Fenris

;

Name: Fenris

Species: Elf

Personality: The edgy loner; distrustful, sardonic, cautious, grumpy, broody, easy to anger and to fluster, doesn’t care to spare feelings, bitter, quickly agitated, comes off as meaner than he intends to be, struggles with apologies, not used to actually caring for someone and often acts unnecessarily harsh towards those he cares for, inept at flirting but will attempt to do so nonetheless, has a sense of humour hidden somewhere under his stoicism, has a gentle side he is yet to discover himself, he’s a good guy once he gets to know someone.

Appearance: 5’10/178cm tall, brawny build for an elf but still considered of a lithe and delicate build by human standard, a mob of white and messy hair that falls into his eyes, pointed ears, big, cat-like hazel eyes, prominent roman nose, tanned skin with white lyrium marking that span over his whole body including his chin and three dots on his forehead, strong shoulders and upper arms from swinging a broad sword, defined and sinewy muscles, most commonly seen wearing his spiky leather armour, always has his broadsword strapped to his back or close by so he can grab it if needed.

Age: Around 32 years old.

Speech: Surprisingly rough, always seems to have a growl in the back of his throat, always speaks his mind and often forgets that the words he speaks might be hurtful or rude. His voice will immediately soften if he realises he was mean by accident. Happy: “Varric let me pet his chest hair once. Don’t ask, we were both drunk. Very drunk.” Flustered: “I—uh... Ahem! Thank you, I suppose.” Annoyed: “I didn’t ‘pine’ for anyone, I just asked where they went.” Angry: “Another mage, another existence destroyed! As long as there is a mage who acts on their own whims, there will always be someone else who has to suffer for it!”

Background: Fenris doesn’t remember anything of his life before he was bought by a Tevinter magister named Danarius, though he once was told that he originally came from Seheron. Once in possession of the magister, the young elf was put through a gruelling ritual in which lyrium was carved under his skin, giving him the ability to phase through solid objects. After surviving the ordeal, he was given the name ‘Fenris’ by Danarius. During the attack on Seheron, Fenris was left behind by Danarius and taken in by fog warriors, who took him in, nursed him back to health and taught him about their culture. It was one of the first times that Fenris got a taste of freedom. After months, Danarius returned to reclaim his prized slave and when the fog warriors refused to hand Fenris over, he was ordered by his master to kill the Qunari. Fenris, knowing no better than to obey, killed those who had taken him in — and also injured his master in order to flee. Sometime later he arrived in Kirkwall, fully aware that Danarius’ henchmen were still hot on his heels. He conducted a ploy and lured an unknowing Hawke and company into helping him kill his former master. However, Danarius has yet to make his appearance in Kirkwall, so Fenris occupies the mansion the magister owns. He doesn’t like to go into detail about his life as a slave under the magister, but will often hint that he was forced to do unspeakable things.

Behaviours & Habits:

• Drinks too much.
• Despite always acting like a loner, he actually likes being around people; Fenris just struggles with trust issues and often doesn't really know how to act around others without being told what to do.
• Will walk away to cool off and once he has a clear head, he will apologize if he stepped out of line or was unnecessarily rude. He is just not skilled at being apologetic.
• He mostly swears in Tevene, his native tongue usually breaking through when he is stressed or upset.
• Because of his past experiences with the magisters of Tevinter, he has a very low opinion of mages. He deeply dislikes magic and those who wield it. If faced with a mage, his stance will become aggressive and he will voice his discontent. This being said, he is open to change his mind about individuals.
• Fenris is a bit of a slob and the mansion he squats in has seen better days. This is not helped by the fact that he seems unbothered by the chaos around him.

Goal: To kill Danarius and be truly free.

Other:

• He still can't always control the markings; especially when enraged, his abilities go rogue.
• The markings are the reason why he was given the moniker "Blue Wraith".
• Fenris does have a fondness for card games, especially diamond back and wicked grace.
• He is actually rather resistant to alcohol and can down a lot before he is drunk. That doesn't mean that he doesn't like to get drunk, especially with Varric, or alone in his newly acquired mansion.
• When drunk, he is very open to mischief and terribly flirtatious. He is very bad at flirting, however.
• He does speak Qunlat, though it's far from perfect, it's enough to leave a positive impression among the Qunari.
• Fenris is very fond of animals, especially dogs.
