If you could role play a protaganist from any origin, what would it be?

A rogue human who isn't a noble. This is all I want Bioware!

I would definately love to play as a Qunari of the Qun. However, some other interesting origins would be as a Templar from one of the circles, a Tevinter slave or magister or just a commomer, a child given to and raised in a Chantry, perhaps even a Chasind, or one of the sentinel elves from the Temple of Mythal because I want to know what the hell they have been doing just chilling all the way out there for so many centuries. Oh, and playing as an intelligent darkspawn like from awakening would be freaking awesome

I could go for an actual templar character - not just a specialization. I've been yearning to play one ever since I first played Origins.

I really REALLY want to be a city elf, preferably from Highever. A member of the silver order would be nothing short of amazing. Legion of the dead member would have been interesting but I don't see how they would make a reason for him to be there. A crow, a survivor from ostagar, a former templar from ferelden who left after the uldred went crazy, someone from lothering after they started rebuilding would all have been excellent.

A mage who's being held prisoner in The Aenor. An extremely secret prison that's housed in a fortress sounds like fun. I imagine the start would be very messy and creepy. The place sounded pretty foreboding in Origins.

You could also have a Templar begin here either as a prisoner or a guard, since those who are exposed to things like maleficarum or blood magic get sent here as well.

I'd love to see what the Anders are like, actually. We barely know anything about them so I think it would be really fresh and exciting.

A character origin with a real solid reason to believe s/he's the real-deal Herald, like u/DrewofStateFarm's child raised by the Chantry.

An Antivan pirate. You get correspondence from Isabella congratulating you on the biggest con ever.

Slave owning Tevinter Magister that isn't portrayed as some crazed loon. I'm tired of playing dull inoffensive protagonists who's personalities and actions range from saint to prick who means well.

I want to gather power for it's own sake. I want to reward those who stand with me and utterly destroy those who don't. I want to be someone who isn't corrupt, doesn't have a sob story or any other lazy reason to explain their actions. I don't want to fight some great threat to Thedas, I want to BE the threat, just once.

I was always fascinated by the Legion of the Dead. The Inquisition would be sooo screwed...

Listen to me Pentaghast, I ain't gonna say it twice. I don't care about your maker, your dead bitch, your green "sky". Heck I don't care about this mark. I've been chasing that particular darkspawn for three months now, from the Deep Roads to the surface and into that stupid temple, I owe his ugly head to my fallen Commander, and I'mma collect it no matter what. Now get out of my way before I-thump

Hey now Seeker, don't look at me like that. I know these guys. You can't reason with them, you can't talk to them, and you absolutely don't want to pick up a fight with them. You need this one? Fine. Put it in a cage first.

You know what I really REALLY want? To play as an ancient Elf. Just imagine, awakening from centuries and centuries of slumber to find that not only does no one speak your language (not really, fragments can't make a conversation) but the entire world has changed. Your race is no longer the dominant one in Thedas but the weakest one. Your people are now as short lived as the humans. And the insight that we would have on the ancient world. But what if you had gone to sleep before the fall of the Elvhenan and you made it your mission to find out what happened. Something I would also really want with this origin would be being a mage (since all ancient elves naturally had magic) but not focusing on magical combat. I mean, we have "proof" that despite all the ancients having magic, many of them used bows, daggers and swords.Why is it that, just because you have magic, you are suddenly unable to pick up a sword?

Spacer, Ruthless

Playing as a member of the Antivan crows would be fun. Zev's got some great stories.

Hurlock Vanguard.

Darkspawn Disciple from Awakenings.

A blood mage where the entire rest of the world knows you're a blood mage.

Or

A mage on the brink of possession where at certain points you have to fight off demons trying to possess you.

ORRRR

Same as above but you get possessed, are more powerful BUT you can never choose a "good" option for any choice during the rest of that game.
