AVES 'Rook' LAIDIR 28 at start of game. Mage Dagger - Fire/Necromancy later. 5’3”

Born on the edge Dairsmund, the capital city of Rivain. Her father was from an upper middle class merchant family. He was unusual in his business that he would regularly trade and do business with neighbouring Dalish Clans. Though his prices were always higher for them, not that they were aware. 

In his early adult life he had an affair with an Elf from a neighbouring clan. When she became pregnant he convinced her to leave her life behind and be his wife in the city. Swept up in the romance she agreed and left her clan. However, after the dust settled he pushed away and his family pressured him to distance himself from them for the sake of the family business. 

He did, but at the same time would keep her wrapped around his little finger. He would say over and over that it wasn’t the right time and to be patient, using her ignorance of the society they were in to his advantage. He hid her away in their home and she developed a deep depression and loneliness. He convinced her that it was safer for her and the baby to live as a servant, but it was more to protect his own business and reputation. Aves grew up half in the servant's world and half not.

Her mother lived with terrible guilt and regret, believing her clan would never take her back but at the same time, for years she still held out hope that he would bring her into his family for real. This was held up by the fact that he would regularly come to spend time with them and when alone he would shower her in affection, but around others, act like he hardly knew her. 

After six years she succumbed to her depression, Aves found her in their bedroom in the servant quarters. In a rare show of kindness (or obligation) her father formally adopted her into the main family, but made her swear to never speak of her mothers heritage, convincing her that doing so would destroy her fathers business and result in them losing everything. She developed a complex about it mixing it with misunderstanding the shame her mother felt about her life with shame of her own heritage. She never even knew the name of her mothers clan, her mother would never speak about herself.  

Three months after her mother died, her father married a woman Aves had never met. Her father and step mother ended up having 5 more children. She was the black sheep of the family and was shown occasional affection from her father, and was barely acknowledged at all by his wife. Her father looked at her like a burden and her step mother wouldn't look at her at all. 

Her magic came in at 12 during a heated argument, in the form of a circle of spitting fire that shot out like fireworks. Her father had a distant cousin who was a mage who agreed to take her on as a pupil, she went to Ayesleigh to live with him. She learnt the basics, but found him unsettling, after two years she had had enough and ran away. 

She bounced around the next few years living on the beach and meeting fellow vagabonds. Learning magic and life skills informally from wanderers and beatniks. 

She eventually ended up travelling up and down the coast with an acrobatic troupe who would go town to town doing risky and elaborate performances for onlookers. It was run by a hard edged money hungry, yet extremely charismatic man who barely paid them at all, they would often perform for ‘room and board’.  

She met the most extraordinary people being part of that travelling show, eccentric, creative, different. They taught her how to be the best version of herself, kind, empathetic and strong. She performed the high rope with 3 others, all elves, and learnt to control her magic from an old Qunari woman who tended the animals. Aves would take her second name with her when she left. ‘Laidir’. 

Though it wasn’t all fun and games, they were expected to perform twice a day 6 days a week, often travelling at night and rehearsing on the 7th day. Additionally each performer was pressured into getting facial scarification to mark them as members of the company, one mark for every year. She got all her arms and legs tattooed by a dwarf who would perform as a ‘strong man’ who was so heavily tattooed and had such a long beard you could barely see two inches of free skin. 

The show eventually fizzled out and closed down, and most went their separate ways.

One day, she got caught pickpocketing a woman who turned out to be Isabella. Isabella was so impressed that Aves had managed to get so close that she offered her an opportunity to join the Lords of Fortune.

Meme that represents her the best:

Finally got the ref for my darling baby boy finished (lying)(there are still some studies I wanna do)(but I’m done working for now)(We all must make sacrifices)

As always: If my handwriting is unclear, feel free to ask me to clarify what I wrote down.

And also‼️ featuring some doodles to help illustrate the important dynamics with their team members.

The edit and the secondary outfit are paired together here just so they don’t take up the entire screen lol. I’m only really including suns out guns out just so I can show off the tattoos sooner rather than later.

I have severe brain rot about this guy, y’all could never understand.

EVEN WORSE NEWS! I have continued to think about the rotting woman 😔 she has weird agonising-to-draw ogre horns that the CC will not have and a backstory that will be obliterated by the first 3 minutes of the game. Putting a lot of time and effort into this grave I'm digging right now. @bioware any chance of quickly slipping a ghoulish skin texture into the CC, just for me? 👉👈

DATV — Yelena Ingellvar (Commission)

Yelena Ingellvar (Rook) character reference sheet commish for Becca! Thanks for trusting me with your lovely character! 💜

Have fun seeing the iterations on her design in the timelapse♥ Mostly inspired by the Pale Drapery & Striking Misfortune armours from the game!

I made a lore sheet for your Rook.

You can find it here. Select File on the Menu Bar and then Make a copy to start your own. Pre-sized icons for Rook's race/class/faction can be found in here. You will have to make a copy of this Doc as well in order to copy and paste the icons into your lore sheet.

The 7:5 image is a filler. If you want to add more info sections in the right panel, you can delete the placeholder and add more rows to the table.

Once done, you can download as a PDF (File > Download > PDF Document) and use Convertio to turn it into a nice, crisp PNG.

Please tag me if you share your own Rook using my lore sheet!

Chiara's masquerade outfit closer look ✨ The idea was simple, I wanted her outfit to match Lucanis's Corvid outfit, like both went to the same tailor, used the same materials, one is a nod to the other, but I wanted hers to be significantly simpler. Let the First Talon have the attention 😉

The other important thing was to make sure it shows off her chest tattoo. Let it be distracting, as a treat.

[blueberryblanket]

Do I have very complicated feelings about Veilguard? Yes.

Will that stop me from making my Rook your problem? Absolutely not.

Character notes under the cut!

* Total teacher's pet, Vorgoth basically raised her and let her get away with murder (perhaps literally)

* Likes makeup, fashion, dissection, and pressing flowers

* No one can tell if she's baffilingly stupid, naive to the part of farce, or genuinely just that optimistic (hint: it's all three!)
