Random's Rookery:
Spent most of today getting called a nerd as I worked my way through the screenshot folders for all of my Rooks. Some are just roughed in for now since there is definitely a bit of favourtism occurring with the ones I'm more focused on. Will randomly be updated as I flesh them out or add new Rooks(this is the short list - I have over 50 somewhat fleshed out Rooks and a handful or two of random npc's🥴)

Doesn't see any point in romantic relationships as the only one they've ever seen that was good was their parents, and in Makié's mind, no one can live up to that example- Not even Makié. Their first and only relationship as their main source of proof to that fact.

One previous (non-sexual)romantic relationship, was extremely tumultuous, met during a contract - Veil Jumper- Iseri: killed by a Venatori.
Living on the outskirts of Treviso and staying away from the larger cities had kept their family safe, for the most part, but hindered Makié in other ways. Greatly dislikes even having to deal with populated areas that aren't Treviso/Salle.
Canon: Ended up banished from Treviso for a while due to derailing a larger plan that the Crows had. Temporary or not, essentially exiled and sent to work with Varric to help him find someone they claim is Fen'Harel. Angry and distraught.

Eyes: Honey Brown
Height: 190.50 cm(6'3")
Hair: Black, long and usually kept pulled up away from his face.
Scars: The burn scars on the right side of his face and left side of his neck are from his sister when he tried to fight back the night she sold him. The scars on his body are from the slaver she'd sold him to using him for blood magic rituals. Camris is insecure when it comes to the scaring on his face, though he does his best to act otherwise.

Camris and his brother were the result of a surprise pregnancy.
Lissette is a Magister from a family of Tevinter supremacists and wields those beliefs in the Magisterium.
Gideon is blind to the faults in his wife due to being busy focusing his attentions elsewhere, sowing discord between his children by blatantly favouring and spoiling his sons.
Angelica is 15 years older than her brothers and is the reason both of them went missing when they were children. While his twin hadn't yet manifested(it is unknown if he ever did), At age 8 Camris was quickly targeted by his sister after he found himself in her dream one night. The development of his Somniari abilities making him a threat to her position in the family, she sold them both just to be safe. He found himself with the Crows almost a year later after he killed the blood mage slaver that he'd been sold to. He does not know who his brother was sold to, just that she made sure to separate them.

=================================================
Zaer remembers their parents. While they had more favour because they were both mages, Zaer remembers that they were still treated badly by their owners. How they were threatened with him being sold if they didn't fall in line and obey. He remembers his mothers stories about her clan and how she helped with the ceremonies of those that passed. While his father didn't talk much about his clan, he always talked about going home if they were ever able to escape.
And they were -always- planning to escape. Things just kept happening. Their first couple of attempts failed, it's how they met. Then they had Zaer and didn't want to risk putting him in danger. When he was six, the threats to sell him increased when his own magic manifested. Then they had Siha not long after his seventh.
A couple of months later his parents had gathered their children and only what was absolutely necessary when the sounds of fighting came and they took the chance to run. He remembers the noise, the chaos on the field, the bodies.. So many bodies.
And then his father yelling his mothers name as she collapsed. Something painful on his face across his left eye, the sticky warmth of his blood as he tried to wipe it away so that he could see. The sight of his mother curled up on her side to protect Siha, the sound of her breath stuttering one final time. Their father trying to shield them with his magic only to fall at his wife's side.
The angry lines that etched their way across the right side of Siha's tiny face as he took her from his mothers arms and curled up between his parents bodies because he didn't know what else to do. Then quiet came with the occasional distant murmuring from survivors as they left.
When he finally sat up he'd heard a gasp and found Charon Mercar staring at him and Siha. When Charon tried to come near them though, Zaer had thrown fire at the man to warn him back. The next hour had been spent listening to the man try to convince Zaer that he meant them no harm, at one point he'd even sat down on the field and spoke in a tone that might have worked on a puppy but only earned him a look of distain from Zaer as Charon slowly shifted his way closer.
It took the suggestion and then sworn promise of medical care for Siha before Zaer let Charon near them and after he finally handed Siha over to Charon, Zaer stayed with their parents for a few minutes, fingers carefully tracing over their Vallaslin as he repeated words they'd taught him, words that would guide, words that he didn't fully understand yet but felt compelled to speak.

Family is Altus(father is part of the Magisterium, older brother is Venatori), but he no longer has contact with them after they disowned him for falling in love with a man. It was bad enough that he'd never manifested magic. They'd even tolerated the fact that Alaine had cast off what they considered normal in regards to gender, but bringing a man home was the final straw.
He left Minrathous and never looked back. As he and his partner Revari debated on a new place to settle, things took a turn when they fell victim to a Darkspawn attack as they were headed to see Revari's family in Hossberg. Alaine was blighted, while his amatus died. Alaine only surviving because the Grey Wardens in the area were able to have him do the Joining in time to save him.
