#Rook dragon age

[rookanisstuff]

I COMPLETELY forgot elgar’nan and ghilan’nain had a scrying table in their lair meaning Rook and Lucanis not only had Spite watching them, but Solas stuck in Rook’s head AND TWO MORE ancient elven gods with quite literally nothing else to DO but watch them fail to flirt.

❝The only tool I had was my tenuous connection to you.❞

Little scraps of approval.

Huh? 😭 Davrin casts constipation?

Shout-out to the voice actor of masc American Rook: The way you can hear Rook tearing up during the last conversation of Bellara's first personal quest hits me right in the feels every time, and I somehow never expect it. A+ work; also oof, ouch.

Renzo de Riva + random text posts I found on the internet.

Bonus feat. Lucanis.

Fear the Saarebas For it wields great power to destroy, even the almighty Qun Be wary of the Saarebas For it can not master itself, in need of strong chains Pity the Saarebas For it drowns in its own magic, choking on its own blood Honor the Saarebas For its sacrifice is a virtue, in service of the almighty Qun But never cry for it, never weep For it is a tool, a dangerous thing And tools can not feel pain -A qunari prayer for the saarebas

Poor Dathrash. 💔 I've wanted to paint a moody piece of their saarebas days for a while, and I finally was struck with some inspiration!

And since it's WIP Wednesday, here are some process pics under the cut!

And RIP to the beautiful nose I worked so hard on and then covered it with the mask 😔

Can anyone who's good at edits and also has a device that won't explode if you try to record the game make an edit where it's the "they called me the dread wolf, what will they call you when it's all over?" And it plays the "they'll be calling me royalty" drop from Royalty by Egzod and it's just one of those badass edits of Rook? Thanks

NSFW WARNING AGAIN

My friend recommended me a scene for me to write bas/Lucanis smut and this is the blurb she wrote and I love this is about to be COOKED

Bloodbath (link to read on AO3)

I'm just going to put this out there... if anyone would care to read the first chapter of the AU fic...

Except @corvus-frugilegus I'm tagging you because half of this is your fault

Pairing: Rook/Lucanis

Summary:

Illario is in over his head a lot worse than he thought. A lot worse.

Excerpt:

It was too quick, too unexpected. Lucanis couldn’t react, couldn’t even register what was happening before Illario had Zara by the throat, before her neck made a snapping noise, before she dropped to the ground, boneless.

“I told you this is Crow business,” Illario hissed as he turned from her corpse.

Spite roared, and Lucanis roared with him. As much as the demon’s elation had been ecstasy, his anger was wrath, sweeping Lucanis along.

“No!” he roared, lunging at his cousin, “Mine!”

His arm drew back, knife poised to strike, when he saw a glimmer of fear in his cousin’s eyes. True fear.

Then Illario’s arm moved. He caught Lucanis’s wrist in a vice grip, stronger than he knew his cousin to be, leaving him and Spite straining forward.

From behind Illario, there was the sound of a deep, smooth feminine voice, chuckling slightly.

Between straining against Illario’s grip, and straining against Spite’s determination to get his knife into Illario’s eye, Lucanis watched in horror as Zara’s slumped form slowly stood, her neck snapping back into place, low laughter still echoing off the walls around them.

If Lucanis had thought there was fear in Illario at the sight of his glowing eyes, it was nothing compared to what he now saw in his cousin’s eyes as Illario strained to hold him back.

“Lucanis!” Rook’s voice came from where she and Davrin had been standing, but her shout was followed by two grunts of pain as Zara pointed a hand toward them. 

[rookanisstuff]

If Solas is back in the regret prison at end game and Rook isn’t, does that mean he can still access Rook’s dreams? Does he ever stop using the blood magic? He’d be spending ETERNITY there so I’ve got to believe he would cave and enter their dreams on multiple occasions just to interact with someone? Otherwise it’s just him and the Blight stuck in there, right? Is Rook months later suddenly finding themself standing across that ravine from him getting stared down by a lonely old god?

OC Tag Game

Okay so I wasn't exactly tagged directly, but I saw my dear friend @redheadsramblings do this and couldn't resist talking about my Rook. So here goes.

General:

Name: Given name is Sol Aldwir. He doesn’t like the name at all. He's Rook Volkarin now, thankyouverymuch.

Alias: Well Rook used to be an alias. Now it's his name, so. No aliases I guess.

Gender: Male.

Age: 31 at the start of Veilguard. I headcanon Emmrich being 56 by then, so there's a nice quarter century between them. They don't care.

Spoken language: Elven and Common. Emmrich tries to teach him Nevarran to varying degrees of success.

Sexual orientation: I realize that I haven't really thought about it, but now that the question has been posed, Rook's gay.

Occupation: Veil Jumper before the events of Veilguard. Worked mostly as a bodyguard for tinkerers, did the occasional tinkering himself when it was necessary. Not too good at it, did it mostly in dire situations. After Veilguard he takes a breather for a while and then he and Emmrich get a daughter and Rook is a stay at home dad for the most part. He leaves for an expedition to Arlathan here and there though, so he doesn't fall out of practice.

Favorite:

Color: White. I actually really liked the moment in game, so it stuck.

Entertainment: He likes to read adventure novels. Sits upside down to do it. And he loves to listen to Emmrich read to him. He doesn't care what it is about as long as it's Emmrich reading it. Also Emmrich's singing.

Pastime: Running climbing jumping he just needs to move! Loves going to Arlathan for this reason, there are many trees to satisfy this need.

Food: Mostly anything sweet. Lucanis shouldn't have introduced him to churros.

Drink: Water. And tea after he started dating Emmrich, cause tea offered opportunities to be with him. Rook's a dork like that.

Have they:

Passed university: Nope. He learned to hunt and fight from the rogues in his clan. And then he joined the Veil Jumpers and just learned on the fly. This boy does not plan.

Had sex: Not before Emmrich, so he was very much a blushing maiden when they got together, so flustered by absolutely everything. But now they can't keep their hands off each other (but Emmrich can still make him blush with very few words, that's not going away).

Had sex in public: Does sex in nature count? Like a squirrel definitely saw them.

Got tattoos: Nope. Didn't want vallaslin either, felt weird to pledge himself to a god.

Got piercings: Also nope.

Got scarred: Yep. He's got a lightning pattern on the side of his abdomen where he was caught in an artifact explosion (tried to calm it and failed. A lot). And there are faint scars over his right eye after the Fade prison, he got a bit banged up as he fell.

Had a broken heart: Kinda? He got tortured by visions of Emmrich when he was in the Fade prison and fake Emmrich was very mean. The boy got a bit traumatised by that. But real Emmrich made it right.

Are they:

A cuddler: Oh hell yeah. He's very touchy with his friends and doesn't go far for a hug. And with Emmrich he's very very clingy. Sits on his lap, wraps himself around Emmrich when they sleep. Emmrich adores it.

Scared easily: Not really I think. He had to build up some resilience during his time with the Veil Jumpers, where he needed to think on his feet and fear would get in the way of that. But terrify him a lot and he'll freeze. Luckily that doesn't happen often.

Jealous easily: Nah. He's proud of his husband and thinks people are right to appreciate him. Will step in if Emmrich is uncomfortable though.

Trustworthy: Yeah. He would not betray his friends. Never ever.

Family:

Siblings: He's got an identical twin sister Willow, who transitioned when they were twelve. She's the clan's herbalist, has a very sweet wife and is a menace. She loves her little brother (five minutes younger) to pieces and will go out of her way to annoy him whenever she can.

Parents: Rook shared the name Sol with his dad. His mom's name is a mystery to me. They are very supportive parents, even if they were a bit sad about Rook leaving the clan. They gave him and Willow a happy childhood.

Children: Manfred of course. And Elanora Volkarin. Rook found her while visiting the Necropolis to see Emmrich's parents, so he decided to call her Elanora and Emmrich was very touched about that. She grows into a skilled mage and has a son she names Rupert. Rook calls her Ellie. Or little bug. She endures.

Pets: None at the moment. I could see him getting a cat.

So this was fun. I am throwing tags at my dear friends (show me your Rooks, I love them. If you wanna, of course)
