Julian Thorne: Julian the Lurker

I posted this on DeviantArt and forgot to post it here so I might post some stories about him as well.

OK here is all I could find........ I turn to dust.....

(I'll give him his own more comprehensive post eventually, but right now I just wanted to get my thoughts out)

Headcanons about my Rook, Julian Thorne!

(Also tiny image showcase because I'm personally obsessed with him)

He grew up in Kirkwall — in darktown specifically. Joined up with the Coterie after his mother died when he was 13, following in his older brother Cecil's footsteps.

He didn't become a Warden by choice. A mission went bad, and he got stuck in a cave system for a few days after causing a cave-in to cover the rest of the group. Too many close calls with darkspawn on his way out, got the blight.

Was a contact of Varric's when he was still in the Coterie, and Varric was the one who pulled the strings to get him to some wardens in the area. Feels like he owes him for that.

Was very sickly as a kid, had to tough his way through it for the most part (was only taken to a healer when a fever was literally killing him) — as a result of this, he didn't really register he had the Blight until he was back at home and woke up unable to move. Held on for like a week while his brother was shoving various herbal concoctions down his throat.

Worked as a stablehand when he wasn't doing Coterie jobs. Likes horses.

Trans man! Still deals with dysphoria sometimes.

Fiercely independent and has always had authority issues. The Coterie kept him around because he was one of their few pet mages left after the Kirkwall Rebellion. The Wardens... chafed with him a lot.

In my world state, the inquisition didn't banish the Wardens from the south, but the southern Wardens did have a huge deficit of mages after the seige of Adamant. So, he was sent down to train at the now rebuilt Adamant in the Western Approach.

He is barely a mage, though. Everything he knows now is a mix between "I made it the fuck up" (his main affinity for pyromancy, mostly) and more experienced mages going "why are you doing all that. You don't need to do all that." (simple things like barriers and fade-stepping). Other than that, he was mostly trained as a rogue. That's what you get for being a Kirkwall apostate.

Needless to say, his first time he was transferred northward and some other mage wardens taught him about fighting with orbs and daggers, he was very relieved.

Prefers tea to coffee.

Oh — his big secret is that his father is actually Raleigh Samson. When I was bouncing around ideas for Rooks, he started as a joke. Then his backstory got really real, and I got. Very attached to him.

He's never met the Champion of Kirkwall directly. Why would he? He met Anders a few times, but he doesn't remember this at all (again, fevers so intense he was literally dying).

His father was never told he was a mage. For obvious reasons. His parents separated when he was pretty young, so he saw his father rarely.

Was parentified as a child, so now he has that killer personality combo called "I compulsively have to play caretaker for my friends, but I also have an avoidant attachment style so I push them away whenever they try to do the same for me." (This is the only way I could really make the "why does Rook solve everyone else's problems but they never solve his?" thing work).

BBC Ghosts | 5x05: Carpe Diem

[mozzzz05]

I just had an upsetting thought - what if Alison constantly visited the Ghosts and knew - when she was old and grey and had lived a life - that she was going to die, so she made sure she was in Button House for it?

Mike accepts it and understands her want to go back to the Ghosts, they’re like family, they’re always there.

But then it’s Mike’s turn to go and he decides it must happen at Button House too. He’ll see his wife again! Spend a couple of hundred years together & hey he can actually meet/talk to the ghosts now!

Only when he dies and he meets all the Ghosts, who are all excited to actually talk to him etc, he asks where Alison is, only to find that she moved on straight away.

He finally gets to see a part of his life that was so bizarre for him, so secret and hidden, part of his life where he only ever had half a story. And now he has that half but his whole world is still gone and he doesn’t know when he’ll ever see her again.
