Characters from [[Dragon Age]]'s [[Expanded Universe]]:
 
==== '''''Novel Characters''''' ====
== Novel Protagonists ==
 
Line 15:
* [[Being Good Sucks]]: But that doesn't stop him.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Quite a lot.
* [[Cool Sword]]: Appears to be a [[Shout -Out]] to [[The Hobbit (novel)|Sting.]] It's also present in the Return to Ostagar DLC.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: {{spoiler|Where do you think Alistair got it from?}}
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: He's just as snarkey when fighting as when he's not.
* [[Good Feels Good]]: Well, Fiona convinces him.
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: A relatively subtle one from when Rowan dies to when Fiona snaps him out of it. And he is still a [[Deadpan Snarker]].
Line 29:
* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: To Duncan in ''The Calling''.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Loghain.
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]: And that's shattered pretty quick.
** He's still relatively idealistic after all that's happened though, especially compared with Loghain. It's just not quite as severe as it was before.
 
Line 46:
== Katriel ==
 
An elven spy brought from Orlais to Ferelden to seduce and betray Maric, before succumbing to her growing feelings for him. She causes a battle plan to fail catastrophically, and after Loghain and Rowan find out about it, she willingly allows Maric to kill her, just not before leaving detailed instructions on how to take Severan down.
 
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: She eventually grows sympathetic to the rebel cause.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Her MO.
* [[High Heel Face Turn]]: She joins the rebels for Maric, just like Loghain did.
* [[Honey Trap]]: Comes with being a bard
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: And she knew it.
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: How she first meets Maric. She is "attacked" by a group of thugs in Gwaren just as the prince is passing by.
 
Line 60:
 
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Body Horror]]: When possessed by the Demon and as the darkspawn corruption spreads.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: To Maric when she realizes he is not like the Count.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: A victim and perpetrator of it.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: She has a tendency to let her temper get the better of her ''all the bloody time.''
* [[Older and Wiser]]: After 30 years she returns still incredibly hotblooded and stubborn, but a bit more willing to listen to reason.
* [[Rape Asas Backstory]]: Only it's actually relevant. She was the sex slave to an Orlesian noble from ages seven to fourteen, and assumed that all noblemen if not all humans were like that.
* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: Maric isn't convinced he isn't doing this.
* [[Tsundere]]: More Tsuntsun, but she eventually shows her deredere side.
Line 95:
* {{spoiler|[[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]}}: {{spoiler|Though she had growing doubts throughout the story, Lambert ignoring a direct order from the Divine and leading a large contingent of templars into the Enchanter's conclave causes her to lose faith in the order as it was being run and join the defecting mages, if only for Rhys' sake.}}
* [[To Be Lawful or Good]]: She'll always eventually pick the "good" option if forced to choose.
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]
 
== Adrian ==
Line 111:
* {{spoiler|[[Knight Templar]]}}
* [[Motor Mouth]]
* [[Not Good Withwith People]]: Type 2. While she initially does not like horses at all, (and cannot get along with most people on a good day), they eventually bring out a gentle side of her.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Almost every spell she uses is a fire spell.
* {{spoiler|[[Poisonous Friend]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Spanner in Thethe Works]]}}: {{spoiler|She deliberately derails the careful plotting between Wynne and Divine Justina to ensure that there would be full rebellion.}}
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: She has a tendency to antagonize the Templars at the worst possible times.
* [[Tsundere]]: One who's ''dere'' side may actually even more difficult to find than [[Beyond the Impossible|both Fiona's and Morrigan's]]. It only seems to come out around Rhys (and later [[Pet the Dog|the horses]]) and even then it's mostly [[In Vino Veritas|when she's drunk.]]
Line 129:
* [[Chaste Hero]]: Doesn't seem to understand the real reason why Evangeline would be perturbed by the thought that he saw her changing. It doesn't even occur to him that others would object to him watching until that conversation. When she kisses him on the forehead later, he stumbles back very confused.
* [[Determinator]]: Followed the party through half of Orlais to keep Rhys safe after he becomes convinced Evangeline might be a threat. This, despite having no memory of life outside the White Spire and being absolutely terrified of most of his surroundings.
** In the fight with {{spoiler|Lambert}} at the end of the novel. Even after an absolutely ''vicious'' [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]], he just keeps. Getting. UP.
* [[Ghost Amnesia]]: Though he may or may not be a ghost, he has no clear memory of his previous life.
* [[Knife Nut]]
Line 138:
* [[Poisonous Friend]]: To Rhys.
* [[Psychic Nosebleed]]: After overusing his powers near the end of ''Asunder''.
* {{spoiler|[[Self -Made Orphan]]}}: {{spoiler|His father killed the real Cole's mother after learning the Cole was a mage. Cole accidentally asphyxiated his sister while trying to quiet her when they were hiding from their father. Cole eventually managed to kill his father with the knife that... whatever ''this'' being that believes him/itself to be Cole is uses throughout ''Asunder''.}}
* [[Serial Killer]]
* [[Sympathetic Murderer]]
* {{spoiler|[[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]}}: {{spoiler|Lambert manages to banish him with the Litany of Adralla, forcing Cole to accept that he is indeed a demon. Or a spirit. [[Ambiguous Situation|Honesty, we're not sure at this point.]]}}
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: He eventually discovers how to use his invisibility to give him a huge advantage in combat.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: He would go to the ends of the earth to save his only friend, Rhys.
* [[Unperson]]: Happened to him sometime in the past. With the exception of Rhys, the people that see him forget him shortly after. {{spoiler|It eventually turns out that the Templars erased all evidence of the original Cole to cover up the mistake they made by accidentally killing him.}}
Line 154:
 
* [[The Caligula]]: Well, torture and rape parties, raging mental instability, seems to fit.
* [[Incest Is Relative]]: It's a rumor in Orlais that he was the Emperor's lover and that is why he was sent to Ferelden.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: He mistreats the Arl of Amaranthine just for kicks.
* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: Starts fancying himself as a great warrior after his forces win a major battle over the rebels, even though he was never near the battlefield.
Line 161:
== Severan ==
 
A cunning advisor and mage to Meghren. He uses his position to take liberties that no other mage could dream of short of being an apostate. He plays Meghren's insanity to his favor but makes the mistake of crossing Maric.
 
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: He didn't become the royal mage for nothing.
Line 181:
== Bregan ==
 
A Grey Warden who, when he went on his Calling, was captured by the Architect. He eventually joins him in an attempt to kill all the Old Gods before they can be made Archdemons and free the darkspawn, as well as achieve lasting peace with them by turning all humanity into ghouls, if they can survive the Joining.
 
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Bregan was apparently well-liked by his fellow Wardens, which is why he was promoted ahead of his sister.
