Intro + Character Board = Macha

Not that introductions are needed this late in the game for all of us, right? Anyway, Olivia/Livi/Macha here! Busy schedules abound, but I think I'm working myself into a good ebb and flow of things. As we all know, I can be a terror when it comes to forgetting to post, so if it ever comes to that, PLEASE feel free, as always, to send me a message here, on deviantArt (I'm "llawll" these days), or even on skype (you can find me at "leviathanaristophanes"). With a gentle reminder, I'll always get back to you so I don't hold things up!

Actually, more importantly, I just wanted to use this board less as a personal introduction and more as a character introduction! Again, not that my characters need introduction so much as, I thought it would be nice to have a place where I could give some explanation of their potential plots and personal quests. It might make setting up "Side Story" or "Before Dragon Age" RPs and stories a little easier, in addition to actual plot-centered missions. If you read over this and decide that you'd like to explore a story or mission with my characters pre- or post- the current story, I thought that would be fun! It's always cool to develop character relationships and connections!

So, without further ado, here are my characters, a list of the "types" of missions they're good at, and some of their pre- and post- Origins details that might inspire "Before Dragon Age" or "Side Story" RPs!


Macha:
    Diplomatic Missions:

• Dealing with Nobles or matters of the Crown
• Making Treaties
• Looking after the affairs and upkeep of Keeps, castles, troops, supplies, etc.
• Foreign Affairs and customs
• Missions where quick thinking and wit are paramount

    Personal Missions:

• Dealing with Alistair's kingship and acting as Steward of Ferelden
• Dealing with the Howes and her personal feelings of revenge
• Reviving the Cousland name and estates with her brother
• Balancing her duties as a Grey Warden with acting as Ferelden's steward for Alistair
• Rogue missions that focus more on Melee and Dueling skills rather than sneaking or subterfuge

    Pre- Current RP: [Prompts and Idea-starters]

• Macha spent most of her life at Highever's estate. Any merchants or nobles traveling in the area would have been welcome to stay within their walls. Macha would have loved to talk to any newcomers! (And maybe even challenge them to a bout in the sparring ring.)
• She also spent a lot of time traveling with her father on business. She found herself in Denerim many times, or in the houses of other nobles or wealthy merchants and the like. Whether dealing with those people or wandering around Denerim on her free time with Argos at her heels, she never let herself be bored.
• After Highever's betrayal, Macha was an emotional wreck, swaying between debilitating sadness and a chaotic rage. It was very difficult for her to reign in her emotions and do what she needed to do as a newly-made Grey Warden. Even during missions with the Hero and their companions, she was often reckless to the point of endangering the mission's success.
• Eventually, Macha realized that her behavior was working against Nygozy's efforts to stop the Blight. She left their group to cool her head, and made her way to Orlais. She left on her own, but maybe she met some interesting people along the way?
• After getting to Orlais, Macha joined up with the Wardens there, including Riordan, as they tried to find a way into Ferelden without raising Loghain's notice and wrath. She used her knowledge of Ferelden and its inner workings to help them get into Denerim, working with Riordan and his Wardens the whole way. (Orlesian Wardens sure get in a lot of trouble in these games.)
• After helping in the Battle of Denerim, Alistair asked Macha to become his adviser and Steward while he conducted business of the Crown. This left her with more work than ever, but with Howe dead, she was gradually become a happier and better adjusted person. Work as a Grey Warden or for Alistair could lead her to meet many interesting kinds of people, just before meeting up with Nygozy again where our RP begins in Lothering.
  

    Post- Current RP: [Before and Leading Into Inquisition RP]

• After completing the current RP plot/quest-line (wherever that takes us!), Macha will probably spend some time going back to Denerim and settling matters of the crown there. However, after having another adventure (this time where she was less traumatized by her family's murder), she tells Alistair to see to his own responsibilities, and takes a break from her role as steward and adviser to continue traveling with Nygozy, looking for a way to cure the Taint.

• Dealing with Antivans (Crows, merchants, sailors, etc.)
• Spying, infiltration, and espionage missions

    Personal Missions:

• List item 1
