"Alright, time for some serious dragonage."

"No, no, I think it's actually two words..."

"Aw."

Don't know the game beyond what I see on The Escapist, but I'll look it up.

Dragon age is from the same ppl as Mass effect so the 2 games are similar the 2nd one more so. So basically think Medevil Mass Effect.

[BOSS]Asreal · Nuisance

I never got to play mass effect either.... :(

[BOSS]Fenix · RP Expert

Ah, you should have, Mass Effect was good :)

I've been wanting to try a character study for a while now, see if I can write a good character turning evil and make it believable. Would there be any scope for something like that?

[BOSS]Asreal · Nuisance

Yes it looked amazing, and I would have loved to play it but was saving money for something slightly more important :)

Name - Tylore
Age - Mid 20s-ish
Race - Human
Class - Mage (Apostate) - Specialization - Elemental, Arcane, Force
Hometown - Kirkwall
Family - Father (Tranquil)
Mother (Alive)
Qwen ( sister Missing Malificar)

Background - Tylore was born in Lowtown in Kirkwall. Tylore's father was a mage who escaped the Mage Circle in Kirkwall where the mages have it tough due to the strict Templars there, hiding in Lowtown Tylores father met Tylores mother and soon started a family. A few years after the birth of his younger sister Qwen, Tylores father was discovered by the Templars and accused of using blood magic. Due to surrending peacefully he was granted mercy and made Tranquil a fate proberly worse than death.
When Tylore and Qwen started showing signs of magic aswell the Templars were quick to react and immediatly sought the two out, fearing the Kirkwall Templars Tylore and Qwen quickly went into hiding and with the help of there fathers friend boarded a ship to Ferelden with intentions of joining the mage Circle there where Mages are granted more freedom and the Templars less strict.
However on route the ship was attacked by Slavers and Tylore and Qwen were captured. The Slaver ship docked at Ferelden to pick up more slaves a group of Dalish elves, the night before they were to be shipped to Tevinter a demon approached Tylore and Qwen in the fade and offered to help them escape, Tylores will was strong and refused the demons help however Qwens fear of being a slave was too great and excepted the demons help. By using Blood magic Qwen killed their captores and immediatly fled offering Tylore to come with her, he refused accusing his sister of becoming an abomination and the two parted ways.
Tylore travelled with the captured elves back to there camp where the keeper reluctantly agreed to train him in magic provided after his training was complete he would leave.
His training complete Tylore left the Dalish elves and became a wanderer searching for his sister.

Yeah, I could work my character's arc into that as I was thinking that Blood Magic could be the vector for their "fall" as well. Depending on whether you want to redeem Tylore's sister or not it could be her that convinces him to start using it.

Do you only learn Blood Magic off of demons or could you learn from, say, the journal of another blood mage?

For example first you kill an evil Blood Mage and learn his secrets out of curiosity / trying to find its weaknesses, but vow never to use them...

Then in a desperate fight you find yourself out of mana and have to use Blood Magic for self defence, but vow to only use your own...

Then in another fight you are badly wounded and too weak to use your own blood, and so you use the blood of a mortally-wounded friend nearby, because they were going to die anyway...

I guess it would b possible. The thing is in Thedas (where dragon age is set) Blood magic is so rare it can only really be learnt from a demon but thats only in Dragon Age Orgins where you have to unlock it by making a deal with a demon, The same goes for the warrior classification Reaver. But in Dragon Age 2 you can specialize in it once u hit level 7 or 14 no deal needed. So yeh go for it.

She would most likely convince him to use blood magic she is pretty much beyond redemption firmly in the demons grasp.

Also gonna make a 2nd character card soon. A Templar!

Name - Charlene
Age - Mid 20ish
Race - Human
Class - Warrior - Specializaton - Templar (rookie), Guardian
Hometown - Haven't got a name
Family - Mother (Deceased)
Father (Deceased)
Brother (Deceased)

Background - Charlene was born and raised in a small farming town, Charlenes parents where both farmers and led a rather uneventual life. However all that charged one day when Charlenes home down was attacked by a demon possessed Blood Mage or an abomination. Having no Defence the town was massacred.
Charlene watched in horror as the abomination used blood magic to take control of Charlenes parents mind and had them kill her younger brother. Charlene narrowly escaped the same fate and managed to hide and watched on as the abomination harvested the dead towns people for a large blood ritual.
It was then the Templars arrived all too late the save town, after a tough battle the Templars managed to kill the abomination and found Charlene being the soul survivor. She was immediatly taken to the Chantry to raised amougst the sisters but Charlene had other intentions and wanted to become a Templar.
During the Templar training Charlene proved herself to be highly skilled in swordsmanship and seemed to pick up the Templar abilities quickly driven purely by what she witnessed at her hometown.
Charlene eventually passed the Templar initiation being one of the top rookies and became a full fledged Templar. However being one the few female Templars felt she had to prove her place and so after picking up on a rumor of powerful Malificar set out on her own to hunt it down.

Haha I take it the Malificar she's hunting ends up being Tylore's sister?

I like this - plus it gives you extra ammunition to try and justify it to yourself: "I didn't make a pact with any demon to learn this Blood Magic, I'm not corrupted!"

Yeh she is. To complicate stuff, thinking of having her a love interest although him being an apostate and she a templar complicates things enough never mind his sister being a malificar.
