Name: Ventus Mortem

Race: Elf

Age: 23

Appearance: Slightly pale, yet soft, defined features with almost friendly looking golden eyes, jet black hair kept short compliments his features. Ventus has a lean and slightly toned body overlaid with black leather armor and a threadbare and tattered cloak.

Class: Mage- Arcane Warrior

Role: Warden Recruit

History: Once on the run for a few killings in a large city, both Ventus and his sister came to rest at what they thought was a small village. After finding out what the place was they signed as recruits, hoping to get paid.
Everything else is good save for the class. Only Mage or Rogue sorry. If you can decide on which then we're good to go! Although as a mage, I assume Ventus would be a city elf (?) he'd probably be from one of the Circles.
I'll go for Mage, as you can see I've changed it.
all right, just a bit more clarification then if he's a mage. Are the siblings Dalish or is Ventus from a Circle? Circle wise, he'd be a lot more restricted. It's possible if your characters are from a Dalish background.

Clans do get wiped or attacked at times for them to run, or if a clan has too many mages, the mages can get sent away, such in the case of Minaeve. Mind you the lore gets fuzzy there so we can wing things.
Quote:
Minaeve was born into a Dalish elf clan, at the age of seven she was cast out into the wilderness after displaying magical ability as the Dalish clans keep a limit on mages to avoid attracting too much attention. Shaken and malnourished she eventually came upon a human village, but when the humans discovered her using magic to repel woodland predators, they attempted to kill her.
Actually, he was taught by mages from his family's bloodline, as was Umbra, but in the arts of a rogue.
The trouble with DA lore is generally how they handle mages. It hasn't been good for them and most mages in the city, are usually carted off to the circle where they are raised and trained from when they see their magic manifest.

Short of being a noble human, most mages suffered greatly and weren't that much privileges or interactions with their families.

Given the racism that was against elves it would be unlikely they'll be family bloodline trained unless they're Dalish... or the family has somehow avoided capture from the templars, I.e, hiding in the Korcari wilds for a long time enough to develop their skills / hiding in a far off land away from templars.

Just trying to work out how the background you have in mind for them would fit into DA lore
Right! I forgot the Wilds were in play, well, given that their family is a long line of assassins it would fit.
all right so history wise...

Family of elves who hid in the wilds, Ventus grew up to be a hedge mage while Umbra trained to be an assassin? Somehow got flushed out from there to enter Ferelden?
Originally, they were both trained as assassins, but we can change that if it fits.
All right so Mage elf then? If we that's good then it's all good. So it good?
Yeah
Accepted then!
