User:Isolationistmagi/4 Wardens - Solaryn

"Consider it one of my faults that I would not choose saving the world over having a world worth saving.

General Info

 * Name: Solaryn Mahariel
 * Age as of 9:37 Dragon: 26
 * Class: Warrior- Emphasis on Dual Wield, some archery
 * Specs: Reaver, Templar
 * LI: None- Alistair fell in love after misinterpreting something Solaryn said, was very slow in figuring out that she did not see him romantically in any way.

Physicality
Height: 5'1"; Slender build; onyx-black hair; golden brown eyes w/red tint; slightly elongated fingers; Ambidextrous; light brown skin tone.

Apparel
Usually wears a full set of Dalish Leather armour as a show of respect for where she has come from. Wears the Heirloom Necklace and Keeper's ring at all times, and also wears the Ring of Ages.

Personality (Generalized)
Reserved, taciturn, moody, very little sense of humour. She is slow to trust and quick to lose it, and has trouble bonding with others. She usually downplays her emotional involvement in a conversation, and normally keeps a tight check on her emotions in the company of others. One can usually pick them out by looking her in the eye, however. Fiercely intelligent, but also possessed of a short temper, she will tend to react impulsively in stressful situations and be much more logical in situations which are less so. She has a strong aversion to physical contact with others, and will often react abrasively or even violently to it. She is prone to deep thought about a great many things ranging from death to societal issues, but prefers to talk about trivialities.

Choices and Rationale (DAO)
The Circle of Magi:
 * 1) Saves the Circle
 * 2) Reasoning (As given to Sten): Valuing life is not cowardice any more than disregarding it is bravery. The innocents there b were no more worthy of the death you would have had me give them than the guilty were worthy mercy.
 * 3) Potential Reconciliation Scenarios: 1-Other warden is leading and concludes AFTER seeing Uldred's work in the Harrowing chamber that the situation is irredeemable. Does not agree with the decision, and will not help kill the mages, but will fight Uldred and the abominations all the same- will hold the incident against whoever is in charge.

Orzammar Election:
 * 1) Names Harrowmont King
 * 2) Reasoning: Does not trust Bhelen after learning of the forging of Harrowmont's papers by Vartag, and is also unimpressed by the display in the commons area.
 * 3) Potential Reconciliation Scenarios: 1- The forgery is never discovered, and she will be able to support Bhelen with few qualms. 2- the forgery is discovered, and she is convinced that Bhelen is ultimately still the better choice because he is more likely to be capable of assisting against the blight than Harrowmont. Won't like the decision, but will get over it in time. (Note: Absolutely will not side with Bhelen if proof of his past dealings with Trian and DN Warden is brought to light.)

Anvil of the Void: Potential Reconciliation Scenarios: 1- Through some persuading she could be convinced that only volunteers would be allowed to be turned into Golems, though she would later come to resent the person who did so and herself if she learns of the surface raids.
 * 1) Sides with Caridan to destroy the Anvil
 * 2) Reasoning: Is abhorred by slavery and does not believe the benefits of the Anvil are woth the risk that people could be made Golems against their will.

Redcliffe Battle:
 * 1) Initially leaves village but then returns and fights
 * 2) Reasoning: Reluctantly determines that there is no way to ensure Redcliffe can help against the blight if it survives, and realizes that the darkspawn are moving and that there is no time to waste, so she initially refuses to waste it. Her conscience later catches up with her and she determines that it doesn't matter because in leaving the town she effectively murders every person who gets killed that she could have saved.
 * 3) Potential Reconciliations Scenarios: None, excluding her not being there.

Urn of Sacred Ashes:
 * 1) Preserves the Urn
 * 2) Reasoning: Moot, as she is never given the chance to destroy it owing to having to kill Kolgrim before hearing his offer.
 * 3) Possible Reconciliation Scenarios: Sees the Urn as a uniquely powerful magical object, but not a sacred relic. She could go either way given adequate reason, though convincing her to preserve it would be slightly easier.

Brecilian Forest
 * 1) Sides with Zathrian and kills the werewolves
 * 2) Reasoning: She does not trust the Lady of the Forest after Zathrian reveals the spirit and Witherfang are one and the same. She views the werewolves as hypocritical when they try to parley, because she had tried twice before and they attacked both times. She mistrust the werewolves because of the aforementioned hypocrisy. She has given her word to Zathrian, and is extremely reluctant to go back on it.
 * 3) Possible Reconciliation Scenarios: 1- She is convinced that Zathrian has been every bit as misleading as she percieves the werewolves to have been, and is unworthy of her help, and that the Lady's plan is the right thing to do. 2- Zathrian is convinced to end the curse.

The Landsmeet-Loghain
 * 1) Alistair executes Loghain
 * 2) Reasoning: Knows Loghain must die for his crimes, but has developed a strange respect for the man and even noticed some parallels to herself, and won't kill him. Alistair steps in.
 * 3) Possible Reconciliation Scenarios: 1- Another warden duels Loghain and the decision falls to them, she will accept either decision.

The Landsmeet- Alistair/Anora
 * 1) Agrees to support Anora, but Alistair takes the throne
 * 2) Reasoning: Doesn't trust Anora, but knows it is best to have her on her side. Alistair, however, is hardened and takes the throne anyway before she can think of anything to say at the Landsmeet.
 * 3) Possible Reconciliation Scenarios: 1- Alistair is not hardened. 2- Is convinced that Anora simply cannot be trusted

The Dark Ritual
 * 1) Has Alistair Perform the Ritual
 * 2) Reasoning: Does not trust Morrigan, but comes to the conclusion that if she does not tell Alistair about the ritual and he dies taking the killing blow, she has effectively murdered him, and she doesn't want to live with that.
 * 3) Possible Reconciliation Scenarios: 1- Morrigan approaches another warden.

Archdemon Death Blow:

Does not hesitate to take the deathblow if the Dark ritual isn't performed- doesn't care who deals it otherwise.
