Background info:
Came from the village Lothering and was sent to the circle at age 6. She has no contact with her family and has no desire to. She does not know wether they escaped the blight or not.After being put in the circle, she was mostly solitary, not really opening up to anyone. She does not remember most of her life before the circle.After passing her harrowing at age 18, her fellow mage Jowan asked her to help him and his lover escape the circle. Refusing at first, Jowan finally convinced her to help. After all the dangerous and tedious work of retrieving Jowans phylactery, they were all three caught by the templars. Jowen blamed Raelyn for betraying them and used blood magic to try and escape.The templars accused Raelyn for being ablood mage and her arrested. She was going to be made tranquil, but she was saved by the templar Cullen, who she knew had a little crush on her. He helped her escape by tunnels under the tower. After she got out, she traveled around Thedas for about 3 years as a mercenary type who did jobs for anybody who was willing to pay. She was mostly trained in the circle but she met an apostate along the way who taught her to become a battle mage and some other interesting abilities. Some templars caught up with so she traveled to the deep roads to lay low for a while. There she met the king and Queen of Ferelden, who made her a Grey Warden and later Warden Commander.
Some Bio:
Has a very sarcastic personality.She has a very realistic view on life and she can be ironic. kinda solitary.She covers up senstive emotions with humour and does not like revealing her true feelings .She is very clever and cunning, she has no problem wriggling her way out of complicated situations. She has a smart mouth which usually gets her into lots of trouble. Generally likes to help others in need, though she actually likes to receive things in return (preferably money hehehe) She does have a soft spot for underdogs though. Not at all fond of following the law and not a big fan of authority. She loves sleep, cake and good whiskey
(And attractive men)Although she is super lazy and hates all the paperwork that comes with being the warden commander,she is also quite adventurous. Best friends with the awesome Queen of Ferelden Kirriana Cousland. Has a HUGE fear of spiders, especially the giant ones O_O She usually gets into lots of trouble, especially with Kirriana. Her best bud is also the one who gets her out of trouble. She dispises nobles(and anybody who acts like they're better than others) and has a lot of trouble tolerating them.She is not really interested in settling down with anybody, but she does like to admire those who are attractive
Raelyn is a good person to talk to in a sense because she is a very good listener, though she is very socialy awkward and does not actualy know how to react in turn. She is also quite clumsy and has a bit of a gambling problem ( she owes a lot money to a lot of shady criminal-y people hehe) She is an epic battle and force mage who kicks ass with her buddies
Awakenings background:
After being made comander of the Grey Wradens, Raelyn traveled to Amaranthine and met up with Mhairi, a female warrior. They traveled to Vigil's Keep and were atacked by a group of darkspawn.When they reached the inside of the keep, they found it was infested with darkspawn. They met a runaway mage named Anders along the way, who Raylen knew from her Tower days, and a dwarven warrior named Oghren,who helped them fight.Raelyn remembered Kirriana talking about a dwarf named Oghren.After defeating most of the darkspawn in the keep, they met the leader of the group, a talking darkspawn called The Withered. After defeating him, King Alistair showed up to investigate what had happened.It has been a while since Alistair and Raelyn had seen eachother, but it was nice to catch-up. After he left, her three companions were to take part in the Joining. Mhairi did not survive,but Raelyn did find her a tad annoying. Anders survived,and so did Oghren. Raelyn knew she was going to like those two.Anders liked cats and Oghren drinking,plus they were both hilarious. They were going to get along just fine.She met Seneschal Bran and other advisers. She was informed that they had a prisoner, who turned out to be Nathaniel Howe. He was, in an attempt to spare his life, made into a Grey Warden. He was too serious for Raelyn's tastes, but he was damn good archery, she'll give him that,and not too bad on the eyes either,except for that nose. They soon traveled to the Blackmarsh where they recruited a fade spirit of justice,who called himself Justice.He joined their cause in hope to restore some justice to the world. He was strange, mysterious and not very open, but he was useful. They then left for Wending Wood, where they met an elf-mage named Velana. Raelyn though she was a bitch, but she was good to have in a fight, and she agreed to participate in the joining. When entering a silver mine in the Wood, they were captured by someone called The Architect. After escaping, they traveled to Knotwood hills, where they met Sigrun, a dwarven rogue from The Legion of the Dead. After helping save her companions, Sigrun agreed to participate in the joining. She and Velana both survived. Sigrun was okay, but she and Raelyn were not best buddies or anything. After they returned to the keep, Raelyn was informed of the oncoming darkspawn attack. After reassuring the foolish nobles that everything will be fine, Raelyn gathered her companions and head out to protect Amaranthine from the darspawn. After protecting the city, they returned back to the keep to confront another massive group of darkspawn.After the devestating battle at the keep, the seneschal had unfortunately died. Raelyn had liked him, he was a simple but brave and strong man. They set out afterwards to find and destroy the deadly creature call Mother, who had been sending all the darkspawn. They traveled to her lair and after much fighting, the encountered The Architect again. Raelyn could either kill him or let him live. She was not looking forward to a future betrayel from him, so she ended him,which in turn caused Velana to turn on them. Raelyn had to kill her, whish she did not entirely regret. After hours of fighting and searching, they finally found the Mother. She turned out to be a massive brood-mother, who looked even uglier than tha usual ones. After a long time of tentacle fighting and personally stabbing the brood-mother in the heart, it was finally over.Afterwards Raelyn and the others returned to their duties as wardens at Vigils Keep.
Mercenary Life:
After escaping from the circle, Raelyn spent 3 years working as a mercenary,traveling all around Thedas with her most loyal companion and friend, Thor. This usually did not make her very popular among town and city guards.She became wanted in more than a few cities. She was quite popular with those who needed things done, though. She was usually hired to do things like travel into dangerous places to retrieve lost relics/treasures, hunt down dangerous beasties who were in some way disturbing someones peace or even protecting people. She did not charge outragous amounts. Just enough to keep going. She needed to survive, after all. she would stay in taverns when she could, but with her relationship with the law and guards hunting her night and day, she usually needed to sleep somewhere else, abandoned buildings or any place with enough room and shelter. Not to mention the otherside of the law. Crime lords also started noticing her, and when she refused to work for any of them, they started sending out assassins and bounty hunters after her.And then there were also the Templars to worry about. It was difficult living like that, avoiding both sides of the law and having no friends,but it was her life and she liked it that way. No emotional baggage, nothing and nobody to hold her back. Just her and Thor showing people that you dont need to be on a good or bad side to have a place in the world. Everything was going perfect, until the day the Templars caught up to her. The day she chose to hide in the Deep Roads. The day she saved the rulers of Ferelden. The day she met Kirriana.....
Raelyn and Kirriana's Frienship:
Kirriana and Raelyn have a very odd friendship. While they are not complete opposites, the have some huge diffirences. Kirriana is a very responsible and dedicated queen and wife,whish usually gets on Raelyn's nerves.Raelyn is more the "I'll do it later" type. Raelyn may dispise the law and anyone to do with it, but she has more respect for Kirriana than anyone else. There is very little Raelyn would not do for her. Raelyn is not one to make friends easily, but with Kirriana there was an instant bond. They both have an awesome sense of humour,for one thing. Most people do not understand their friendship, especially the fact that Kirriana is queen who hangs out with a ex-mercenary. Without Kirriana, Raelyn would have been dead or tranquil a long time ago. She's gotten Raelyn out of trouble more times than she can count,though Raelyn has done the same for her,if not getting her INTO trouble more. Kirriana could be very boring sometimes in Raelyn's eyes. Always with the "duty first" thing.Hardly anytime for fun. Raelyn blamed it on that simpleton husband of hers. She and Alistair did not really get along, apart from the fact that he was an ex-templar and she an apostate, they also had very diffirent views on life and its little tasks.And their bloody obsession with cheese, she really had problems with that part.And when she forces Raelyn to do all of that stupid paperwork,which she almost always has to stay up late to do.She did make a good drinking buddy though. Kirriana always wants to help though, and she usually does. Saving Raelyn from debts, fights and more often than not, ambarrasment.She is especially usefull when Raelyn gets drunk during the day, a bad habit of hers.Raelyn really cares for the queen, more than she would ever opely admit. Raelyn did have to admit though, her and Kirirana and all their bad-ass companions, were pretty damn Epic
