Ballad of Oregon - River City Extension
Think I'd make it through the winter
Think I'd find some room to grow
Oh, these are the debts we think we know
To wanting something I am losing touch with
Things I'll never live to hold

Rubik's Cube - Athlete
Oh I'm like a kid who just won't let it go
Twisting and turning the colours in rows
I'm so intent to find out what it is
This is my Rubik's cube
I know I will figure it out

Candy - Robbie Williams
Ring a ring of roses
Whoever gets the closest
She comes and she goes
As the war of the roses

Lifeboat - Heathers: The Musical
I'm hugging my knees
And the captain is pointing
Well who made her captain?
Still, the weakest must go

All I Really Want - Alanis Morrisette
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off

Sleep - Poets of the Fall
If you won't let them follow you
You just need to heal
Make good all your lies
Move on and don't look behind

All the King's Horses - Karmina
Run with my hands on my eyes
Blind, but I'm still alive
Free to go back on my own
But is it still a home when you're all alone

Be OK - Ingrid Michaelson
Just give me back my pieces
Just give them back to me please
Just give me back my pieces
And let me hold my broken parts

Down - Jason Walker
I don't know where I'm at
I'm standing at the back
And I'm tired of waiting
Waiting here in line, hoping that I'll find what I've been chasing

What you Live By - Harvey Danger
Lay me down in the bed that I made
Starved for sleep by the shrill serenade
Singing over and over
You die by what you live by

Nowhere and Everywhere - Michelle Lewis
She's jumping in and out of cracks
And she's got everything that you lack
Well she entered unnoticed
You will feel it when she leaves

PERSONALITY

Tallis comes across as a fairly carefree person. She'll constantly crack jokes and will generally have a friendly demeanour towards anyone she speaks to. For the most part, it's honest, but it also serves as a way for her to get close to people. Being a member of the Ben-Hassrath, being able to get close to anyone is a valued skill. Especially given most of her missions require stealth and finesse. She genuinely likes people, but she knows she has a job to do, as well.

She is pretty adamant about her place in the Qun, but this is to cover up the fact she is unsure it's the correct path for her to follow. The Qun saved her from a life of slavery, and the thought of absolute equality, even for an elf who's prospects otherwise are horrendously dark, is a comforting one. She has looked so desperately for a place to belong, something to believe in. She doesn't truly believe everything the Qun teaches, but she's so desperate for a place in the world that she clings to the Qun like a drowning man clings to the flotsam of a shipwreck. She quickly shuts down any discussions on the flaws on the Qun, unwilling to face up to them herself. If she keeps kidding herself, she can keep going.

Her personality doesn't suit a member of the Qunari, she's headstrong and puts her feelings before the mission, especially when the lives of innocents are on the line. Even when she knows her mission could be compromised, she will always keep an innocent life being caught in the crossfire, and damn the consequences. Her conscience is too strong to meet her full potential as a member of the Ben-Hassrath, and she is painfully aware of that.

She rarely has any real, honest talks with people. Her time with others has always been fleeting, she does her mission, she moves on. She was almost tempted to leave everything behind, and travel with Cairn, but after his death to save her, she has been consciously trying to keep her other friendships casual. She flirts and jokes, occasionally enjoys a brief tumble, but never lets anything get serious. It's safer for everyone involved.

Thanks to being, well, basically a spy, she's very nosy, wanting to know as much about a person as she can, with giving very little of her own life in return. She comes across as irritating and snooping as a result, which really would be a fair assessment, that even she would agree with. Then make a shitty joke about it because all problems can be solved with shitty jokes, right?

HISTORY

Born in Minrathous, Tevinter. At some point in her early teens, her family sold her into slaverly.

The slave ship carrying her to Carastes was boarded by Qunari, and slaves and slavers alike were taken to Qunathras to be reeducated into the Qun.

She almost faced qamek - being turned into a mindless labourer - due to her headstrong attitude. Sallit, a high ranking member of the Qunari's secret police, the Ben-Hassrath - stepped in and suggested she would be perfect for the role of a Tallis, and mentored her in her new role.

Tallis remained a spirited member of the Ben-Hassrath, always completing her missions, but never to the letter. The Qunari would rather a mission be abandoned than completed imperfectly, and saw Tallis' actions as prideful and troublesome.

When sent to steal a Qunari artefact possessed by Count Valmont - a mission which required her to make no sign of her entry. To take the artefact and vanish as if she was not there, Tallis met her undoing. She saw that Valmont was keeping children as sex slaves. She freed the children, then killed Valmont and a few of his guards.

Her actions nearly incited a war between the Qunari and Orleasian Empire. She was demoted to 'Athlok' a simple labourer, and was sent to work on a Qunari trading vessel docked in Kirkwall harbour. Sallit was also demoted, thanks to his pupils disobedience.

After two years, she was offered the role of Tallis again, and given the mission to track an escaped Saarebas, a Qunari mage, who had escaped from the Templar prison in Kirkwall.

She met up with Cairn, the Templar tasked with tracking the Saarebas, a reaper named Nyree and Dalish elf, Josmael (who's betrothed had been captured by the Saarebas). Together, they tracked the Saarebas to Sundermount, where he planned to use a Dalish artefact called the Mask of Fen'Harel to tear open the veil and bring untold chaos to Thedas.

Cairn revealed that he wanted to kill the Saarebas, as he had murdered the Templar's family before being captured. He tried to convince Tallis to join him on the run, kissing her. They decided they would duel once the Saarebas was stopped, to decide which of them could have the Saarebas - Tallis to take him back tot he Qunari, or Cairn to have his vengeance.

Despite trying to stay to the mission, Tallis agreed to try to save Josmael's betrothed- who alerted the Saarebas to their attack (turned out she wanted to be there the whole time, who knew). Josmael accidentally stabbed her, her blood activating the Mask of Fen'Harel and starting to open the veil.

Tallis managed to break the Mask, and in the battle to neutralise the Saarebas, Cairn took a lightning bolt aimed at Tallis, being killed instantly. Tallis, going back on her mission, killed the Saarebas in cold blood, to avenge Cairn's death. She buried him on Sundermount, and the left the party.

At some point, she sought out Hawke, pretending she was trying to steal an artefact called 'The Heart of the Many' from Duke Prosper, and needing Hawke's invitation to the man's Wyvern hunt in order to get at it. Hawke agreed and many adventures involving hunting Wyverns and breaking and entering were involved.

Prosper recognised Tallis for what she was, and revealed it to Hawke, having both of them captured. Here, Tallis came clean, saying she was trailing her old mentor, Sallit, who was going to use a 'great weapon' which would put countless innocent lives at risk. Hawke agreed to help her, and they broke out.

Prosper and Sallit met, and the great weapon was handed over, a list of names of Qunari sleeper agents stationed throughout Thedas. Tallis, Hawke and his gang interrupted and were attacked by Prosper and his pet Wyvern. Sallit was killed in the battle, as was Prosper.

Tallis explained that the list of names in human hands would have meant the agents and their families would have been killed. Sallit had turned away from the Qun, and become Tal-Vashoth, and this was his final act of rebellion. She didn't do this for the Qun, but for the innocent lives that would have been lost with the names on the list.

She left Hawke's party and headed back towards Par Vollen to put the list back into Qunari hands.

You reached Tallis. I'm either away being awesome, or I'm lying face down in a ditch somewhere. If I don't get back to you in twenty four hours, assume it's the second and send a rescue party.

Seriously.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Tallis (It's a title, rather than a name. She's Qunari and they don't do names, this is what she will go by, however)
CANON: Dragon Age
AGE: Late 20s/Early 30s
CANON POINT: Dragon Age: Mark of the Assassin; after leaving Hawke's party with that list of names.

BACKGROUND: Wiki link be here
-She knew a male, warrior "purple" Hawke. Whom she largely got along with.

INCENTIVE/FIT: Her incentive is that Cairn not die, that he gets to live and be a renegade. He died to save her life, just as she was getting close to him. He represented another path for her, a potential way out of the confusion she has over following the Qun. Without him, she has inevitably gone back to a life she's not 100% certain she wants to live. With him, the game changes. Besides, he's a good man she cares deeply about. If she can get him back to the land of the living, she'll do it.

It helps she's a naturally flirty person, who has no problem getting intimate with others, it's all part of the job.

SAMPLES:

Tallis stared at the strange person in front of her. She'd been used to strange people, in general, she lived a strange life. But this one took the proverbial biscuit in strangeness. She tried not to show any confusion, tried to keep a smile of mocking indifference, as she folded her arms, leaning casually on the nearest available surface (it was a tree).

"So. You want to whisk me away to another land to touch other people who have been whisked away. That's the jist I'm getting here, right? And you think I'll buy this why? Because I hate to tell you, this sort of offer sounds like I'll end up in some Tevinter dungeon with a magister fondling his nethers at me."

She thought how close she came to that life. She banished it away quickly. Now wasn't the time, now she had to be on her game.

"Eudio is not about that," the representative smiled. "And we offer an incentive."

"What? Coin? I can get plenty of that, and I don't really want to have the feeling that I sold myself hanging over my head, if that's all the same to you."

"We could bring Carin back. We could make it so he never died from that lightning strike."

Tallis froze. She hadn't heard that name in a long time, and it bothered her how it still made her heart hurt. Her hand fell lightly over a pocket, where the broken phylactery always remained. The mistake she regretted the most could be undone, a good, decent (if kind vengeful) man could live again. They could-

This could be a lie. She narrowed her eyes, looking at the representative critically. Judged the expression, brought her training into the forefront. This person wasn't lying. At all.

She hesitated, just for a moment, before nodding. She'd made worst decisions in her life, at least this one might be worth something.

"Okay, you've got a deal."

Sometimes, you just had to just fall into the pit.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Here are her abilities. Nothing special or magical, just regular rogue-y abilities of stealth and suchlike. Her weapons are a pair of throwing knives.

She's an elf, so pointy ears, lithe build. Nothing overly special, she's still humanoid.
