I have learned new skills and decided to take on the world. XD

After watching a tutorial on how to change character utc files in the toolset, I really wanted to give it a try with the Gauntlet spirits!
Well, it first started with just editing their morphs because...they were frankly creepy without the ghost effect on them. And then it turned into wanting to change their armor and clothing to make a bit more sense for them. These spirits are apparitions of people from thousands of years in the past, so I always found it strange they were in "modern" armor and clothing. Especially Cathaire and Havard; I understand they were Andraste's first disciples, but why does that mean they have to be wearing modern Chantry robes?

Vasilia was the easiest for me to change, I automatically knew what I wanted to do with her. With Vivienne's outfit and Calpernia's jewelry, she looks every bit the wife of an Archon.

Since all of the other humans (save for Hessarian) were Alamarri, I figured Chasind-esque face paint and  Avvar armor made sense, as those are the closet modern descendants of the Alamarri tribes.

I tried to make Shartan look similar to his artwork from Wonders of Thedas. Oghren's hair was as close to the picture as I could manage and there's no such headdress in the game currently to match, but other than that I'm quite pleased! The face paint has no real basis in anything, I just felt like it would be something those fighting alongside Andraste would also do.

Hessarian was made specifically to work with Bleemak's Genitivi and other NPC edits so while he is pictured in the armor, it's not included in my download.

Important things to note
Depending on how many custom clothing or armor packs you may have installed, there may be some GDA conflicts, resulting in floating heads. Theskymoves has a wonderful tutorial on how to fix those issues here.

If you plan to use the UTC files, make sure they're in your override folder BEFORE you enter The Gauntlet! The gear a character wears is loaded in once an area is first entered, and the game saves that information. So if you've already entered the area, you'd need to load an earlier save from before entering (ie. on the Mountain Top) for the outfits to take effect.

Installation
Download the file(s), unzip the folder(s), and plop the folder(s) into your override folder (Username\Documents\Bioware\Dragon
Age\packages\core\override)

Make sure you've downloaded all of required mods and have them in your override before playing!

Make sure you don't have any files in your override that also edit the character (ie. urn230_brona.utc or hm_urn230_cathaire.mor) as it would only load in the mod that is last alphabetically.

Uninstallation
Just delete the folder(s). :)
