[OOC] Dragon Age: The Uncharted Depths

[Sickle-cell]

Sorry it isn't longer, but i'm trying not to advance the plot too much till Leos is ready =P

[POOHEAD189]

You're ok, my friend. I'll love the character interactions when we have them, but I'm a sucker for battles.

[Sickle-cell]

Awesome ^.^

[TimeMasterX]

@TimeMasterX Welcome aboard! You got an idea of what kind of character you're going for? :)

@Charnobylisk

I was thinking a Qunari or Dwarf, sorry about the late reply, the job market waits for no one!

[Charnobylisk]

@TimeMasterX We could do with either of those. :D I look forward to seeing them! If my schedule allows I was considering making a secondary character that would be a Dwarf. You have good taste. :)

[TimeMasterX]

Haha I'm literally just finishing off a Dwarf CS, should have it ready in the next few minutes. There's a bit of canon from Origins in it but nothing going against what's been said in the OOC.

[Sickle-cell]

Awesome! ^.^

Don't mind people using prior events from the actual game, we have jiggled the timeline about to bring in Griffins, after all =D

[TimeMasterX]

I hope this is alright for everyone :)

Name: Delwin

Age: 23

Race: Dwarf

Mage?: No

Place of Origin: Dust Town in Orzammar

Appearance

Personality:

Delwin is undeniably pragmatic; willing to do anything to put herself ahead she is, at first glance, just another typical criminal churned out by Orzammar's caste system. Willing to get her hands dirty and not put off by danger, outrage or threats, she has a heart of iron and a very strong stomach. Blunt to the point of rudeness and apparently unfazed by social niceties, Delwin speaks her mind and doesn't care who hears. Her sense of morality is fickle and she has very few scruples. She appreciates honesty, professionalism and willingness to bend or break the rules.

Her experience of magic and mages is very limited but as far as she is concerned they are merely another resource to take advantage of. Her knowledge of the customs, factions and peoples on the Surface is also limited, not that she would ever admit as much. She has no particular animosity towards other races, partially because her fondness for Dwarves as a race is so lacking, she treats people as individuals or judges them by their association with other factions that she has come across.

Backstory:

Delwin was born in Dust Town Orzammar as an unfortunate product of a dalliance between a noble and a member of the Casteless. Delwin's mother had been rejected by her lover for fear of what the revelation of a child would do to his status; as a result Delwin was brought up to hate the nobility and this hatred ate at her until she grew to loathe Orzammar itself.

As was the case among many of the young of Orzammar's casteless Delwin found herself involved with the Carta. She was a pickpocket, and a good one, operating in the Orzammar Commons. She was only caught once, having flaunted her success unaware of the guard she was standing in front of. For her crime Delwin was given a terrible beating and thrown back into Dust Town as a warning for the other pickpockets operating there. She was eight years old.

After this incident Delwin could no longer work as a pickpocket, the guards knew her face. The Carta had her taught to fight, she was trained in the most unforgiving school of Orzammar: on the job. She accompanied the muscle of the Carta on their rounds collecting debts, intimidating store owners and on those nights the Carta would murder its competition. Delwin was first a lookout then a lackey before her fearsome skill and appearance allowed her to rise through the Carta's unofficial ranks to become one of its go to intimidator-killers.

Delwin's job took her both above and below the surface, she was a wraith-like figure, called upon only when the mark just wasn't getting the message and the Carta wanted them removed. She was responsible for the removal of merchants, nobles and one guard in the Commons who died mysteriously ten years after giving a beating to an eight year old pickpocket.

On the day that the Hero of Fereldan rooted out the Carta in Orzammar Delwin was above ground in Fereldan, upon hearing of the fate of the Carta she vanished, taking a great deal of resources and equipment with her. Now she makes use of her talents as a mercenary and assassin. To those who know of her she is held in very high regard, if she takes on a job it is a guarantee of success.

Notable items:

Dark leather armour, boots and gloves light and sturdy.
A shimmering amulet of beads around her neck, the vendor who surrendered it to her swore it would aid her stealth.
Two vicious long knives, gnarled and dull but impossibly sharp.
A belt of throwing knives.
A pouch of money.

No problems here, feel free to copy it over and post whenever ^.^

[Apollosarcher]

@TimeMasterX I am no longer the only non-human!

[TimeMasterX]

@Apollosarcher I hope you approve? :P

[POOHEAD189]

Dwarves are my favorite race in about any fantasy setting, but I'll refrain. If there was a Lizardman race in DA I'd be all over that too, but alas...

[Apollosarcher]

@TimeMasterX Yep, now I have some to complain about how humans cause all the problems.

[Sickle-cell]

@ApollosarcherHey, I know someone else who would agree.

Miriam Blackwood.

Go round up some demons! =P

[Leos Klien]

*cracks fingers*
Fuck... I broke one...

Ahem.
Anyway, after I get stitches and a trip to A&E I'll be cracking on with my profile, and subsequently my first post.
Looking forward to working with you all ^.^

[POOHEAD189]

*cracks knuckles* I'm ready

Hider

Seriously, that's awesome!

[FantasyChic]

I love elves in fantasy settings, even in Dragon Age because I love the Dalish and I enjoy how a City Elf could be the Hero of Ferelden, paving the way to change. But I always played a Human Female Noble in Origins, a Female Mage in 2, and I did an Elf Female Rogue in 3.

Also excited to see this going. I hope this is a long haul kinda thing because I've been itching to get Nicolette some action.

....*ahem* you know what I meant

[Charnobylisk]

@FantasyChic How unseemly. :P

[Sickle-cell]

I hope this is a long haul kinda thing

@FantasyChic

Definitely planning it to be ^.^

[Charnobylisk]

Sooooooooooooo we're waiting on Leos finishing up his CS. That's cool and I'm aware of things going on in that side.

Is anyone else going to be posting soon?
Actually, is our newest Dwarven friend going to jump into the action now or later? ;D
