Character: Bruce ~~Banner~~ (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
Occupation/Role: Surgeon, Abomination Angst Central
A/R/N/M: 33, human/Relatively Stable Abomination, Ferelden who is no longer Ferelden, totally NOT A MAGE
Elevator Pitch: A mage who doesn't like maging and eventually turns into a giant green rage lyrium demon.

Opinions: Bruce has opinions about things that he will never voice out because he doesn't think he is in a position to say anything in the first place given that he's 'no longer human'. He's been pointedly staying out of ALL THE POLITICS and just doing what he came here to do - that is to heal the injured and the sick. However with enough CR and prodding he might actually say something, although it'll be nicely paraphrased and vaguely neutral because he's an ass like that.

In general though he's very chill about a lot of things and is okay so long as you don't hurt other people, etc. As for religion he was formerly a very devout Andrastian, but Things Happened and now he doesn't really believe in anything except in his own angsty spiral of angst.

Where They've Been: Everywhere!! Barring main parts of Tevinter and Par Vollen because yeah there's no way he could get through there without something happening. He's been going around Thedas since 9:35 Dragon so anytime between then until 9:41 when the Inqusition first comes to the Crossroads since that's when Bruce joined. Of course, all pre-established CR is totally cool with me!! I love pre-established CR.

As for Hulk its been making some rounds as well as seen here. People are generally free to assume to have seen those sightings and if you want to plot things around that, feel free!!

Future Plans: Become a True Hero. Eventually. In Time. But for now just more CR and knowing more people and having everyone like him before he eventually tanks everything because Hulk.

CR Desires: ALL THE CR EVER. Bruce just needs more people that can poke him out of his hermity shell and stuff like that. He doesn't bite, I promise. He tends to be a more reacting than acting person so he def. needs more people who can be active around him and stuff like that. But like with everything, I'm super open to plotting and stuff so never hesitate to contact me to do stuff.

Anything Else: I HAVE AN OPEN LOG for anybody who wants to tag with him!! Also:

Character: Jamie McCrimmon (Doctor Who)
Occupation/Role: Rifter and shiny new member of the Inquistion
A/R/N/M: 25, Human, Scottish/rifter, non-mage
Elevator Pitch: He's a former time-traveling Scot (complete with kilt) who's now adjusting to his new life in Thedas, fighting demons and closing rifts with the glowing mark that's wound up embedded in his hand.
Opinions: Most of the mages he's met have been perfectly reasonable people, and seem alright to him. Unless, of course, they're the sort that like to set people's skirts on fire, then they're completely daft. :| So far he's not really all that sure about the templars, and dislikes the people who treat the other races poorly no matter who they are. This is especially true if they're treating someone poorly who is either a lassie or his friend. And Maraas-lok will knock you on your arse, but boy, what a drink.
Where They've Been: So far (in Thedas), he has been to Haven, Skyhold and the Fallow Mire. He really does not want to go back to the Mire, thanks.
Future Plans: Learning more about his mark, learning to read (which I will hopefully have something up soon), going on Adventures!, trying not to be homesick.
CR Desires: Pretty much the same as before: CR with more templars just so he can see there's more to them than just what's on the surface. Whether that's good or bad CR, well, that depends on how things go, doesn't it? In general, however, positive and negative CR is more than welcome, and he is always up to making more friends. Flirting or being talked into doing things by strong-willed stubborn lasses would be great - and everyone ever is welcome to tease him about his ~~skirt~~ kilt. So long as they don't mind him pulling faces, that is.

Character: Alfsigr (Dragon Age OC)

Occupation/Role: (Former) Circle Mage trying to make herself useful.

A/R/N/M: 22, Human (Elf-blooded), Dalish-raised Fereldan, Mage

Elevator Pitch: Fuckin' cutie who has no idea how she can help with all of this mess but really wants to help, please let her help.

Opinions: Pro-Circle, pretty live and let live about other people and creeds (though followers of the Qun make her nervous in spite of herself), interested in - but terribly confused by - all things political. Believes in the Creators, and Andraste and the Maker.

Where They've Been: When she was young, Alfsigr travelled quite a bit with her mother's clan, where she was given the foundations of her magical training. Being the spare of the spare and unable to find a place with another clan, however, she eventually wound up left in a human village and ultimately found a permanent home at Kinloch Hold.

Future Plans: I would really love for Alfsigr to reconnect with her Dalish roots. She has a lot of mixed feelings about being cast out because of her human side. She's presented/passed as human for a very long time and is starting to want to be more open about her mixed heritage. I also want her to research spirits and the impact they can have beyond the Fade. There's all sorts of potential for trouble there that I am totally into.

CR Desires: I love positive CR, I love negative CR. I want Alfsigr to make more friends! Or maybe annoy some people with how earnest and frankly naive she can be at times.

Anything Else: I have an open log that I'd be happy to add more threads to if anyone is keen. Seriously, bros. Come at me with anything.

Character: Kain Highwind
Occupation/Role: Warrior, he'll gladly go out and stab things, etc, participate in missions where needed. He's got that very solderlike mentality to him.
A/R/N/M: 21/Human/Rifter/Not Mage
Elevator Pitch: Kain is a dragoon, a warrior who uses airborne/wind-based attacks and fights with a large spear. He's a huge dragon fanboy and enjoys fighting them if he's given the chance. He has a dark siiiiide in him and tries hard to resist it by doing the right thing as much as possible. He's prone to backstabbing/possession BUT he is determined to behave here. Sort of moody and broody, but he lightens up when he gets to know someone well enough. He does tend to focus on Serious Business above all else though.
Opinions: So far, he thinks the templars are generally overdoing it, but that the mages still do need some kind of guidance/protection. He's pretty much in the middle/neutral and determined to stay that way. He's got no interest in political matters, anyway.
Where They've Been: He's been around Skyhold (loves the ramparts/towers), and the Emprise du Leon mission. He originally came here via a rift to the Mire which was... fun... (yuuuuck!) Anyway, I'd love to give him more traveling excuses!
Future Plans: Just getting him used to things, finding his place, etc. He's coming to terms with actually being alive again considering the way his last huge war in another world ended (yaaay Dissidia 012 and its Bad End). The Inquisition gives him a focus and purpose so far, which is something that Kain really needs. Of course, playing around with his whole traitor thing is a longterm goal, but something I'd save for the right place/time/situation (and after he's got a bunch of friends to backstab).
CR Desires: I love both positive and negative CR, BRING IT ALL. Kain makes for a great rivalry if things go that way. He can also be a loyal friend and will fight beside those he cares for without question. He loves combat and sparring, so always goes for those things. HE WOULD LOVE TO FIGHT A DRAGON. Seriously, if anyone is ever planning such a mission, this is the guy you want to take. He also totally needs to get drunk again (despite his claims otherwise), and get his ass kicked in Wicked Grace someday.

Character: Dorian Pavus (Dragon Age)
Occupation/Role: Researcher (complex magical theory and Tevinter magical history and the overlap thereof), battlemage.
A/R/N/M: 30/human/Tevinter/mage.
Elevator Pitch: Altus mage from Tevinter, backflipped out a window into Ferelden, middle fingers raised. Very shiny and flamboyant. A total magic nerd who disguises it in academic elitism, or the other way around. Earnestly would like the world to be saved. Closet idealist.
Opinions: The Tevinter Imperium is dreadfully corrupt, its governance masturbatory, and future bleak, and when it isn't completely terrifying and rife with murder and cruelty, it can be very silly. but it also remains the pinnacle of human society in culture, magic, technology, and history, and in dire need of redemption for these reasons. The Imperium is an informal magocracy and so Dorian's opinions of his fellow mages is less about captivity vs freedom and more on a scale of education and perspective. Human mages shouldn't be masters of the universe, sorry magisters, but they should be masters of themselves in service to the universe, and you can't do that if you're constantly afraid of yourself.

Slavery is a necessary facet of Tevinter's economy that Dorian can't see an end to and wilfully dismisses as an alternative to the crippling poverty as seen in places like Kirkwall, but give him time. All he knows about Qunari is what he's been taught and skirmishes on their borders, and so is immediately critical of what he knows and is open to learning, lacking any nationalist zeal for their natural enemies. The same goes for elves, both Dalish and city, in that he is ignorant and knows it but isn't xenophobic.

In short: he has many opinions.

Where They've Been: Dorian was born in Qarinus, Tevinter, but spent his glory adult years in the capital city Minrathous where he actually participated in court life (if as a contentious quality rather than fitting in, see: opinions), and was named an Enchanter of its Circle of Magi. Generally, Dorian has bumped around all corners of Tevinter, but has travelled further too, from Nevarra to the Free Marches to Val Royeaux, and likely other major southern cities, but he's only ever been a tourist. The last few months prior to joining the Inquisition had seen him living rough on the edges and just south of Redcliffe.

Future Plans: Continued attempts to get CR via plot missions, continued nosying in of mage business to try to shift the local political tide to something more favourable to him personally and useful to the Inquisition at large. He's probably going to hug Felix. Someone should find him feeling sorry for himself sometime. I also like writing murder of monsters.

CR Desires: I desire CR.

Anything Else: I'm playing catch up (I'm in a perpetual state of playing catch up) so keeping an eye on the new things I'm getting myself into, but so long as you don't mind planning stuff for 'in a wee bit' instead of 'riGHT NOW', I am very open to all the things, please do hit me up.

Your Name: Isana
Contact: plurk

Character: Korrin Ataash (Dragon Age)
Occupation/Role: Mercenary mage from the Valo-Kas company, a member of the Inquisition Council of Magi
A/R/N/M: 25, Qunari (Vashoth), Free Marcher, Mage.
Elevator Pitch: Headstrong, stubborn, blunt but beneath all that (not very far, either) a caring person who 100% supports those who have her back. Also very supportive of her fellow mages and looking to be an example as both one and a Vashoth.
Opinions: Mage freedom forever. She has no problem with other races, though a high dose of wariness for actual followers of the Qun. She's vaguely Andrastian in that she believes in the Maker, but doesn't care for the Chantry's methods and politics at all, or politics in general. Aside from Qunari, she has a hefty distrust of Templars and blood mages. Don't expect her to budge on any of that.
Where They've Been: Honestly, she's been all over. Anywhere except Tevinter or Seheron/Par Vollen is fair game. So if you want to have run into her from past exploits, likely with the Valo-Kas, just let me know.
Future Plans: Mostly winging it, but she REALLY wants to free the villagers at the Sahrnia quarry pronto. And she'll be plaguing the Mage Council will her unholy apostate presence, either in person or via sending crystal. Other than that, I'm pretty open!
CR Desires: Friends, lovers, not-family, give me all the positive CR! She's missing her mercenary family, and needs a substitute for that. I'd love for her to gain more friends or deepen the friendships she already has, as well as have people to flirt with/become protective over. She's actually very squishy with feelings once her trust is gained, so if you want a horned mage buddy for life, here she is.

Character: Alayre Sauveterre (formerly Judge Magister Zargabaath, Final Fantasy XII)
Occupation/Role: Former Knight-Commander of Pharos (Orlais), Templar, and possible Representative of the Templar Delegation in Skyhold (not sure if that will be finalized or not)
A/R/N/M:
Age: 43
Race: Human
Nationality: Orlesian
Non-Mage
Elevator Pitch: Alayre Sauveterre is an annoying admirable Templar hailing from Orlais who blindly places his faith in the Maker's Will and that of others. He's like a living oxymoron to what others view Templars to be and upholds a certain level of conduct unrecognizable by those native to Thedas. Alayre is a complex individual who honestly seems to be the epitome of equanimity but is known to be too idealistic at times.

Opinions: Alayre's opinions about the Templar and Mages issue here at the Hold are slightly sour at times. He understands the Mages are justified in their demands for reform but sometimes he's hesitant to comply. On the other hand, Alayre knows fundamentally that change is desperately needed in order for the Inquisition to function as a unified force. In a sense, Alayre finds himself constantly swaying back and forth in the issue and seeks some sort of compromise to appease both parties.

Though in all due honesty, Alayre is honestly a tad frustrated these days due to this very issue.

Where They've Been: The Tower of Pharos is a remote tower hidden within the forests of the Applewoods near the magistrate city of Servault. For any character hailing from Orlais, especially Mage and Templar, some may have heard of it. Pharos was known to be quite beautiful but that beauty paled in comparison to the madness that ensued there. While it was better than most other towers, rumors regarding Knight-Commander Villeneuve's reign lingers. Alayre was Captain during that time.

Future Plans: I don't have any specific plans for Alayre just yet but it's my desire to see him grow more as an individual. He's quite heavily involved in his faith and seems quite used to the roles of leadership. I would like for him to continue along this path and eventually become a worthy enough leader in the eyes of others.

CR Desires: Both positive and negative CR is greatly welcomed to help me explore his character further.

Anything Else: Nothing else, I think other than he did arrive to Skyhold with fifteen Templar hailing from Pharos. They're all quite noticeable and usually stick to their native tongue except for a few. Alayre's men are quite nationalistic at times and sometimes just plain rude. Like snobby wannabe cultured bastard rude. It also should be noticed that Alayre's men take sport in making fun if Fereldans, so have fun with that! (^_^)

Your Name: Hope!
Contact: asyndeton @ plurk

Character: Kitty (The Bartimaeus Series)
Occupation/Role: Barmaid! She is the one cheerfully serving you your drinks at the Herald's Rest tavern. She also does occasional runs for supplies in the immediate Skyhold area on her pony, trading supplies for wool and woolen goods and thick socks. Socks are important to the Inquisition.
A/R/N/M: 17 / Dwarf / Not a mage
Elevator Pitch: Kitty is a deeply angry revolutionary who is intensely worked up about class issues and about freedom. A low-caste dwarva girl growing up in the Tevinter Embassies, she got kicked out after nearly sparking a diplomatic incident and then proceeded to immediately join up with an anti-mage group in Minrathous. After her group was tricked, betrayed, and destroyed, she started moving south, dodging the war as best she could and eventually joining up with the Inquisition. She's starting to get comfortable in the Inquisition, a bit - she still doesn't trust much of anyone, which means that she keeps up the cheerfulness and tries to seem like nothing more than a sweet young thing, but she's starting to relax. Also she is intensely nerdy for learning and wants to read everything and will scam for books. Also she is sort of a stupid teenage girl who has a lot of emotions all the time and doesn't really know how to deal with them because teenagers. Also she really likes laughing and teasing people and so the facade of being really sweet isn't 100% a facade even though she thinks it is.
Opinions:
NOBLES AND HIGH-BORN: Ugh. Hereditary nobility is a blight on the face of Thedas. They ought to be stripped of their titles and power should be evenly distributed amongst the working classes.
TEVINTER: UGH. Slavery is an even bigger blight on the face of Thedas and must be destroyed.
DWARVES: She misses her people. :( And also deeply distrusts her people. :(
ELVES: So interesting! So defensive. She just wants to find out everything about them.
MAGES: ???? She just had a conversation with Anders where he really laid out for her how awful things are in the Circle, and obviously she's heard a fair amount about the Suckiness of Circles from the mages in the Inquisition, so while she has that knee-jerk hatred of Tevinter mage tyranny she also feels deeply conflicted and ambivalent.
WARDENS: They're weirdly cute???
Where They've Been: Kitty is from Tevinter, lived for a few years as a thief/rebel in Minrathous, and has been traveling largely in Orlais. It's not impossible that she stole from your character if they were ever in Tevinter, and it's not impossible she's bartered with your character on the road from Orlais.
Future Plans: I've said this before and then fell down on it because of real-life stuff but I'd love to get Kitty into scouting!! Spying, et cetera. I'd really like to have her run missions.
CR Desires: I'd really love people who can get past her bubbly surface - her chipperness is about 55% fake and 45% real, so anyone who could get at her truer personality of being fairly angry and outspoken would be so cool. Which doesn't necessarily mean negative CR - she often responds to passion with passion. So, angry people, basically, is what I want. Also super into dwarf CR. Also into CR with people her age! She's a wee teenager surrounded by actual grown-ups, which is like the reverse of most RPs. Oh and nerds, she loves nerds, bring her nerds, especially nerds for magic, she wants to know more about magic.

Character: Maxwell Trevean (Inquisitor Trevelyan with the serial numbers scrapped off )
Occupation/Role: Scouting, primarily. Recently wrangling of nobility. Occasionally maker of things, and lifter of heavy things/reacher of high things.
A/R/N/M: 30, Human, Free Marches, no magical talent whatsoever.
Elevator Pitch: Youngest son of noble family who had all sorts of designs for their son's future, whether or not he agreed. When this Inquisition thing rolled around, he backflipped out of his tower, took his ball, and ran away to Skyhold.
Opinions: Maxwell's pretty easy going and believes in giving everyone a chance to speak for themselves (he grew up without such a chance, so it's pretty important to him). Mages, dwarves, elves, Qunari, whatever the hell you are, so long as you're a good person, you'll be fine.
Where They've Been: He's from Ostwick, where his family's main estate is, but he's traveled some. Including one notable excursion to the Grand Tourney in which he competed.
Future Plans: I'm hoping to have Maxwell really deal with his family. He does not want to go back, so some support to give him the courage/strength, plus those would be willing to help get them off his back somehow.
CR Desires: I'm pretty easy going and totally cool with just throwing characters together to see how things stick. So if you're thinking "I wonder if..." go for it. Chances are it'll be cool.

Character: Salvatore (DA OC)
Occupation/Role: Mage - Necromancer
A/R/N/M: 23, Human, Nevarran, Mage
Elevator Pitch: Cheerful nercomancer who wants to see the world. More likely has his nose stuffed in a book. Wants to see the world set free, but balks at responsibility.

Opinions: Sal is pretty okey-dokey with most people, places, and things, as long as they are decent. Politics make his head spin, so he'd rather not. He's vaguely religious, but not really.

Where They've Been: He is from Nevarra, born in Cumberland but spent most of his life in the Perendale Circle. He joined the Inquisition after the Circle fell. Aside from Skyhold, he's seen the Fallow Mire and the Western Approach.

Future Plans: Developing relationships/cr. Maybe actually taking on some kind of responsibility...

CR Desires: Anything, everything....

Your Name: Syrup
Contact:

PurpleSyrup

Character: Simon Tam (Firefly AU)
Occupation/Role: Healy healer who heals with magic and the occasional herbal remedy.
A/R/N/M: 26, human, Nevarran, mage.
Elevator Pitch: Simon is a circle mage with a few layers of dark and uncomfortable secrets. Most know that he takes care of his sister who is 'unwell', and that he joined the Inquisition looking for sanctuary for them both while he works on curing her. Few might know that his sister is unwell because she is a mage and was experimented on by unscrupulous Tevinter Magisters, from whom Simon rescued her. No one knows exactly how exactly he accomplished this or that it involved learning blood magic.
Opinions: Being a mage he's rather pro-mage himself, favoring reforming and reinstating the Circle and Templar Order, with heavy emphasis on reform. He's aware that Cumberland Circle was very nice compared to most other circles, and believes that if all of them could be like his things would be much better. He's most familiar and comfortable with elves from the few he's met in his own circle, though he's still a bit awkward around the Dalish. Dwarves he's not familiar with at all beyond some passing stereotypes, and while he's met some Qunari in the Inquisition he still knows jack all about the Qun itself, as everything he heard about it in Tevinter was so horrible he believes it couldn't really be true. The Imperium is at war with the Qunari, after all, and has been for ages. Simon is a comfortable Andrastian, though he's more of the opinion that 'the Maker helps those who help themselves' and tends not to bother much with prayer. On a whole Simon is pretty moderate to conservative, but if the rules that he likes ever start to apply too strongly to River then he's likely to kick off and start a fight. Otherwise he avoids them as best he can, not wanting to come under too close a scrutiny. It's worth nothing that in spite of having to save River from the Imperium, doesn't have a negative opinion on 'vints on a whole. He wouldn't have been able to get her out without the help of other Tevinter mages, after all.
Where They've Been: Simon's been quite a few places. From his home in Cumberland he hurried North to the Tevinter Imperium for a few years, working on saving River. After which he and his sister fled back South (at one point crossing the Waking Sea by purchasing passage Malcolm Reynold's ship) to hide/join the Inquistion as soon as he heard about it.
Future Plans: Simon's biggest goal right now is to find a way to stabilize River at the very least, this would also open them both up to start taking war table missions. The plan right now is for Simon to learn about how the Qunari handle their mages and adapt a more humane version of their collars, which would involve a player plot to go out and find one to study. Also, at some point, I'd like the fact that the Tams are being hunted to come up and bite them in the butt.
CR Desires: ARE YOU QUNARI? OR ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE QUN? SIMON NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU! \o/ Also more people to consider friends, or enemies, or just be awkward around. With Simon it'll mostly be awkward.

Character: Scipio the Marvel (Marvallo? Maravello? Marvelvallo? still can't spell!!!) || OC
Occupation/Role: Warden, somewhat reluctantly. Amateur sock thief.
A/R/N/M: 26 (?)/Human/Antivan/not a mage

Elevator Pitch: charming lovable bastard with a pretty face. former con man and thief. the dreamer of the fab criminal duo that is Scipio and Rafael. clever, roguish, talented, great partier, loves people but is afraid of commitment. very cold.

Opinions: he's actually pretty cool with everyone. growing up as he did has given him a lot of tolerance and while also giving him the chance to meet all sorts of people, and he's easygoing enough to have very few strong opinions. but he's also very irritating and also be nice to his friend or he might start a flashy fight with you. and then run away.

Where They've Been: He's from Antiva City! Where he had a prosperous criminal career for ten years before a wee critical error. A list of Skip and Rafa's heists: Two Priests and a Dog, Drunken Watchmen, Drunken Watchmen Parts II-VII, Trick Pony Party, The Noodle Incident, Curly Shoes and Cats, Too Many Seals, and many more. If you make one up I'll go with it. They had achieved some notoriety before they took their new jobs, so their names might be known, but they didn't get out of Antiva overmuch because don't go chasin' waterfalls. spent a brief time in Kirkwall. went home immediately.

Future Plans: recently committed an act of petty thievery, without Rafael's help. ill-advised. might suffer some consequences soon. he will do anything to get socks. he's going to be involved with Warden stuff like it or not (he doesn't like it). also he'll still fetch anything upon request, price negotiable (socks please)

CR Desires: he's a Warden but he's bad at behaving himself. I kind of want him to get better. people to encourage that would be cool. teach him how to spell maybe. admire his skills at the lute. assumed CR is great. people to irritate, great. negative CR, great. and if you want your socks to have gone missing, or socks to give away, he's your guy.

special note: I REALLY WANT AN ENEMY. mostly for fun fighting. nothing too serious. don't be super charmed by him, ok! I know it's hard, but. try.

also PLEASE NOTE that I sucked at doing my log tags last month & I'm real sorry about it :c December and its lead up is busy for me. I will be returning those log tags today hopefully even though they're a little old now. feel free to drop them or anything, always, and I promise to be better in the future!
