Champions of Thedas - Dragon Age RP

[Saarebas]

@SimplyJohn Okay, I just don't want to hinder any of you. I'm not an advanced RPer, never even ventured into the advanced forms XD I will write up a CS right away

[SimplyJohn]

@Saarebas I'll just be running this RP as a Casual affair, otherwise people may get a little edgy having to produce large blocks of quality writing on a short notice.

As for a CS, copy @Genni, she nailed it. :D

[Saarebas]

@SimplyJohn Will do boss :)

[SimplyJohn]

@Saarebas The correct term is Guv', but Boss will do in a pinch. Or if you're a 'Vint transvestite.

I'll give a tenative interest however I am currently running about five roleplays myself right now so take my interest as you will.

I intend to make my character a survivor from the Kirkwall Incident. I'd prefer a mage but I can work other ways.

[SimplyJohn]

@vancexentan No problem there, I'm also busy with other things at the moment so it'll be a while before the RP launches. Feel free to have fun drawing up a Character Sheet in the meantime though, @Genni managed to give everyone a very good example of what I'd like to see. :)

@SimplyJohnWell I need to know the choice Hawke made in this timeline. Can't have Kirkwall without it's champion.

@vancexentan

Luckily she and Isabela met up with Leliana, Josephine and the Inquisitor at Weisshaupt after the whole Corypheus mess was sorted out. Apparently the girls all had a very good time together, but unfortunately a large vat of fresh cream, three suits of leather armour, two hundred red roses (thorns still attached) and a riding crop were ruined during their stay.

[vancexentan]

Not to sound sarcastic or rude but is that actually true in this timeline or are you just joking?

[vancexentan]

Also I'm talking about did Hawke help or hinder the mages at Kirkwall. What (S)he did at Kirkwall drastically changes my character's backstory.

[SimplyJohn]

I'll be looking to nail down the timeline details once we have enough players on-board for a decent party. All that I'll say for now is that

• the male Hero of Fereldan...
  • ...survived and left Thedas in the company of a pregnant Morrigan,
  • ...allowed Branka to work the Anvil of the Void, producing new Golems for the dwarves in Orzammar,
  • ...helped Alistair become King of Fereldan by arranging a marriage between him and Anora, recruiting the traitor Loghain as a Grey Warden in the process,
• a female rogue Hawke...
  • ...worked with smugglers for a year on arriving at Kirkwall, and established many connections within their ranks during this time,
  • ...helped a Ben-Hassrath agent named Tallis recover papers from a Tal-Vashoth named Salit,
  • ...supported the Mages in Kirkwall,
  • ...fought alongside Anders at the Gallows, but afterwards told him to leave the Free Marches before the Chantry hunted Anders down for his crimes,
  • ...left Kirkwall in the company of her lover Isabela before the Templars could capture him, and has been in hiding until summoned to Skyhold by Varric,
  • ...and after her life was saved by Loghain sacrificed himself in the Fade was last reported heading for Weisshaupt to confer with the Grey Wardens and meet up with Isabela.
• a female Qunari Inquisitor...
  • ...broke a potential alliance with the Qunari in order to save the lives of her friends.
  • ...romanced Josephine Montilyet and helped her restore her family's fortunes.

@vancexentan Since your character is likely to have been affected by the events in Kirkwall the most, I'm more than happy to hear their account of what they saw there.

By the way, try not to take most of what @Genni says OOC seriously, most of the time you can guarantee she'll be joking. :)

PS. I'm just in the process of watching Naruto Shippuden and your avatar and signature just gave away a huge spoiler, so thanks for that. :P

[CAS1006]

Not to be rude. But the whole "Censored" Parts don't help others connect or establish the full picture and can act as a turn off in terms of a more than capable rp.

Like, if you sided with the Templars, players or participants are not going to chastise you for it, but will for lack of information.

[vancexentan]

While in Kirkwall he grew to have a natural distaste and distrust of Qunari, Elves, and bandits of all shades and values. He viewed the Knight Commander as a tyrant but understood what she was trying to do. He didn't support blood magic even under the direst of circumstances and despises it. He didn't support breaking free of the templars either seeing them as a necessary evil in order to keep demons from infesting weaker willed magi. He wasn't overly fond of dwarves in the city but he found most of them harmless enough except for the Carta in which he found repulsive. During the Qunari breakdown in Kirkwall he helped the younger and less powerful members of the mage circle by using his powerful fire magic to kill a qunari Sten and a whole two squads of qunari with only minor help from his allies. After the annulment was ordered in Kirkwall he was near the edge of the city. A templar whom knew him well allowed him to get out of the city using a merchant's boat but not before he had to slaughter a rage and desire demon with said Templar's help. Though he hated to leave the place he called home to whatever fate it deserved along with his fellow mages he knew he couldn't do much to help less he died with them. He fled to Gwaren and from there to the free marches where he lived with a relative for a short period of time with a family friend before arriving at wherever this roleplay will start.

Edit: Well I apologize for spoiling it but there's no helping it now and the manga has been out for a few months now.

[SimplyJohn]

@CAS1006 Those details have yet to be confirmed, in other words I'm waiting until we have more party members who may be affected by the events before finalising any decision on them.

[Genni]

@McHaggis Could be a useful character to have around if we're travelling the northern continent, but why would he be part of a mercenary company?

[Genni]

Hate to get all lore-y on you and point out that Imperial Templars don't use lyrium and can't disrupt magic,¹ but I don't think @SimplyJohn's too bothered about limiting character's abilities because of lore. The only mention he made was to say no dwarf mages, but that doesn't really apply here at all, since Templar abilities aren't exactly magical.

You might want to change his backstory a little to explain how he was exposed to lyrium while gathering it for a magister who thought his half-dwarf heritage would protect him from it, or some such reason. You could also add in that he specifically sought out an Andrastian Chantry Templar who taught him the magic disruption abilities for the sole purpose of killing Sulpicia's husband, in exchange for a share of lyrium smuggled out of Tevinter, just to keep things canon-y. :)

• As vehemently as he denies taking part in any sort of politics, he is aware of The Grand Game of Orlais as Tevinter has something... similar. Just with more slaves and necromancy and abominations.

@McHaggis

And blood magic, can't be forgetting that.

Overall you have a nicely rounded character, with a few rough edges to polish off but nothing which would make him unusable. :)
