My character, quickly made up and thrown out there, so feel free to rip it apart and I'm ready to change anything about it [hider=Francesca Tilani] Name: Francesca Tilani Age: 27 Sex: F Race: Human Allegiance: Tevinter Imperium Class/Sub-class: Mage/Spirit Healer Appearance: She wears dark blue and elaborately gilded robes cut and crafted to accentuate her curves. She almost always has her blonde hair immaculate and with several small braids that go just past her shoulders. Her sharp blue eyes often linger on people, studying them intently Abilities: Stonefist – Francesca summons a fist of rock to hurl at her enemy, often knocking them off their feet Arcane Bolt – Most mages can cast this basic spell, which is the most basic manifestation of the face basically thrown at the enemy Heal – Francesca weaves magic to knit flesh and muscle back together Group heal Revival – Francesca can restore a character from the brink of death Blood Magic – Francesca (like many Tevinter mages) knows the basics of blood magic, and can use it to moderate affect as well as identify its use Personality: - Francesca often looks down on weaker mages, but not on non-mages. - Often takes a situation light heartedly, but is always thinking and plotting behind her façade - Knows many social graces of most cultures, most notably Dwarves, Orlais and Ferelden nobility. (this does not include Dalish) - Accepts Slavery as a thing and owns a couple of slaves back in Tevinter, but doesn’t support the Slave trade and would prefer a world without slavery (she keeps Slaves as a status symbol) - Doesn’t support Blood Magic, and will only use it in the direst of circumstances. She learnt it when she was younger and more brash, before she had the opportunity to really see what effect it had on people History: Francesca studied at the Carastes Circle (the best arcane university perhaps in the world) in Tevinter with her sister, Maevaris Tilani. Maevaris, although lacking the same magical power as Francesca, was much more politically suave and quickly moved on to be elected as a Magister, while Francesca stayed a Senior Enchanter. When the war with the Qunari broke out most mages where recruited into the army, while the youngest were moved to other circles. Many Senior enchanters helped escort them across Thedas to safety, including Francesca, often against much opposition of the general populace. Upon reaching Orlais Francesca was summoned back to Tevinter to join a special strike-force to eliminate an Arishok. By the time she got back it seemed the war was going well, the Qunari unable to match the magical skill of the Magisters, as well as the many mercenaries the Magisters had hired. The Qunari Arishok she had been bought back to fight had evaded Tevinter eyes and spies and so she earned a name for herself healing the casualties of war. She was lucky to be stationed at the back lines, first the massive storm ripped apart and sunk the island of Seheron. Most people in the Tevinter army cheered, as surely it must have been some ritual by the most powerful of their order. All those more connected to the fade knew that such power wasn’t centred in Tevinter, and that it was coming this way. It wasn’t long after that the Darkspawn attacked, crushing the Tevinter army and sending the remainder fleeing. Francesca led a large group of now refugees to Orlais, where she has been waiting to hear word from her sister. Because of her reputation she has gained the attention of the Grey Wardens, who have summoned her to join a small group of warriors, rogues and mages on a special mission [/hider]
