With seeing tiktoks of people making their Rooks the kids of the HoF or Hawke it reminded me that on of my Inquisitors has a kid who is around 9 during the time of Inquisition and would be 19-22 during Veilguard. A child who was, for the most part, raised in Nevarra and is a mage.

The temptation to make an Ingellvar (Secretly Trevelyan) mage who ends up romancing Taash is strong. Like that meeting would be just Niamh Ingellvar-Trevelyan: Hey papa, this is my partner Taash. They're a fire breathing Lord of Fortune and I love them dearly. :) Inquisitor Conall Trevelyan, who fell in love with the Iron Bull and has 0 legs to stand on if he wants to criticize his daughter's choices: Welcome to the family Taash!

you are personally and directly hit by a bus¹ and isekai-ed, via resurrection, into the body of the main character your most recent WIP

reblog and tell me: on a scale of 1–10, how screwed are you right now?

¹ this is, transparently, a plot device, so if you are about to tell me "joke's on you, I never leave my fifteenth floor apartment!" then you may rest assured it will have tremendous comedic value when the bus is launched into the sky and crashes through your apartment wall to flatten you anyway

he's blighted. he's evil. he's 8 feet tall and made from magical blue goo. he's a manifestation of tyranny. he has big droopy elf ears and pretty golden eyes. he thinks his dragon shrunk in the wash. he has killed, by my count, 66 titans. he doesn't feel stress. he doesn't ask questions. he's the first elf guy ever made. he breaks out from the cringe jail he slept in for several thousands of years and immediately becomes obsessed with and down bad for the idiot loser that accidentally freed him. he puts his scribe in a blight cyst in italy. he has erased entire emotions from existence. he uses a glamour to look pretty. he transed his archdemon's gender. he loves and supports his tentacle monster sister and her horrors. he attempts to cheer her up by suggesting she give his dragon extra mouths. he goes batshit insane after she dies and rains fire on an island so hard it turns to glass. he is, canonically, packing. he may or may not be wearing a wig. creative director john epler can't stop talking about how vain he is. his gaze softened when he looked at rook. he wants them so bad even ghilan'nain calls him out on it. he forgot how to speak in the hallelujah cadence. he cucked solas. he sucks.

the man of all time. to me

while I think lords of fortune rook is probably one of the faction backgrounds that tie the least well into the overarching story for me so far, I must admit that I do see the inherent allure and hilarity in the character concept of someone who somehow manages to save the world based on nothing but the power of being a really good hang

So I remade my LoF!Rook as a Crow in a sort of 'what-if' scenario with the idea to ship them and Lucanis and I just. I can't. They'd never get with Lucanis as a Crow.

In fact post-game they'd be as far away from Antiva as they could get. It's not available through dialogue in game (thank god for fanfic) but they'd be so horribly, viciously jealous of Viago. Of the man who got a choice to be a crow and, in their mind, chose wrong.

Don't get me wrong, in this canon they would love Viago, he's their brother in arms. He's someone who cares about them even when they fuck up. But Maker, given half a chance they'd rip his throat out because how come he gets to chose to be a crow and they got forced into it?

Because who actually wants to be an Antivan Crow? To kill people for money?

Guess I've got my Davrinmancer, though. Someone who was born in Rivain, who has had a lot of their passion beaten out of them and taught not to want more. They fall in love with a man who, as a grey warden, was warned to never want more.

Ok not to go feral posting about Dragon Age but it just occurred to me that for a Crow!Rook, Teia would completely understand why they are interested in Emmrich. Like 'Oh the man who constantly talks about his interests and is very erudite and focused yeah I get that'

Rook absolutely hates the comparison because Emmrich is NOTHING like Viago except those two have been talking about poisons and their effect on the body for 20 minutes.

Poor Rook having that uncomfortable 'Oh shit I'm dating someone like this parental figure in my life'. Having to live with that.

Bonus, though, Viago goes through a similar crisis when Teia points this out to him.

i think elves should be able to die from intense emotions as a way to compensate for their immortality
