Very Beautiful, Very Powerful

If you had complete control over the decor in your Rooks' rooms at the lighthouse, what would they look like? What kind of items and decorations would you find in their rooms? Would they get a real bed, or just keep sleeping on that sad little couch we get in-game?

Bonus question: If they could choose their "spot" literally anywhere in or around the lighthouse, would they hunker down somewhere else?

whats up sorry it takes me a million years to remember i have an inbox <3

I, personally, would LOVE for one of these bitches to have a bed. Torva is too damn big for that stupid little couch!!! Bring in a fuckin bed!!! But unfortunately, it likely does not even occur to him to get a bed until someone suggests it. Other than that, he doesn't have a lot of personal effects, but he absolutely keeps that wooden gryphon toy, among a few other personal trinkets. Absolutely drags in a little table for card games. He's definitely the type who acts like he doesn't really know what's going on and then sweeps the pot. Davrin probably heard from Evka and Antoine not to actually bet against him, and Dav took it as a challenge.

Feli is used to a certain degree of comfort, he will not tolerate that couch for longer than a single night, if even that. YES, he lived as a mercenary for a while and as such is used to sleeping rough, but why would he do that when there's an option? He ALSO worked and lived in a number of lavish brothels!!! Give him a goddamn feather mattress or give him death! Over time, he'd furnish his little parlor with a lot of plush, fancy furniture. He'd get himself a kettle, because he likes tea (and likely a whole little bar and some shelves just for all his different kinds) just an ABSURD number of froofy pillows and blankets, and he'd definitely need more than just a single wardrobe for his clothes. Maybe a nice rolling rack. Varric calls him Highness for a reason.

Vena is used to sleeping basically anywhere, but yeah he's a tall boy and that couch likely wouldn't suffice for long. He gets grumpy. Hell, it might be a "gift" from someone else because they're sick of his attitude. It'd definitely take him a while to start furnishing it himself, just because he's not very used to having downtime. I think over time he'd slowly accumulate a couple chairs, maybe start a small collection of books and such. I think he's got a weakness for those serials Bell is so fond of...

I think Torva would be content with his cozy little cave with its water view (though he always wakes up in the middle of the night needing to piss like mad, with the water noises all night)

while Feli would probably like to go somewhere high up, maybe a room in that overlook in the main lighthouse. Give him some quiet solitude, some nice views, and maybe some big windows so he can throw open his lush curtains in the "morning" (however time works in the Fade) to get some sunlight.

Vena, i think, would also like somewhere high up, but for different reasons than just the view. He likes having a good vantage point, and lots of accessible escape routes. Yeah, there's the risk of falling forever if he makes a misstep, but that's part of the thrill. (Plus, if he dies because he fell out a goddamn window, he'd say he deserved it.)

enough Lucanisposting, it's Torva Time

[bosspigeon]

he's so cute im gonna frow up

[bosspigeon]

this actually fits right in with Torva's lore tbh

[bosspigeon]

aaaayyy Vashoth-specific dialogue! :D

[bosspigeon]

idk i just thought it'd be fun to see them all together :3

i've been letting my playstyle sort of develop Torva's character a bit, bc it actually really goes along with the backstory i've loosely constructed for him!

he's a mage, but he doesn't fight like a mage. he throws himself full-force at the enemy instead of firing off at a range. he is mowing them down with his bulk and blasting them with magic almost as an afterthought

torva fights like he forgets he can do magic

[bosspigeon]

whos torva romancing? totally unrelated innocent question with no ulterior angsty motives, how long has torva been a grey warden?

Tbh I'm not 100% sure yet, I'm mostly going on vibes, but I've been leaning toward Emmrich 😩 that old man has bewitched me

aaaand I'd put it somewhere within a 10 year time frame? I was imagining it taking place sometime during the events of DA2, probably between act 2 & 3, if that helps! He's been with them a decently long time, long enough to be fairly accomplished and have a reputation

your qunari rook looks super cute! do you have any plans for them? ive been in the cc for 6ish hours now lol. i CANNOT for the life of me make my poor inquisitor look similar to how he did in dai. 🥲 at least i finally got my buff elf! 😤

THANK U!!! his name is Torva! :D i've come up with a smidge of backstory for him, but unlike when Inquisition came out, I'm holding back on Vomiting An Entire Story before i've even played the game 😅

i believe you get access to the mirror of transformation or whatever its called when you get to your base (i think that'll happen after dealing with the solas situation). it definitely exists tho.

YEP! the boy has been Slightly Edited
