I'll go ahead and post mine.
Name: Arathir Delphias Gender: Male Race: Human Class: Rogue Class Specializations: Bard, Duelist Background: Arathir was a street urchin of Denerim who discovered that he had quite a silver tongue, and that his skill in coercion helped him get much of what he wanted and what he needed to survive.
Using these skills, he became a bard, playing for money in taverns across Ferelden, getting into a myriad of fights but always coming out on top with his sword-and-dagger style. After a while, he got into a fight with a Noble's son, and was sentenced to death after accidentally killing the man. Before his death came to him, a Grey Warden arrived and invoked the right of conscription. Arathir was made into a Grey Warden the next week, and has served them as a morale booster and a figurehead of morale in small groups ever since. Personality: Arathir is slow to take anything very seriously. He relies on his good looks and quick tongue to get himself out of many situations, and he sees himself as wily; as he rightfully should. He tries to get as many people to like him as possible; more friends in more places mean less enemies in less places; and when he meets someone who considers him an annoyance, he takes to an attitude of sarcasm. Appearance: Arathir stands at 5'11", with long, sleek black hair. One of his unique attributes is his heterochromia; he has one blue eye and one brown. He is of a lean build, and doesn't look very menacing physically; of course, brute strength is not his preferred style anyway. He has light, fair skin. Weapons/Armor: One echanted Fereldian Sword made of Silverite with sparks of lightning emitting from it when drawn, and a dagger made of silverite.
He wears a leather coat with leather armor underneath, with a long cloak and a traveler's hat with a feather in it. He is very attached to this hat, and hates the very thought of losing it. Fighting Style: One sword, one dagger. He is very acrobatic in his moves and takes a defensive approach to enemies, since he is not the most durable person. He prefers inspiring his companions, allowing them to take the frontal assault while he flanks and plagues the enemies with surprise attacks and the like.

Have I ever mentioned that I hate when it is obvious that mages are mages. That is why want my character to not look like a mage. Also part of the reason I like to play Warrior/Mage mixed classes.
I bet Gideon Moonshadow was a pirate.

I want to join this one!
Before I enter my character sheet I must ask on to what I can get away with. Can we create some new hidden magic and magic schools? ((since Shapeshifter and Arcane Warrior are among some of the rare, unspoken ones)) And will you allow my character to make small enchantments not totally reserved to just runes?

I suppose it wouldn't hurt. A little uniqueness if fine (My character has heterochromia XD) Just don't take it to the extremes and stuff. Go ahead and make your sheet and I'll check.

Spoiler:
Character Sheet;
Name: Leileena
Gender: Female
Race Elf
Class: Mage
Class Specializations (Up to Two): Keeper, Lyrius
Background: Leileena has a very interesting history that none would believe unless they saw her abilities for themselves. Born to an exiled Dalish elven mother known as Aereintea, she was raised in extreme secret with help from a mysterious male human apostate. Before Aereintea’s exile, she was First to Keeper Eugarium from the Vlex’ahm tribe. She was also his love and eventually one night Leileena was seeded. However very early in the pregnancy, Aereintea had a vision, in dream she was approached by this hooded male apostate who told her that her daughter was very special and would be a link to lost history and magic, and would be unique even among her own kind. When Aereintea spoke to Keeper Eugarium about her vision, he scoffed at her and accused her of betrayel and lies then exiled her. While pregnant with Leileena, Aereintea would get extremely weird cravings and was compelled to make several strange potions using a mixture of Lyrium and other strange herbs. The mysterious human apostate came to her two weeks before she gave birth and claimed to be a Grey Warden from Weisshaupt. He too had a vision from a source he wouldn’t say, but said that the being that approached him had a cure for the taint, one forgotten, that could only be used by a Grey Warden. It would allow the Grey Warden to still sense Darkspawn but the Grey Warden would live out to an old age. The mysterious man said that it would involve Aereintea’s unborn daughter and that’s why he had approached Aereintea. Aereintea, being dalish, was naturally distrustful of this human but she had no choice but to trust him.
Leileena was born with golden eyes and hair the color of Lyrium. For whatever strange reason, Lyrium seemed to form, in small amounts, in her very blood. It took a combined effort for Aereintea and the hooded man known only as ‘Kel’ to raise her and keep her safe from the demons that were heavily attracted to her, almost if she were a dreamer. As she got over, both her parents (this means Kel) were flabbergausted to learn that she could enter the fade at will. While Aereintea taught her the skills to become a Keeper, Leileena also formed a new school that mixed healing elements found in the schools of creation yet with the strength of the Spirit Healer School. Though this new school, known as Lyrius, consumed massive amounts of magic, it also allowed her ‘visions’ which she could only explain as books she has never seen before. With these visions she taught herself how to make her own clothes and fabric, as well as enchant the very fabric without use of runecrafting, though it was never as powerful as if you were to place runes directly in. If she wanted to have a strong enchantment, she would have to continue to put her magic essence over a long length of time.
Because of her unique look and equally unique magic, her parents found it extremely hard to keep Leileena secret from the Templars. One day Kel had to leave, but told Leileena that when she came of age she had to go join the Grey Wardens of Ferelden, and she was to travel to Ostagar to do so. One day while out picking berries and forest fruits, Leileena suddenly got a dreadful feeling. When she returned to the cave that had been her home since she was born, she found her mother, dead at the hands of some Templars. This made her angry and in her rage, she exposed her powers and sent a powerful lighting ball to the Templars which broke through their lyrium enchanted bodies. This was also the day she discovered she could sense Templars from the lyrium in their veins, but only at very close proximity.
Because there was nothing else for her at home; she buried her mother and planted a tree over her, while packing her things and a cape then took a long trip to Ostagar.
Personality (Also optional; see Background.): Leileena is anti-social and not good with talking or understanding people. The only two people she knew was the mysterious apostate Kel and her now dead mother Aereintea.
Appearance: Pale skin, golden eyes, and Lyrium colored hair which appears as a white silverfish blue.
Weapons/Armor: She wears clothe and dresses that she enchants and makes herself. She holds a small staff given to her for her 18th birthday from her mother, just 2 weeks before Templars killed her.
Favored School(s) of Magic (Mages only): Primal, primarily Lightning and Earth magic, but to a lesser extent Frost and Fire.
Fighting Style: Leileena prefers to use primal magic as it uses less magic, but if facing a big group on her own, she uses her lyrius magic to place a heal-over-time spell before making a distance between the enemies and herself and then rooting herself using the Keeper school to use roots to slay her enemies. She will more likely play keep away and will only use fire and ice spells if there is no other choice for her to stay away. Her Lyrius school allows her to heal herself or others and is easier to use than the creation heal spell but uses more magic.

Now that I'm reading this, I'm not so sure. Last I checked, when a mage comes into contact with raw lyrium, it can have extremely averse effects and what not.
Entering the fade by one's own will is a bit much too.
I have no problems with it if she's not completely overpowered, I suppose. But I'd like to know what the others think first.

Alright I didn't know what you would think and I didn't want to make things overpowered. I actually drew inspiration from Fenris, who is overpowered and has lyrium infused skin and can stick his hands inside people to kill them. But Leileena's mother had consumed Lyrium while pregnant and simalar to the ending of Origins if you choose Morrigan's ritual, as a baby Leileena wasn't killed by the poison. Since she was still developing just like moriggans dead god child.

Fenris was the single worst written character in Bioware history IMO, but that's just me.
I suppose it's alright. Just try to keep her abilities on the down low, I suppose.

Like I said they use ALOT of magic. So she can't use them at all frequently and she constantly has to keep a small source of lyrium potions.
