#and veilguard is sooo good when its good

[venusmage]

Y'know that thing where a character is objectively badly written, but you still like them and even feel protective over them specifically because you see the potential they have + the source material treats them poorly and its Not Their Fault

Idk where i was going with this. Anyways, I love Rook guys :')

17, 38 and +1 from the fifty rook questions if you’re doing em!

YAAY thank you :33

17. How’d Rook get those scars?

All magics related .. the one of his face is from necrotic magic gone wrong . The touch to his face was brief but the damage was done , he’ s learned to live with it . He has a webbing of thin scars on his body and that is ! Also ! The magics … his palms and tips of his fingers too are scarred .. listen . He was a bit too eager to show off how well he was at necrotic and ice magic and he ended up paying for it . He was a good mage but an Awful Student

Most of them ( aside from the face ) are hidden under body paint ( or gloves ) 9 / 10 so most don’ t even notice them at all

38. Did Rook have any relationships before Veilguard?

Not really … ? He never had anything develop outside looking at each other for too long and maybe brushing hands when we walk beside each other .. + when he was peak getting Good Grade at Mourn Watch he was like “ a relationship might distract me … plus thats like dating a coworker I wont do that . “ then post having to gtfo his reasoning was “ I am SOOO not stable enough if someone looks at me for a second too long I might imprint or get fucking mean “ . So yeah he has relationship experience and its all . Um . Well

+1 What does Rook smell like?

Dust …. I think a general scent of old parchment is kinda stuck to him . Along with the scent of pressed flowers . Vaguely sweet but definitely earthy and definitely the lingering traces of Necropolis just always There
