You know, with the restrictions imposed, you have literally just made our characters for us. Also, you're following a storyline already made - Meaning we cannot do whatever we please in the RP. We're stuck on this one path, and you can't change it.

Sorry, had to nitpick. But all in all, making an RP about a story already made and not setting it around 20+ years later is a bad idea. For the simple fact that you are always doing what happened in the game or whatever it was. I mean like, for everyone. I know Dragon Age is a franchise.

So, just some pointers there. You really don't want to make so many roles though. Nine times out of ten, they won't get filled, and with the fact you have picked our Surnames from the game and the like, our backstories, personalities and age are all severely effected by that one surname. You need to let people have creativity and decide who they want to be without guidance. Sometimes it helps, but when it's precise like this, Nope.

Okay, Rant over.
I guess that makes me the LUCKY one.

Thats not exactly true actually. Yes roles are specific but that doesn't exactly mean the character is made. You choose what the character is among/from the explanation and if you're creative you can expand on that little brief introduction for your history.(There wasn't anything other then a race a brief idea of what was going on that describes who your character is and by that i mean personality, beliefs, etc.) How the story plays out is specifically upon the actions people take as they play their roles, Hell one of the Grey Wardens could try to betray the others or so. Instead of one Grey Warden choosing how the actions that are given. Its more so that they have the freedom to say/do more. Also All in all a story could be layed out and plotted but its not fully said. Eventually all stories need a full plot to a ending and thats just what the players of a roleplay does. Perhaps YOU yourself do not enjoy fit roles in which you choose to play among a role but not EVERYONE is like that and some people may like full flexibility but just a heads up. You can look at it generally and maybe think its pretty straight forward and we'll be following one path but when you think of everyone including the six wardens chosen when you're left at the events of Ostagar. Where perhaps oh one Warden is rebellious and decides to go his own way for awhile or perhaps there is a little twist in which the human of cousland leaves immediately to kill howe or so.

Basically this type of RP is moreso a "What if" - where as what if six wardens were chosen, instead of game limitations, how would the story conclude? Who among the story would be killed completely. What kind of character progression might occur with six wardens? Honestly i think there is ALOT of fanfic material that one if better three people or more could do with this. Some events that really matter may be the same but actions and story could definately be twisted around.

Honestly I think you must see beyond a general perception before ranting on. Overall If this isn't your type of RP or you don't like the direction its going or perhaps you're thinking too general on the topic, just move on.

Would it be possible to begin with a later learned specification such as Blood mage or Ranger if an explanation is given, im considering a Arcane warrior elf if that would be allowed.

Yeah you can have specs at the beginning but for Blood Magic remember its forbidden and against the law so if you're choosing to reserve the Magi you'll just have to explain how you manged to be a blood mage without the circle finding out.

Hello!

I love DragonAge: Origins.


I was wondering if it would be possible for me to reserve the Human Noble spot?

I can reserve it, know I'm constructing the rules but i will need you to post between 2 days and take the character very seriously follow all rules when they are made.

I am thinking that each of us will take on one of the companion roles so we don't have to wait and fill the others and its less work from me to be the npc of all side companions that we may pick up.
