PLOTS: Grey Wardens new and old, potential recruits and conscripts, Templars to dislike or (surprise!) not, A noble to knock heads with, city elves to rile up about why they continue to accept shame and servitude, drinking buddies, roll-in-the-hay buddies (warden life is too short, m’kay?) and I'd particularly like her to have a local mage friend to trade magical goodness with and further develop her Magic vs. Political opinions. The more complex the situation, the better.SER CORMAC MARTIN - Human Warrior | Templar and Guardian the_threnodies A half-elven Van Markham bastard pawned off to one of the family's human servants to rear as her own in exchange for a raise, Cormac grew up knowing that he was a burden. Even if he hadn't been a fairly tender-hearted kid, that would have stung. He has over-compensated for most of his life, which has yielded a track record of selflessness, Herculean levels of devotion to whichever tasks he undertakes and a near monklike capacity for self-denial as an adult. Being good all the time is exhausting, though. His frustration sometimes boils over in mouthiness, black sarcasm and occasional dishonesty, a thinly-veiled skepticism of the Maker, and a steadily escalating lyrium addiction he’s trying to hide. He’s had fair success so far. That may not last if he keeps sneaking off to shady Carta establishments in his off-duty leave hours to score blackmarket takes. Cormac has been a Templar for ten years. Despite the hang ups, he’s actually very good at his job and believes in the Templars’ purpose, even if he doubts the Maker’s involvement. He doesn't think of Mages as lesser people, even the elves, whom he sympathizes with more than most. Fire magic puts him on edge more than the other accepted specialities. In short;
PLOTS: Templar frands and rivals, a local city kid he grew up with, circle mages he gets along with, one in particular whom he clashes with for undecided reasons, some local thugs and greased palms he may have grown up with in the lower class slums and has tried to shake off with mixed results, Carta or blackmarket smugglers with lyrium hookups, nobles who may know or have heard rumors about who he is. Bonus points if he can be used as a pawn in any meaty vendettas or blackmail plots at some point, etc.
