Biography

History

Ralph Hawke never had a hero, an ideal, who he wanted to follow. About his father, he had controversial feelings. On the one hand, he greatly respected him, on the other hand, he hated Malcolm's tolerance toward the Templars, the system.

He respected Malcolm's courage and effort to build a good life for his family in this twisted feckin' world, where his kind is a pariah. And he hated that Malcolm didn't say a word against their position, against the Templars, and the whole system, what forced them constant hiding, running.

"Just be careful, silent. Just smile, and learn a lot! Don't make mistake!"

Ralph wanted to vomit every time when he heard this.

He saw Bethany's silent suffer and guilt because she's a "burden", and he blamed his father.

And he knew he's unjust.

His father did everything to protect them.

But Ralph wanted to fight. For himself, for Bethany for every fucking mage in Southern-Thedas, who forced to lick the Templars boots!

Ralph hated the compromise. He hated every day he lowered his head and retreated without a word. And his anger accumulated.

He was 15 when refused the first demon who tempted him. But already he saw his way. He knew he must learn more. Secretly he searched for everything to learn the forbidden knowledge. His father refused this way, considering it's evil, but he's not Malcolm. Blood magic is not evil, just a tool, but a useful one. He knew he walks on a dangerous way, but he already knew, what he wants. He was 18, when he started to use the blood magic.

He wanted to fight, but he wasn't a fool. He learned to use Malcolm's strategy of hiding, mixed with his blood magic. He learned to fight without magic, with his bare fist, with knives and swords, and he used his staff as a polearm. Learned to use his anger and pain as power. His every little wound converted to power by blood magic. He wanted to be prepared.

Relationships

Malcolm Hawke (father – already dead): controversial. On the one hand, he respected him, on the other hand, he hated Malcolm's tolerance toward the Templars, the system. He deeply respected Malcolm's courage and effort to build a good life for his family in this twisted feckin' world, where his kind is a pariah. And he hated that Malcolm didn't say a word against their position, against the Templars, and the whole system, what forced them constant hiding, running. Sometimes Ralph was angry at him and considered his father a coward. Ralph knows he was unjust.

Leandra Amell-Hawke (mother – already dead): affectionate, protective.

Bethany Hawke (little sister – already dead): affectionate, protective.

Carver Hawke (little brother – Grey Warden): brotherly rivalry, protective.

Anders (lover): best friend and true love, soul mate. Protective.

Fenris: after a started rivalry, formed close, strange friendship between them, based on their temper, respect and chemistry (strong sexual tension).

Varric Tethras: rivalry. Ralph is impatient and has a rude, strange humour, Varric hardly tolerates his temper. Despite this, they are in a close relationship, almost as with Carver.

Merrill: friendship. Merrill's experiment is interesting, and Merrill very cute: Ralph try to hold back his rude humour if talk with her.

Aveline Vallen-Hendyr: rivalry. Ralph respect her, but can't really forget, that Aveline prevented Carver's joining to the guards, instead of helped him, and even think, that Aveline has some weird ideas about the law, order and justice. Their relationship is weird, but they both know they can always count on each other.

Isabela: Ralph tried to convince her, that she shouldn't let blackmail herself by this bastard, he would be happy to help to kill him instead, but Isabela didn't listen to him. She ran away with the artifact.

Miscellaneous

Ralph's weakness is the alcohol, and the proper communication (yes, he sometimes very rude).
