I have pretty much nil ^^'

**Rifter** Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:32 pm

Back from dinner. Hard shell tacos really aren't filling...

As for a character, I'll have read (which I'll do now) and probably do a little research.

**Jak** Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:34 pm

Hooray *insert derp smile*

**Rifter** Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:36 pm

Herppity derppity. XD

**Jak** Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:41 pm

I'm loving both Cadros and Saeran. Saeran is my Woobie and Cadros is my Stoic Woobie/Not So Stoic, though the latter doesn't show up until later

**Rifter** Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:55 pm

Huh... Currently considering making a Force Mage; it seems interesting.

**Jak** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:01 pm

With mages you have to be careful: They usually are either in The Circle since a young age(or since birth) and forbidden to leave, or they are called 'Apostate' and hunted down by Templars. Mages find few non-mage allies, and many Fereldens wouldn't think twice about turning in an Apostate for reward money.

For mages outside The Circle I suggest reading about Anders from Dragon Age 2 for an idea of how to make it work, otherwise the only way they would be safe is if they were a Grey Warden

**Rifter** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:07 pm

Noted.

**Jak** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:07 pm

Got any ideas for them?

**Rifter** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:25 pm

For simplicity's sake, I think I'm going to go with a Grey Warden Mage (I did read up on The Joining) that was born into The Circle and currently considering going with Elf for a race (still need to read up on that). Everything else will come.

**Jak** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:30 pm

Cool. Also, if you'd like, you could say he just recently joined. That way it would make sense for them not to know everything a Grey Warden can and must do

**Rifter** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:31 pm

I was actually considering that.

**Jak** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:33 pm

Cadros would be an excellent teacher... so long as the student comes to him XD He rarely explains things without being asked

Rynn Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:41 pm

So are there only force mages? Or are there other types of mages? And what tips and notes can you give me on making a mage character for this roleplay?

**Rifter** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:45 pm

Here Rach: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Mage_(Dragon_Age_II)

Rynn Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:46 pm

Derp, thanks xD

**Jak** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:47 pm

Yeah, Dan's link is best. Otherwise, just keep in mind Andrastians and Templars and how both will react to your character

**Rifter** Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:48 pm

No problem.

**Rifter** Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:03 am

Hey Steph? What would be a decent origin for a Dalish Elf?

**Jak** Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:10 am

There's only one clan in Ferelden and they live in the Brecilian Forest. If you are a mage you were likely The First to your Keeper, The First being The Keepers student and successor. If this is the case then they will have known Saeran before he was taken because he was originally The First to The Keeper before being taken.

The First also spends most if not all of their time with The Keeper. With a Dalish it is the norm for them to say old elvish greetings and curses, but they don't replace random words with old elvish, Adahl is not used when referring to a tree. Also, Dalish despise humans. They will work with them if they must, but will do so with much contempt and rudeness.

Anything else you'd like to know?

**Rifter** Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:16 am

Origins for city elves?

**Rifter** Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:22 am

That was born into The Circle? A list will do.

**Jak** Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:25 am

City Elves are forced to live in a slums area called The Alienage. They barely have enough coin(gold) to feed themselves, humans leave all the dangerous work to them, and they are treated like scum by most. But, they are a close community. Everybody knows everybody.

Sadly, since Elves risk going extinct, when they come of age they are put into an arranged marriage with a suitor from another towns Alienage. Though they can't marry for love these unions usually end happily enough, but with the suitor being from another town or city it means one must leave their home to go to the other.

On another note: Elves are like rabbits when it comes to breeding(according to Fenris). They are faithful, with few exceptions, but can have up to five children with their lover, maybe more

What do you mean?

**Rifter** Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:31 am

I was thinking a list of places where they came from (I'm going for the literal meaning of 'origin') but I have a different idea.
