do u perchance have an idea of how husk would speak? or could u give examples of greetings (hated/neutral/friendly/romanced)? just trying to get an idea of his dialogue

His speech is difficult to understand on a good day but lucky for you he tends to use clipped phrasing and is very conservative with his words. Silence is generally his preference.

His breathing is accompanied by a raspy hiss that escalates into a full on unearthly screech during battle.

Sometimes if he gets too emotional or angry he will lose the capability of speech altogether and devolve into *darkspawn noises* (essentially think back to any dragon age game during battle with them) It takes him a moment to compose himself and he's ashamed about it every time.

He's generally only a half step away from going feral at any given provocation.

Greetings:

Hated: Husk's one eye raises at your approach, his teeth clack angrily together, a hiss slipping between them. "Speak, wretch."

Neutral: Husk regards you warily. "That's close enough."

Friendly: He is sure to keep his mask in place and gloves on. He glances over you for injury. "You yet live. There is work to be done."

Romanced: Husk notes your approach with his full attention. He sways closer when you come near, hands twitching as if resisting to touch. "My only," he mumbles, eye cast away now that you are before him. "What do you need?"

Thank you so much for this ask!! He is... VERY fun to write.

wait... we could have had butch asma 😭

Do not fear...butchsma is still alive and well. After trespasser she loses a lot of her hair (she sustained a pretty bad head injury) and when it starts growing back she likes to keep it short - I'm still playing with her design but I imagine she starts drifting into more masculine styles. She lives mainly in my sketches and unfinished work folder bc I can't decide what I want to do

[ruushes]

I miss seeing art of your warden pookie 🥺 Alill is such a unique HOF and it always makes me smile when I see him 🫶

warden pookie.... 😭😭😂❤️💕💕 THANK YOU im so glad you like him!! the dav news ofc has me thinking more actively abt DA again and drawing it more but i never intended to leave it behind entirely, he's very dear to me (': (': there's still a lot of stuff i started w him that i want to finish and inevitably new ideas that will also come up along the way 😊 here he is looking thrilled to have been made warden commander in a wip i despair of finishing and a meme i made like a year ago and forgot about until i unearthed it the other day

5, 10 and 15 from the fifty more rook qs if you’re taking them!

They are not immune to the double whammy that is Davrin and Assan together. Honestly, they were very much not expecting it to happen, but spending time with them at the forest, suddenly Alios thought to themself that ‘oh I want this for me, I would kill to keep this safe’

10. A spicy scene between Rook and their LI(s)

When everyone is doing their own things away from the Lighthouse maybe celebrating a post-game win, they get to spend the night together in Davrin’s room and they don’t need to hide (because yknow there’s the whole entire wall being an open window where everyone can hear what goes on inside and they’re tired of spending the night on that sad couch in the meditation room)

15. Who else has a crush on Rook?

I’m sure there were a handful of mourn watch apprentices who would longingly pine after the force of nature that is Rook in all their rumpled scrubs and loud quips. At the Lighthouse though? I don’t think anyone else did, because pretty early on, they were blatantly flirting with just Davrin. Everyone else had their own little crushes like Taash and Harding, Lucanis and Neve. Bellara was more their best friend and practically sister than anything, and Emmrich was a familiar taste of home but felt too much like one of their teachers for anything romantic to develop between them.

Bro the crow armor u designed for ur Rook is so good??? Ik it's based off another preexisting armor but still the COLORS and the subtle CROW MOTIF

Chefs kiss

THANK YOU THANK YOU i was itching to make my Rook's armor the way it looks/feels like his base design in the 2017s... (ivebeensneakinginzevsspawninmyfriends'worldbuildingforyears)

then i come up with a few iteration, mixing the Shadow Dragon rogue(?) armor with a little crow details, takes his old silhouette to the new one with the tailcoat and all... tried using his old colors yadda yadda...

came up with a color in the middle and im sticking with that one! (and i just added more details in the comics like the crow skull in place of the diamond in the middle) yahoo! SO YES

i had tons of fun with this one THANK YOU ANON for asking (and for indulging me on this one!!) (i miss doing character/outfit design so much)

[abyssal-ilk]

Please write more lore for that sexy darkspawn please please

link to the original lore post for those who need to catch up..

husk's eye and empty socket are constantly weeping black ichor that looks like tears. It's very annoying and worrisome since it's also a contaminant. He's constantly wiping at them and irritating the skin til it's red and puffy.

Despite the original pic, Husk is actually very rarely unmasked. He usually wears a wrap around his mouth at the very least. If you are a warden he will relax a little around you and may even speak unmasked if your approval is high enough. But in all other cases he keeps himself covered, also makes any darkspawn in his camp do the same.

When he 'awakens' a darkspawn he gives them a chance to get past the initial insanity of their condition... but if they turn out to be not cool with the whole 'wipe out their own species' thing, he will cut them down right there. The turnover rate in his war band is pretty high, but he's absolutely ruthless about it.

He has no friends! :(

^ that is purposeful. He doesn't even allow members of his warband close. Mainly because he plans on killing them one day anyway. And until you, he doesn't associate with non-darkspawn.

Husk isn't linked to any one DA game! In my mind he could kinda fit into any of them.

Fun extra fact: If u called him sexy to his face he would think ur insane
