Player: BelThorne / Lincoln Contact: Altan’s character journal, BelThorne @ Dreamwidth, or Discord @ longjohnfurby Age: 27 Current Characters: N/A, Applying with Altan Hawke
Character Name: Altan Amell-Hawke Character Canon: Dragon Age Canon Point: Between the prologue and first Act of Dragon Age 2 Age: 24
Crime: Altan is accused of profanation and corruption of an axiomatic ideal. He has no idea what is meant by this. Background: Altan is the eldest child of a noblewoman from the city of Kirkwall who eloped with Altan’s father, an apostate mage. He has spent most of his life as part of a farming freeholder family in the kingdom of Kirkwall, until the most recent Blight (a fantastical zombie apocalypse) forced his family to flee Fereldan for Kirkwall. On the way, his sister Bethany was killed by darkspawn. Upon arrival in Kirkwall, his pauper of an uncle helped him and his family into the hostile city by contracting him with a band of smugglers. At this point in his story, he has begun to make a name for himself in Kirkwall as a putative Robin Hood figure. (While he diverges significantly from canon later in the timeline, at this point he hews quite close to a viable version of Hawke): https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Hawke
Personality: Altan has been raised since his teens to be “the man of the house” in a household mimicking normalcy but always close to flight. He’s charismatic, assertive, and versatile. He has a self-consciously terrible sense of humor and considers underestimation a great gift, but he likes himself and has a nasty streak of ambition. He’s kind and warm, but can be irreverent, and has a clever, callous streak when overburdened.
Abilities: Altan is a mage: in D&D terms, he is a sorcerer. He has an aptitude for elemental magic (especially summoning and manipulating fire) and conjuration, mentally agile enough to bargain with or appease otherworldly entities. He has recently picked up and honed lockpicking and knife-fighting; he is a practiced and skilled liar.
Inventory: A set of psuedo-medieval clothing including trousers, a long tunic, a leather jerkin, and a mask. Two long knives and one small paring knife. A small leather pouch with assorted metal coins. A family seal worn as a necklace on a leather strap.
