2, 10, 25, and 33 for Rhava pls!

late as hell reply bc i was braindead yesterday but im still chewin on rhava <3

2. How did Rook get the nickname? What do they think of it?

its mostly along the lines of how varric explains it in game. rhava is direct and bold, especially in his combat and how he casts. he's an assassin of a mage, finding the weak points in the veil and tearing through it to pull the magic he needs through from the fade. its a style based in raw power and a sensitivity to the fade, and very little technique. my hc for it is based on a spoiler reveal about the elves and a banter from dai about solas' casting style ;3 i imagine a circle trained mage must have made a comment about it to varric at some point, and varric made the connection. as far as names go , rhava thinks it's fine. matches his name well enough

10. Does Rook know their history? Do they know of the HoF, Hawke, the Inquisitor?

he knows about dalish history and the history of northern thedas. and since both the hero of fereldan (revas mahariel) and inquisitor (malion lavellan) and dalish in my worldstate, he knows plenty about them! i hc the clan rook is from has some crossover in where they roam with the lavellans, so he's probably only a few degrees of separation away from malion. and he's heard plenty about hawke from varric.

25. How does Rook like to spend their free time?

prior to the game he loved to nap. now he's afraid of solas being in his head, and doesn't enjoy it quiet as much anymore. he definitely plays that elven bass you can place in your room, i don't imagine he has the best singing voice but he's practiced. he likes bird watching.

33. What do fear demons look like to Rook?

the disappointed face of his keeper, specifically when he told her he was leaving. his brother imeric, blighted. wolves.
