@Brij: NP, you're welcome. Though, if you're going to be expanding your contributors, you might want to consider tagging your entries and adding a tag cloud and/or search function, so people can find something in particular even if they can't remember the title and/or author.

And reading Lord Zeuss' stuff, and popping over to the Ash thread, really makes me want to write an A/U where Ashley and Kaidan both survive, and something else dreadful happens on Virmire, cause I miss Ashley.


Hmm. Good call. I'll see what I can do if the contributor list continues to grow. ^_^

Well Alistair's age even at 16 assumes that Calien's age in the toolset is correct at 25. Of course, they list Bryce and Eleanor Coulsand at 40, and Fergus is 30, so you can't take all the ages at face value. :)

@ Batteries:

I've butted mShep up against Kaidan and Kaidan is slightly taller. I find this interesting since the pc is usually the bigger guy in squads.

Yeah, I think the ages in the toolset really aren't correct. I'm pretty sure Cailan is older than 25, I'd put him at about 29 or so. But there's no definitive timeline for births like there is for Mass Effect. Although the ME timeline seems a bit off anyway, If you look at the timeline on wiki, Ash enlists at the age of 16 or something.

One thing that made me wonder about his true age is when Loghain(sp?) said that he always had to keep in mind was that he was a very young man, and unless he's comparing the king to himself - 29 isn't too terribly young.
Young at heart, definately.

Yeah I did notice that too and thought it was a little funny. Everybody pretty much just had the same body and height by gender and species - unless they're 'special' (Miranda)

I think Cailan is pretty young in spirit. Wynne compares him to a puppy heh.

29 is fairly old in a fantasy setting, and given the harder lifes that people would have lived in a dark ages type setting (similar to Ferelden), 16 isn't that young. It seems young to us, but I don't think it would be terribly strange to have 16 year warriors. Not always the most mature to handle responsbilities, but definitely old enough to learn to fight and defend themselves and/or a country.

Edit: Fixed some words. Too tired to type proper. Heading to bed.

In looking at the pictures as well as the general ages of those around Alistair I'd actually put him in his mid-20s.  Alistair and others talk (and I've read this as well) about him training as a templar for many years.  Assuming he went to the Chantry around age 10-12 (and I've seen something that says this -- will try to find it) and thinking about how long squires usually trained before they were eligible to become knights, then he probably would have at least been in his early 20s if not a bit older by the time of DA:O.

That is true too. I just always wondered that even though it's set in a more dark ages type setting if things like that were applied the same way.



I'm sorry, I'm not picky or think differently of characters because of such a small thing, but this stuff just drives me crazy. XD

I must admit, one of the things I liked about ME2 was the fact that the companions each had distinct body types, rather than moving/being built exactly like every other person of the same species/gender.  I didn't like that that meant you couldn't give these unique people proper armor to wear, but I liked that they weren't all exactly the same from the neck down.

And I had a really bizarre dream the other night, where I was at some fancy shindig full of lots of famous types, the only two of whom I remember were Ian McShane and Adam Baldwin.  (No Sbarge or Hale, however. :()  And I remember, even in the dream, having the hardest time not totally glomping Adam Baldwin and asking him if he could tell me if Kal-Reegar was going to be in the next game.  :blink:  Plus, you know, singing about A Man Named Jayne.  :P

Sapph, I'd agree however as someone else said the ages seem to be more modern based. Wynne is pretty old. Loghain is probably in his 50's - he was a young man (but not a teenager) when they drove the Orlesians out of Ferelden and that was 30 years prior to DA:O's time.

This is how I always pegged the ages of the DAO characters

Alistair - 25
Morrigan - Mid to late 20's
Leliana - Late 20's to early 30's
Zevran - Late 20's to early 30's
Wynne - Late 60's to early 70's
Sten - Mid 30's
Oghren - Mid 30's to early 40's
Loghain - Late 40's to early 50's

I remember David Gaider saying that Morrigan is actually in her late 20s to early 30s, but I wouldn't be able to find the link after searching for a while.

David Anderson Memorial Military Academy

August 15th 2210

Dear Mr. Alenko

We regret to inform you that despite your impressive resume and exemplary tactical scores on your exams that there is no position available for someone with your qualifications at this time. You are however allowed to retake your entrance exams six months after receiving this message.

The fingers curled around the piece of paper crushing it into a ball before being shredded into two dozen pieces and scattered about the floor of the dorm room. Slumping down onto his cot, Ryan Alenko buried his face in his hands.

“I’m so fuc-“

The buzzer alerting him to a visitor lifted the young man out of his self serving pity. Quickly throwing on a standard civie t-shirt he shuffled across the room, slapping the talk button on the other end and all but barked into the intercom, “what in the hell do you want?”

Static on the other end. Ryan swore under his breath and slapped the intercom again. Muffled laughter on the other end.



Angrily, Ryan hit the open button, room door sliding open only to deposit his longtime friend James onto the floor laughing his head off.

“Go away man, now’s not really the best time to be messin’ with me.” Ryan grouched, giving James a jab in the back with his foot. “and pick your ass up off the floor, will ya? Geez.”



James coughed once, wiped the tears from his eyes and boosted himself into a shaky standing position, his frame still racked with silent laughter. He was thin, with messy dark hair, glasses, a button nose and tan skin. Despite the build he was one of the most promising pilots his class had to offer. He sat down at Ryan’s desk.

“Sorry man, just playing a little ding dong ditch ya know.”

Ryan flopped down on his bed, rifting through printed extranet files for his next training assignment. With an icy glare he noted dryly “but for forgot the ditching part, ****.”



James smiled placating. “Sorry man, just some fun before summer break. While we’re partying, you’re holed up in here looking at star charts. What gives? Dog die or something?”



“Nope.” Ryan said miserably. “But I’m going to die… I didn’t get accepted into the university…. I’m screwed. You know who and what my parents are like!”



James whistled knowingly. “Yup. Well… could always change your name and run off into the Terminus System’s… oh wait… your mom does some spectre stuff there right? Guess that’s out…. Hell, I’d say the ends of known space…. But your parentals have probably been there too.”



Ryan flopped down boneless on his cot. “tell me about it! They’ve been everywhere and done just about everything! When your mom’s a damn council spectre, savior of the freakin’ citadel along with your father, how can you not die from all the expectations?! They’re the best of the best and I’m a rookie pilot that just got thrown out of the N special forces program! Try again next year….yeah right!”



“Dude… now you’re being emo.” James pointed out. “A lot of recruits have reapplied. You can do it up to three times before you get the permanent boot.”



“Well I failed once…. So why not two more times?” Ryan grouched.

Nice start! I'll look forward to seeing the whole story. Also, the Anderson Memorial Academy? What happened to Anderson?
