Spells:

Daze

DAZE
Magic School: Entropy
Spell Type: Attack Mana Cost: 2 MP
Casting Time: Major Action Target Number: 11
Test: Willpower (Self-Discipline) vs. Spellpower
Requirement: None
You ensorcell one visible target within 10 yards. A target that
makes a successful Willpower (Self-Discipline) test vs. your
Spellpower is slightly confused and suffers a –1 penalty on
all ability tests until the beginning of your next turn. A target
that fails the test suffers the same penalty and cannot take any
actions on their next turn.

Mind Blast

MIND BLAST
Magic School: Spirit
Spell Type: Attack Mana Cost: 3 MP
Casting Time: Major Action Target Number: 12
Test: Strength (Might) vs. Spellpower
Requirement: None
You create a circular blast of telekinetic force with a 2 yard
radius that’s centered anywhere within 50 yards that you can
see. Those caught in the blast are knocked prone and cannot
take a major action on their next turn. Targets that make a
successful Strength (Might) test vs. your Spellpower are only
knocked prone. In either case, any prepared actions are lost.

Spell Shield

SPELL SHIELD
Magic School: Spirit
Spell Type: Defense Mana Cost: 4 MP
Casting Time: Major Action Target Number: 13
Test: None Requirement: None
You use your own magical power to protect yourself from
the spells of others. The spell shield lasts a number of rounds
equal to your Magic ability. During that time any spell (helpful
or harmful) cast on you has no effect, but you must spend
mana points equal to the spell’s base mana cost (not counting
deductions for spell stunts or talents). An arcane bolt cast at
you would cause no damage, for example, but you would
have to spend 2 MP (the spell’s mana cost). If it’s a spell that
affects multiple targets, you are not affected but others are as
normal. If you do not have enough mana points left to pay the
cost, the spell shield ends and the spell affects you as normal.

Story blurb:

The illegitimate daughter of Magistrate Carson Te'Amul and an especially gifted Laetan instructor at the academy, Beatriss Toskany, Serina inherited magic from two strong bloodlines. Her natural charm along with her father's continual interest (from a respectful distance) insured that she remained on the political radar of her father's rivals. When an unknown rival succeeded in bringing about Magistrate Te'Amul's 'legitimate' children, Carson arranged for his daughter to be assigned as attache to a Diplomatic mission leaving the borders and hopefully out of reach of Carson's rivals while Carson tried to work out which of his political rivals was so bold as to resort to murder. It almost worked.

[Optional] Along with the Diplomatic Envoy, Magistrate Te'Amul sent along a hired mercenary specifically to protect his daughter. This man had a reputation for effectiveness and efficiency and turned out to be worth every coin when the envoy was attacked, the mercenary finally revealed the danger Serina was in and fled the attack with her in tow despite the young woman wanting to stay and help.

When she left the envoy at her protector's insistance she grabbed the necesities - Her scribe kit, her instrument (flute?), one small pack of clothes and sundries. While the mercenary grabbed the practical things like food, and a tent.

Goals:


Ties:

[Optional] Mercenary her father hired.

Some notes for Serina here:
--keep the Options,but link the Merc to Velth(with Camus' approval,of course) instead of keeping him unnamed.It not only works to establish some ties(and i was gonna have those picked do it regardless),but also causes a Neat Story element to show-up if either(or both) are picked:Who was the Rival?Why would they resort to Assassination?Did they hire the Antivan Crows or keep it "in House"?....MUHAHAHAH!

Ash is from Seheron and came to the southern lands though the Tevinter does not like him anymore than the Qunari does so maybe he can be Serina's protector if needed.

Hmm... Why can I never think of character ties with my own characters...

It can be a little tough to do it yourself(I even had trouble trying to set up ties for my Dwarf Duster Rogue PC for this game system,and i RUN IT IN RL NOW!),so it help's if you have nice folks around....

How about this; you mentioned earlier about "shyly asking for lessons".Well,why not actually be learning Magic under her Teaching you? You could've run across the three a couple of day's after the Ambush...

Hmm... That could work for me. A bit less "character ties" and more the party slowly forming over time, but I still like that idea. Though that highly depends on where her prejudices lie.

Socially speaking,you'd both be considered Laetan's(or as i like to think of them,Middle Class Mages :D),which means,while the two of you (supposedly)don't have the bloodlines or Prestige of The Altus(re:Magical Snobby Nobles who more often than Not practice Blood Magic behind closed doors),your certainly no longer a Slave.

Now,how she'd feel about Elves,THAT'S a whole 'nother kettle of Stew....MUHAHAHAH!

Decent stats before Background Adjustment's. If you keep them in a straight line,this is what you get...
COMMUNICATION- 0
CONSTITUTION- 1
CUNNING-2
DEXTERITY -0
MAGIC-1
PERCEPTION- 1
STRENGTH- 1
WILLPOWER- 1

The only specific Antivan background they have in the book is Antivan Wayfinder(page 14).With it,besides the "Add 2D6 twice for 2 free benefits" that they all get,you gain a +1 to Communication(which brings it up to 1 for the straight line-up).You also get either Communication: Bargaining or Cunning:Navigation for free....

For your Dalish Elf Scout(page 18), you gain +1 to willpower and either Dexterity: Bows or Willpower: Courage....

What if:

Velth was hired by the widow to kill the escaped elf slave who killed his master? Uppon encountering him, Nevin reveals his story and Velth feels sympathy for him as his story reminds him of his own life history. As payback for his cover Velth asks Nevin to be his partner mercenary, as the magical abilities of the elf might come in handy to cover his own vulnerabilities. THEN he gets the job of guarding the caravan where Serina was, along with other guards, like Ash for example.

I could go along with that! Though, thibming back on things... It atarts to leave your own character with a pretty visible history of failed missions...

Unlikely.According to her background,she's more of a Security Specialist than anything...
