While there's no word yet on if a demo for Dragon Age: Origins will be released, developer BioWare has just announced plans to release the game's character creator as a free separate PC application (sorry console gamers; no such thing for you) on October 13.

The character creator for the long awaited fantasy RPG will let PC gamers experiment with making characters from the game and allow them to save those characters on their hard drive. When the PC version of Dragon Age: Origins is released on November 2, players can import their characters into the game. You can also upload the image of said character to the upcoming social networking site for Dragon Age: Origins which should launch on the same day the character creator is released.

In related news a new sample from the upcoming novel Dragon Age: The Calling has been released on the game's official web site.
