Tentative idea doodles for some Rooks!
Illaryen von Bioware-pls-reveal-the-faction-surnames (they/them). Mourn Watch, mage, elf, in their 40s. If Mourn Watch elves have the option of having a Dalish background, I am considering going so on the nose that there's danger of a nosebleed and choose Falon'din vallaslin for them.
Personality-wise I want to press the sad clown trickster with emotional intimacy issues button so hard that Varric constantly looks over at them with something wistful and heavy in his eyes like '...y'know you remind me a lot of my best friend as a young man' (purple hawke you will always be famous), except with an added air of 'what if the sartorial choice of wearing a half-cape was a person'. Genuinely intellectually interested in everything Solas is doing and what it means for the understanding of magic overall, but doesn't agree with it, at least at the outset. Get ready for rigorous intellectual debates Wolf Boy, you'll be married to it for a while
Name pending (he/him). Shadow Dragon, warrior, dwarf, late 20s/early 30s. Just a really nice, very strong lad with high ideals and the desperate hope that a positive attitude can make up for lack of experience or understanding much of anything that's going on around him (Fade... what??? what kind of capital v Veil now???). Dwarves seem to do pretty ok in Tevinter all told, so if the backstories allow it I think a sort of defector from decadence vibe might be fun for him -- I imagine he's from a warrior caste family who have historically done pretty well in Provings and is now the family black sheep, having known the sky (shudders in traditional dwarf). Very much part of the 'we can fix him!' crowd in regards to Solas, quite possibly to a fault.

(I don't have romances planned out for either of them -- I need to see more of the companions and suss out their romantic vibes before I can make any decision about that!)
#illaryen entered my mind hair-first I just saw a haircut and a slight silhouette and I somehow knew... 'oh there they are'#also these two are on complete opposite sides of the 'comfort and familiarity with magic' spectrum haha#one of them a blasé 'oh yes the fundamental structure underlying all of reality we've all seen it' and the other a panicked 'what the FUCK'#being completely lost at sea about magic and incredibly stressed about it was one of my fave parts of playing my cadash#I think I could bring it back for another round of 'wtf do you mean this is where you guys go when you sleep???? hELLO?????'#return of the sounds fake but I don't know enough about your weird magic bullshit to dispute it#ooooh or this being tevinter maybe he's had friends who know all about magic and he's just been tuning out all their infodumps#good-naturedly jock style. he could just kick himself#many possibilities here much to think about#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#just to be safe#my art#rook
