+1 mage that is totally safe and fine, nothing to see here he promises

[ttlynotabloodmage]

Hello all! I am new to eway and bringing in Jowan from Dragon Age Origins, a mage who's not exactly particularly good at magic and who might have maybe turned to blood magic, which is generally frowned upon in polite company. Also tends to get you murdered by templars but you know, details.

He's from the point in Origins where his life was essentially "make a series of terrible decisions and end up locked in a zombie infested dungeon". So he's not entirely certain that he isn't just imagining that he's somewhere nicer and cleaner and safer and with hopefully less zombies, and he's also really wanting to try and turn his life around so it should be fun.

Although no promises that he won't inevitably mess it all up again because it's kind of a habit of his.

As for me, my name is Kes and you can generally find me on my plurk over at failbot, where I mostly talk about Dragon Age, Guild Wars, and RP. I love plotting things and talking about cr and whatnot so I hope people don't mind if I go on a bit of an adding spree.

[fatherlesskind]

[ttlynotabloodmage]

but didn't they betray the king???

[fatherlesskind]

NO! gtfo you attempted murderer

[morework]

I MEAN HI. i'm mouette i play this smiting ray of sunshine here, as well as philip (radiopalkiller) from the penumbra games who is an ex-physicist and current-telepath and roughly as good at decision-making as jowan. i'm over at sithrak, and i'm looking forward to threading with you, hope you'll have a blast in eway!

[ttlynotabloodmage]

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN, CULLEN. THERE'S NO BLOOD MAGES HERE. YOU MUST HAVE HIM CONFUSED WITH SOMEONE ELSE. he says, wearing Circle mage apprentice robes and looking like something the cat dragged in and then mauled a little.

But hi! I'm sadly not that familiar with Penumbra beyond some LPs on Youtube, but it sounds like they will likely get along and make many terrible choices together!

Also do you mind my adding you on plurk?

[radiopalkiller]

OKAY. THAT SOUNDS FAKE BUT OKAY.

I'm looking forward to terrible choices and also yes please in fact I will jump right on that and add you immediately!

/TAKES ONE LOOK AND SLOWLY BACKS AWAY. DX

Please forgive Anders and all the varied ways he's probably going to pretend he's not associated with Jowan so he can protect his reputation, haha. Welcome to Eway! I'm Shira and I'm stoked to see more characters from the Circle Anders would know, THIS IS GONNA BE FUN. Aside from Anders here I also play our resident Victor Frankenstein from Penny Dreadful, too.

I'm excited for all the interesting CR and shenanigans to come out of having another ex-Circle mage around. Gonna hop on over and add you on plurk in a sec!

[ttlynotabloodmage]

ANDERS WAIT, LETS BE FRIENDS ;A;

But man, you're right this is going to be interesting! Sorry you couldn't get any cooler mages from your Circle, Anders, please take this complimentary perma-apprentice that will follow you around and whine loudly about wanting to be a real mage and go home to the Circle.

no refunds

Also man, Victor as well would be interesting in a possibly more disturbing way, especially if he's playing with corpses again...

[circlejerked]

SIGHS HEAVILY, being an apprentice-wrangler is not what he signed up for, but someone needs to keep him out of trouble... I also forgot to mention Anders is from an Awakening canon point so the Circle is more or less still fresh for him, LMAO.

The real question is does Victor ever stop playing with corpses... (Spoilers: probably not.) I LOOK FORWARD TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. ♥

[outofthebreach]

HELLO! I friended you on plurk last night, but I am Rynn and I have your resident Inquisitor and I am super excited for you to be here. :D Even though Brennan probably won't have any idea who you are oops. XD

I also have Natasha Romanoff from the MCU and a character named Simon Lauchlan from a game called Zombies Run! (who will much sympathize with you on the terrible life choices and then ZOMBIES front). He currently helps run the bar and maintains the gym in Wonderland. XD

[ttlynotabloodmage]

YEEEAH INQUISITORS! Also gotta say I haven't seen many male Trevelyan's around, so it's nice to see one here! They can both be confused, since wtf what do you mean Circles stopped being a thing might happen.

And Nat and Simon are both awesome so clearly I have to poke everyone you play at some point!

[outofthebreach]

we're a rare breed XD Also they totally stopped being a thing once Meredith went batshit and turned into a giant red statue :D (No. really. she did. why are you looking at me like that?)

omg no one ever knows Simon lmao, but yesss I will happily hoard all the CR :D

[magisterium]

HELLO, so excited for Jowan! <3 I'm Christine (I added you on plurk last night over at necrofancy), and I have Dorian here as well as a number of others! Dorian is decidedly anti-blood magic like so many other folks are, but I am really excited for him to have the chance to get to know a Circle mage so he can really grasp just how different their experiences have been. Welcome to Eway, and I hope you enjoy your time here!

[ttlynotabloodmage]

lmao I can't wait for the "if you're from Tevinter why do you hate blood magic?" to come out of Jowan's mouth ngl. And the backpedalling afterwards as he realises how that sounds.

AND YES he can tell you all about the Circle, Dorian! Then you can see how much you're not missing out on.

[magisterium]

cue so much sighing about Tevinter stereotypes even though Dorian knows they absolutely exist for a reason. >.>

I AM SO PSYCHED. This will be amazing.

[villainously]

omg, Jowan. origins is the only DA game I've played (though lately I feel like I should catch up on the others) and I remember his twitchy ridiculous self. bro. brooooooo. why you make life so hard for me, bro?

nice to meet you, Kes! I'm Katy and I just have Hook here. he doesn't care for people that use dark magic, which is ironic, because he's his canon's personification of dark magic rn. but, we will see how they get on!

[ttlynotabloodmage]

Because making good life choices is not a skill the Circle teaches, apparently.

ffft, that sounds like a great combination actually. Although they might get along ok since Jowan is pretty repentant about the blood magic?

[villainously]

to be fair where and who DOES teach "making good life choices 101" because lots of my chars could stand to graduate from it.

that is good!! he's a "reformed" villain, so he gets trying to move on from past mistakes. maybe they'll get on pretty well I'm interested to see!
