Dragon Age
Because Dragon Age is currently the fandom I am really the most engrossed in right now, there's a big section for it right now. Hopefully my other litle AU's will also grow in size as I develope them but as of right now, this, along with Zelda are my most developed ones.
Depending on if we are Rping in Origins or Inquisition, there is a time split. In the DA verse, she still has elf ears. If asked, she utterly denies being an elf. This is due to several instances of elf blood intermingling back and forth in her tribe.
Name:
Potema
Race:
Elvish Chasind
Class:
Mage
Specializations: Shapeshifting and Ice Magic. Born to the Korcari Wilds in the midst of the low lands, she is a member of the Chasind tribe who make their residence. From their homes in the heart of the forest, in houses that sit upon stilts and trees, they remained in peace. It was there that a young girl named Potema grew into adulthood, learning with the others in her tribe. Having come onto her magic at a young age, she learned all that there was to learn from the leaders of their tribe. The oncoming Blight ended up destroying their home and many of her tribe along with it. She ended up fleeing from the Korcari Wilds with the few who remained and took refuge there for a short time.
As a Companion
Note: I don't have a timeline in which Potema is the Warden.
Potema is one of the many Chasind who are taking momentary refuge in Lothering. They kept to themselves at the outskirts of the town as whispers of impending raids by Darkspawn are heard at every corner. If approached by the Warden, Potema will immediately offer to join their ranks, her younger sister having died of her wounds in the Darkspawn attacks in the forest and wanting revenge.
Dragon Age Two
Depending on your preference, Potema can have immediately encountered the Hawke family or not.
If encountered:
One of several refugees from the Wilds, Potema arrived with her younger sister in her arms. Pleading for help, she tries to get aid from the Chantry but is refused. Distraught, she encounters either Bethany or mage Hawke who offer to help heal the child. It is revealed that her sister has the blight and cannot be cured. Refusing to allow her to suffer, Potema is the one to kill her. In exchange for offering her such kindness when no one would, she allies herself with the Hawke family to help them to their ship. Encountering Aveline and the events that lead to the loss of one of the Hawke children, Potema offers her services to protect he remaining children. Depending on the choice of the 'player', she will either end up in the Alienage, wanting to keep close to her new friends, or will refuse to stay within Kirkwall and will make her own home in the wilds of Sundermount.
If not encountered
Her sister lays dead and death seems inevitable. But Potema refuses to go down so easily. Whilst making a path through the Darkspawn, she encounters a group of refugee elves who offer to bring them with her in exchange for protection. They arrive in Kirkwall sometime after the Hawke family and end up ushered in to the Alienage, much to the dismay of Potema who doesn't like to be lumped among elves. Despite her disdain for the place, she remains there with the group she arrived with, having formed an attachment to them and their children.
Dragon Age Inquisition
If Potema is not the Inquisitor
The fighting with Darkspawn took many but many more were destined to die of their wounds and the infection known as the Blight. Potema and the others go to Lothering for aid, only to find that the town is already overrun with refugees and injured. Knowing there is no aid for them there, she tries to help her sister who ends up dying anyway from her wounds. Left with no reason to stay, she leaves Lothering as her sisters barely cold body is torn from her arms and thrown into the mass pyres meant to get rid of the infected. She spends her time combating Darkspawn for the next several years until the Blight has finally ended. With their home in the Korcari Wilds destroyed, she spends her time wandering and searching for any remaining Chasind in hopes of regaining some of her past. Approval can be gained in any missions that involve destroying Darkspawn or involve recruiting items related to the Chasind or Avaar tribes. Potema is able to be encountered in several areas depending on your preference.
If Potema is made the Inquisitor
Many years spent wandering have lead Potema to some interesting places. The fighting between the mages and Templars in Kirkwall has set off a series of events that has nearly all of Thedas on its head. When Divine Justinia V called for peace talks at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, there was much work left for people with strong sword arms. Seeing this as a chance for gold, she took up work as one of the hired guards for the Conclave. But as fate would have it, she would end up in the middle of the conflict and be stuck in the role as Inquisitor. Potema is playful in attitude but responds harshly to betrayel. Morally, she believes in sacrifice for the greater good and will make decisions that she believes best helps others in need. If asked for her opinion on the conflict of the elves, she has no strong feelings either way. In the Mage-Templar conflict she sides with the mages but has no support for the Chantry and openly denies being called the Herald of Andraste. Potema spends much of her time on the rafters surrounding Skyhold as well as the gardens.
