“that's what i'm here for. to deliver unpleasant news and witty one-liners.”
name; alistair theirin
age; thirty-five
gender; male
fandom; dragon age series
race; human (elf-blooded, dragon-blooded)
occupation; king
occupation; grey warden (former)
occupation; templar (former)
"nothing like a brush with death to make you... not like death much."
appearance; alistair stands at 6' 3" with a highly sturdy build and lightly tanned skin. he also possesses dark brown eyes and straight dirty blonde hair which is typically kept short to his head, save for a little more length in front which sticks up slightly, only a few small bangs trailing down.
personality; typically, alistair tries to deflect questions with a joke. he is, in a sense, shy and speaks often of duncan and the grey wardens. in many ways, he views duncan as a surrogate father. when speaking of post-joining experiences, alistair admits to nightmares, increased appetite, etc. he doesn’t appreciate it when he is mocked for his own softness and relative inexperience. alistair has a hard time coming to terms with problems and lacks the problem-solving skills needed to handle them. he is very indecisive, and will often let others take the lead and make decisions for him. it is likely that responsibility is one of his greatest fears. when it is revealed that he is actually heir to the throne, alistair claims that does not want it because he is convinced that he is a terrible leader- which because he believes it so, is true ("what? lead? me? no, no, no. no leading. bad things happen when i lead. we get lost, people die, and the next thing you know i'm stranded somewhere without any pants."). he asks for opinions on things often, as if he is unable to form his own.
this, however, does not mean alistair doesn't have his own opinions at all. he feels very strongly for what is right and wrong, and his conscience weighs heavily on everything he does. he admits to feeling to blame for everything that has happened, for the death of the wardens, and for the destruction of lothering because he could not take all of its inhabitants with him. he is willing to do whatever it takes to help the people of ferelden and does not show anger often, but when he does it is out of passion. despite his insecurities, he has proven to be a capable king many times but still insists on being a bad leader and he doesn't take much convincing if he's critisied for being a bad king.
"i locked myself in a cage, once, when i was a child. for an entire day. ahh, good times."
powers; darkspawn sensing: alistair is granted this ability due to the darkspawn taint in his blood. after undertaking the joining ritual, he is able to sense the presence of darkspawn and other grey wardens by sensing the taint in their blood, helping them to detect hidden darkspawn. thus, he has the ability to hear the thoughts and words of the old gods and those controlling the darkspawn, such as archdemons. while the taint does give the grey wardens the ability to better hunt darkspawn and their leadership, it also gives them wild and horrifying dreams at times and, eventually, will kill them by driving them mad.
abilities; peak human conditioning: through intense training, specialized diet, and determination, alistair reached the pinnacle of human physical prowess. he is notably stronger and faster than the average person.
templar training: while with the chantry before becoming a grey warden, alistair learned all of the talents common to the templar order. he is skilled as a warrior, able to haul heavy armor on his shoulders quite easily and fight more than capably with a sword and shield, especially in defensive postures.
other; his mabari, barkspawn, is with him.
"ah, ignorance is bliss, isn't it? that's what the chantry kept telling me, anyhow."
