Dragon Age: The Forgotten Wardens

[Unionhack]

I'll reserve a spot. Uno's character..why did you let that happen to the lore?

Yeah, I was just being nice. Rest assured, mostly all of what her character said and did won't be counted.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Name: Colette Fontaine
Gender: Female
Race (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Qu'nari if you want to): Human
Class (Warrior, Rogue, Mage): Rogue
Class Specializations (Up to Three):

Background: Raised in Orlais, Colette was the daughter of a minor noble, Charles Fontaine, until Charles was convicted of embezzlement. He was going to be put away for the rest of his life, but managed to secure passage out of Orlais and joined the Grey Wardens to prevent capture. Colette was only eleven when that happened, and she was an only child to a single father. The people did not treat her kindly; she was forced out on the street within days. Nobody would help her. Colette became a petty thief, stealing traders’ bread and drinking well water, until the city she lived in tightened its security and the guard almost caught her on several occasions. She decided to leave, at thirteen, and catch a trade caravan to Ferelden; Denerim. The organized thieving organizations there had her outmatched, and she all but gave up when a woman, Sanga, found her in the streets and took her into the Pearl. Colette made a new living as a prostitute, selling her body since she was barely a teenager. Sanga, however, never allowed her to become rich. In fact, she was all but a slave to Sanga, who held the fact that she saved Colette’s life over the girl for six long years. When she was 19, she learned that her father died in Ostagar. Colette escaped The Pearl and has vowed to avenge her father: be it Loghain, the Darkspawn, or the Grey Wardens who killed him. She has occasionally needed to defend herself while working at The Pearl, so she can wield a dagger proficiently. Perhaps her best feature is remaining silent and unnoticed. Colette believes she has dirt on every noble in the city of Denerim, because she listens in to every conversation in The Pearl. Feet like a mouse, ears like a hawk.

Personality (Also optional; see Background.): Colette is a curious mixture of shy and fearless. She fears no man, unless they hold a blade to her. She acts as if all people are her equals, because of her history she sees no reason to show respect to those above her. She’s afraid of monsters and darkspawn, but is willing to fight them to avenge her father. She is normally quiet, preferring to observe, rather than take part in. She is used to men treating her roughly, as time passed she stopped feeling pain when it was administered. She’s also a good actor, able to pretend she likes someone when she actually despises them. This was especially useful in bed. In addition, she often lies about her past or other things about her, wanting people to think highly of her. She has the typical "I"m young and immortal" complex, and doesn't know what it is like on the battlefield.

Appearance (this can be described, shown as a picture, or both): Porcelain-white skin, large brown eyes, and straight falling black hair that curls slightly when it reaches her shoulders. She’s small and petite.

Weapons/Armor/Clothing/Misc Items: Boiled leather in patches around a torn purple dress (Ripped and sewn around the legs). A rusty steel dagger is her only possession.

[Eltee]

Name: Hali MacKygan
Gender: F
Race: Human
Class: Warrior
Background: Hali was born the second-youngest daughter of a Gwaren noble. She grew up in the shadow of her oder siblings, three strong warriors, and her younger sister, a prim and perfect, spoiled 'Lady.' Her father was one of Loghain MacTir's closest friends and allies during the Rebellion against Orlais, and she inherited both a hate for Orlais and a love of her country... And of adventure. While her younger sister spun and weaved and danced, she trained in armour and blade and shield alongside her brothers. Following her heart and stories, she left Gwaren and sought out the Grey Wardens, the guardians of peace and life across all of the known world. She has proven herself a capable warrior, but she has yet to see much real combat. She hopes her childhood spent training and exploring the wilds of Korcari south of her family's estate have given her the skill and disposition to show herself to be a true Warden. She linked up with a group of other Wardens on their way to Ostagar, and ably demonstrated her tremendous martial capability before being forced to shelter. In the uncertainty and passion of the battle, she became romantically involved with the now-blinded ranger Gideon, though she is beginning to experience doubts. She still firmly believes in her Teryn, believes that he would never act as he had unless there was no other alternative.
Personality: Hali is light-hearted and easy going, as long as no-one slights her, her family of the honour of her beloved Teryn MacTir. She hates Orlesians. She remembers her father's tales of the deaths of his parents, his brothers and his sister, Hali's grandparents, uncles and aunts, at the hands of the Chevaliers. She is blunt and straightforward, honest and true. She is a terrible liar. Despite the fact that she grew up in a fairly racist family, her closest friend when she was a child was an Elven girl her own age from Gwaren's alienage. She harbours no ill will for Elves, minor distrust of Dwarves, and an ill-concealed fear of the Qunari.
Appearance: Hali hardly cuts the usual womanish figure, standing a tall 5'11. She has a perpetually happy, pretty face, and black hair that could be beautiful if she didn't insist on cutting it utterly carelessly. It is messy and lopsided, but it somehow adds to her chaotic, rugged beauty. She has pale skin characteristic of the cold, damp south, and a sharp, impish chin that had led to countless childhood teases that she was the daughter of an Elven mistress. She has mossy, happy dark green eyes flecked with streaks of muddy brown.
Weapons/Armour: Hali uses rugged, simple Grey Iron chain-mail armour, with a faded white surcoat bearing the emerald dragon of Gwaren. She has a stout oak shield, that is likewise emblazoned with the dragon of her city. Her prized possession is a white steel Orlesian blade her father claimed in the war from an Orlesian lordling he personally slew during Gwaren's siege. It has the word 'Fier' engraved on the hilt in looping cursive, which she learned meant 'Proud' in Orlesian. She also possesses a notched, well-used dagger.
Fighting Style: Hali is a naturally talented fighter, possessing wiry strength, speed and flexibility required in a swordsman. She is sometimes too impatient, but her energy and endurance usually allows her to outlast enemies.

Spoiler:

I swear, Matt, I didn't make this character just to be your mortal enemy

[Unionhack]

Don't forget the stats, Eltee c:

Oh gawd, Matt. Now Arathir has someone new to hit on. XD

[Eltee]

Gotcha.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Why can't we ever be friends Eltee?

[Unionhack]

You're both accepted, guys.

[Eltee]

@Hack Sweet!

@Maddy Because a) het is ew and b) evil is awesome.

[Unionhack]

Are you guys all okay with the Cousland Warden?

[Eltee]

Personally, I think that the Cousland Warden will be OK. Though there will be conflict with Hali of they ever meet. </3

If I were to choose the ideal Warden, I'd say City Elf.

I will restate, though: Cousland is fine with me.

I agree with this post.

Where will Dane be?

[Br3admax]

I like the Human Noble the best so yes I'm fine.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Where will Dane be?

Adopted by Colette!

[Unionhack]

So we're all good with Erik Cousland? Alright.
He'll be making some predetermined decisions, but rest assured that we'll have a hand in making some of them too.

[Eltee]

Schveet.

[Unionhack]

Once I get PMs back from TSO and Savillius, I'll talk about a starting date.

Before that, though. Important question for our non-Grey Wardens. How do you guys want to be introduced? Want to be part of the group that gets the Wardens out of the cave? Encountered on the road somewhere? Any particular place? I'll try to adjust which places are visited so that we can pick everyone up as quickly as possible. We will be visiting Denerim early on.

[Br3admax]

Since I'm a Force Mage, I think there is only one logical choice where I should start.

[Unionhack]

You could possibly be in Denerim for something xD My intended route is Ostagar - Ruins of Lothering on the way to - Denerim, then freestyle it from there. So I'm not sure how long you'll have to wait if you're at yonder tower.
I kinda wish this was a little easier, but that's a sequel for ya. xD

[Br3admax]

Nah, I wanna help move rocks and save the Wardens. Can I do that?

[Unionhack]

Sure can. :D

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Colette is coming to kill you.

[Eltee]

*jumps up and down*

After Lothering, could we take a ship to Denerim? I am looking for an excuse to go to Gwaren.

[Unionhack]

Maybe. Once Arathir finds out about Alistair's survival, he's going to be trying his hardest to find the other Wardens. But maybe we could have a bit of a detour. I want to involve ourselves in the civil war more than Alistair's group.
