His eyes are hard, though not cruel. Killing, for him, is a means to an end and nothing to take pleasure from. If he does his job right, nobody will know he's been there until it's far, far too late. He isn't a handsome hero of legend; he's grizzled and experienced, face worn rough through almost a decade and a half of experience. He stands at about 5'9, and is of a lithe, athletically muscular build with slightly broad shoulders rather than a stocky warriors build. Despite his more athletic frame, his body is hard and all tough muscle...there's no room for fat when you're in the business of death. His hair is short-cut and black, and kept firmly under control. His eyes are a dull green, and one has lost a little colouration after sustaining some damage in a skirmish with a Bard early in his "career." Along with the scar on his face, his body also bears the marks of a life of intrigue and assassinations, having more than his fair share of 'battle-scars.' At this point in his life, however, it is the rare enemy that can land a nasty enough blow to create a new one.<br><br>The following picture is as close as I could make it.

(http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150108234755/dragonage/images/5/59/Amaranthine-charger.png)<br><br><strong>Backstory:</strong> Ninety years ago, during the fifth Blight, Kas's ancestors fled to the Free Marches City State of Kirkwall, along with roughly half the population of Southern Ferelden. Their story was the same as hundreds, perhaps thousands of others: seeking to escape the Blight and take refuge in a hopefully sympathetic city, they spent most of their life savings hiring a boat to get them to the city, thankfully being amongst the first to arrive, before they began barring entry to the refugees. Once inside, however, they were forced to live in the slums of Darktown, sleeping wherever they could and doing whatever odd jobs they had to for the various criminal factions to get enough food to survive. Several years into their stay in Kirkwall – they didn't have the money to make the return trip to Ferelden – Kas's great-grandfather was mugged and murdered on his way back to his wife and child. After receiving no help from the Guards, his great-grandmother turned to the Qun, convinced that no life could be worse than the one they were already living. After surviving the Qunari attack on the city, his great-grandmother and her son left with the Qunari who eventually arrived to retrieve the Dreadnought, convinced that she wasn't safe in the city that was only just licking its wounds from the previous decade of strife. And so began Kas's families life under the Qun. That is, as much as there is any “family” under the Qun; he supposes he should say that that is how his genealogical line came under the Qun, because since then, no member of his “Line” has ever been a part of a family unit. <br><br>Kas himself was bred and then raised from an early age to be especially adept at stealth and deception, given his human lineage and obvious uses as a spy in foreign lands. Thus, he was inducted into the Ben-Hassrath's training system and trained to be a spy and occasional assassin. Alas, after several years of formal assignments on the Mainland, something went wrong: during a routine information hand-off to his “handler” (for lack of a better term), the small group of agents was attacked by a Tevinter Counter-Espionage unit that had managed to find the meeting spot, who butchered the surprised Ben-Hassrath agents almost to the man. Kas, severely wounded, managed to escape with the information with the intent of ensuring its delivery to his superiors in the Ben-Hassrath, no matter the cost. Unfortunately, it was not to be: after binding his wounds and managing to evade his pursuers, he travelled towards the closest Ben-Hassrath safehouse for proper medical attention and a debriefing. When he arrived, he was immediately ambushed by several of the agents present at the Safehouse, and only managed to escape by the skin of his teeth. Whilst searching the bodies of the assassins, he found a small message on their body – recently penned – detailing how they had received information that Kas was responsible for the discovery and deaths of their agents, and how he was to be either captured or killed on sight, lest he manage to infiltrate the Ben-Hassraths ranks. Realising that he had been outmanoeuvred, Kas went on the run as an unwilling Tal-Vashoth, choosing a new name to live by (Isaala (Dust)) and evading assassins as best he could. <br><br>After a good couple of years of living in abandoned caves and ruins and living off of what he could hunt or steal from local brigands, the Ben Hassrath agents pursuing him finally caught up: they cornered him in the remains of an ancient Dwarven Thaig, and Kas was preparing to meet his end....when a small group of Inquisition Agents who were investigating the Thaig stumbled across them and decided to aid him. After dispatching the agents, Kas – who had nowhere else to go – was convinced to accompany the Agents back to Skyhold for questioning and shelter. After being debriefed, the Inquisition agreed to offer him sanctuary in exchange for his services and information...after being hunted relentlessly for the last two years of his life, Kas was no longer feeling much loyalty to the Qun, and accepted their terms. Of course, the matter of possible assassins still remained; after evading six attempts on his life – five whilst out in the field and one whilst in Skyhold itself – over the next year and a half, the Inquisition decided that something ought to be done about Kas's fugitive status; with the aid of the Inquisition, Kas was able to eradicate the group that had killed his Ben-Hassrath “Cell” and clear his name (or title, or whatever) in the eyes of the Qun. Of course, after living on the run for so long, Kas had become used to his status as a Tal-Vashoth, and no longer bore any love for his country. Therefore, he remained Tal-Vashoth (evading the Qunarii “Courtesy Assassination”) and pledged his life to the Inquisition, choosing a new name.... “Kas.” Six years on, Kas still serves the Inquisition with unwavering loyalty, employing his skills both as a spy, a scout and an assassin to further The Inquisitions goals in Thedas.<br><br><br><strong>Other Pictures:</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://talesfromthecards.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/dunedain.jpg)</div></div><br><br><strong>Theme:</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWDYAJ2-Y1E</div></div><br>

Her body is shapely - Large breasts, hips, butt and small waist - all seem to run in the family when it came to the women. Her brown hair compliments her honey toned skin and iridescent green-hazel eyes. She prefers to dress elegant at the best of times, saving for her dancing clothes she wears while entertaining others.<br><div align="center">(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc255/Skittle_Kitten_Plur/Rp%20Characters/KirbyGriffin2_zpsgabsrm2s.jpg)<br>Image 1 (http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc255/Skittle_Kitten_Plur/Rp%20Characters/KirbyGriffin_zpsf1gyjw4k.jpg) Image 2 (http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc255/Skittle_Kitten_Plur/Rp%20Characters/olivia_zps297abdd4.jpg)</div><br><strong>Positon:</strong> Lady - Diplomat<br><strong>Class:</strong> Bard/Dancer<br><strong>Skills:</strong> N/A<br><strong>Equipment:</strong> N/A<br><strong>Mount:</strong> Royal Sixteen Hart (http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141230205724/dragonage/images/a/a0/Royal-Sixteen.png)<br><br><strong>Favourite Gifts:</strong> <br><br><strong>Eloquent &amp; Persuasive:</strong> Juliette has a knack for convincing even some of the toughest delegates and nobles to bend at her will. Her soft and flirty way of speaking lets guards down pretty quickly, making it easy for her to sway them in the direction she wants. This trait is always linked to something dishonorable or evil, but at times is necessary when dealing with difficult contacts.<br><strong>Dancer:</strong>This natural gift she acquired through her teenage years makes for infiltrating dangerous clients and dignitaries an easier feat. Though, she more often uses it to seduce those she's interested in on a physical level.<br><br><strong>Hated Gifts:</strong> <br><br><strong>Lie Detector:</strong> Juliette has been unsuccessful in the romance part of her life. Whenever she gets too close to anyone, she often has a way of telling when someone is being faithful. This has caused plenty of relationships and friendships to end because of this ability. Though it is a very useful gift to have, she always dreamed she would be better off without it.<br><strong>Hard to get:</strong> Because of her ability to detect a liar from a truthful person, she has a hard time being intimate with a lot of men. Thus making relationships with women to be a more prominent factor in her life.<br><br><strong>Backstory:</strong> Juliette was fortunate to grow up in a very wealthy noble family in Antiva. As the only child to well-known diplomats, she had plenty of resources that would shape her career for the future. Growing up in Antiva with an affluent family, she had the fortunate experience of getting the best education status and money could buy. Juliette, being a naturally eloquent speaker, picked up a knack for lying to get the truth out of her parents and family. More often than not, she would get away with such a devious act, but little did she know it would shape her into the woman she grew up to be. Although a favorite amongst her friends and noblemen, it was rumored that her family was hiding a secret about her heritage, figuring that the family would lose their status if they were to ever find out.<br><br>It is said that Juliette is the bastard child of an Elven woman and her father, Vincent Augusto. Though not confirmed, it sparked talk amongst the poor and rich alike giving the fact that her features were somewhat elf like. When this knowledge hit her own ears, she wanted to know the truth from her family, but they remained silent only telling her that it was just a rumor. Because of this, she has vowed to find out the truth for herself, following a path of diplomacy much like her family has done for generations.<br><br>Despite her privileged background, Juliette often snuck out with a few of her closet friends to dance in taverns and experience the life as a commoner. She grew very much in love with the culture and the people and it a hobby that she would frequent quite often. Her dancing, eloquence, and beauty, all brought quite the following and fanbase that she did not expect. During her eighteenth birthday, she encountered a group of elite noblemen from the Tevinter territory. She knew of the Tevinter people, but not put a lot of time into really knowing who they were as a people. <br><br>While performing for them, she learned they were there for more than just a visit. They were looking for an illegal way of kidnapping the common folk of Antiva to sell into slavery in Tevinter. The Antivan men and women were known for their good looks and sexual freedom and expression, making them a nice target for slavery and good money. Worried, Juliette quickly found a few of her noble assassins to get rid of them and find out who exactly was behind the whole charade from the beginning. After these events had passed, Juliette made a point to take her diplomacy seriously, using her dancing as a skill to find those that were hard to get through by other means.<br><br>Now, she dedicates her energy to finding out gossip before it begins and using her diplomacy to relay messages and negotiations between cultures and nations.<br><br><strong>Other:</strong>&nbsp; <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Theme - El Dorado by Two Steps from Hell</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiB98Wbsdlo</div></div><br><strong>Ons:</strong> Romance, Intimacy, Playful Kisses, Being the top towards women, rough sex, Passion, mutual masturbation, Mild non-consent.<br><strong>Offs:</strong> Poor hygiene, bathroom play, animals </div>

				<strong>Player:</strong> Juggtacular<br><strong>Character:</strong> Kain Valerian<br><strong>Origin Path:</strong> Human Noble<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Kain is not the largest person ever, but he's slightly taller than most and seems to fill the room with his presence. He stands at 6'2 and is well muscled and heavily defined at 210bs. This can be contributed to a life of combat and training. His eyes are brilliant, glowing gold(a result of a spell gone wrong). He has a thin scar (http://www.hollywoodnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/the-losers-idris-elba600x250.jpg) in the shape of a straight line over his right eye. It starts above the eyebrow and ends slightly below the cheek bone. He recieved it when a powerful Pride Demon possessed a mage during their Harrowing. He was lucky to survive. <br><br>Due to his Antivan/Orlesian heritage, his skin is a dark shade of brown, and he has a distinct accent that falls somewhere in the middle between the two dialects. He has a clan tattoo over the right half of his face that actually compliments and accentuates the scar. He has black hair that he used to have braided, but now keeps styled in a design (http://images.fandango.com/images/fandangoblog/Pacific-Rim-Idris-Elba-Cancel-Apocalypse_LG.jpg) popular among Orlesian nobles.<br><br>&nbsp;He decided that shorter was better as people tend to grab for anything they can in a fight(and he nearly had some of his hair ripped out in a bar fight once). He usually keeps his facial hair styled into a meticulously groomed goatee, demonstrating that the Orlesian in him has some powerful aspects...like maintaining his perfect image as much as he is able.<br><div align="center">(https://www.wodumedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Heimdall-Idris-Elba-in-THOR-from-Paramount-Pictures-and-Marvel-Entertainment.-Photo-credit-Zade-Rosenthal-Marvel-Studios-33.jpg)</div> <br><strong>Positon:</strong> Inquisitor<br><strong>Class:</strong> Mage/Knight-Enchanter<br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br>○Spirit - Barrier(Elegant Defense) &gt; Peaceful Aura &gt; Dispel(Transmute Magic)<br>○Storm - Chain Lightning &gt; Lightning Bolt&nbsp; <br>○Winter - Fade Step<br>○Knight-Enchanter - Spirit Blade(Defending Blade) &gt; Fade Cloak(Decloaking Blast) &gt; Combat Clarity &gt; Fade Shield &gt; Veiled Riposte &gt; Knight Protector &gt; Disruption Field(Stasis Lock)<br>○Inferno - Immolate<br><br><strong>Equipment:</strong> <br>Kain wears a heavy suit of mage armor crafted from Silverite and Fade-Touched Silverite he simply calls "Fade Touched". And atop his head he wears the fabled and iconic "Helm of the Inquisitor". He wields the Grand Enchanter's Staff, a powerful weapon that radiates pure cold. He's attached a Frost Rune to make his weapon even more powerful. As a Knight-Enchanter he also can summon a Spirit Blade, a fully functional sword made out of pure Fade energy. He wears a ring that increases his mana, another ring that increases his strength, a belt that increases his magic resistance, and an amulet that increases his wisdom. He also wears the signet ring of House Valerian, which signifies him as a high standing member of the family.<br><br><strong>Mount:</strong> Atriedes, a Light-Torn Steed (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141214183905/dragonage/images/d/df/NewEgg_Logitech_Light-torn_Steed.jpg)<br><br><strong>Favourite Gifts:</strong> Rare Liquor, Ancient Weapons, Books, Sexual Favors(he won't admit to that one)<br><strong>Hated Gifts:</strong> Flowers, Maps, Trinkets <br><strong>Backstory:</strong> Kain's story begins long before he was born. As he is Orlesian on his fathers side, and Antivan on his mothers, Kain's story starts over 150 years ago when the Valerian's and the Santiago's, very powerful noble houses from Orlais and Antiva began a fierce rivalry. The head of House Valerian, Maurice allegedly stole the intended bride of Amilio Santiago. The truth has been lost to the ages, but for over a century the houses feuded and constantly tried to one up or overthrow the other. Their power was too evenly matched and there was a stalemate of sorts. The houses were still openly at war, but would only attack from time to time if one felt they had an advantage.<br><br>&nbsp;It seemed like this would continue on forever without end, however fate seemed to have other plans. After the Inquisition became a power in Thedas once again, both houses sent letters to Skyhold asking for assistance against the other. Commander Cullen oversaw the situation and decided that since both Antiva and Orlais were so fond of deceit, trickery, and foul play, that an honorable competition would be the best way to solve the issue. He organized a tournament between the two houses, pitting the best of the best against each other. The winner of the tournament would win victory for his house, and restitution would be paid by the loser. <br><br>The competition was fierce and the tourney lasted three days. Finally the champions from each house were decided and faced each other. House Valerian's champion was Drake, a master of the arcane. He was known far and wide as one of the most powerful Orlesian mages of the era. Champion of House Santiago was Ariani, a petite woman with the strength of two men. The battle was intense, and despite the two powerhouses going at it for hours, neither could gain a definite advantage. Finally both went to strike a killing blow, ready to end the life of the other for honor and their house. Cullen stopped the contest before either could follow through however. <br><br>He said that it would be a shame for more lives to be lost over such a pointless dispute, especially two as valuable as Drake and Ariani. Instead he decided the duel was a draw. He explained that as it was a draw, the blood feud between the two houses was to be forgotten. But he knew it wouldn't be that easy, so he offered the blessing of the Inquisition and it's full backing in all matters if Drake and Ariani would marry, joining House Santiago and Valerian and making a powerful alliance between Orlais and Antiva. It was agreed and the two warriors married, surprisingly falling into true love. The couples son did not inherit his fathers magic, but he did inherit his mothers fighting spirit and skills, becoming a great warrior who joined the Inquisition as a way of repaying them for settling the feud between his two families.<br><br>&nbsp;That man is Laurentian, and he is Kain's father. Laurentian after joining the Inquisition quickly rose through the ranks due to a mix of high standing, natural talent, and charisma. He became a high ranking commander within the army, and remained so for several years until he met Theresa, an Antivan mage who fought for the Inquisition as well.(He didn't get his fathers magic, but he did inherit his taste in women) They married a few years later and had Kain. Kain was born with powerful magic coursing through his veins, but it was latent and he didn't show any actual arcane abilities until he was around thirteen. Because of this, everyone just assumed that like his father, magic had skipped his generation despite his grandfather <em>and</em> mother possessing the gift of magic. As a result, he was trained with the sword growing up, as his father was more than a little excited to have his son follow in his footsteps. <br><br>Until one day a boy who was two years his senior(his father liked to challenge him), began battering through his defenses with sheer strength. It was clear he had Kain on the ropes, and he panicked. The next strike from the boy never came though, as he was blasted away by an invisible force before he could land the final blow to decide the duel. Everyone was surprised, but the mages concluded that Kain had always had magic, just never been able to access it. It was a rare occurrence, but not unheard of. And him being in a frustrating and seemingly hopeless situation(even if it was just a training duel) allowed him to finally draw his powers to the surface. This newfound discovery meant that he had to begin his mage training immediately, as at his age he was very much a threat due to raw and uncontrolled power, as well as having no prior training meant that he was very susceptible to possession.<br><br>Mage training was incredibly different from normal fighting and challenged Kain like he never thought he would be. Impossibly long hours of nothing but studying. Learning proper breathing techniques and mental pictures for how to craft a spell into the world. Learning how to fight with a staff. It was grueling and he gained a new found respect for Mages as he lived and trained like one. But learning how to throw balls of fire, or create barriers...it was so surreal that the difficulty didn't matter. He just wanted to learn more. And learn more he did. From his mother, his grandfather, and the Inquisition's mages as well. He underwent years of training and had to work harder than most due to his fairly late start. It seemed to pay off though as he passed his Harrowing with flying colors and was officially titled as a Mage of the Inquisition on his twentieth birthday. As he was now officially a member of the Inquisition, he immediately went to work as a combat mage, fighting on the front lines when needed and in more specialized tasks when ordered.<br><br>He won many battles in the name of the Inquisition and even once traversed the Fade to save the Empress after a botched assassination attempt. This is and many other factors made him one of the top choices to become the next Inquisitor. When the position became available, a long debate was held, and finally it was decided that Kain would be the next leader of the Inquisition.<br><br><strong>Other:</strong> Despite their wealth and status, Kain's parents don't seem to behave like the stereotypical Orelesian or Antivan. They're humble, dedicated, and hard working. They both engage in the political necessities that come with power(like "The Game" for instance), but only because it's necessary. They've tried to pass these virtues onto their son, but like all mortals he is not perfect. In fact it's the opposite, and he is very flawed. He loses his temper, makes mistakes, misjudges people; some would even say he hits the bottle too often...everything you would expect from a normal person.<br><br>&nbsp;The only difference is he has to work harder at being better because his mistakes tend to have large consequences. Also due to his recently gained status as Inquisitor, his houses have decided that control of House Valerian and House Santiago shall revert to other family members for the duration of his service to the Inquisition as Inquisitor. Should he be relieved of the position or fall in battle, his position shall be reinstated(posthumously in the case of the latter). To put it simply, his family decided that he would have too much power and didn't like that as he and his parents had seemingly shown more loyalty to the Inquisition. So now he holds no true power within his house as a member. Only his title and status remain. When he got the letter, all he could think of was how "appropriate" it seemed. His immediate family seemed to be the exceptions to the rule.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Additional Pictures</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://24.media.tumblr.com/b256e165a4aae6977dc97167042e4489/tumblr_muf6jdyrWE1r6mt8go1_500.png)<br>(http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/57995/thor-heimdall.png)<br>(http://schmoesknow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Idris-Elba-in-Thor-The-Dark-World-2013-Movie-Image.jpg)&nbsp; <br>(http://i2.cdnds.net/13/27/618x347/movies-pacific-rim-robert-kazinsky-idris-elba_1.jpg)<br><br></div></div><br><strong>Ons:</strong> Seduction, Foreplay, Anal, Oral, Vanilla, Rough Sex, Public Sex(with a chance of getting caught)<br><strong>Offs:</strong> Blood, Gore, anything bathroom related, etc...<br><br><br>

Has a belt that allows him to carry more potions and such.<br><strong>Mount:</strong> Fereldan Forder<br><br><strong>Favourite Gifts:</strong> Secrets, Dalish artifacts, Ferelden related trinkets and keepsakes, Old maps and scrolls, Special Crafting Materials<br><strong>Hated Gifts:</strong> Darkspawn objects, most strong alcoholic beverages.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Backstory:</strong> <br><br>Little is known about Alec's past as he keeps it to himself, what little he does reveal is that he use to come from Ferelden and has no desire to return. He left due to what he calls a "Self imposed Exile" that happened shortly after the death of his wife who he refuses to answer and avoids questions about her.&nbsp; He often uses elf phrases when speaking and once refered to his wife as "emma lath" indicating she may have been of elvish origin. Alec joined up with the inquisition after the stories he heard of people starting over and creating new lives for themselves.<br><br>He joined the inquisition as little more then an Agent and was originally suppose to be stationed back in Ferelden as they believed he would fit in well as he came from there, after much hassle he was finally reassigned to Orlais moving all over the Orliesian empire depending on where his orders took him, the inquisition made him spy, steal, cheat and in some cases remove problems that would have grown larger. His effectiveness was what allowed him to be considered for the place of Senechal.<br><br>When came the time to replace the previous Senechal he did so and fit into the role with little difficulty, with the help of experienced agents he made sure that the transition was as smooth as possible with little problems with ongoing operations, so far Alec has only lost two agents, both of which he considers to be his responsibility and problem as he made a bad call. Alec would never admit it but he prefered being an agent rather then the Spymaster but does his job just as well as others could.<br><br><strong>Other:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Side image (http://i.imgur.com/TjifXvD.png) </div></div> <br><strong>Ons:</strong> Romance, love, kissing, playfulness, Vanilla.<br><strong>Offs:</strong> See mine.<br><br>

Wearing fur lined dark boots and massive worn hooded cape. He carries a a grim looking greatsword (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XNLN0YxEQJQ/TMsszaEnLnI/AAAAAAAAAJY/5F9OBymTDi0/s1600/frostmourne.jpg) in his back.<br><strong>Mount:</strong> Refuses mount on horses (becomes motion sick and fall, he becomes motion sick on carts too but he prefers cart ride over riding a animal)<br><br><strong>Favourite Gifts:</strong> Well cooked meats (boar, bear, fish, sausages, all well cooked/grilled and spiced up), dwarven ale, piece of nice ass (female ass)<br><strong>Hated Gifts:</strong> Flowers (any), Maps/Books, Guy proposition massage session<br><strong>Backstory:</strong> Arisehan was born to a <em>Tal-Vashoth</em> mother, who was a mercenary by trade. She raised Arisehan best as she could, as one way or another her return back to her homeland would had got her executed. But she none the less taught Qun, as she had not forsaken it like most <em>Tal-Vashoth</em> did. But because Arisehan was raised outside the society...he has no position, rank nor 'job' which he would had been trained at....so he was effectively nobody. In adult age he tried to join Qunaris but he was not accepted, he was outsider as he was born outside their breeding program and his name was not registered.<br><br>So thus shunned by culture which he was taught revere he embraced his existence as <em>Tal-Vashoth</em>, as that much he had for sure inherited from his mother who is alive and well working as bodyguard for a noble, a mage, in Telvinter Empire. Although since picking sword he has been alone, as mother made clear her duties for him ended once he could take care of himself. He himself picked odd job here and there, he had several times heard about Inquisition and about many <em>Tal-Vashoth</em> who had joined there.....so perhaps he finds some camaraderie in there and some place, to be <em>somebody</em>.<br><br><strong>Other:</strong> Any information you wish to include not detailed anywhere above.

				<strong>Player:</strong> Primarch<br><strong>Character:</strong> Ser Conor Stannard<br><strong>Origin Path:</strong> Human Commoner <br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br><div align="center">(http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxgeqtDBoP1r1f97jo2_r1_500.gif)</div><br><strong>Position:</strong> Commander<br><strong>Class:</strong> Warrior, Reaver<br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br><em>Two-Handed Warrior:</em> Block and Slash &gt; Flow of Battle &gt; Pommel Strike &gt; Guard Smasher &gt; Earthshaking Strike (Shattered Ground)<br><em>Battlemaster:</em> Grappling Chain (Give them the boot) &gt; Hamstring &gt; Deep Reserves &gt; Warhorn (Break their Spirit)<br><em>Reaver:</em> Ring of Pain &gt; Blood Frenzy &gt; Rampage &gt; Terrifying Fury &gt; Devour (Consume) &gt; Dragon-Rage (Ravage) <br><strong>Equipment:</strong><br>Conor wields a mighty greatsword, though good for cutting down any foe he comes across the Demon Slaying rune makes it particularly ideal for the Inquisitions demonic foes. His armour of choice is a suit of Heavy Warden Armour, though being crafted from Volcanic Aurum it is of significantly higher quality than the armour worn by the Wardens that originally joined the Inquisition. The Commander wears a pair of enchanted rings, one which makes his attacks strike all the harder while the other makes his foes bleed all the more terribly. His amulet boosts his constitution, making him a hardier foe and his belt protects his from fire, he's lost enough to that already. Upon his belt he carries potions to heal his wounds, plus a handful of the more slowly working regeneration potions, lastly he carries some Antivan Fire Grenade's. <br><br><strong>Mount:</strong> Inquisition Barded Charger (http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141117034541/dragonage/images/1/10/ArmoredMount.png)<br><br><strong>Favourite Gifts:</strong> Dwarven Whiskey, Cake, White Runestones, Silver stuff<br><strong>Hated Gifts:</strong> Chantry idols/scripture, Elvish junk, Gold stuff<br><strong>Backstory:</strong> <br>Conor has been Inquisition as far back as he can remember. His father was the stablemaster of Caer Bronach when he was a young boy. His father was stablemaster over in Caer Bronach and as a young lad Conor was his little helper. They were long days and often hard, but it was what he grew up knowing. When he was a young man he got involved in patrol duties, started work as a guardsman before his father called in a few favours and made arrangements for the boy to become a squire. Truth be told he was a pretty terrible squire, he was a big lad so hitting something with his sword was fine and he knew how to sort out a camp fire, but he was a shadow in ways Ser Brennan didn't want. Couldn't he fuck a pig farmers daughter in peace?<br><br>By the time he was a Knight in his own right things had turned around considerably. One of the worst squires the Inquisition had ever seen became a Knight of no small talent. He was handsome and charming, strong and brave. He was popular with the lads and enjoyed the attention of many a dreamy eyed young maid. When he was 26 Conor was part of a four man team sent to deal with a High Dragon that had made its lair a bit too close to Griffon Wing Keep. It took them a week to track the bastard thing down and the fight was no joke. Bards would sing songs of how glorious and heroic it was, Conor remembers a mage shitting his pants and a very great deal of fire. The young Knight dealt the killing blow himself but suffered for it. The dragon fire burned his flesh beyond what any magic could heal. Half his face was ruined and most of the shoulder on the same side. For weeks after he was tormented by dreams of dragonfire, his reflection was a constant and hideous reminder. Suffice to say it made him a little bitter. <br><br>Conor pushed through the experience by diving into more and more missions, after a few years he had killed one of everything there is to kill. The Inquisitor at the time knew his current Commander only had a handful of years left in him so it was time to start looking for a replacement. Before long Conor was working directly with the Commander as his right-hand and aide. It became his responsibility to turn green as grass peasants into hardened fighters, he was a brutal taskmaster but he whipped them into shape. Soon the more complex parts of Command were falling to his responsibility, assigning troop movements and sorting out supply lines. Conor was formally appointed the Military Commander of the Inquisition at 30 years old, in the sixteen years since he's become a venerable military man. His Command is strict and unforgiving, slackers don't last for one reason or another. He's feared as much as he is respected, but he holds a great deal of respect. When push comes to shove he leads by example and there's no task he puts upon a man that he hasn't done himself. <br><br>Some of the men have come to calling him 'Ole'Burnface,' one made the mistake of letting him hear it. Legend has it on a clear night you can still hear him running laps around the battlements. <br><br><strong>Other:</strong> Conor has one child, a girl of seventeen. Her Mother was a new arrival in Skyhold, she had just started work in the tavern. Sadly she was frail in some ways and did not survive the birthing bed. The girl lis quite the opposite to her father, gentle and sweet where he is tough and fierce. Conor has done his best to do right by her and protect her from the world at large. That being said some of the squires and young Knights have a running bet on who will break in that pony. The guards have a running bet on who Conor will hang first for trying. <br><strong>Ons:</strong> <br><strong>Offs:</strong>
