ARMADA SELECTION
Choose between Corsairs or Paladins and include a brief blurb explaining why. We would prefer if there's some thought put into it, such as including why they would fit in the faction and what they would do. Some ideas of what you'd like to explore with the character will help. We will try to slot them into your preferred choice, but if there is an imbalance in the two we may have to put them in the other armada. If your character can fit in either, please consider and note it down!
SAMPLE
Test Drive Sample: Link to TDM thread(s). These can be either toplevels or threads tagged into (toplevel NOT required). You can also supplement with other threads outside of the game if needed.
Questions: Any questions you might have.

REVISION
The current Personality section is very superficial. While it hits the main points, it does not provide any further explanation or details to help flesh out those traits, especially those that show there was major change and development. We suggest you try to expand on Fenris's personality using those questions provided for the application as a guide as covering those topics should help in fleshing out his character.
We would also like to see a long sample. You can continue tagging the current thread, but if you have threads from other sources such as memes or another game, we can look at those as well.
Please submit your revisions as its own comment in reply to this one; do not edit your original app. You have five (5) days to submit the revisions, otherwise we will consider it a revocation of your application. The deadline is May 15th, 11:59PM US Eastern Time. If you have any questions or concerns, ask away!
Revision
1) Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them.
Fenris comes off as very dry, and objective. He is moody, and overly negative at times. He will offer information on himself, but he holds most people at arm's length.
Spending time with Fenris reveals the side of him that developed during his time as Danarius’ weapon. He is both deeply distrustful of others and unwilling to let them fully understand, but yet is desperate for the safety of people that he trusts. Fenris meets Hawke and the group initially by deceiving them. He hires them to trigger a trap left for him, though is honest with them that he needed the help.
As the game progresses he comes to trust Hawke after Hawke defends him, and his freedom as a person. Only after that he opens up about his struggles remembering who he was before the Lyrium tattoos.
But Fenris was a slave, a weapon created for the amusement of his former owner. His friendships with people are often warped by his struggle to not fall into old habits. Forming real connections beyond being an arm for hire, somebody around to protect and serve is difficult. Fenris frequently flees throughout the game from confrontation. remembering painful memories or dealing with painful truths can cause him to disappear for years at a time.
2) What is a driving force your character has? What goals do they have, what motivates them, etc?
Fenris has a strong sense of justice due to having lacked it for so long. He believes in getting justice for those who deserve it using means such deception and violence, but also believes in fairness for those less fortunate. Fenris uses his knowledge of the Qun to steal Hawke a fair fight against the Arishok, so that they can kill him and free the city.
His sense of justice, however, is often swayed by his need for survival and freedom.
Fenris cannot settle down. He has been fighting for the life that he does remember, and thus will keep fighting. He believes that his life has been permanently altered- and ruined- by the years of abuse he faced by people within the Tevinter Imperium. This belief drives him to eventually hunt down and murder Danarius’ apprentices, his sons, and even Fenris’ own sister. He kills her for being a mage that is loyal to their former master as well, even if she had little choice.
3) What are their flaws as a character? What is something they've messed up, or have done that they regret?
Fenris can be quick to anger, and extremely stubborn. Despite being calculated, fenris can often spiral into moralistic black and white thinking- people that do bad things, are often bad in their nature. Mages are destined to be corrupted by magic, thus mages corrupt everything because of their evil intentions due to magic. He is living proof of this in his eyes.
His anger, and push for justice can also become violent. Fenris is seen throughout the game attacking, torturing, and killing people in his way to or connected to Danarius with little hesitation. Anybody within his group that protests, he goes around. Or through them.
Fenris, in the past, was rescued by a group of rebels when separated from his master, Danarius. He killed the rebels when found under orders from him, despite the fact that they refused to give him up. He regrets it, deeply, to the point where he ran from their bodies after he’d seen what he’d done. Within the game however, he cannot seem to fully offer the same empathy to the mages that try and run from the circles.
I don’t have anything of him from other games, but I do have more from my thread with Faulkner
and Dion
