Lena Meravas

[fightingdirty]

Your Name: Megan
Contact: lavellan

Character: Lena Meravas (OC)
Occupation/Role: Mercenary/Scout/Rogue
A/R/N/M: 31, Vashoth, Fereldan, non-mage
Elevator Pitch: Lena is a Vashoth mercenary from the Valo-Kas company. She's a Tempest rogue who favors poison over traps. She has a filthy mouth, is an Andrastian by name only, and has a little bit of blood lust in battle.
Where They've Been: Literally every country but Tevinter and those the Qun control. Her mercenary work has taken her all over.
Typical Day: She's just arrived, so I haven't really nailed that down yet. She'll be in the tavern a lot. Lena makes a point to not practice with her daggers out in the open because she doesn't need smug assholes critiquing her form. She'll probably be seen gathering ingredients for poisons and elixirs, though she mixes those in private.
Plot Interests: I want to see if I can balance the part of Lena that is lazy and doesn't care about much with the part of her that is in the Inquisition for revenge since her brother was killed at the Conclave. She needs to grow as a person and start to care about things, so people who can sneak in as her friend would be amazing. She does well with people who make her laugh, and as seen with Korrin, people who are blunt but have a good heart get her attention. Lena doesn't think herself a very good person, but she can recognize others are and if they have a spark she likes, they're counted as her people.
CR Interests: I understand that she may be a more combative character than my others, but she doesn't really have strong opinions on people unless Korrin hates them; then she'll hate them too on principle. Playing a character who is a bit of a jerk is outside my wheelhouse, and I'm hoping I can make it work while still having it be fun for me. If she just makes a string of enemies, that isn't fun CR for me. So anyone who is willing to put up with her attitude and knows she very well may choose money over saving their lives would be good. (I sort of liken her to an early DA2 Isabela in attitude?)
Character's greatest fear? Getting kidnapped by the Qun, have qamek forced on her, and becoming a mindless worker.
Anything Else:

[gatheringstorm]

FINALLY. Time to be terrible influences together.

Re: Lena Meravas

[the_effect_she_has]

Sup Lena. Katniss volunteers as tribute (yeeeees more Val Talshoth lady friends ...)

the outsider

[extramural]

Your Name: Gadgets
Contact: gadgetsandgears

Character: The Outsider (Dishonored)
Occupation/Role: creepy Rifter
A/R/N/M: 4000+ (physically 15), humanoid spirit eldritch deity thing, Rifter, mageish
Elevator Pitch: A ~representational deity~ who is the source of magic in his world and is basically a big mouthbreathing voyeur re: anything he finds interesting.
Where They've Been: The Void! Which is basically a more purple and empty Fade tbh.
Typical Day: These are good questions.
Plot Interests: More concerns about what the rifts might drag in, YAY MAGIC BOO RELIGIONS THAT HATE IT, sticking his pale nose in absolutely everything because Cultural Exchanges.
CR Interests: The Outsider is bad at social skills and I fully expect negative CR.
Character's greatest fear? Being bored forever.
Anything Else: he has yaoi hands

Re: the outsider

[justice_is_blond]

I want CR with him so much.

Andra Riveris

[faithstarved]

Character: Andra Rivers, OC
Occupation/Role: Scout, performer, rabble rouser
A/R/N/M: 26, Elf, Ferelden, Not mage
Elevator Pitch: a cheerfully devout city elf who likes to travel and dance and sing for money while also killing people or stealing from them. Sometimes also sleeping with them.
Where They've Been: she lived in the Denerim alienage until she was 15, shortly after the Blight she left. Since then she's been all over the place, Antiva, Rivain, Free Marches, Orlais... pretty much anywhere her company would be welcomed, and who doesn't love traveling entertainment?
Typical Day: she lives down in the valley with her company, and when not there the tavern is her second favorite place.
Plot Interests: Anything! She's brand new and wide open for opportunities!
CR Interests: also open for anything! Negative is most likely to come from Dalish or mages, she's gonna be slow to trust those types.
Character's greatest fear? um abominations everywhere.
Anything Else:

Re: Andra Riveris

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Let Katniss give you the fist bump, sister.

Taaranda Olanat

[suplexpert]

Your Name: Alba
Contact: albaaulbath @ plurk

Character: Taaranda Olanat (OC)
Occupation/Role: Mercenary/Warrior
A/R/N/M: 19/Vashoth/Ferelden/Not a mage
Elevator Pitch: Taaranda is a very sweet, kind, considerate person who is eager to learn more about other people and their cultures -- except when she's in battle and she's going to be incredibly brutal and unmerciful as heck.
Where They've Been: Anywhere Korrin and Lena have been to! So just about anywhere but Tevinter and lands under Qun control.
Typical Day: Taaranda has just arrived, but chances are she's going to be sticking her nose into books, asking your character a million questions, and if you have a dog(!!!!) she wants to pet it. And play with it. And roll in the mud with it. She'll also totally spar with you.
Plot Interests: I want to see how people will encourage Taaranda. Even before the Conclave shenanigans, her temperament in battle has been fiery, but ever since she lost her mother in the resulting explosion she is far less reasonable in a fight and completely without mercy. Will people encourage her to reel back the blood lust, or encourage her to remain destructive? WE'LL SEE.
CR Interests: Taaranda is very inquisitive and is eager to learn about you! So it's really up to your character's attitude that determines the range of friendship they go into. If you're Inquisition, you're an ally, therefore it's a little hard to make her dislike you.
Character's greatest fear? not killing enough dudes!!!!
Anything Else:

[gatheringstorm]

She's got your back, Taar. Just don't break hers.

Elena Gilbert

[empathising]

Your Name: Nat
Contact: manibus

Character: Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)
Occupation/Role: Nothing presently, but I want to build her into a two-handed warrior
A/R/N/M: 18/Vampire/American/Not mage
Elevator Pitch: Elena is a kind, empathetic girl who has lived through a year and a half of intense trauma (her adoptive and biological parents, aunt, and guardian have all died within that time frame). She herself has just died, and is in what's called "transition", the state where one has to choose whether to die or become a vampire.
Where They've Been: She's a Rifter, yo. She's got no friends.
Typical Day: At first, Elena will spending a lot of time just trying to acclimate to her new settings. Eventually, once she's realized the severity of the situation in Thedas, she will approach people she trusts for training in combat — she doesn't believe in sitting idle when she can be of use.
Plot Interests: I would love her to end up training with any two-handed warrior! She's deceptively strong for a girl her size, and I really want her to kick some dragon butt eventually. Also she's a vampire, and I'd love there to be drama associated with that. Depending on whether or not she can develop a support network that she would feel comfortable leaning on with her baby vampire problems, she might accidentally kill somebody. Exciting stuff!
CR Interests: What I'm most interested in currently is getting Elena friends who can help her not lose her shit about being a vampire. It's a hard life, but it's easier with friends, and I'd really like her to not completely fall on her ass about it. That said, I'm also totally open to people seeing her eating the horses and getting upset about it, thinking she's a blood mage, etc! Eventually, at some point down the line, shipping'd be fun too. I'm up for anything.
Character's greatest fear? Being a vampire, isn't that convenient? Also killing someone.
Anything Else: Elena was here a while ago, but I think it's best if she comes in as a blank slate. She has no memory of her being in Thedas before, and I'd prefer if others didn't either!

[trouvaille]

tits or gtfo

[justice_is_blond]

WELCOME BACK

He can't do any fighting training, but he can do blood drama, and maybe come to understand and be friendly?

Alysanne de Forestière

[audacieuse]

Your Name: Amber
Contact: galaxydust

Character: Alysanne de Forestière (Native OC)
Occupation/Role: Glass cannon Elemental (fire, mostly) mage, probably instructor for younger mages once she gets settled and figured out that's a thing that needs to happen. She's gonna be all up in your mage business, Inquisition.
A/R/N/M: 48/human/born in Orlais, lived in the Free Marches for the past 30+ years but still thinks of herself as Orlesian and you can't convince her otherwise/mage
Elevator Pitch: Senior enchanter from the now-defunct Markham Circle, which... ended badly and she's not actually coping especially well (her coping strategy involves Not Thinking About This Terrible Thing At All, Thanks), but unless you ask her about it you probably can't tell. Specialist in elemental and arcane magic. Aequitarian. Vivacious, charming, generous, and intelligent. Also going to be prone to getting herself in trouble when she eventually gets into combat because a) she's really good at biting off more than she can chew even though she should know better and b) she doesn't know a single healing spell. :') Whoops.
Where They've Been: Born noble and raised in Val Chevin until she was twelve years old, when her widower father met and fell in love with a girl from Markham, went and married her against his parents' wishes, and got himself and his children disowned. Ended up moving with her father and younger brother to Markham, after which her latent mage powers manifested and she ended up in the Circle. The Circle tower in Markham was thirty-five years of her life, until a misunderstanding between a mage and a templar started a revolt, parts of the tower were lit ablaze, some people died, and others — including Alysanne — got away. For a few months after that, Alysanne was pretty much stuck on her own in Ferelden. If you ask her that was really a few months too many. Ferelden has way too many dogs. And now! She's in Skyhold.
Typical Day: I expect she'll be in the library, the tavern, and... around, in general, sticking her nose into people's business. Flirting with pretty women (okay, flirting with everyone, but only seriously with pretty women). She's a social sort.
Plot Interests: She's pro-Circle, so I'm open to either other pro-Circle mages being like YEAH THIS SHOULD BE A THING AGAIN or rebel mages trying to convince her the Circles aren't cool. She's pretty good at listening, even if she doesn't always agree, and I'm interested to see how her opinion might change or at least become more nuanced regarding the whole mage freedom thing. Other than that: she's still interested in Orlais and any missions that let her spend some time in her homeland are welcome.
CR Interests: Literally anything. Other mages, other gregarious types, Negative Nancies she can try to cheer up, healers who want to fuss at her when she inevitably gets hurt in a fight with a Red Templar or something and then tries to act like she's fine. Whatever. Come at me.
Character's greatest fear? Probably a close tie between becoming an abomination and dying alone.
Anything Else:

[aintwejust]

ORLESIAN AEQUITARIAN BROFIST HOOOOOOO /brofist Adelaide is happy to have more of her people in the Inquisition- especially teachers. They have so many magelets that need mentors. So. So many.

[gatheringstorm]

If you want a pro-freedom mage to argue at her, I'm all for throwing Korrin her way. She's an apostate but working with the Council and training under Vivienne for Knight-Enchanter stuff, so she's not quite as hard-line as she seems. (But still, mention Templars and her mood plummets.)

[trouvaille]

wrong journal but she is EXTREMELY relevant to benevenuta's interests >) mage cr pls

benny makes a good ambassador for mage freedom, i think, in terms of both the way she approaches it and the fact she can engage with the pro-circle mages without getting dismissed as "over emotional" or whathave because she doesn't actually have a bad circle experience or an axe to grind there. her circle experience was basically "gay hogwarts with skulls".

[fightingale]

LET'S BE NOSTALGIC ABOUT ORLAIS although parts of it leliana of hates these days but w/e
it could be fun to have a mage being pro-circle and leliana yelling about pro-freedom things as a non-mage and stuff, too :|a

ALSO herc likes orlais and the delicious cakes they make there, they can have tea and cakes idek

[doneisdone]

hay gurl [waggles eyebrows]

[justice_is_blond]

Wanna talk Circles with Anders, Alysanne? >.>

Blackwall

[scalethewall]

Your Name: Lain
Contact: squissie

Character: Blackwall
Occupation/Role: Grey Warden. Inner Circle of the Inquisition
A/R/N/M: 40ish?, human, free marcher, not a mage
Elevator Pitch: He's Grey Warden Gordon Blackwall, the most wardeny of wardens! Honestly, he's a random beardy guy the Inquisition found wandering around the woods in the Hinterlands by himself teaching farmers how to fight off bandits. At the time, he was one of the sole Wardens who hadn't up and disappeared, so he joined the Inquisition to represent the Grey Wardens and show that their random disappearance had nothing to do with the mess at the Conclave. He's quiet and keeps to himself until he gets to know you, but until then expect a level of wariness.
Where They've Been: Everywhere. No, seriously. This actually wont be very useful for CR, since no one knows him. No one. But if your character was in Haven before the attack, they might recognize him from there. Then he wandered off to the Storm Coast for a few months looking for Warden tracks.
Typical Day: During the day and late at night he is, almost without fail, hanging around the stables at Skyhold. Evenings/early nights find him around the tavern usually. He does woodworking, spars with the men, and chops wood.
Plot Interests: Yesssss, there are things that will be revealed eventually. In the meantime, he'll be weirdly... weird around the other Grey Wardens and he's always up for going out and hitting stuff.
CR Interests: Open to anything. I expect he might ruffle some feathers.
Character's greatest fear? Himself. His past. The things he can become if he doesn't put forth an effort to be better and live with a purpose.
Anything Else: I was gonna be all fancy and link a gif but my internet threw me the bird and stormed off

[aintwejust]

Stable bro? Stable bro. STABLE BRO! Malcolm will remember words in their thread and talk like a human being in a moment I promise.

Also Zev.

Also Orlesian Mage that side eyes wardens because wtf even.

basically i want to throw everyone at you ever.

[wickedchase]

TWO THINGS!

Twisted Fate will be interested in casually hanging out. He might flirt a little bit but it's all friendly since he's dating Nerva, but he figures if Sera likes Blackwall he's going to be pretty okay with him and may invite him to a "friendly" game of cards a few times. (Friendly, because we both know he cheats.)

Alejandro will be terse and a little aggressive with Blackwall because he has a very low opinion of most of the Grey Wardens. We'll see if he warms up to Blackwall or not!

Athos.

[aeipathos]

Your Name: Jansen
Contact: midcirclenine

Character: Athos. (The Musketeers [BBC])
Occupation/Role: Chevalier. (Hopefully he'll be some sort of swords trainer or vague strategist or just a good fighter they send out, idk.)
A/R/N/M: 30, Human, Orlesian, Not a mage.
Elevator Pitch: Sullen, taciturn moral mercenary seeks literally no one. Go away. (Okay he's a chevalier running from his past but the other one was so pithy.)
Where They've Been: He's from Orlais but technically I've left him vaguely ~travelling for the last five years. I feel like he's acquainted with Ferelden but he's probably spent his more recent time elsewhere and only just returned in time to hear about the Inquisition, but I'm open to potential ideas.
Typical Day: He's new to Skyhold, but he's going to be p easy to spot around the training grounds or if it's in the evening, the tavern. He tends to eschew areas with large groups of people or noise, so one might find him in the garden from time to time because it's quieter. Or, at random times, in the stables with the horses. He likes animals.
Plot Interests: He's a bit difficult bc he's unlikely to force himself into situations, but he's ridic easy to drag into things once you've gotten him involved. Mostly I'd like to test his social skills - he doesn't technically have a problem with people, but he tends to try to avoid them. It would be great if he could teach people some swordsmanship, or find someone here and there to have simpler conversations with; things without too much ulterior or hidden meaning. Ultimately, I mean, he's elected to join a group of people for a common good, which are the two things he both dislikes and likes most of all, so.
CR Interests: Athos doesn't tolerate stupidity for very long, if at all, and he isn't a fan of small-talk stating the obvious. Not that he doesn't know how to chatter, just. You have to already be friends, rather than be using it to become such. I know being prickly and whatnot is difficult to work with from the other perspective, so I'm going to be both totally willing and attempting to put him in situations just outside his range of comfort as often as I reasonably can. So if you have a weird thing or something that doesn't fit well somewhere, I'm game. Or whatever you want to do, I'm open either way.
Character's greatest fear? His own cowardice, and living without meaning.
Anything Else:
