Character Synopsis
He has a bit of a new look now!

I have run through the console version of DA: Origins with this character--my "canon" Warden--and am now running through on the PC. Wade is a clever rogue with a sharp tongue and sharp sense of humor, as well as compassion. He doesn't have a problem doing what needs to be done but can't help sympathizing with the underdogs. He loves his family and friends, and misses his mother, Adaia, greatly.

Religiously/philosophically, his views diverge from those of the average City Elf, or even Dalish. Ironically this adds to his relationship with Leliana, whose own Andrastian views are rather heretical...or it would if he would work up the nerve to tell her!

In thought and action he strives to live in and between two worlds: human and elf, servile and savage, and even male and female. Strangely, the social classifications of an elf allow him to do just that, and with the Fang of Fen'Harel at his side live beyond definition...and, hopefully, beyond expectation.

Many thanks to King Cousland for the character template.

Character Synopsis
Raelyn Redway lived 700 years ago, during the Chantry calendar's Glory Age. A chambermaid (and before that a self-made blacksmith) and distant relation of Wade Tabris and his mother, Adaia (Redway) Tabris, she was something of a misfit among her people. Instead of resenting her shemlen neighbors in Orlais and yearning for the days of Arlathan and the Creators, Raelyn reveled in the present. She appreciated what the elves had created with their own hands and accepted the world as it was without pining for the past. To her, the elves were more than their distant gods, and she could not even rightly say she was entirely sad the People were on their own.

This inclination earned her the attention of Fen'Harel, the Dread Wolf. Sensing a kindred spirit in her--a mortal who could, in a sense, appreciate the world he had created--he came to her during an eclipse night when the rulers of the Dales sundered the Veil on the eve of elven rebellion against humanity. There he bestowed dark wisdom upon her, and gifted her with the mighty Dar'Misu the Fang of Fen'Harel...and a child, impossibly conceived in the Beyond/the Fade.

Carrying these burdens Raelyn nonetheless resolutely fought for the Dales during the ensuing Exalted March upon the elven kingdom. In the manner of all of Fen'Harel's gifts Fang did not bring her the victory she hoped in battle, however. Raelyn lost many friends and loved ones in battle against the templars--including her erstwhile Emerald Knight lover, Django Brunwyn. Nearly friendless and bitter, Raelyn was taken to the new alienages established under Divine Renata I, there to bear her girl child, Fen'len, in captivity.

Sadly, the child lived a short and unhappy life, dying young...but not before bearing a child of her own. Her mongrel soul made her a tormented, eccentric child, causing her and Raelyn much sorrow before her end. Raelyn cared for Fen'len's child as best she could in the alienage before she too passed away, willing her grandchild her martial skill and enchanted blade to wield in its own battles.

Upon her death it is unclear whether Raelyn's spirit passed beyond the Veil to dwell with the Creators, or whether it walked a while with the Dread Wolf. All that is certain is that her descendents carried her martial skill and ancestral blade, and her uncommon cunning and wildness, to future generations of Redways...all the way to present day, and Adaia Tabris and her son, Wade.

Character Synopsis
Django was a member of the Emerald Knights during the twilight years of the Dales. A patroller of the borders of the new elven homeland, he was far more likely to gently turn a bewildered shemlen trespasser around and lead them back to the edge of the Dales with a loaf of journeybread than to cut them down, as many of his more ruthless comrades were willing to do. Bandits, or other threats to his people, however, were treated quite differently. He enjoyed his work.

A laid-back and goodnatured elf with a wry sense of humor, he became acquainted with the then-blacksmith Raelyn Redway when she worked on a blade for him. The pair soon became close friends and lovers, never demanding more than the other was willing to give but always remaining loyal in their own way. Django supported his erstwhile lover, though her misfit tendencies concerned him for her safety and wellbeing.

When Raelyn became pregnant shortly before the Chantry's Exalted March of the Dales Django unhesitatingly assumed fatherhood of the child, never knowing it was not his own. He was cut down during the final battle before Raelyn's eyes where he had fought alongside her and her strange new Dar'Misu, and--perhaps mercifully--never lived to see the inside of the hastily alloted alienage of Val Royeaux.

Though not biologically tied to the Redway bloodline, it is hoped his courageous and bright spirit live on somehow in its descendents.
