1. Character's Name: Anders 2. Fandom: Dragon Age 2 3. Time Frame: End of Act 3, before Hawke chooses a side. 4. Age: Unknown -- Likely somewhere in his early-mid thirties.
5. Background:Anders is a mage. Which means he was born with the ability to throw magic around, and play in the crazy demon-infested dream-world known as the Fade. Because of that, and the potential for his brain to get infested by demons from said Fade, he was taken to the Circle of Mages when he was a teen. It was, in his eyes, basically a prison for mages, in which they were constantly watched by their church-appointed (or Chantry-appointed) guardians, the templars, and vials of blood kept on hand in case they ever escaped the Circle Tower
( ... )
Anders ditched the Wardens after that, and ended up in Kirkwall, a city in the Free Marches of Thedas. He built up a clinic in the city's slums, known as Darktown, healing the poor, the sick, the tired masses free of charge -- while trying to maintain control of himself. In addition, he began working to do all he could in order to help the mages of Kirkwall, as the conditions there were growing more oppressive than they had been elsewhere. Which was how he found Hawke
( ... )
However, his devotion borders on obsession. He either sees nothing wrong with this, or doesn't fully realize the depth of his obsession. The cause is all-important to him, driving him to forsake even friendship in prusuit of his ultimate goal for his fellow mages. It's a noble sort of selfishness, but is selfish nonetheless. Again, whether or not he would be this way without Justice's interference, he can't tell. Which... just takes him back to the existential angst all over again.
7. Previous Game Developments: None.
8. Appearance: He's not particularly tall or short, around average, really. And he's pale. Probably from hanging around in a part of the city called Darktown, but still. He's blonde, and wears his hair pulled away from his face, even though it's not terribly long, with brown eyes and stubble. He works the haggard revolutionary look. Also the "feathers" look -- as his clothing always includes some kind of ridiculous feathered mantle. Aside from that, there's nothing terribly remarkable about the guy
( ... )
13. Writing sample - Third Person Prose: Oh, that just figured. It would be vermin, wouldn't it? It couldn't ever be something nice. Maybe he should stop setting out the little dishes -- or at least set them out where he could watch them better -- if all they were ever going to attract were rats.
And, since this was Darktown, it typically meant the rats were the size of cats themselves, but, that was beside the point.
Somewhere, in the back of his brain, someone dully informed him that this was nothing more than a colossal waste of time and effort. Time and effort that could be better spent elsewhere, working, wiping out the templar interference -- they didn't deserve to live, not with how they treated the mages. Slavers, all of them, monsters and abominations--
Maker.A deep breath, a steadying hand against one filthy wall -- they were always dirty, no matter how many times he tried to clean them, by virtue of living in Darktown -- and he pulled himself away from that thought. Just for now. He could write it down later.
