Storyline

It has Been 400 years since the last Blight was Ended, The Betrayal by the Grey wardens at Ostagar that resulted in King Cailin's Death became a fabled Story in history, and it took many years for the Grey wardens to regain the Trust of the people, Even after the Archdemon Fell Atop Denerim Castle to the hands of a Grey warden Who's name was lost to history.

the Story is a great one, and taught to all young Children even in recent times, the Only two remaining Grey Wardens and a group of Companions United Ferelden against the Blight and won, in a battle that tore apart the Great City of Denerim. The Final Blow given to the Archdemon Consumed the one known simply as 'Grey Warden' in light, and when the light faded, he was gone without a trace, Alastair the Other Grey warden went onto become King of Fereldon, Morrigan Left the night before the final battle and was never seen again, rumors say she left for Orlais and never came back, Leliana and Sten both Returned to their home nations, Oghren returned to Orzammar, and died Battling darkspawn in the Deeproads. Wynne Returned to the tower of the Magi to Aid in the re-build. Zevran the assassin Died in the Final fight, as did the Warden's Mabari war hound. As For Shale, she returned to her thaig, where she planned to stay until she was needed again, Being a golem, she has no lifespan.

The Blight has returned, and it is once again up to the Grey wardens to Unite the Lands of Ferelden to Defeat the Archdemon once again, but if the Wardens fail at the great task ahead of them, then all of Thedas ,not just the continent of Ferelden, would fall, and the Darkspawn would rule and bring about the end of Civilization.

those Recruited Receive a letter by personal messenger and must Travel to the Warden's Keep, a fort inhabited by the Grey warden's, it is almost like a City for the Wardens, there is Training facilities, Weapon and Armor Smiths, and a general Vendor who sells all the Health poultice's and Lyrium potions you could ask for.

This Archdemon is the Smartest in history, to try to weaken the Grey Wardens, he called upon his four Generals to attack the four leaders of the Grey Wardens, each of the three Races Main noble Family's had a Grey warden in them, the Prince of Denerim who was Second in line to the thrown, the Arl of Redcliffs Daughter, the master Hunter of the Dalish Elves, and the Master Smith From Orzammar. This Left the Warden's in chaos, waiting for somebody to take the reigns.

General Info

You can be either a Grey warden, a Grey warden recruit who is yet to go through the joining ritual (good luck with that one), or a Companion to the Grey Warden.

There is a Cannon Character available in the Form of Shale the Golem, post a Bio for HER like you would a normal Character and i will approve or Deny it, but it will be first acceptable Bio gets the part. . . NO RESERVATIONS

Relationships are allowed (like the game, you could hook up with your companions) as Long as both Characters involved agree.

a Quick note about the Heritage section of the Bios Sheet,
Human's can be Nobles, Commoners or a Magi
Elves can be Dalish, City elves or Magi
Dwarves can be Nobles or Commoners

The Armour you have in your Bio will be the Armour you use through the RP, it will grow Stronger as you do, and any dents or cracks you get in the armor through game play will heal as your wounds left by the breaks do.

Races

Human: Human's are the most common race in Ferelden, Ranging from 5-7 Feet in Height at Adult age, Human's are predominantly of an Athletic build and have no Class restrictions.

Elf: Elves are the Second most common Race in Freleden, with either a city Background who are usually Servants for Rich Humans, Or Dalish who live in the forests of Ferelden, they Range from 4-6 feet in height (elves are shorter in the game so i am keeping them shorter) and are generally thinner than Human's and have no Class Restrictions.

Dwarfs: Dwarves Live in the underground City of Orzammar and range between 3-5 feet in height, they are generally stocky in build and more often than not are Extremely Hairy men. due to living near Lyrium Veins, Dwarfs can not be mages but are a more physical race anyway.

Classes

Warrior: Relying on Physical Strength Warriors Specialize in fighting with either Long Swords with a shield in their off hand, or 2 handed Great swords. Wearing heavy Armour and being able to take a lot of damage makes them able to charge at the enemies without getting murdered.

Rogue: Relying on Dexterity and cunning, Rogues aren't as physically Strong as Warriors, but with the ability to pick locks, detect traps and Sneak around behind Enemies, they are just as deadly, they can wield either Bows/Crossbows or Duel Wield Daggers, they wear Leather Armour and can take a medium amount of Damage so they tend not to charge into battle.

Mages: Relying on magic power, Mages are able to cast powerful magics and wield Staves only, they wear Robes most of the time, and cannot take much damage before they fall in battle, so they Stay far away from the Frey and cast their spells from range, without interference from the enemy hordes.
Specializations

[SPECIALIZATIONS WILL BE COMING LATER IN THE RP AND SO YOU MUST WAIT AND SEE FOR THIS SEGMENT TO BE FILLED]

Darkspawn

Genlock: Genlock's are the smallest and least physical of the Darkspawn, due to their size they tend to be the Rogue class of Darkspawn, focusing more on archery and accuracy to fight their foes.

Genlock Alpha : Genlock Alpha's are slightly Stronger than their Genlock Brothers, which is their reason for being promoted to their Alpha Status, they tend to wield two bladed weapon's be they Axe's, maces, swords or a combination of these

Genlock Emissary: The Genlock answer to a mage, they use low to mid level spells, and wield Staffs that cause Nature damage, they have a similar build to a regular Genlock, but their Armour is slightly heavier and the Obvious difference of the spells that fly when your fighting them.

Hurlock: Hurlocks are taller and stronger than Genlocks, they normally wield Swords and are most capable as Warriors because of their greater builds. Send predominantly with Swords and Shields, they aren't afraid to hammer someone with their Shield.

Hurlock Alpha: Like the Genlock Alpha's, Hurlock Alpha's are physically stronger than the Regular Hurlocks, favoring Greatswords or Mauls, they throw their Strength Behind each blow, knocking most who are hit by the monstrous weapon's on their back.

Hurlock Emissary: Hurlock Emissary's cast mid to strong magics, also wielding Staffs they are better mages than the Genlock emissary's their Staffs are stronger than their Genlock Alter-ego's, but still Deal Nature damage.

Ogre: Monstrous Creatures, Bordering on 10 feet tall, their muscular Body and powerful Blows stops them needing weapons, their ability to lift human's up and Snap their spines in one hand makes them the most devastating Darkspawn on the battlefield, and a single Ogre cannot be taken Down by one Grey warden, or any other Human for that matter.

Armored Ogre: these are just like Ogre's, but they are armed with Steel Armour that is difficult to Penetrate, they are more Barbaric than Regular Ogre's when they Sprint into the Battlefield they are close to impossible to stop.

I know were not meant to double post, but I want to get my Bio up now, to give a kinda guideline for other peoples Bio's

Name: Stephen Hownam
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Grey Warden
Race: Human
Class: Warrior
Weapon Type: longsword
Specialization:
Heritage: Son Of the Arl of Redcliffe
Appearence: Armour off . . . Armour on (Front pic)
Personality: Stephen is a cold and cut off person, although he travels with his Grey Warden companions he Slender Speaks, he hides behind his helmet, Whenever he does Speak, Stephen tends only to give Constructive Criticism. with his past, Stephen has realized Death comes to everyone, and the life Expectancy of a grey Warden is considerably lower than that of a regular Soldier, it's part of the reason he joined the warden's.

History: Stephen was born into the Noble Family of Redcliffe, when he was born he had a large birthmark on his left shoulder, it was as though a Dragon was wrapped around his left shoulder, his Father took this as a Signal from the maker that his first Son was destined to be a great warrior.

At Aged 7 Stephen's Father began to train him with a sword and shield, and even from the get go Stephen was a natural wielding a blade, and when a shield was connected to his off hand, he was a good fighter, as Stephen grew so did his Skill with a sword, and he slowly became one of the Best knights Redcliffe had.

At Aged 10 Stephen Began his academic Studies, Starting with the Blood Dragon armor, which was a suit of armor in the Redlcliffe Armory that was meant to have untold power when worn by a 'marked' Warrior and, as legend had it, the armor would only Attain it's full potential when one who was marked had a surge of emotion so powerful, it would make even the mightyest of Darkspawn tremble.

at Aged 18, Stephen was Glad to be a knight of Redcliffe and His Father's Personal Body guard, Everyday Stephen would wake up just over an hour before he was to take over from his father's night Guard so he could don his Scale Mail Armour, gloves and boots and put in an hour of Solid Training before he got to work.

Stephen didn't want to follow his Older Sister Cassidy's lead and join the Grey warden's, but with her being a great Rogue, she would without a doubt Become a higher level some day.

4 years down the line, Cassidy had become one of the four leaders of the Grey Warden's, and wished for her brother to join the order, but Stephen refused,which was something he later came to regret.

only a year after his sister became one of the Leaders of the Grey Wardens with the other three leaders in their home City, a Darkspawn general attacked the Keep, and the other 3 Darkspawn generals took down the Grey Warden leaders.

The General at the keep took down Many Grey Warden's before it reached Cassidy and after a short battle, Cassidy was left dead. Stephen was on his way to the Keep when this happened, and when he arrived he was to late, his sister lay dead and there was nothing he could do about it.

as the rain began to fall heavily over the keep, Stephen sat, holding his sister's corpse repeating "I will avenge you cass, I Promise" so on his 24 Birthday, Stephen had to bury his sister, in Redcliffe's Noble Graveyard, she was honored with a great Service.

During the Service, there was an attack on the castle, which Stephen was prepared for, he took up arms, and fought the Dark spawn in the courtyard of Redcliffe castle. Stephen gave a devastating blow to the darkspawn General, who must have realized he was going to loose and ordered Archers to take out the king, it knew that Stephen wouldn't be able to fight if he was broken hearted.

the Archer's followed their General's order to the letter. and unleashed over 30 arrows upon the king, only around 7 hit him, but the damage had been done, Stephen held his father, as he had done with his sister, but this time he arrived in time, his father's last words were "let yourself Slip son"

Stephen couldn't believe it, in a matter of weeks two members of his family had been murdered by the same fiend, something Snapped inside of Stephen, and he charged at the Darkspawn General Screaming as he ran, Stephen was locked in battle with the Darkspawn General, and eventually came out the other end victorious.

and as he stood over the corpse of the Darkspawn General's still warm corpse, the eyes of the Blood Dragon armor in the armory began to glow, as did the mid section's glyph's a Soldier brought the news to Stephen who went to check it out, and as he looked upon the Armour his father's voice rang through his head "a surge of emotion" Stephen looked away and then turned his gaze back to the Armour, his father's voice came into his head again "let your self slip son"

Stephen vowed his father's death would not be in vein, he then proceeded to wear what was known as the blood dragon armor, and armor so special, it grew in strength as the man who wears it grow. Stephen now had nothing left, his mother died years ago when he was very young, both his father and sister fell at the hands of the blight, and so Stephen joined the ranks of the Grey Wardens, where he has been ever since.

Thats good Cardiac, wealcome to the RP, hopefully more people will apply.

you are ACCEPTED
 
Hey a Dragon age RP I'm in for that.

Name: Ascalon Ecthelion

Age:25 Race: Human

Affiliation:Supposed Gray Warden Ally......

Class:Warrior

Weapon Type: GreatSword/Duel Wield Long swords

Specialization:

Heritage: From a noble house in Anderfels

Appearance:
Ascalon, often just called Ecthelion, was a formidable looking man, Standing 6,4" and weighing 17 stones, a face chiseled from the wash of many battles and slight layering of facial hair masking the numerous cuts he has withstood.

He is well versed in combat with the massive 2 handed Great Swords of the old days. Somewhat selfish as a point of pride and not giving his strength to those he deems unworthy Ecthelion seems harsh, but is driven by an underlying sense of justice and honour.

His reluctant choice to join the GreyWardens is a clash of his desire to stick with his families tradition of not being involved in quelling blights as it his desire to continue his search for ancients weapons........for he seeks no glory in battle, but even the most pious man has dreams of fame.

Family has served the Greywardens in peace but never offered there services in the past blights. With the presence of Darkspawn again threatening the land, the family made a choice to send for there elder of 2 sons to be called back home heeding the plea of the decimated wardens.

He spent several years searching for the now lost and ancient blade Yusaris: The Dragon Slayer, rumoured to have been used in the great battle of Denerim 400 years Prior, it is during the 5th year of this search his requested to return to his home, after several days of mithering, he acquiesces to his family decision to lend there might to the Grey wardens efforts, for he held much if it in his life & knowledge.

Galaxy Flare, i only have one problem with your Bio, and that is your duel wielding Greatswords, they are to heavy to be held in one hand, you can either duel wield, or use a longsword, not both, Sorry to be picky, but im trying to remain true to the game in the wielding styles,

but thats all i can really see wrong with it.
 
No sorry that was my bad Snow it was Just a case of not wording it right.

Of course,at least according to he world of dragon age, you cant wield 2 Great swords, what I meant was wield 2 Long swords like you would a Sword and Dagger or a Sword and Shield, but in this cast it just 2 Long swords at the hight of a Rogues powers.

You can really wield 2 long swords you just need a lot upper body strength...........IRL of course.
 
its okay man, just whip you Bio up so it has great sword as the weapon type, maybe put your class and weapon type on separate lines. and put his appearance and personality in their own sections
 
Name: Desmelda Fairwind (Dessa)
Age: 21
Gender: female
Affiliation: Grey warden
Race: Dalish
Class: Rogue
Weapon Type: Dual Wield Short Swords and a Dalish Bow
Specialization: (BLANK)
Heritage: The daughter of one dalish chieftain
Appearence: here she is in her normal daywear. Here she is in her armour. heres her bow that she is willing to sell if she needs to and here are her swords 'kaze and suji' the only two things she will not part with, given to her by her father on his deathbed.
Personality: Dessa is light-hearted and happy-go-lucky. she attempts to find the good side in any situation. dont let her demeanour fool you though. she has a terrible temper. and the strength to back it up.
History: 1 year ago she was happy and comfortable in her life as the clans prodigal daughter. Her clan were either destroyed or scattered when the darkspawn attacked her village she wouldve been dead too if it wasnt for the grey wardens. Thats when she decided on her calling in life. she became a grey warden simply because it suited her purposes to do so, it meant she could kill darspawn in the name of her tribe. despite being young she has already had quite a bit of combat training and experience under her belt. more than many dalish twice her age. She has ridden horses but not into battle.

**About secret art: NIGHT DANCER**
a fighting style that is so fluid it looks like a dance, but its as deadly as anyother form of fighting. if not deadlier due to its unpredictability
