The armies have gathered at Ostagar, ready to fight for their great country, Ferelden, at the word of the king. They will charge in his name, in the name of Ferelden, and the name of their Maker. And for this they will die at the hands at Darkspawn, in hopes that their loss will be for the greater good. They are all good men and women, fighting for a great cause, but will the loses they see here be worth it? Will the succeed and stop the Darkspawn before they can ravage the lands, just as the king foretells? OR will it all fall in to ruin as the Darkspawn taint the land? Will the Maker spare them?
As usual, there is your cheesy intro for the role-play. Now lets break it down into something that isn't so cheesy.
You, my good man/woman, have come to Ostagar to join the fight against the Darkspawn. And that is the most we have to start with. I ask that you have played the first Dragon Age, that'll make this easier to follow.
So to start off we are all at Ostagar. How or why you are here is up to you. You may be a gray warden, a gray warden to be, and circle mage, a noble, a servant, a soldier, a prisoner, or whatever, it's very open.The list below is one compelled by our very own Huntah to give you some ideas.
Huntah's List: [SPOILI]
Human Royal (Ferelden) Origin? Playing the Prince/Princess or Alistair type background.
Human Noble (Ferelden) Origin
Human Commoner (Ferelden) Origin? Originally planned in the game, but got cut.
Human Street Rat (Ferelden) Origin? Lower end commoners underworld and stuff similar to the game's Dwarf Commoner Storyline.
Human Savage (Chasind Wilder) Origin? Chasind are pretty badass marsh peoples check them out: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Chasind_Wilders
Human Barbarian (Avvar) Origin? Part Native American, Part Celtic, Part Nordic,also pretty badass: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Avvars
Human/Elven Circle Mage Origin
Apostate Mage Origin? Runaway Mage anyone?
Dalish Elf Origin
City Elf Origin
Dwarf Royal Origin? Re naming the Dwarven Noble Origin.
Dwarven Noble Origin? One where you are part of one of the noble families not the royal familes (that annoyed me).
Dwarven Commoner Origin? One where you are actually a commoner not acasteless/street rat like a merchant, warrior, minor cast.
Dwarven Casteless Origin? The Commoner origin under new name.
Surface Dwarf? Outcast from your peoples city?
Foreign Grey Warden? Maybe you where sent to be tutored in Ferelden, maybe you have just been stationed there, or have been there for years.
Etc. maybe your foreign? Or maybe you just don't fit in these origins, etc. [/SPOILI]
After we are all set and at Ostagar we will have a little time before the big battle starts. From there on we will change things from what they once were. We will cross that bridge when we get to it. The main thing I have to say here is that the warden from the original Dragon Age is replaced by our group. And that we are all going to have to get together somehow.
