Not guarded, per se, but whereas some will have an easy smile and a welcoming look, Cadarn is much more subdued. He suffices with a small smile and chuckle where others would grin and laugh. He's not hostile to anyone who approaches, and is willing to engage in almost any conversation they desire, but he is not emotional nor energetic when speaking. He's not very animated, minimizing unnecessary movements and preferring to stand still. When not speaking, he tends to fade into the background of conversations. His eyes are almost constantly on the look out for trouble of any sort. Nonetheless, when engaged in conversation he gives his full attention to whomever he is talking too, unless the situation calls for him to be on guard. A hand is almost always on one of his weapons, ready to pull and strike in an instant.[/color][/indent][/indent][hr][sup][sub][h2]| [color=firebrick]๐‚ ๐‡ ๐€ ๐‘ ๐€ ๐‚ ๐“ ๐„ ๐‘ ๐ˆ ๐ ๐ ๐„ ๐‘ ๐– ๐Ž ๐‘ ๐Š ๐ˆ ๐ ๐† ๐’[/color] |[/h2][/sub][/sup] [indent][indent]๐Œ๐Ž๐“๐ˆ๐•๐€๐“๐ˆ๐Ž๐๐’ [color=firebrick]| [/color] [color=gray]Cadarn is driven by the need to serve. It is as natural to him as breathing and he is at his best when he is given an objective and a purpose, which the Grey Wardens have provided both of. He is but a tool for the prevention and eradication of the Blight and the evils of the world, and he will protect his allies and the innocent from those who would prey upon them.

[*][i]Loyal[/i]: You can always count on Cadarn, no matter what. [*][i]Team-orientated[/i]: Cadarn always puts his allies before himself. He protects them in battle, checks on them during travel and camp, and ensures they are okay. [/list][/color]๐…๐‹๐€๐–๐’ [color=firebrick]| [/color] [color=gray][list][*][i]Emotionless[/i]: Cadarn is a reserved person, to the point where he has trouble expressing himself. This was very useful when he was a simple bodyguard and supposed to be quiet and in the background. Now, it can lead to friction between himself and others as he simply reacts to everything with the same calm and neutrality. He has been called, both jokingly and insultingly, a Dwarven Tranquil. [*][i]Subservient[/i]: Cadarn is not a leader. He is a follower. He is very good at what he does, and does not need someone to tell him what to do at every decision before him, but it is in Cadarn's nature to follow. He'll obey whomever happens to be the highest ranking Warden or whomever makes themselves leader without a second thought, and never push his own opinions about decisions on what to do. He simply does what he's told. [*][i]Self-Sacrificing[/i]: Cadarn will put others above his own needs every time, often to his own detriment. He'll pretend that his own injuries are not as bad to give others more medical attention, he'll take extra watches so other can rest, etc etc. If someone in the group asks him for something, even if it would make his journey or night harder, Cadarn will give it without a second thought. He'll give his rations, take on extra packs so others can travel lighers, almost anything asked of him.[/list][/color]๐•๐ˆ๐‚๐„๐’ [color=firebrick]| [/color] [color=gray][list][*][i]Gambling[/i]: Cadarn, perhaps using it as a way to let go of his discipline, loves to gamble [*][i]Vengeance[/i]: The only time Cadarn's stoicism and discipline break is when he is enacting vengeance. Currently, this means that he'll sadistically murder any Darkspawn survivors and takes unnecessary pleasure in their murder.[/list][/color]๐…๐ˆ๐๐€๐‹ ๐“๐‘๐”๐“๐‡ [color=firebrick]| [/color] [color=gray]Loyalty. Loyalty means everything to Cadarn. To have Cadarn as an ally or a subordinate is to know that without a doubt he will never betray you, and that he will do whatever is asked off him. It is the single trait that he values the most. Without it, nothing else matters.

His natural magic resistance and lifetime of martial training made him take to the training with a natural ease. The Chantry insisted upon him receiving the theological training of templars as well, which he paid only lip service too. Cadarn's Templar skills reflect his focus on protecting and aiding his allies and his combating of enemy magic users, be they demons or humanoid. He can bless the weapons of his allies to strike harder against foes, purge the area around him of any magical effects, prevent enemy mages from casting, shield his allies from elemental damage, and can resist the mind bending powers of mages or demons. Except for the last part, all of his powers are dependent upon his lyrium dosages of course.[/indent][/color] ๐“๐€๐‹๐„๐๐“๐’ [color=firebrick]| [/color] [color=firebrick][b]Armor Talent[/b][/color] [color=gray][indent]Novice [color=firebrick]โ–บ[/color] Journeyman [hider=Description]You can wear plate armor without suffering a penalty.[/hider][/indent][/color][color=firebrick][b]Shield Training[/b][/color] [color=gray][indent]Novice [color=firebrick]โ–บ[/color] Journeyman [hider=Description]You can wield shields of the Large Size[/hider][/indent][/color] [/indent][/indent][hr][sup][sub][h2]| [color=firebrick]๐„ ๐ ๐” ๐ˆ ๐ ๐Œ ๐„ ๐ ๐“ & ๐ ๐„ ๐‹ ๐Ž ๐ ๐† ๐ˆ ๐ ๐† ๐’[/color] |[/h2][/sub][/sup] [indent][indent]๐„๐๐”๐ˆ๐๐๐„๐ƒ [color=firebrick]| [/color] [color=gray][list][*][url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8d/b1/e4/8db1e4071045395259016d46f2230574.jpg]Dwarven Plate[/url] and [url=https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Heavy_Dwarven_Helmet#:~:text=This%20dwarf%2Dmade%20generic%20helmet,the%20Gentle%20Path%20random%20encounter.]helm[/url] Dwarven War Axe [url=https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Duncan%27s_Shield]Grey Warden Shield[/url] Dagger Lyrium Potions[/list][/color]๐’๐“๐€๐’๐‡๐„๐ƒ [color=firebrick]| [/color] [color=gray][list][*]Throwing Axes Health Poultices [/list][/color]๐๐€๐‚๐Š๐๐€๐‚๐Š [color=firebrick]| [/color] [color=gray][list][*]Interesting rocks from the various areas he's been in Various writings on Darkspawn A tattered map of the Deep Roads Bedroll, water skin, flint, rations tent.
