amell:  flirtatious, but ambitious, mage.  Subtlety is her watchword in everything but her spell selection.  Unlike in battle, where her goal is to hammer her enemies into submission as quickly and brutally as possible, she prefers to use persuasion and manipulation wherever possible.  As a favorite of Irving, she enjoyed a privileged position in the Circle even as an apprentice.  She, however, found the Tower confining, and saw Duncan's arrival as her opportunity, knowing that her mentor Irving had spoken highly of her to him.  She sold Jowan out not because she thought he was so wrong (if she were in his position, she'd want to do the same thing), but because she hoped that proving her trustworthiness would garner a recommendation as a Grey Warden, and therefore, her freedom.  She's a bit arrogant about her power, and also held Jowan in a bit of contempt, even though most of the other apprentices couldn't stand her because she was Irving's "pet."  She considered Jowan a wannabe and a bumbler, and thought he was stupid for trusting her, knowing her closeness to Irving (although she did give Jowan an opportunity to give up his crazy idea at first).

I've just gotten to Ostagar with this character.  Maybe this time I'll actually finish the game with a mage, unlike all the other times I've tried!

(Edited.  Forgot I was in the no spoilers forum!)

[Funny_chan]

My character (a human noble female) has my real life name, Estéphanie Kelly (Estéphanie means "crown" and Kelly means "warrior", so it's something like "crown's warrior") and I also tried to make her personality similar to mine.
She's a bit of a tomboy, and would rather be training to become a great warrior like her father than being in "tea parties" with her mother and the other ladies. She wants to make a difference in the world and perhaps that's the reason she has always dreamed of becoming a Grey Warden. She also has a very sensitive/intuitive side wich helps her noticing whether a person can or cannot be trusted. Her major flaws are her overly possessiveness towards those she loves, and the facts that she is too curious for her own good and too hard on herself. Another of her characteristics is the fact that she always tries to project a positive attitude, in order to bring hope to those around her, even when she herself is in doubt.

[wonko33]

Dwarf commoner--- strong, reliable, no nonsense... want to prove himself

Human mage--- power hungry, want to use her power, doesn't care for weak people

Dalish elf--- Still hates humans, deceitful, looking out for number one.
