Yeah, the only thing that makes me hesitate to say DA is what was pointed out above about there being too many possible "canons". He wouldn't be able to be the ultimate arbiter and pull the "mine is even truer than JKR's/Tolkien's, I know the ~real story~" act with DA because everyone can create their own canon.
And a lot of the characters I would imagine him projecting on actually don't work because of their non-heterosexuality -- Zevran and Iron Bull, and mayyyyybe Fenris, seem closest to his "type", but they aren't nearly straight enough, and furthermore Fenris has the anti-mage thing that, if he went the lazy "mage oppression = [ISM OF YOUR CHOICE]" route, which of course he would, makes him ~problematic~. I could maybe see him latching onto Cullen, being the soldier who began his training in childhood and has dark past trauma, but he's not sexual enough in general. Blackwall could go either way -- I could see Andy either taking the same approach to him as he did Snape, and making him into some kind of cartoonish cowardly sneering villain, but I could also see him latching like crazy onto his arc as a way of selling his own "redemption" story. Interestingly, Cassandra might actually be closest to his type, but that would require him to take a female character seriously for more than thirty seconds.
...oh god, Varric. He's not physically Andy's type at all, but oh god, the snarky storyteller with the fucked-up family issues who secretly and subtly protects his little clique in Kirkwall and makes a lousy spymaster because he ~cares too much about his people~? Oh, god, no. Oh god, Andy, keep your grubby little paws off of the dwarf.
