Salutations Exsilium members!

I'm an Alex and I'm new here. With me I bring Fiona from the series Dragon Age! If you are wondering why you might have never heard of her it's because thus far she's been a novel-only character. (Although DA:III looks MIGHTY promising because herpderp Asunder. /Excite!) And yes, this shall be my PB for her. Yous have no idea how difficult it was to find enough icons of a similar looking person who had their ears consistently covered.

Right so a bit about her, she's an elf and a mage and a Grey Warden (What a whammy). Personality wise she's honest, blunt, sarcastic, and holds little respect for authority figures. She hates nobility (for good reason, mind yous) and she is more than willing to express her dislike loudly. But she can be friendly! Gain her trust and she'll be your loyal ally. Within reason, of course.

Anyways! I'm taking her post-epilogue of The Calling. So really, right after she drops off a certain bundle of joy for Maric to deal with (Mother of the year over here) and rides off into the sunset, more or less.

I am dumb excited to play here and nervous,
ヽ(；▽；)ノ but mostly excited. If anyone wants to add me on plurk it's

aleeeeeeex. I'm in the funky GMT +8 time zone I'm afraid, so I rely on plurk heavily.

Thank you very much! I can't wait to get started playing here. Crap I wrote a lot.

Grey Warden mage? Sarcastic? Little respect for authority? Nope she has nothing in common with Anders at all Hello there :D

I am Gazebo and I play this cat-loving, Chantry-attacking mage over here. Welcome, thrilled to have you, and I'll go add you on plurk now!

Asunder spoilers-> Actually! 30 years from her timeline she becomes Grand Enchanter and picks up where Anders left off, shattering the Circle. Nyuknyuknyuk. But that IS old lady Fiona. This one wants nothing to do with the Circle.

Thank you for the welcome! And it's great to meet you. I'll add you back as sooon as I'm not in class. Huuurrrr.

Oh Anora is going to love her.

And by love I mean the total opposite.

MEANWHILE I AM TOTALLY GOING TO LOVE THIS HI I'm Sam and I think I'm probably going to add you on plurk. I've been tempted to read the novels though I've heard...things about Gaider's prose.

Oh, hello!

I'm Lettie, I play some jerk here ... but you probably don't want CR with him. ;)

They can keep a kind distance, probably. Or as muh as we're willing to give them, am I right?

Read them, I hiiighly recommend it. Especially Asunder, it has such a HUGE impact on the series. And supposedly the 3rd game has everything to do with it. Puts non-readers in a pickle. But don't worry about Gaider, he's a little indecisive and a bit of a lying leg puller (Silent Grove's plot TT_TT;) but still worth reading.

But yes, Hi Sam! Nice to meet you, and I am going to enjoy this so very much as well. :D Eeeee excite excite!

To be honest I'm a little scared of him! So many ??? But a lot of ... Pointed fingers, I guess. If I'm making sense. But this WILL be interesting, that's for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing how this fairs. And it is very good to meet you, Lettie!

Well Lord knows I'm going to at least shove her at Fiona until we can find the right footing their potential CR. But yes I'm excite this game needs all the Thedas peeps.

I guess I'll look into the novels then. I mean, I've already looked over their wiki pages...well, at least The Stolen Throne's for the sake of the Loghain stuff (my bias...it's showing tremendously) but if what goes on in Asunder is going to be brought up in the third game then...sob I guess I'll eventually give you more of my money, Gaider.

But yesssss your excitement excites me >3

We were thinking of having a Grey Warden meeting soonish (Nathaniel Howe, Anders, and Alistair are all aware of one another's presence and Warden-ness ... Wardenosity ... Wardentastic taint). This could make a good excuse to bring Fiona into contact with Alistair if she wouldn't be inclined to seek him out on her own!

I don't actually think Alistair is terribly aware of anything, and I haven't read the books! But. We shall see!

S-She might try to avoid him, actually. But that doesn't mean I'm against throwing her about, I'm all up for a Wardenly meeting.

Anders: *blissfully clueless* *mostly concerned with making sure there is lots of food at any Warden meetings*

Myself, I've skimmed a bit of Asunder and intend to read more of the books, but have been pretty well spoiled for the contents, so spoilers are fine by me. This Anders has been through all of DA2 and, since he didn't get killed at the end, he's outlived his usefulness to the mage cause — alas, no martyrdom! He's fairly well accepted this, and plans to go back to Vigil's Keep with Nathaniel if they ever get back to Thedas.

Agreed, let's DO this. Euhuehueh~

Stolen Throne was probs the most dull of the 3, I think. We lost our army! We gained an army! Omg giant spiders... Blah blah blah. I could always tell you what happens, but that's not nearly as entertaining. Up to you?

And our excitement shall join forces and be one large excitement... Ball of EXCITE!!

He shouldn't..... Be. Duncan's the only one who coulda' ratted out the topic, and he obvs didn't so! But yes, we shall seeeee~ :) But yes still so much excitement eeeeeee

\o/!

That is a GOOD thing to be concerned about. And Fiona might just help him out with snack food if only because it makes for a great distraction. But, nah. If possible, the topic might be avoided entirely. That'd be nice.

So long as you're okay with the spoilers... I avoided taking Fiona from ending!Asunder because of the spoilers. (And hell if I could find an old lady!Fiona PB. Hufff) I am almost disappointed I chose to avoid it now. Nnngh. Well, almost.

HAHAHAHAHA. I can picture the entire Keep face palming at his entrance. I really want to see this now.

Anders has zero clue about Alistair's parentage other than "apparently he's King Maric's son, or someone thought he looked the part enough to make him a feasible prospect for the succession, anyhow". Also, Alistair is his ~king~ who backed up the Warden in using the Rite of Conscription to keep Anders out of Templar hands, so Anders has some warm fuzzy feelings for Alistair besides the matter of Warden brotherhood. In short, he won't rock the Theirin-bastard boat.

Having a young!Fiona will be cool because it allows for more boggling over timeline differences. Anders and Nathaniel are aware that they are about seven or eight years in the future, compared to Alistair and Anora. (This has also kept discussion of the DA2 endgame off the table, since it hasn't happened yet for Alistair and Anora.)

Hahaha Anders fully expects to be persona non grata at Vigil's Keep - his suggestion was that he should wear a wig and pretend to be a mentally disabled distant cousin of Master Wade or something.

Fair enough~

Yeah, future's one thing, adding someone from the past by like 20-30 years is... another. She's got a lot of "catching up" to do. OH THE INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS TO BE HAD~

Bah, it's the Wardens. They might be on edge and a bit on the shun-side at first but they'll warm back up to Anders within no time. It's ridiculous how "understanding" they can be, sheesh. But he should still wear a wig, if only for the humor. :)

They have to warm up to him for the entertainment value he brings if nothing else. No one can lose a drinking contest like Anders~

Hello there! I'm Alec and this is Teijirou Takegami from the Jdrama Mr. Brain which is a tv show about a neurologist solving crimes. Takegami himself is a flirt with a killer dental plan and a hobby involving killing people and eating them.

Welcome to the game! Also, have a gif:

Clearly THAT should be the second Grey Warden meeting. A drinking contest. What do you think?

Pleasure to meet you Alec! And thank you for the welcome. Odear, a flirt. Might not sit well with Fiona, but hey! It could make for great threading. Takegami seems entertaining if not very unique. I can't wait. :)!

And Omygoodnesstheamountofmakeuponthatman.

Well, he lists his former job as being a host so he does have that going for him.

As for the actor, he may wear make up all the time practically, but he's not too bad at all:

Thaaaaaaaat's good, at least.

I admittedly read his tattoo as KFC at first. Oops.

I thought that's what he was saying at first too, but now, his band is YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz, though he has done joke shoots where he is stealing the KFC mascot from the store front.

Gackt is a silly man at times. XD

Nice to meet you Alex! I'm Nym :D A fellow newbie!

I play these guys:

Troy Barnes from Community, pretendtosleep
and
Haymitch Abernathy from The Hunger Games, teamspirits

my plurk's rockswithewoks! Adding you, and welcome :D

What on earth, Japanese. I'm really not surprised. But still.

HAHA. Yes. Silly is one way of putting it.

HIIIIIII NYM! Nice to meet you and thank you for the welcome.

AH! Troy is fabulous. That's so exciting to see him played here. :)!

Noted aaand friended back.

It's actually a side project involving an American singer as well as himself and three guitar players and a bass player and a drummer. Usually Gackt is doing things solo with his backup band GACKTJob. He is a rather famous singer/actor/model over there.

But anyways, hope you enjoy the game ~~i tend to go on about him cuz of my slight problem with collecting not!Gackt characters. oops.~~

I've managed to have heard of him, but it was ... a long time ago. He seemed pretty cray cray back then, if I recall correctly. I've lost track of him since though.

I am SURE I will. ~~No worries, it is ~educational~ and interesting to hear, all the same.~~

He's like a fine wine - with age, comes even more flavor to add to the taste buds.

OH! Did you know that the Dragon Age CG anime not only has a theme song written and preformed by him, but he also provides the voice for one of the characters?

Oboooooooooooooooooy.

I have not heard that! Which character is he voicing?

The movie is Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker and he is the Knight-Commander.

Knight Commander... Martel? :|a

Yup, I believe that's who it is. Some old guy with a beard... so totally not his normal type.

Whoa. Definitely not what I would expect from him. I am almost tempted to watch the Japanese version now. Almost.

Same here, but maybe it's a dying thing. He seems to enjoy dying in a lot of his acting roles.

Hello fellow new person! :> I'm Bird, and I play this OC here. It's nice to meet you, and dear cod I need to get into Dragon Age.

My plurk is preussisch_blau; is it okay if I add you~?

He must be talented at acting out a dying scene then. Hah. I suppose you wouldn't know if the role was a request by the creators or his own choice, would you? It'd be interesting to know.

HI NEW PERSON, BIRD! It's very nice to meet you, too. And Dear fish, yes you reeeeaaally do. :) BUT FAIR WARNING: it absorbs free time in a fashion similar to that of a black hole. But do not let that discourage you, it is a wonderful feeling. Black hole absorption and all that.

Yes, of course you may!

Maybe. In Mr. Brain, he's hung. In Tempest, he is tossed off a cliff, in the Gundam series, I believe he is trapped in space, and he is always dying in his videos. I'm not sure, although I do know that a lot of studios thinks he's pretty good as a voice actor, though he can be a perfectionist.

Either that, or when he went to put the show's theme song together, they asked him if he had time for a little extra work.

Oh dear, that might be a problem. Perhaps I should wait until after end of term, if it is the black hole of free time. : |a But it looks so interesting...

/solves problem by stalking entire DA cast here in the meanwhile

I'd call those death acting experiences well-rounded but that seems a bit... odd.

Thaaat sounds logical enough.

He's sort of fascinated by dying, I think. He nearly died himself a couple of times and he just seems drawn to that.

It's a good song too :3

I could advise a yes to that idea. But! You could start with the first two books! They are pre-Origins and have LOADS of precious back-story that is unfortunately overlooked far too often. It would also help connect some dots when you managed to get a hold of the games. Lot's of dots, even. And your free time wouldn't be terribly absorbed either. Probably.

That is a decent substitute, however. I encourage it.
