Would anyone be interested in participating in a Dragon Age inspired roleplay covering the parts of Thedas not previously seen in the games (Nevarra, Antiva, Rivain, Par Vollen, etc.)

The adventure would be set after the events of Inquisition, but the actual state of the world will be discussed between any interested players before the roleplay begins, and decisions such as who rules Ferelden, whether the Architect is still alive and what happened with the Red Lyrium idol will be set in place at that point.

As GM I'll set up a Dragon Age Keep-style record of the backstory before the roleplay starts so everyone knows the state at that time. All that I'll say for now is that:
The party will consist of a mercenary band recently in the employ of the Inquisition but now with the Corypheus crisis averted they're moving north to find new work. The members of the party can come from any background within the races seen in Thedas (Human, Dwarf, Elf, Kossith, Darkspawn, etc.) and while I won't impose limits on what combination of powers they may have I would prefer that they limit themselves to Skills, Spells, Talents and Abilities previously seen in the Dragon Age universe. Having said that, if you'd like to play as a rogue mage with a greatsword feel free to combine powers from all those available to craft your perfect character, as long as they don't contravene established lore (no Dwarven mages, for instance.)

I'd be looking for committed players able to post at last once every couple of days, and anyone not posting at least once a week would be considered to have fallen into the Deep Roads and been killed by Darkspawn... or at least hopefully killed by them.

I'm interested. However, I haven't played inquisition (PC can't run it nor do I have the next gen consoles) or Dragon Age 2 (I tried but didn't like its gameplay). However, I LOVE DA:O and its world. I am still new to forum rps, though I have rped before via pathfinder and post by post rping for a few years now. So, it'll be a learning experience for this style of rping.

Very interested, would defenitly love to see this go up, Also would there be there be ever a moment if said party needs to actually return to those we do know, like

Example(s):

Skyhold - Aid Request (The Inquisitor requested aid against a eluvious force in Emprise Du Lion that has built it's army up and managed to bar down on the inquisition heavly.

Emerald Graves - Freeman opposition was never settled and they've now conquered nearly all of the Emerald graves, the army of Orlas failed retak it through brute force, and require the help of two different parties.

Storm Coast - Rumor spreads of a group of Qunari have been spotted on the coast, said to have come straight out of Par Vollen, looking for something and to have struck down anyone in their path, so to speak.

These are just some examples, would there ever be anything like this or would it mainly depended and consist on were the RP goes??

Since we're going where no elf has gone before there's no real requirement to know the backstories of the games, other than the general idea that great calamities have recently been averted. In extreme cases you can just ask me directly for anything you're not sure of, or just check out the wiki.

The plan is for the party to basically wander around looking for trouble. I have some plots already planned out, but if the party decides they'd rather head in a different direction I'll be happy to adapt the story for the events, rather than forcing people to stick to a pre-planned script. Mainly I'm looking to get us away from what's already canon, so we can have a little freedom to explore possible stories without tripping over what's already happened.

If there's any ideas you'd particularly like to explore please feel free to PM me with details and we can plan subplots behind everyone else's back. XD

I'd be up for a little dragon hunting. :)

Dragon Age is love, Dragon Age is life. I'll definitely consider participating in a DA RP!

A dragon is for life, not just for Satinalia

For those still interested, I am still planning on running this RP but as other things are taking up my time right now it probably won't be starting for another couple of weeks.

Appearance:

Specialisations: Any combination of those available in the Dragon Age universe. A maximum of five can be selected and at least one of those should be from the same class as your character.
Notable Traits: Does your character have any quirks, mannerisms or habits which make them stand out from the rest of the population of Thedas?
Flaws: Character defects, past injuries or other details which may hamper your character during the adventure, or act as plot hooks for me to work with.
Skills: The main abilities your character tends to rely on the most. The list needn't be exhaustive as all characters with be presumed to be able to perform basic actions automatically.

Relations: Whether your character is associated with any of the others in the party, with any characters, groups, gangs or official organisations of note in Thedas. All characters are assumed to be associated with the mercenary company we're playing as, and have worked with the Inquisition recently, so these needn't be included.
Secrets: Is there anything your character is trying to hide from the rest of the group, or which they themselves are not aware which could affect the party in some way?

As much as I'm interested. I only just got Inquisition, and I'm told the Story is easily 100+ hours if totally blind playthrough, So, I need a lot to do as a gamer who takes his time in rpgs.

But I will keep this in my interest tab.

@Genni

Is that allowed? I know she's covered, but her panties are see through, even if you can see the tattoo on the other side?

Species Qunari Mage Tal Vashoth
[b]Age[/b} 35 years old
Gender: Male
Class Honestly the distinction between warrior and some mages like Hawke is gone. Not even an Arcane Warrior/Knight Enchanter. My character is a large, brutishly strong and mentally much stronger. He fights with a Mage Staff, of course. He fights with the Force, Storm, Creation, his specializations is Shapeshifting.
Appearance:

"If Dorian calls me a handsome Devil or Desire Demon one more time, I'll kill him him. I mean it. With my sword-staff, if I don't cast a thunderspell at his groin. Maybe that would do".

Species Qunari Mage Tal Vashoth

If I were to get picky about it I'd have to say a Tal-Vashoth Mage would have to have had his horns removed while still under the Qun, since they would've been cut off once <NAME NOT FOUND>'s magical abilities were identified and those things don't grow back once removed, the Ben-Hassrath make sure of that.

If <NAME NOT FOUND> still has his horns then...

• ...he'd have developed his magics late enough in life not to have been discovered before he managed to turn rogue,
• ...he was born Vashoth and was never under the Qun before turning rogue,
• ...something went wrong and the agent assigned to make sure his horns were removed failed to sign the right paperwork and forgot to get the job done (in which case they're probably burning over a fire pit being made to read the Qun very, very slowly in a re-education camp¹,)
• ...he's a one-in-a-million freak whose horns managed to regrow despite the Ben-Hassrath's best efforts,
• ...he's wearing fake horns to try and hide his mage-y ways.

In other words, if you want the horns be sure to come up with some fluffy reason why he has them and we're good. :)

@ActRaiserTheReturned He fights with the Force, Storm, Creation, his specializations is Shapeshifting.

Which creatures would <NAME NOT FOUND> be able to turn himself into? Just the Spider, Bear and Bees like Morrigan or some other combination? I'd rather get a specific list sorted out early on since having him be able to change into anything during the game would be a little too powerful.

And before you ask, no you can't choose 'dragon' as one of your creatures.

@ActRaiserTheReturned "If Dorian calls me a handsome Devil or Desire Demon one more time, I'll kill him. I mean it. With my sword-staff. If I don't cast a thunder spell at his groin. Maybe that would do."

Sword-staff would be a better choice, the lightning would only 'wake the dragon' and none of us want to see that right now!


PS. I think you might have missed giving <NAME NOT FOUND> a name, I couldn't find one on his Character Sheet. While under the Qun he wouldn't have had one, presuming he was Qunari at some point that is, now he's Tal-Vashoth he can take any name he wants. Except Mr Fluffybottom, that would be a silly name. :D

...he was born Vashoth and was never under the Qun before turning rogue,

He could have also mastered healing magic to the point of re-growing his horns. We don't see it in-game, but Creation is one of the hardest schools to master.

@ActRaiserTheReturned He could have also mastered healing magic to the point of re-growing his horns.

Or he could've made a deal with a Desire Demon who likes men with big horns.

Playing as a Tal-Vashoth may cause the party some problems if we get to Par Vollen, but that's just extra meat for the Plot Machine so it's all good. :D

Or he used his magical gifts to take control of his Tamassran, forcing her to hide his powers from the Ben-Hassrath.

A Qunari conquest of Skyrim would be hilarious. Everyone's name is Sten. The same as before.

Battle reports would be very difficult to write up...

12:32 - Sten, Sten and Sten assaulted the hill under the command of Sten. they faced off against Sten Stenson, Sten Stensonson and Boris the Mighty (known to his friends as Sten.) The Stens were quickly and brutally massacred and the hill is currently in the hands of the Stens.

- Simply John. . . and mine's conversation.

All we need now is for someone to rewrite the 'Bruce' sketch using 'Sten' instead.

@Genni Just a quick question. Will your character be very talkative, or will she only say "I am Hroot"? :P

This seems quite interesting and I wanted to ask before I put too much merit into this, how high type of writing are you looking for? I am honestly only able to write maybe a paragraph or two given my current skill and schedule

@Saarebas Not too much, I'll probably be running it as a weekly adventure so as long as you can make a decent contribution at least that often it should be fine.
