A) Scullery maid is the lowest of the low. The chantry accepts almost anyone as a Lay Sister. My original intention was for her to serve under an Orlesian Arl, but clearly my character isn't old enough for that. I will change it so that she will be 36 instead of 27
Fair enough, I just thought her low status might have given you some more depth to work with.

A) Due to the rebellion (which is Ferelden gaining independence lead by King Maric Theiren) diplomatic relations with Ferelden may not have allowed armed Templars to enter Ferelden (even at the Chantry's behest). The reason nobody found out my character was a Mage was because she herself had no idea. It took a demon for her to remember. However once the Rebellion had been won the Templars came and attacked her. As for when she beat them they didn't attack her again, I'm uncertain. She could be protected in the Alienage by the other elves but there is some time before that where she was vulnerable.
I don't know what impact the conflict had on the Chantry/Templars entering Ferelden to be honest. But even if you're right then how did your character meet and marry a templar? The bigger question I feel compelled to ask is: how did your character forget she was a mage? If you add some more detail to these points it might make it easier for us to understand.

Fat Boy Kyle: Umm, would it be okay if my character uses his sword as a backup in case he ever runs out of mana/looses his staff?
Mages can have swords/blades as secondary weapons but unless, like Lucius, your character is an Arcane Warrior or it's a vital vital part of your story then your character shouldn't be very skilled with it and shouldn't often use it. Also as this is an RP you don't need to worry about running out of mana as such, but more think about your characters own limitations and them getting worn out from exertion.

I just imagine it's easier to fight with a stick then a sword, probably why Donatello having spent the least time training in marital skills uses one. A sword takes years to learn to uses properly. But I'd think a swords allot better than using a knife. (not that fighting with stave is all that simple.)On that note I'm probably going to add throwing axes to my characters arsenal if that's ok.
Good point. And as for throwing axes you can add them but don't make your character some amazing axe throwing marksman obviously and consider how many axes she could reasonably carry.

Well, I have to go do some stuff for University now, sorry, I'll finish this latter. And if the character seems a bit confusing, don't worry I'll explain it when I finish the bio.@GrievousKhan: Absolutely, and you are right and I have a reason for my character having a -rudimentary- knowledge of swordplay which will be explained in the story.
Accepted. There's a couple of spelling mistakes and some sentences could be neater; however there's certainly nothing major and I'm guilty of the same offences!

That does bring up the question of how are you going to decide whether or not someone lives after the joining? A coin toss, a simple yay or nay, or some other way of deciding?

I believe he will go with the time honored tradition of going to New Zealand and finding two hobbits kidnapping them and naming one Live and the other Die. He shall then give them each a rusty spoon and telling them kill the other and you shall be freeded. Whoever lives decides if you survive the joining or not. Then again that is not the most practical option is it?
Well that's actually where I've been the last couple of days but unfortunately most seem to have already kidnapped by Peter Jackson. I did try to barter with him but he refused, claiming that I 'look too much like Golem' for him to trust me. Instead of this honoured tradition I'm afraid I'll have to have my character decide who is strong enough to undertake the joining based off of what he sees and then either sacrifice one or two consenting player's characters OR roll a dice. It's a bit harsh I know, but people always die in the joining and I won't force any players to have their characters go through joining anyway.

Well, since it seems my DA roleplay isn't developing much interest I'd like to give my attention to one that's in the same universe as mine. I will get a character sheet up shortly as the second watered down warrior, aka a rogue. Most likely as a Shadow.
Your CS is a bit short... but sweet. I'd rather you not have red steel stuff yet and your grammar could use some tidying up; fix this before I accept you.

Uh, I read a very very brief summary of things on Wikipedia about this game. Am I OK anyway?
Honestly it would be a lot better if you had played this game. If you're willing to check the wiki to keep things cannon then it might not be too much of an issue (as after all this is set before the games). We have technically reached the character limit but if you would like to make a rogue you can.
I'll post the OOC and the CS list in a short while. Unless you've already posted in this thread at one point, CS submission is now closed. Please try to sort out CS stuff in this thread rather than the OOC.
