Greetings!
Hello to everyone! I'm one of the latest to join this rpg, so I'll introduce myself briefly :) I'm a big fan of anything to do with rpgs, whatever kind (DND, MMORPGs, etc) but it's been a while since I've been involved in anything like this.
My character is Ashya, a companion character. She's a young mage fresh out of her Harrowing, only fifteen but looking a handful of years older. She's spent all her life with the Chantry and Mages and knows nothing of the outside world except what they've taught her.
A lively and vivacious child, she was well known to everyone in the tower because no amount of scolding seemed to dampen her spirit and was well liked by almost everyone. When not playing pranks on Tranquil, or pestering templars she could normally be found creating mischief with other apprentices. She thinks there is no finer sight in the world than a templar in full armor, and has never been shy about proclaiming it.
However, her Harrowing - though successful - seems to have changed her. No longer bubble and cheerful, she's turned somewhat moody and solitary, although this is due to more than just the Harrowing. She accidentally found out that she's the daughter of everyone's favourite blood mage (mine, anyway) Jowan and Lily. She even looks very much like her father, although her heritage has been kept mostly secret from anyone who did not know Jowan himself.
Long story short, she's recklessly following her father's footsteps, at least with regards to blood magic, and has already dabbled in it. However, she's managed to get permission to accompany the mages planning to become Grey Wardens to aid them in their task, although she has no wish to sign away her limited freedom to the Grey Wardens.
Whether she'll revert to her cheerful carefree self or let her anger and resentment eat away at her remains to be seen.
And as a last note...I am thoroughly enjoying reading everyone's bios, I look forward to playing with you all, and can't wait till the game starts! I'd especially like to talk to any players with characters originating from the tower, since they'll start out knowing each other at least superficially, having lived together for so long.
