PLOT FEELERS

[faderifting]

Is your character doing, researching, or stumbling into something that you'd like other participants for? Put it here.

elven research;

[arcaneadvisor]

I'll keep this brief since I've mentioned it several times but Morrigan has been reaching out regarding elven research as mentioned in the following posts, here and here. The ooc post is here.

But since it was mentioned on plurk where I don't have everyone added: I was thinking about making a gdoc for all of us so we could keep track of things that characters know ICly with a sort of thread info dump/link dump, and maybe linking to things from the wiki/World of Thedas (I've got both volumes so I don't mind going through and adding bits and pieces to it) and we can all edit and add things as needed for each other? Just a thought since it worked really well in an old game for everyone keeping track of lore and info both for ic and ooc knowledge for characters and players!

NEW CHARACTERS

If you're a new player or an old player with a new character, you can put your CR meme reply here to make sure you don't get buried!

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.

Can your character teach other characters who are in the market to Do Cool Shit how to Do Cool Shit? Say so here! For ease of reference, we suggest putting the spec in the subject line. If you have a training page elsewhere, feel free to link it.

Trap Making

[samahl]

Cyril is an Artificer but he's too new to that field to train someone how to do all of the things, but he can help them learn to make and maintain basic traps and spike traps.

Mel's Nerds

[samahl]

Cyril Ashara

[samahl]

Character: Cyril Ashara (Dragon Age)
Occupation/Role: Scout. He also sells traps and other assorted devices in the courtyard.
A/R/N/M: 24, Elf, Dalish, Rogue.

Elevator Pitch: Flirty Dalish elf who kind of sucks at being Dalish.

Where They've Been: Cyril is part of Clan Ashara (there are a few of us around). Clan Ashara is based in the Free Marches and in general stayed away from humans and othes. Cyril and his brother Merrick, however, were not above playing tricks on humans when they ventured into the woods. Since joining the Inquisition Cyril helped retake Suledin Keep, aided Beleth with her drive to help city elves, and joined Twisted Fate's party to aid his Clan. Mostly he hangs around Skyhold though. He also also very vocal about his displeasure over Galadriel's imprisonment.

Typical Day: For now, Cyril has a room he shares with his brother. It's in one of the broken down parts of the castle so they were able to secure the room because not many people were clambering for it. He wakes up super early and does a very involved morning beauty routine to get ready. He sells traps and other devices in the courtyard during the day, unless he's needed to help scout around the castle. His scouting missions tend to be of the 'there was a rock slide last night, let's go make sure this path is still open for pilgrims' kind of variety. Later in the day he's usually found around the tavern or blacksmith. He tends to go home with guys when they seem interested but rarely falls asleep with anyone who isn't Taas or Sam, so he usually can be found walking to back to his and Merrick's room before the end of the night. (This is being done with less frequency lately, as he's starting to spend more and more time with either Taas or Sam.)

Plot Interests: Nothing specific this month. In the upcoming months he might have a personal quest.

CR Interests: I'm pretty much up for anything.

Character's greatest fear? Losing control of himself or having other people control him.

Anything Else:

Shawna's Suckers

[motherfucking_ghost]

Your Name: Shawna
Contact: Shadowesque, bewd ceo @ aim, shadowesque13 @ skype

walking foot in mouth disease

[motherfucking_ghost]

Character: Leonard Church / Red vs BLUE TEAM RULES
Occupation/Role: Skyhold nuisance
A/R/N/M: shrug, vaguely mostly human, it's life jim but not as we know it, just take a second to imagine him with magic go on
Elevator Pitch: Sort-of-space-soldier has terribly stupid and often deadly adventures with his team and the opposite team until he finds out his life is a lie, issues of both memory and mortality ensue
Where They've Been: Nowhere but the Fallow Mire because fuck leaving safety and relative comfort, bro (but that will change, oh that will certainly change)
Typical Day: Plllaces, kitchens bc food is a beautiful thing he's discovered, library teaching himself this place (y'all are complicated), healing tents bothering the spirit healers, napping in the stables, shooting arrows VERY POORLY at targets
Plot Interests: He'll be figuring out how to work his pain laser shield he's being gifted with, please throw things at him. Getting involved with Rifter Rights. Forcing him out of Skyhold for fucking once. Always stuff with his previously less than human status.
CR Interests: He's good at butting himself into whatever and whoever's business and is easy to have both positive and negative cr with, all of which is beautiful and unfortunate
Character's greatest fear? EVERYONE HE'S SUPPOSED TO PROTECT DYING (again), alternately: losing all of his memories (again)
Anything Else:

Wizera | Ariadne

[demonicbeauty]

Your Name: Wizera
Contact: Plurk or PMing this journal works

Character: Ariadne (Original)
Occupation/Role: At this point, nothing much. Ariadne's mostly been fetching and carrying things, also bringing food to the refugees. She's started talking with Leliana, though. She may end up signing on as a scout.
A/R/N/M: 19/"Human"/Rifter/Not a Mage
Elevator Pitch: Ariadne is a pretty and bright-eyed optimist who can tell when you're lying and also rip you into tidy strips of bacon with her fingernails.
Where They've Been: Ariadne is from an original universe that I made up and which really doesn't matter. She's mostly stuck to Skyhold, with just a few brief trips elsewhere.
Typical Day: Ariadne usually sleeps in a tree in one of the courtyards. In the morning, she'll hit up the mess and bring leftover food to the refugees. After that, she'll usually try to volunteer to help the healers or the builders (mostly fetching and carrying). In the evenings, she'll entertain the refugee children by playing her flute for them. She can also often be found with Katniss Everdeen, her newly adopted sister.
Plot Interests: I don't have much planned, but I would like to get Airy more invested in the Inquisition. A permanent job would be nice. She also needs more friends among the natives.
CR Interests: I would like pretty much anything. Especially interested in shippy shit, overcoming Rifter prejudice, and meeting with other people slightly to the left of Human. In general, I prefer positive CR for her, since she's just a little beam of sunlight, but she could potentially get on someone's nerves with her aggressive optimism, I suppose. But seriously, anything.
Character's greatest fear? Sensory deprivation. Ariadne is all about experiencing life with all five of her senses. The idea of being trapped in water for an extended period of time is terrifying to her. Not because she can't swim or hold her breath, but because it would rob her of the ability to smell and touch and hear.

You up for Ellana giving her elven language lessons? :3

Isana's 'fuck Templars and the Qun' Vashoth

[gatheringstorm]

Your Name: Isana
Contact: Plurk

Character: Korrin Ataash (Dragon Age)
Occupation/Role: mercenary mage, Councilor
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.
Where They've Been: Everywhere that isn't Tevinter or Qunari-held lands is fair game! COME AT ME, BRO.
Typical Day: Broad strokes: She spends days training (both Knight-Enchanter and Rift Mage stuff0 and doing whatever the Inquisition needs of her. Evenings are tavern time. She shares sleeping space with Araceli and Lux. The best places to find her are by the training dummies, at the tavern, or the kitchen/undercroft.
Plot Interests: Korrin will be gung-ho about going to the Western Approach and resolving the crap that's going on there. (Some of that might be eagerness to be where it isn't snowing or drizzling all the time.) She's a brand-new Rift Mage, so I'd love to have her work on that with someone in-game, either a fellow student or mentor. Otherwise, I'm pretty open and she can be drawn into others' issues very easily.
CR Interests: Friends, flirt-buddies, not-family, give me all the positive CR! (Given her views and blunt nature, negative CR happens so I'm not seeing a need to purposely cultivate it.) She's missing her mercenary family, but some of them are arriving, so help her welcome them into the fold! 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's greatest fear? You know, the standard mage shit; Tranquility, becoming an abomination, anything that would take away who she is. Also the whole saarebas thing.
Anything Else:



Why have we not had this happen in-game yet, this is unacceptable.

[fightingale]

i would greatly enjoy more leliana & korrin and also ruby & korrin things! currently just waiting on some mod feedback on ruby's great (pointless) emma hunt but once i know things then random adventures could be a thing?

Leliana

[fightingale]

Character: Leliana ( Dragon Age )
Occupation/Role: Spymaster, Left Hand, Seneschal, The Nightingale
A/R/N/M: 38, Human, Fereldan-Orlesian, Not-Mage
Elevator Pitch: Crafter of the largest spy network in Thedosian history, veteran of the Fifth Blight, enthusiast for adorable creatures, the Maker and Andraste but not always the Chantry, FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE.
Where They've Been: allllll over Ferelden and Orlais and conceivably the Free Marches, probably a good bit of running around Antica and Nevarra
Typical Day: Most of her time is spent in the Rookery, can also be found around Josie's office and the War Room, sometimes in the gardens or Chantry room (both of those quite rare.) She sleeps in chambers off from the Rookery. Her runners and scouts are seen more often than she is.
Plot Interests: I am really interested in furthering Leliana's involvement with mage and elf rights, and having her push these matters further both within and beyond the Inquisition. Spy stuff and intrigues are always my jam! Chances for Leliana (or her scouts) to uncover things about people would also be quite cool. Always open to have her involved in areas where the spymaster might be able to help, as well!
CR Interests: I find that with Leliana it can be quite hard to do casual chatting logs or sustain a log without a specific purpose just because she is very focused and always busy and doing things, so having her just standing around and talk can feel a bit awkward. That said, I am so keen for cr!!! I just find it helpful to have a direction for threads, and sometimes threads with her can be quite short/direct but I am more than happy to do follow ups. Negative and positive cr are both great, but I will sometimes be slower with neg cr stuff purely because I find I need to give it more thought and energy.
Character's greatest fear? ohhhh goooddd
people losing their freedom and sense of personhood
pretty much everything Corypheus represents
dying without doing enough to help make the world better
lbr she became what she hated already, so most of her fears are for other people

Araceli Bonaventura

[foxsays]

Character: Araceli Bonaventura (original, rifter)
Occupation/Role: Parkour instructor, trainee bard
A/R/N/M: 20/human/Castilean/not-mage (rogue)
Elevator Pitch: In the words of Church she's Spanish Robin Hood parkour master with a fox.
Where They've Been: She's been to the Fallow Mire, Emprise du Lion, and she's been to Antiva twice now; tracked and rescued scouts (Fallow Mire), rescuing people from cages and making snowshoes (Emprise du Lion, rescuing Zevran and freeing slaves + whatever else we do in that log (Antiva). She was also really into being rifter PR but she's done with that now.
Typical Day: Shares quarters with Korrin Ataash but she spends a lot of her time in the library doing the required bard reading, parkouring around Skyhold either to teach or just because the ground and stairs are for chumps, and hanging out in the kitchens by day. Or you can catch her playing the lute. By night she's in the tavern playing cards and dice with anyone and everyone.
Plot Interests: Probably more bard related things and getting her involved in that since it's really close to her job back home, and I plan to have more of that coming out since she's played those cards very close to her chest.
CR Interests: Anything and everything but more flirting friends as well as more people who are super into the sea would be great. Feel free to handwave having bumped into her in the tavern, up on the rooftops etc
Character's greatest fear? The sea rejecting her and everyone from home forgetting her because she's been gone for so long :c

Ellana Ashara

[serannas]

Character: Ellana Ashara (OC)
Occupation/Role: She's a jack of all trades, so she does whatever needs doing. She's on the mage council, though.
A/R/N/M: 27, Elf, Dalish, mage
Elevator Pitch: Ellana is the third mage of Clan Ashara and therefore has bounced around, trying to find her place since she'll never be a Keeper someday. Officially, she was hearthkeeper, but that left her with a lot of free time to putter around helping others with their jobs. She always wants to be useful and lend a hand. She's very selfless and tries to see all sides before forming an opinion. More than anything, she wants to learn about people: who they are, where they come from, and what their lives are like. She was never allowed to stray far from the Dalish camp until now, so she has so much to learn!
Where They've Been:

Free Marches

The Hinterlands

Fallow Mire

Emprise du Lion

Skyhold, of course
Typical Day: Ellana has her own bedroom within Skyhold that until recently, she shared with Sabriel. Everyday she can be found in the library or in the Herald's Rest. At all other times she's just roaming around. Sometimes she's carrying/reading a book or carrying/playing her lute.
Plot Interests: I want her to make friends with other races and basically become more worldly. She has a lot of potential for growth, because there's so much about the world she doesn't know. I want her to come into her own by serving on the mage council, where she can help her fellow mages by listening to their needs. I also want her to go out and explore elven ruins because she wants to help the People by studying their past and hope it can give them more to hang onto for the future. Slowly, she's gaining knowledge in various areas by taking lessons/playing games/observing things. She has now specialized in Shapeshifting as well.
CR Interests: I prefer positive to negative CR but I can do negative as long as it's easy to just have them walk away and not bother each other again? If that makes sense. I don't play characters who live to antagonize or seek others out just to taunt them, basically. Skipping the first interaction is cool and preferred if you just want to get to the plotty stuff. And I love plotty stuff way more than small talk or having no idea where the thread is going. Ellana is available to talk all about her culture and learn about your character's in return.
Character's greatest fear? Being tricked by a demon.

Kain Highwind | FFIV/Dissdia 012

[dragoon_pride]

Your Name: Lisa
Contact: vorpal

Character: Kain Highwind
Occupation/Role: Warrior, dragoon, newly became a reaver... he fights things.
A/R/N/M: 21, human, rifter, not mage.
Elevator Pitch: Dragoon warrior type who came through a rift, wants to fight darkness at any chance he gets. To him it's an atonement thing because of awful things he did in the past. He's stubborn and moody, but strongly devoted to the Inquisition. Has zero interest in your politics, so don't even bother. He's done a lot of weird things in other worlds like going to the moon and dying (not at the same time), but he himself is a pretty stern no-nonsense guy (with a bit of sarcasm of course... and a part of him who misses and needs the camaraderie he had in dissidia, especially). He's known for being a backstabber in his canons... whoops?! He's doing his best not to let that happen here.
Where They've Been: He's traveled around a lot by now.
Typical Day: Training all the time all day every day. Hanging out in high places. Sleeps in a drafty and small tower room solely because there's a nice view.
Plot Interests: Anything! He likes to fight and will sign up for anything that gets him out exploring/fighting things. He has a crazy swearing parrot who still occasionally disrupts chantry services and in the future Kain'll also acquire a dracolisk. He's working on his early stage reaver skills, yay, pain is awesome! Helping him move on past Rosa would also be a great plotline to do... it's about time he dealt with that! Also maybe something bringing up his whole backstabby issues somehow (even if it's "something that looks like betrayal" or along those lines like in dissidia canon?)
CR Interests: Everything, he loves to have sparring buddies and fighter types who he can respect, cheerful people to draw him out of his shell are great too, healers to nag him when he gets injured, and he's fond of competition and rivalries too.
Character's greatest fear? MIND CONTROL. BLOOD MAGIC, BRING IT ON.
Anything Else: Yeah he really does come from a world where dwarf porn is a Thing.

Hannah | Eirlys Ancarrow

[ancarrow]

Your Name: Hannah
Contact: viridianwings

Character: Eirlys Ancarrow (Dragon Age OC)
Occupation/Role: Herbalist and healer, crafting and administering potions and poultices, tending to the sick
A/R/N/M: 27/Elf/Fereldan/not a mage
Elevator Pitch: City elf a long way from her alienage. Eirlys is used to keeping to herself, expecting to be treated as badly by humans as she has been all her life. She is kind hearted and values her role as a healer above all else. She had great pride in belonging to the Inquisition, but now she's beginning to question whether they're really benefiting her people or whether their task of restoring order will mean their oppression continues.
Where They've Been: Eirlys is from Gwaren's elven alienage and travelled to the Conclave with her former employer, who was then killed by demons. She stayed at Skyhold for about a month, travelling to the Fallow Mire, before being sent to Redcliffe. She then returned to Gwaren for several months, coming back to Skyhold a little over a month ago. Apart from a brief foray into the Hinterlands for supplies recently, she hasn't really left Skyhold since.
Typical Day: On a typical day she can be found in the courtyard tending to the wounded. She tries to keep away from places like the tavern where she's likely to encounter large groups of rowdy humans. She also spends time at the Andrastian chapel, though she's keeping up her devotions mostly to keep some part of her daily routine and privately she's beginning to question her faith. She spends time in the garden growing flowers and herbs. I haven't really set a place for her to sleep yet, she's still drifting around finding free spaces or sleeping in the healers' tents.
Plot Interests: Anything you're planning or hoping to do with the character plotwise, whether that's specific plots/adventures or a general preference for action, intrigue, etc.
CR Interests: At the moment she wants to learn to read and some self-defense, if either of those are of interest (Isana said that someone should teach her to read using Varric's books and I 100% support this!). I really want her to get closer CR with other elves and to become part of the elven community here at Skyhold. Another thing I really want is for her to learn more about spirits and demons and the Fade, as she's terrified that she somehow summoned the demon that killed her master and led her to join the Inquisition in the first place, so she needs to have explanation and closure on that sooner rather than later. I'd also like for her to connect with fellow Andrastians; her faith is super strong some days but absent almost completely others, and she'd benefit from discussing that with someone. More generally she's available for healing and advising on medicine/public health matters - she wants to track down some more rifters who have a basic understanding of germ theory to learn more about that. She'd also just like some more friends.
Character's greatest fear? The enslavement or slaughter of her alienage. Also demons.
Anything Else:

[faithstarved]

Fellow city elf Andrastian brofist? Andra is not a strong reader but she could also help with that or self defense which she'd be much better at.

[aggregiopavali]

Your Name: Vivien
Contact: kirsteena @ plurk

Character: Fenris (Dragon Age)
Occupation/Role: Warrior/professional wine taster
A/R/N/M: 30s, Elven, Tevene, Definitely not mage
Elevator Pitch: Brooding warrior who fought at Hawke's side in Kirkwall for years, now happily hunting down slavers wherever he can. Has lyrium tattooed into his body, gives him superpowers...
Where They've Been: Originally from Tevinter, he is a former slave who escaped his master, and came to Kirkwall for revenge. Found a decent tavern, ended up staying. Now moved sound to kill slavers as they prey on the weak in the aftermath of the chaos Anders caused. Typical mage.
Typical Day: He crashes somewhere in Skyhold. He can be found training, puttering around, or in the tavern. Or brooding in a corner. That works too.
Plot Interests: Stop him from killing Hiccup and Anders, mostly. He's happy just hanging around. He's learning to read, so he's going to get curious about things very quickly
CR Interests: Fenris can be random - positive CR, negative CR, I never know till he interacts with anyone.
Character's greatest fear? Not being able to kill Andersslavers

[sunshinethroughgrey]

Dear Fenris, now that Bethany is not sick and they are friends, she wants to help you with this whole reading and writing thing. Also hay, let's go get us some Tevinter mages man those guys are assholes.

Michel de Chevin & Fiona

[disgracedchampion]

Your Name: Lazuli or Laz
Contact: BluestStone

Michel

[disgracedchampion]

Character: Michel de Chevin (Dragon Age)
Occupation/Role: Resident Chevalier and agent for the Inquisition.
A/R/N/M: 30-ish, Elf-blooded, Orlesian, Def not a mage.
Elevator Pitch: Michel is a noble and honorable man, perhaps one of the few among the Chevalier who try to be as honorable as possible. He firmly believes in his honor as well given one of the codes of his order is "death before dishonor" so yeah. Michel is also the sort of individual who needs a purpose, he needs something to protect, he needs to use the skills he's worked hard to attain. He was also the Empress Celene's Champion and has been deemed a traitor.
Where They've Been: Where has Michel been? Where hasn't he been within Orlais? He grew up in the slums until he was sponsored by Comte Brevin who falsified his noble origins, he trained at the Academie in Val Royeaux, he served Empress Celene as her Champion, he fought against Gaspard and his men in the "Battle of Halamshiral," when escaping with Celene he was dragged all over the Dales where they ended up in Jader not too far from Ferelden, then underneath Orlais where he was exposed to ancient elven ruins and Eluvians (he hates Eluvians btw), finally he ended up on the outskirts of Val Chevin, and eventually he tracked Imshael all the way to Emprise du Lion...I suspect he's been to many places in Orlais before as well.
Typical Day: He had a small room where he slept and kept his belongings, as for where he could be found--the stables or the training grounds (or in some isolated corner in some random place knitting). Presently he will not be found in Skyhold, he will be available by sending crystal, or if you find your self in the Emprise feel free to look him up.
Plot Interests: I would actually be interested in Michel being put on trial in Orlais for his numerous crimes: betraying Celene for Briala, dissembling in order to become a Chevalier, attacking his "fellow" Chevalier at the soiree, for all of that de Chalons wealth he will be giving to Zevran's baby (since he's not a noble it's not really his, what better way to hide it than simply giving it away?), and let's not forget that demon he let loose (no one will remember that it's dead, they will just remember that it was released by him).

Additionally Michel will not be returning to Skyhold for some time due to takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The only way he will come back is if he catches the news of Zevran's child and if Anders allows it--the two of them are the saltiest right now so if Anders says "no" he'll still be sending Zevran a ton of gold by envoy.

CR Interests: All of the CR.
Character's greatest fear? Losing his honor.

gwenaëlle vauquelin

[trouvaille]

Character: Gwenaëlle Clothilde Decima Vauquelin
Occupation/Role: Civilian, author of a monthly editorial on the Inquisition.
A/R/N/M: 22, human, Orlesian, not a mage.
Elevator Pitch: the unlikeliest shardbearer, Gwen is an Orlesian noblewoman whose areas of expertise are poetry, art critique and mouthing off. She's the spoiled heiress of the Comte Vauquelin, which makes the fact her birth mother was the Comte's elven housekeeper a source of great stress. Her aspiration in the Game is just to have the equivalent of what Lucy Liu calls fuck you money - independence enough to flip them all off and do her own thing.
Where They've Been: Gwen has spent most of her life based in Halamshiral and traveling with the court; in Val Royeaux she stays with the Leblancs, family friends.
Typical Day: She's quartered with the visiting nobles, though because of her shard she's a more permanent guest, and she spends most of her morning cloistered there. In the afternoons and evenings she can be found exploring the hold, seeing what everyone else is doing and speaking with whoever will give her time of say. A lot of her free time is spent keeping out of the way on the battlements.
Plot Interests: Gwenaëlle is going to grow as a person whether she likes it or not. The obvious hooks are her editorial project, and digging into what's going on in Orlais.
CR Interests: I am up for whatever, generally speaking? She's liable to create negative CR easily due to being a fairly standard representation of Orlesian noble opinions - a bit edgy of mages, disdainful of elves, pretty sure all these Fereldans don't bathe enough - but I'd like to specifically develop some positive cr and force her to examine some of these things.
Character's greatest fear? anyone finding out who her mother is.
Anything Else: ha HA now there are gifs.

[fleurdesel]

Character: Adelaide LeBlanc ( Original Native )
Occupation/Role: Spirit Healer, Aequitarian Member of the Inquisition's Mage Council, Poultice/Potion Maker, Teacher
A/R/N/M: 36, Human, Orlesian, Mage
Elevator Pitch: Adelaide is an Orlesian Spirit Healer of a noble family with finite patience for fools, far too many injured to tend to, a small flock of apprentices and mages from The White Spire that have come to the Inquisition from Andoral's Reach along with her to mind, a wry demeanor and a heaping helping of PTSD courtesy of the events of Dragon Age: Asunder. She works hard to heal those that come to her, to write informative articles, to continue the education of her wards, and to keep far from Templars if she can help it all on top of a full schedule. Since Arriving she's become a member of the Inquisition's Mage Council and is struggling with how to handle that in a balanced and civil manner. It is a work in progress. Being of a more moderate viewpoint means playing peacekeeper and urging compromise from both sides of the discussion- it's. Stressful.


Where They've Been: Raised in an Orlesian Noble Estate until her magic came about, Adele studied magic in The White Spire until the events of Dragon Age Asunder. Before that she'd be sent out to heal those that paid for her services with a guard, usually to places in Orlais or small villages in Ferelden, especially after the Blight. After the spire fell she and the remaining mages fled to Andoral's Reach and only recently traveled from there to Skyhold. She has now also been to the Fallow Mire. It was not fun. She has now been through Emprise du Lion. Also not fun.

Typical Day: She does not often deviate from the linked schedule above; but for the most part she can be found in the gardens, the library, or the healing tents.

Plot Interests: Adelaide is researching possessions, abominations, and rifters (the first two in relation to one another, the last separate), any work that can be done on that front has her attention. She's also able to teach the Spirit Healer specialization, is trying to get a feel for what mages of the Inquisition want to make the Council more effective, and generally trying to keep the Inquisition alive. Whether or not the Mage Council has the authority or an obligation to Rifters with magical skills is something else with which she's wrestling.

CR Interests: Six months in Skyhold has done wonders for Adelaide feeling more settled, scraps of her old self are coming to light. Peers to argue with, people to teach, people to learn from, people to debate finer points of magic, people to drink with on stressful nights, people that think she's a terrible person (negative CR would be pretty great), people that are just as done with this Orlesian noble bullshit as she is- etc.

Character's greatest fear? Becoming possessed or an abomination.

TWISTED FATE

[wickedchase]

Character: Twisted Fate (League of Legends)
Occupation/Role: Rogue/Mage blend.
A/R/N/M: 36/Elf/Dalish/Mage
Elevator Pitch: Imagine Gambit from X-Men is suddenly the world's worst Dalish elf. That's him, that's the trash heap.
Where They've Been: A little bit of everywhere. Twisted Fate has been to the Free Marches for most of his life, but he has been to Rivain frequently, Antiva, Orlais, Ferelden, and regretfully he has indeed been to Tevinter.
Typical Day: Twisted Fate is usually egging people to join him in games in the tavern. Lately, he has attempting to research the shard in his hand, but he has been doing so fairly privately. Otherwise, he's in the library, or anywhere Nerva is going to be.
Plot Interests: Right now, I'm open to anything. Twisted Fate has another companion quest coming, but I'm putting that on hold in favor of everyone else's development. Right now, he's interested in learning more about the shard in his hand; if he can't remove it, he wants to know how to use it, and how powerful he can get. Power is awesome, he likes power.
CR Interests: Do you want a trickster to pull a shitty prank on you, do you want someone to cheat you out of your underwear in a game of cards, etc. Twisted Fate is very flexible in terms of CR. He's your friend, your enemy, or your frenemy.
Character's greatest fear? Dying alone and drowning.

Kallian Endris

[kallian_endris]

Character: Kallian Poirefleur Endris (Dragon Age Native OC)
Occupation/Role: Assistant healer, child of a bard, occasionally sings for an audience
A/R/N/M: 23, elf, Fereldan, spirit healer mage

Elevator Pitch: A shy, young apostate spirit healer, Kallian is the daughter of an Orlesian bard (now missing, as she was kidnapped by Tevinter slavers during the Blight) and a Dalish hunter (she's never met him). She has recently been revealed publicly as an apostate spirit healer, and is still very nervous about that fact, unwilling to be alone whenever possible. Those who can sense such things discover that her spirit partner is Hope. She is also being taught some courtly performance art, and practices her singing regularly.

Where They've Been: Denerim, mostly. This is her first time living outside the alienage, though she worked as a shopkeeper's assistant in the marketplace from the time of the Blight onward. Occasionally, she would visit other cities, like Amaranthine or Highever, to pick up shipments or make deliveries. She also recently went to Kirkwall for a mission, the Emprise, and the Hinterlands.

Typical Day: Kallian spends most of her time in and around the healing tents, or in the Warden camp. Otherwise, she can be found the gardens, collecting and tending the herbs there. She likes to spend quiet time in the library as well. She has been erratic recently in terms of where she sleeps, never staying more than a couple nights in a row in the same place, preferring to just curl up in a quiet corner with a blanket with someone she trusts nearby.

Plot Interests: Kallian could use help adjusting to live as a publicly-known mage. She has been very isolated for most of her life, and learning to trust and connect with other people, especially other mages, would be important to and for her. Possibly learning how to love. She's also curious about her Dalish heritage, but knows next to nothing about them and would like to explore that. She would also love to reunite with her family, including the mother she lost to slavers (but is presumably alive out there somewhere) and the father she never met, and any potential half-siblings that might be out there. She is very impressionable right now, and whatever path she ultimately takes as a mage will be heavily shaped by those who influence her most. Vivienne has taken a considerable interest in her and is readying her for a possible position of service in Orlais. She is refining her musical skill, and can use voice teachers and is willing to practice with other musicians. She has recently been publicly revealed as a mage and is interested in learning to be a Rift Mage.

CR Interests: I am good with pretty much anything! Kallian needs a gentler hand, usually, to help draw her out of her shell, but friends are important! People who can help strip away the layers of fear she's wrapped herself in and help her develop confidence in being known as a mage. People she can learn to love. She is especially drawn to Wardens (she hero-worships them after the Hero saved her alienage), companions of the Hero of Ferelden, Orlesians, Dalish, storytellers/bards and fellow mages. Also, people who can train her up in singing and other performances.

Character's greatest fear? Being killed for being an elf mage.

Anything Else:

Simon Tam

[noleechesneeded]

Your Name: Syrup
Contact: PurpleSyrup

Character: Simon Tam (Firefly)
Occupation/Role: Healer type
A/R/N/M: 26, human, Nevarran, mage
Elevator Pitch: Circle mage who just wanted to keep his head down and do some good with his gifts turned apostate blood mage in order to rescue his sister from some Very Bad Men up in Tevinter. Doesn't really tell people that second part.
Where They've Been: Originally from the Cicle in Cumberland, traveled north to the Imperium for about two years and then hauled ass south again to Ferelden, where he and his sister joined the Inquisition in its early days.
Typical Day: Has a cot in his tent with the other healers and can be found there most of the time on any given day, takes meals in the tavern and spends some time in the library too. It's easy to excuse finding him anywhere in Skyhold however, if he's looking for River.
Plot Interests: Nothing specific at the moment, though I'd like for him to get more involved in things in general as well as some day have his secret get out. Maybe dramatically, maybe someone just figures it out, maybe his past catches up to him.
CR Interests: Being a healer makes for an easy in for new CR, and I'm ok with handwaving a previous visit to the tents to get past the 'introductions' part. I'm open to negative CR as well as positive...Simon tends to be prickly and it can lead to uncomfortable first impressions, but the guy really could use more friends to drag him out of hiding.
Character's greatest fear? Being discovered, particularly by the Very Bad Men who hurt River and having them steal her back, but also being discovered as a blood mage by the Inquisition. There's also the usual magey concerns about tranquility and overzealous templars.
Anything Else: i have no idea what i'm doing

[ancarrow]

I'd love for Simon and Eirlys to be friends, they'd probably at least recognise each other from the healing tents

Lacey Harwood

[dressmaking]

Character: Lacey Harwood (The Hunger Games OC)
Occupation/Role: Mostly just a civilian for now, although seeing as she has this glowing green shard thing in her hand that may change soon. This month she's going to stop being such a hermit and start advertising that she does sewing and embroidery for anyone who wants to get her to make something for them.
A/R/N/M: 30/human/rifter from Panem/not mage
Elevator Pitch: Victor of the 60th Hunger Games. Traumatized but pretty good at not making it obvious. Will probably act kind of cool and distant when you first meet her, but underneath she's actually a really nice person. When she's not in the Capitol trying to keep her tributes alive, she's a professional-quality dressmaker.
Where They've Been: In Skyhold since the end of March/Drakonis, learning her way around, chatting up various people, and doing a lot of reading on various subjects. She's still not totally convinced this isn't all some kind of illusion, but she's getting there (and playing along, regardless).
Typical Day: She has a spot in one of the less trafficked parts of the main hold where she's been sleeping and collecting whatever fabric and trim and sewing-related bits she can find. Other than that she's in the library a lot, the gardens, and up on the battlements.
Plot Interests: She's starting to get tired of sitting on her butt, so any plots involving, idk, exploring or just getting out into the world away from Skyhold would be nice. And obviously she has a rift-shard, so that's gonna be something that will have to be discussed eventually. Putting her in a combat situation is not a good idea for a lot of reasons; eventually she may get it into her head that she needs to learn how to control her Hunger Games-related combat panic, but that hasn't happened yet.
CR Interests: Always up for anyone who can teach her more about Thedas. She won't talk about her own world unless asked, just because it's not... exactly a pleasant conversation topic, but if your character does ask she'll tell. Uh, nerding out over sewing is a really easy way to get CR with her.
Character's greatest fear? Getting people killed.
Anything Else:

Hermione Granger

[bookish_lioness]

Your Name: Janet
Contact: StarryOblivion

Character: Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
Occupation/Role: Personal aide to Councilor Adelaide LeBlanc, collector of all the information both useful and otherwise.
A/R/N/M: 19, rifter human, British, witch (which technically makes her a mage except not)
Elevator Pitch: She's a teenage witch who used her book smarts to help save the world from an evil wizard who had trouble staying dead. Now she's doing it all over again in Thedas. Also she cares a lot about elves and about equality and has no problem with loudly educating narrow-minded idiots who feel otherwise (so long as they're not armed to the teeth. Because she doesn't have a death wish).
Where They've Been: Semi-permanent fixture in the library, except for when she's following Adelaide around or finding some secret place to practice her magic without running the risk of hurting anyone.
Typical Day: Wakes up early. Does research in the library. Goes to Adelaide to discuss her research, maybe sit in/participate in a magic class or two. She might sit outside to read for a bit, but she's most likely going back to the library to continue with her mission to read every book there at least thrice.
Plot Interests: For right now, let's just say she's still practicing her magic and slooowly getting better and more confident with it. That means that she's less likely to just sit back and take whatever nonsense people have to spout out about mages or rifters (or especially elves; Maker help you if you badmouth elves in front of her). I also am very, very tentatively trying to work out a plot that will ultimately result in dragon-hunting, since she wants to repair her wand and its core is made of dragon heartstring. So. That may or may not be a thing.
CR Interests: I'd definitely be up for her being argumentative with people, or with practicing magic with people, or even just spending time with people because she thinks they're interesting. She does that sometimes. She actually needs an excuse to get out more, since she's been wasting her youth only working on research and missions and such. Drag her outside for a walk or try to convince her that beer isn't terrible. Or teach her Wicked Grace. She needs fun things to do!
Character's greatest fear? Failure. First she thought it was just as a student, but nope, any kind of failure is a serious Problem for her, especially if it puts lives at risk.
Anything Else:

[audacieuse]

Sooo how about Hermione and Alysanne and mage things? c: If nothing else Alys can help her practice her magic. She used to teach, so she's good at, you know, being instructive.

Your Name: Manda

Character: Cullen Rutherford
Occupation/Role: Commander of the Inquisition's military forces, Advisor
A/R/N/M: 32, HUman, Ferelden, Not a mage
Elevator Pitch: One of your bosses. Advisor, commander of the military, part-time babysitter.
Where They've Been: Cullen was born in Honnleath, a small town in the Arling of Redcliffe. When he was a boy he went to train with the templars and his first post was at Kinloch Hold in Fereldan. Second posting was in Kirkwall up until the rebellion. He then joined with the Inquisiton.
Typical Day: A typical day for Cullen is overseeing and training troops, going over reports in his office, discussing things with the other advisors. and other things.
Plot Interests: Nothing interesting so far. Most will happen later.
CR Interests: I'm fine with having your character know mine, skipping the handwaved 'hi, i'm so and so' things like that. I'm super fine with negative CR as well. But I love everything.
Character's greatest fear? Well...
Anything Else:

Jamie McCrimmon

[wontforgetyou]

Your Name: Beth
Contact: evilgiraffe or PM!
Character: Jamie McCrimmon (Doctor Who)
Occupation/Role: Rifter/Inquisition member/fighter/piper even though there's no such thing here really
A/R/N/M: 25/Human/Scottish/so not a mage
Elevator Pitch: 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. Impulsive, brave, not afraid to make his opinions known, but loyal to his friends and willing to do quite a lot for them.
Where They've Been: So far he has been around Haven, Skyhold, the Fallow Mire, just east of the Emerald Graves, Emprise du Lion, Western Approach and now the Hinterlands.
Typical Day: Still sleeping in the stables for the most part, although he's working on fixing up one of the more broken down rooms with plans on possibly moving in there. Can fall asleep anywhere, however, and if the stables are in use for other reasons he'll go find a chair somewhere if he needs to. Can also be found training or practising on a strange device he calls a practice chanter - and occasionally he'll disappear for a bit to find a nice remote spot to practice his pipes as well. Also can be found in the tavern or trying to convince the cooks in the kitchens to give him a snack, or hanging around Kallian who he is very clearly sweet on but apparently still not great at admitting this to her. Or himself, for that matter.
Plot Interests: Shard-related things, especially finding out he's got shard abilities now, exploring new areas and fighting beasties and simply seeing what happens next.
CR Interests: Action-y CR, friendly CR, negative CR, closing rifts and doing missions - any or all of it is great, although he's not really a political sort of character so unless you want a to play with a really bored and restless Jamie that's a little more limited. I am all for skipping the preliminary intro meetings with people if you want to get to doing other things, and can always be reached on plurk or PM to plot stuff (feel free to add me if you want, too).
Character's greatest fear? That the people he's closest to will get badly hurt or killed and that he's not able to stop it from happening.
Anything Else: I may be on the slow side this month due to something unexpected that's come up RL but I'm hoping to at least do some things if at all possible so here we are.
