Hello, I am new here and my name is Dana. I wanted to toss up an intro sooner rather than later, but I am feeling a tad under the weather (perhaps going out was not the best idea). Anyway, I am 24 now birthday was yesterday, and I am Canadian. I am currently in my final year of an accounting degree. First time venturing into a Dragon Age theme game.

I am bringing to the game, a dwarf Grey Warden by the name of Orya Hargan, she is a Rogue. A quick summary of what she is like, is that she is stern, stubborn, and independent. She rationalizes most of her actions, and does not like it when people question her actions. On the other hand she will be opinionated and comment on your actions. She is find with agreeing to disagree. She is defensive and this usually leads to arguments against others who don't wish to back down, as Orya does not back down because of pride and her stubbornness. She is guarded and doesn't let people in easily. I could probably go on and on, but then it is not really a summary. She has been living on the surface since she was five, and was born in Orzammar in the servant caste. Her father is of the warrior caste. She lived in Denerim and left there when she was seventeen travelling and finding work when she could. At nineteen she returned to Denerim but did not stay long before joining two human Rogues, whom she stayed with for almost three years when the job they were on was botched. She ended up in prison where she was given the opportunity to become a Grey Warden and took it. At the end of 9:44 she became a Grey Warden, and was in Redcliffe in the Village. A more detailed account of her history and personality is here.

I am pretty easy going when it comes to plot, and the like, so I am open to anything. I am looking forward to having Orya join in.

Hi Dana! I'm Niki and I'm one of the mods! Sorry it took me a few days to get to this but welcome to the game :) It's wonderful to have another dwarf in the ranks. I think Signy was probably getting a bit lonely.

As far as character interaction goes I have three to play with Orya at some point. This is Lillie and she's a mage, Spirit Healer, former prostitute. She spent the last fifteen years living in Rivain and has recently returned, pledging her service to the Wardens thanks to a series of events that exposed her as an apostate. She's sweet and generally thinks the best of people, giving them the benefit of the doubt, and gets along with most everyone.

I also have [info]imenry who is a Warrior Reaver from the mountains in the south. She's blunt and Orya and she have stubbornness as one quality in common. It is possible that this might cause them to butt heads at some point. Imenry is very different from most Fereldan's so she appreciates dwarves with their less conversion based faith and their respect for warriors.

Lastly I have her fellow Warden [info]d_gallagher Declan, who is a former guard of Vigil's Keep, before that a guard at Amaranthine. He spent all his life in the area, has family nearby, and tends to be protective of those around him. He considers it his duty to keep people safe. Because she's been a Warden for a while there's definitely the potential for the two of them to know each other from the Keep, and have had interaction. I'm usually up for scenes :) Even if I'm slower now that I have a job. So feel free to reply or hit me up on AIM any time!

Hi! And not a problem about taking a few days, I have been studying for my midterm.

I think Orya will like Lillie, until she does something to really bother her but that is really all based upon interaction. Orya may be a tad wary that she an apostate.

Imenry and Orya will probably buttheads but she definitely respects her being a warrior and all. I am sure there will be plenty of opportunity for them to butt heads.

Declan is someone Orya will like and will be respectful of.

If you ever want to scene with Orya also hit me up on AIM or e-mail or anything.

Hey! It's always lovely to see another Grey Warden in the game. My name is Hughes and I'm one of the mods here. Sorry that it's taken so long to comment on your intro, completely my fault, I got all caught up in a new hobby. Anyway, please feel free to hit me up on my aim at HughesH4Hercules or email at HughesH4Hercules@gmail.com

I'm on the MST, having just moved to New Mexico to go to graduate school, but I keep long hours, so I hope we get a chance to chat!

I play another Grey Warden here, Genikon Zealas, late of Nevarra. He's something of a background personality, the type that doesn't really stand out except for being a bit of an oddball. He's very skilled with a bow though, having been raised by the Dalish rather than in the Alienages, and a Warden of five years now. He has a stammer and doesn't talk much, but he's exceptionally polite, so I think him and Orya would get on well.

Brennan Wulfe is another of my characters, he's a human from a Dragon Worshiping clan of a branch of the Avvar (long broken off branch) in the Gamordian Peaks. He's very vivacious, always ready with a joke and a grin. He is also fiercely loyal and friendly, although it does take a while for him to actually upgrade those he knows from acquaintances to friends. He was also at the battle of Redcliffe, so they could have met before or after the battle, certainly they would have had a chance to talk!

Kore Asena is my last character, she's a semi-former assassin from Tevinter and current slave and bodyguard to Ariadne Notaras. She's pretty cold to those who are not ... well at this point of the game, it's pretty much anyone who isn't Ariadne, although she has a great deal of respect for Lu. She'll be respectful because of the status difference between the two of them, and a bit more so for Orya than others because she is a dwarf, but that's about it.

I really hope to come up with at least one story line with you, if not more! Don't be afraid to hop in chat, we don't bite. Just be wary of the occasional Desire Demon!

Hello! And not a problem just gave me time to study.

I agree, I think Genikon and she would get along well. I think she would have admiration for his bow skills.

Brennan I think for a real judge as to how they will get along will need to be seen through tossing them together. I could see him both annoy her and amuse her.

I think Kore and Orya will probably fine if they were to interact.

And thanks! I will try and jump into chat in the near future.

Hello and welcome to the game! I think Orya seems marvellous and I'm so looking forward to playing with you. :D

My name's Jo, I'm also a mod, I live in Sweden and therefore keep odd hours compared to everyone else, but I hope to run in to you in chat sometime! Oh, and I have three characters here.
The first is this one, Jill Sorrel, a former horse messenger who now works for the Grey Wardens. She is the total tomboy, tends to say what she means and be unintentionally rude a lot, but she will adore Orya anyway and ask a lot of questions. She has known a few dwarves before, so there will be talk of brontoes and stuff. Beware...

Then I have Elsa Zerbino Vargas, a mage with amnesia (she has really fled from the tower in Orlais) who won't be very nice if she doesn't think Orya can be of any use to her.

And finally, Emil Asmundr who is a Grey Warden from the Anderfels. He isn't very social, but he respects any good Warden and fighter, and he has a soft spot for blondes, so he'll probably like Orya. He didn't arrive in Ferelden until recently, but there might be backscene material here.

Again, welcome to the game, I think this is going to be a blast!!

I think I have played with you briefly in another game, RM?

I think Jill might drive Orya a little mad at times with questions, but she will try to be polite and answer them the best she can. As long as they don't get too personal, Orya will answer without complaint.

I am not sure if she can be of any use to Elsa, but we shall see.

And as Orya is pretty ood with Grey Wardens, she will be nice to Emil. And any sort of scene potential is good for me.

Thanks for the welcome.

Hi Dana! My name is Kelsey and I play an Alienage rogue/Grey Warden named Lalin and a Tevinter mage named Ariadne, who's slave/body guard/companion you've already been introduced to.

Ariadne probably wouldn't have much interaction with her, considering their pasts. Ari's been in Tevinter for most of her life and has only recently been traveling about the rest of Thedas. I don't think these two would fight (often) but I don't think they would be besties either. Ari's a bit too.... snooty, to put it lightly. And she only really trusts and respects people that are either (most) other mages, Tevinter, or Kore.

Lalin would have probably had a good deal of interaction with her, considering they're both Wardens and rogues. She was the student of famed Denerim assassin Black Matthew (check out his character page!) and worked with a major Alienage gang (as well as slept with their leader <_<). She was never an assassin, but she was a thief. Her cheerful personality may get on Orya's nerves, though. I'd love to put these two in a scene together! I have to add to the suggestion to get into chat! We're very welcoming, I promise!

Hi Dana! I'm Ashfae. Pleasure to meet you and apologies for taking so long to welcome you to the game! =)

I only have one character here, an elf shapeshifter named [info]dar_prethan. She's part of the Mage's Collective, fairly sweet and curious by nature, tends to be quiet and reserved when she's unsure of her situation/how much danger she might be in (being an apostate leads to paranoia, it seems!), but when she is comfortable will talk a great deal and ask endless questions. I don't think we can have any back-threading between the two unless you wanted to start something from *just* before all the various groups leave on their quests but I definitely look forward to playing with you in the future!
