I forgot the Qunari were a race! I based my choices on Origins selection. Otherwise, I would have came up with a different character. Oh well, funnyman assassin is always a fun role to play.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

Well, it would probably do well to mention that as long as people play their chosen roles well and have fun with it, I don't care what race they choose. Case and point if somebody wants to play as a Bronto, by all means be the best bronto you can be. Except Darkspawn. I'm... planning somehting with them. UNLESS somebody wishes to play a Sentient Darkspawn AFTER a certain point in the RP.

So what is the main story for this RP? I assume it involves the Shieldmaiden? Is it a story of revenge on the Howes or does it become something deeper like joining the Grey Wardens?
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

I'm thinking it will be Aimil shield Maiden and her steward gathering allies, swearing revenge on the Howes, tracking the Grey Warden's movements in hopes of joining. When the Teryning of Highever is given to the Wardens, the party discovers a secret about the Cousland family that they must destroy. I'm probably going to kill off Valerius at some point to implement another character I was thinking about. Around the time the party reaches Amaranthine, I'm thinking he'll die. and the newcomer will take his place.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

Had a really cool idea for my character. Hopefully you guys like him.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

Raze, your character certainly is interesting, I'll give you that. Something tells me you had Fenris in your party a lot, eh?
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

Surprisingly enough, no. I loved his backstory, but I hated his personality. I typically stuck with Varric and Merrill. Third spot kept changing between Av, Anders, and Isabella, depending on the situation, and on how badly I wanted to see Isabella's ass. Same goes for Zevan. He seemed cool from what I learned of him through friendsthe forum, but I just couldn't convince myself to spare him after he came for my life without the nagging feeling that he'd do it again, given the opportunity.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

Ill have a character up some time tomorrow.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

He wouldn't. Especially since he was bisexual, so if you got his friendship high enough as a male OR female, he was loyal to you to the end even if you chose not to have a relationship with him. Now YES, there was a way for him to try to kill you again- neat the end game, in Denerim, the Crows would spring a trap for you. His friend Talesan would try to convince him to come back to the Crows, and if his loyalty was too low or you spoke to him too harshly at that point, he would betray you and you would have to kill him. He mad a more effective combat rogue than Leliana, but you had to manually give him the Lockpick ability because he never learned it. Plus, if you had him maxed out in loalty, were in a relationship with a 'hardened' Leliana, and went with the two of them to meet Isabella at The Pearl in Denerim, you could have an implied Foursome. Little easter eg that had no reward that the developers thought might be fun to throw into the game.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

Im my DA1 party Id usually keep Leliana ohh that accent and Wynne, alternating the third as the situation called for it. Unless I was a lockpick rogue, in which case the only constant in the party was either Wynne or Shayle.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

Oh, Leliana. Or, as I liked to call her, the lock-bitch and expendable battery, when I became a blood mage. I just gave her a bow and kept her out of the fight. Most of my time was spent trying to get both Morrigan and Alistair to like me, since, as a mage, Alistair made the perfect wall and battery, and I would often have Morrigan and me overlap our AoE spells and cast spell combinations together. I boned her a couple times, and then replaced her with Wynne for battery-maintenance. Long story short, I quickly understood why people don't like blood mages Everyone else becomes a walking battery.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

I wasn't really that fond of the warrior in DAO because of how straightforward the combat was. Or maybe I was just used to it because of how much Neverwinter Nights I used to play the games DAO's combat is based off of. I basically just played through every backstory up to when you meet alistair, and then played a mage and a Dwarven rogue to completion. I just really like the Dwarven culture, and it's also really funny when a human goes down on their knees to kiss you. After that I surfed the wikiforums a bit for what I had missed. I might have liked to play a noble and become king.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

I never really got the grasp of Blood Mage specialization. I always went Shapeshifter or Arcane Warrior. For Warriors, I didn't really LIKE the two-handed attacks, but after I made my first character, a dwarf commoner, a dual-weilder warrior, I raped on the battlefield as a COMBINATION Tank and DPS.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey OOC Chat

I am so sorry it took me so long to get my character up. I was having some trouble writing her background, because she's a Cousland, and we all kind of know what they are like. So, would you like me to do the first post? It may take me a while to write something perfect , a couple hours. I'm quite... hungover, so I still need to recuperate a bit. Ha

No worries, I'll post something up then we can kick off Aimil's response. Recover, Cyan.

Yes. We're not really going off 'levels' per se, but assume you begin with basic to mid-grade armor and weaponry.

Thedas. 930 Dragon. The Fifth Blight is just starting to show signs of being a TRUE Blight, in southern Ferelden. After King Cailan's defeat at Ostagar, the Order of the Grey Wardens is all but gone. Teryn Loghain Mac Tyr stands as regent in wake of the young king's demise. Unbeknownst to most of the country, the only two surviving Grey Wardens in all of Ferelden are Alistair, a recently-inducted former Templar with a smart mouth, and his companion. The details on this other Warden are unclear- most of what one hears is mere speculation. Is the Warden Recruit a female? A Dwarf? A Mage, even? All speculation. But that is a tale most already know, it is a tale for another time. Our story takes us to the north of Ferelden, to a Teryning known as Highever, ancestral home of the esteemed Cousland family. It is not a forgiving land, it's soil and landscape as tough as it's people. It is here where the story of Aimil Cousland begins. The last surviving member of her family after a vicious betrayal by the Howe family, Aimil has managed to escape her family home, and with the help of her steward Valerius Whitehall, found passage to the city of Denerim. Aimil has much to learn in the ways of the warrior, but it through the help of her steward that she will find her true calling, avenging her family, and discovering a dark secret her family has held since the First Blight. Only by gathering her allies and making some unlikely friends will she be able to grasp her destiny and protect Ferelden, maybe even the whole of Thedas, from an ancient evil.

Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

The Gnawed Noble Tavern. Located in the heart of Denerim's Market district, this establishment of inebriation, this taj mahal of alcohol had been something of a Denerim institution among newcomers to the city and residents alike. As the heavy wooden door opened with a tired groan, the smell of vomit and spilled ale wafted out, assaulting the senses of anybody standing too close to the entrance. In this case, that somebody was Sir Valerius of Highever. His nose began to twitch, his brow wrinkling in a mixture of nostalgia and disgust- bars like this were common throughout Thedas, but it was only here in Denerim where the smells of an alehouse managed to combine with the smell of rotting garbage and wet dogs to form an olfactory assault that, could it have been bottled, the Qunari would undoubtedly have used as a new form of weapon. Stepping through the doorway with his charge- the young Lady Aimil Cousland- behind him, Valerius awaited the young noblewoman's entrance as he scanned the room, looking for a nice, quiet, and preferably clean place to sit. Nodding to the bartender, who nodded back in response, the aging knight wasted no time in snatching up the chance to pull aside a comely young waitress. Depositing a single golden Sovereign in her palm, she smiled at the warrior before directing him towards a back room to the right of the bar facing away from the entrance. With discretion he came back to his charge, whispering in hushed tones to the young noblewoman. My Lady Cou- he hesitated, catching himself. My Lady Aimil, I have taken the liberty of reserving us a private room where we shall not be disturbed. We should take the opportunity to plan out our next steps while we are here, ma'am. he whispered, eyes darting around to make sure nobody saw him.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

Aimil Cousland no longer felt like a lady, even if her guardian continued to treat her as such. Her once glorious hair was cut short and ragged to hang around her ears, the sparkling eyes that hinted of her mother were dull and supported by dark bags. They had traveled for quite some time to get to Denerim, having stuck to the edges of the road and trusting no one, it had been almost unnecessarily long in her eyes. By this point, the stench of wet dogs and piss was almost familiar to her, and she stalked into the tavern as the best sell-sword she could act like. The walls were dull and fading, the floor creaking and broken, it seemed hard times had begun. Aimil was taking in the dreary room when Valerius returned to her side. She thanked him with a small, half-smile and waved a hand for him to lead on. There were a few scattered guests, a couple she recognized from her father's halls and feasts, some she only knew by the crests on their breasts. Not much to plan, she said softly to Valerius, Find him, kill him. There was venom in her tone, but she didn't dare raise her voice too loud, and not even a single head lifted from their drinks. At least here she wouldn't have to fear of eavesdroppers.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

Nathan had noticed the two newcomers enter the bar, but paid not much attention to them. He sat at the bar, taking large swigs of liquor straight from the bottle. Nathan had lots of values on him, though no gold coins. He had small gems and rare materials with him from his days as a miner, having them on hand because he knew that the world outside of his mine shack valued currency. He hoped that this would suffice, and he paid for his drinks with some of the lesser, tinier gems he held on hand. He said nothing as he simply placed small little rubies and other crystal shards on the counter, where the barkeep would take them and replace them with a bottle of alcohol rather than a cup. His alcohol limit seemed to be never ending. A sigh left his lips. Less than...who knows how long...since he left Byr, and he has barely managed to see anything fun or exciting. He turned in his seat and looked to his shovel laying against the counter beside him. He looked at everyone within the bar and then looked to an artifact he pulled out of his pocket. A small golden totem. He had found it lying on the road on his travels...and it has brought him nothing but good luck, except for when it came to excitement.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

As Valerius led the way to the private room, he could hear the telltale signs of somebody having had too much to drink and messing with the wrong person. Somebody in the room opposite the hallway they were in was making a ruckus, roaring about the 'Crimson Oars' or some nonsense. Valerius knew it was only a matter of time before the fool would pick the wrong wanderer to tangle with and end up permanently silenced. As the two entered the private room, Valerius ordered himself a drink before sitting at one of the provided couches in the rooms sitting area. Reaching into his pack, he unfurled a map or Ferelden across the table, holding the corners in place with books and various bits of decor from around the room. My Lady, as you know this- he said, pointing to the map's northern area, near the northern road to Denerim. Is High ever, with Amaranthine closer to the East. Now, we have been traveling as far as Denerim- he said, moving his gloved finger to the city they were currently in. And that's where our trail goes cold. We know it was Rendon Howe who did this, but we cannot say why for certain. It is.... Reasonable to assume that Howe seeks to garner land and political power from his treachery, but if the rumors are true and he is under the employ of Teryn Loghain, it would be unwise to attack him outright. Leaning back, he awaited his charge's response as he contemplated the situation. Howe, Loghain, King Cailan, the battle at Ostagar.... They were all connected somehow, but something was there that the old veteran just wasn't seeing.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

Looking over, Nathan had noticed the woman look at the totem he was carrying. He thought nothing of it, and actually moved over to sit by her. He made certain not to forget his bottle either as he moved over, and drank some of it before speaking to her. Aye...I see you've taken an interest in this little trinket I've found lying about, miss. He said with a grin as he held it up to show her more clearly. A golden totem! Must be valuable right? Though...This be my good luck charm as well. Its brought me many a good luck...I wouldn't part with it for the world. He laughed and placed it on the desk, and turned to look to the woman. Tell me...Whats your name? Do ya know of anything interesting going on in the world? I come from a far away place to travel the world...Yet I've found little to no excitement since I had left.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

King Cailan is dead...? This is news to me. He replied as he leaned more into the counter with his back. He frowned and began to think on the matter of how he found the totem. Well...About two days after I left home, I found it lying on the ground in the road. I thought it was odd how it was standing upright as if someone just placed it there and walked away...I stayed for a few minutes, thinking the owner would return, but he did not...so I took it. He shrugged and offered her the rest of his bottle.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

Not much of a drinker, are ye? He laughed heartily as he draped an arm over her shoulder and pulled her in. Another two bottles over here! One for me and one for the lady! He placed a larger gem on the table as payment for the two bottles of booze, and popped the tops off of both bottles. He handed one to her, and grinned as he began to down his own as if it were water and he were a desert dweller. Within seconds, the bottle would be empty and placed on the table. He truly had the skill of a dwarf when it came to drinking alcohol.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

Oh come now...You can do better than that! Drink! Drink! Its offending to a dwarf if you don't accept his liquor! Oh...Excuse me...I know I am human but I was raised as a dwarf since birth...My name is Nathan Stone. Born and raised in Byr with dwarves. And what is your name? He smiled and reached over to take his totem back finally, and pocketed the trinket. He truly felt much more lucky with it on his person and felt uncomfortable having it left out in the open where anyone with itchy fingers could have taken it while he was distracted.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

He laughed at her, seeing how giddy she seemed to be after all the liquor she had drunk within such a short period of time. Well then, Syl! We're drinking buddies from here on out! He began to chime happily and sing songs of dwarven origin before some ruffian came over and grabbed him by the collar, and threw him to the ground. Shheeeyut the fuck up already! Yer damn songs are gettin' on mah last damn nerve! Nathan stood up, angrily as he reached for his empty bottle and smashed it across the man's head, causing it to shatter upon impact and send the man onto the ground, unconscious.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

Nathan nodded as he held his head in pain as he had hit it on the way down. I'm fine...I'm fine... He murmured as he looked to Syl with a frown. I'm going to leave for a bit...head to my room at the hotel...Do you think you'll be alright alone, Syl? You're a bit...giddy and ditzy from the alcohol...like a newborn dwarf drinking its first bottle of rum. Do you need me to walk you anywhere in particular so you don't get mugged or worse on the way?
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

He nodded, and helped her out of the tavern by wrapping her arm over his neck as he picked her up. He grinned to her, winking lightly as he walked out of the tavern and toward the hotel that was down the road. He walked past the front desk, and up to his room where he put her down. Don't waste money on a room...Just stay here for the night. I can sleep on the floor! It'll be just like home! He obviously was not very...social as he had no idea how this could have came off. Getting her drunk, only to bring her to his hotel room.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

Woah...This what they call magic? He said as he felt his head feel much better afterwards. He grinned, and rubbed the side of his head and felt no pain whatsoever. Magic woman! He said playfully and stretched. Dwarves don't care much for magic...but I always found it to be interestin'. He smiled a bit, and showed her inside his room. There's the bed you can sleep on...And here's mine. He laid down on the floor and stretched a bit, and used his own arms as pillows as he laid on his back. Sleep whenever ya want. I'm gonna be busy...playing mind games. A lil trick I taught myself to keep me busy. I learned to play cards in my head without a cheat system! A bit weird I know...but I don't share the same desire for mining like my dwarven brethren do...so I had to come up with somethin to pass the time.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

He saw her lay down on the ground, and laughed. Then I guess neither of us will use the bed...I wasn't even going to use it when I bought it. Its just nice to feel safe in a room rather than sleeping outside on the floor where I can get mugged in my sleep or something. Go on. Sleep on the bed. Unless you want to truly sleep down here with me? He laughed lightly. Elves. Interesting lot, you all. Though I've never met one in person until I met you. I've only read about 'em in Dwarven books and you fit the description of a non-biased book. Beautiful and forever young.
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

Well now little lady...I could sleep up there in the bed with ya if you need me to be but you might get the wrong idea if I suddenly drape an arm around you in the night. He shrugged and leaned up to look at her, seeing her on the side of the bed nearest him. If you prefer that anyway. I'm a real gentlemen...probably not like a lot of humans around here who'd take advantage of a drunk woman. I ain't like that. I was raised to be strong an' proud, honorable!
Thread: Dragon Age: Shield Maiden's Journey

He got up off of the ground and moved to lay next to her. However, his back was to her and he was a little curled up as he slept on the soft cushion that was the bed. He smiled and yawned a bit. Good night...Might as well play some cards until I pass out from fatigue... He murmured as he closed his eyes and continued to play cards, trying not to make things too awkward for her even though he didn't really care that the two of them were sleeping in the same bed. His only concern was that this might have been just a trick and she was really just a thief here for his golden totem...but it was a risk he was willing to take. Besides...the damn thing was his lucky trinket.
