30, BugšŖ² he/they, queer š things you can bring up to make me rabid (positive): Dragon age, Dungeon Meshi, Star Trek TNG, Hollow Knight, Disco Elysium, Ace Attorney, Titanfall 2
since this guy is all that has consumed my thoughts for the last who knows how many months, figured I might as well make a quick n dirty reference post
Pronouns: he/him
Age: 39 (turns 40 over the course of the game)
Sexuality: Gay, gay, homosexual, gay
Height: 5'10
Weight: Somewhere around 275lbs I think, he's a big boy
Hair/Eye color: Silver/gray (lol) and gray-green (depending on the lighting his eyes can look gray or bright green, but mostly its green-tinted gray)
Class: Rogue (but he isn't much of a fighter)
Faction: Antivan Crows (it's complicated)
Romance: Lucanis AND Spite >:3 (Emmrich also maybe, I don't know if I'm strong enough to juggle FOUR MEN in a relationship, that's a lot, but the Emmrookanis writers who do it are my heroes and give me life)
If you asked him his 'Real Name' he'd give you a tight smile and say, "That's a bit rude, don't you think?" Rook's 'Real Name' is complicated (because I can't let anything be simple) In an orphanage in Ferelden, they called the quiet little redhead Finn, but that wasn't his name. In a circus in Orlais, he wanted to blend in, so he told them his name was Benoit. But no one called him that. On a Tevinter slave ship, packed tight with bodies and chains, he shivered and prayed no one would notice him enough to call him anything. In House de Riva, too old to be a fledgling, and only adept at surviving whatever they put him through, he called himself Jackdaw, but a Crow that can hardly fight is hardly a Crow at all. So they called him Magpie: for his hair, already graying at a mere 25, his sticky fingers, and near constant chatter. When Varric finds him, middle aged, and thrown out of the only place he'd managed to carve out a home for himself, he gives him the nickname Rook. At first, he thinks it's a cruel joke. Another bird, not quiet what he was supposed to be, but as he travels with Varric, he starts to realize what it means, what Varric sees in him, and he wants to live up to that. So he is Rook. As far as discussion though, that is confusing and annoying LMAO, so I call him Silver. The accident that orphaned Silver left him fade-touched, not that he knows that. As far as he knows, bad luck has simply followed him all his life, and as an adult he has keenly honed his ear to that little voice in his head 'what's over there?' 'I wonder where that person is going?' 'this seems safe' that always led him into trouble, to the point where he can use his 'bad luck' like dowsing rods to find, ambushes, hidden treasure, important people, ect.
In game, when Varric introduces Rook as "an expert on trouble" I really latched onto that. I liked the idea of folding in game mechanics into his character, like the way Rook just kind of knows where to go for quests ect. Plus the way that Rook will 'nearly miss' jumps ALL THE TIME, so I made it part of him through his 'bad luck'. It's also a fun meta thing, if I want something to happen I can just blame that >:] I also really wanted a reason for Silver to be able to hear Spite, so being fade-touched already, plus Solas cracking his skull like an egg, I figure Silver can hear spirits in general at close distances. Not like he hasn't already gone through the ringer because of the ritual, now he's hearing voices. Sorry bud. (not really)
Appearance
Silver is on the upper end of average height and his build thickset, solid muscle under a layer of fat, completely by design. He is Much stronger and faster than he looks, so that people underestimate him, and so he can escape whatever sticky situation he ends up in. Thereās also a bit of vanity that goes into it, but an ample chest and ass can be, and have been, plenty useful. Silver is pale but Covered in freckles and fair body hair, with very short gray hair, and a matching pointed beard and curled mustache. His blocky eyebrows rest over gray-green eyes that angle downward, giving him an almost drowsy appearance. (He also has really prominent bottom lashes that are one of my FAVORITE things about his design) All of this combined with his hooked nose and full lips make his heritage hard to pin down. Silverās only tattoo is a geometric band around his throat of dwarven design, but he has plenty of scars. One on his upper lip, from when he was a child, faint ones around his wrists and ankles from the Tevinter slave ship, an acid burn across his hip from his first job with the Crows, and various scars on his arms and legs from narrow escapes. About half the time he goes around with an easy smile and relaxed posture, trying to slip under peopleās guard and notice, and the other half of the time he has a tight, wide eyed grimace as he tries to wiggle out of whatever problem heās stumbled into.
Personality
Silver has lived too many different lives, now the masks he wears feel more real than the man underneath. He is the Epitome of āhumor as a defense mechanismā. The last person who really truly loved him unconditionally died saving his life, so he believes he must keep people at a casual distance for their sake as well as his own, but if someone were to really get to know him? To understand all that he is and want him still, platonically or romantically? āDevotedā wouldnāt cover the half of it. A stranger just meeting him would see a smooth talker with an easy smile, joker, flirt, kind of a little shit, who will startle people with flashes of real sincerity and concern for others. Usually this care and concern lands him neck deep in trouble, but eh, what can you do. Someone who has known him for a while would see a man who watches and listens more than he seems, observation being his primary key to survival. Silver will always try to talk his way out of a problem first, but less in a āpacifism, kindness, youāre better than thisā kind of way, and more of a ācon man with his back to the wall and a pitchfork in his faceā kind of way.
āAnd if youāll give me 40% of the MOST POPULAR VOTE, Iāll give you my SPECIAL REWARD... A yearās supply of NON-GLOOBY SLIME!!! Never or BARELY used!!!ā Tenna concluded his speech with a huge smile, jetting his hands up in double peace signs.
The crowd roared in confused enthusiasm as Tenna gave a gracious flurry of low-FPS bows, pausing only for the occasional stink-nose at his audience plants who werenāt throwing enough 3D roses.
Eventually, the room fell silent. It was Senshiās turn to speak.
He puffed out his chest, took a long, sweeping look over the audienceā¦ and shook his head.
āI can see not all of you are eating properly.ā
The crowd murmured with embarrassment.
āI donāt know who needs to hear this, but itās time to take the turkey out of your icebox. I have seen the ingenious technology with which your people store food... and I have also seen the waste which results from such convenience.
āThe food you take had a life. Beasts grew fat on the grass of the field, plants grew from the sunās rays, and mushrooms grew from minerals in the cracks of caves. And yet, it sits in your iceboxes, collecting moisture until it perishes.
āEat what is given to you. Because its life will make you stronger, too.ā
Without another word, Senshi left his podium and stepped away from the stage. The crowd murmured in confusion. āIs he really like that?ā somebody said. āI only remember reblogging the photosets of him tripping and showing ass.ā

Back in the Green Room, Tenna wrung his antennas nervously.
āY-y-you think they liked me!? They HAD to!! I mean, I donāt know what Asgore was thinking, getting that weird haircut and running that food waste campaign, butā¦ YOU thought I did good, didnāt you, Kris?ā
Laios nodded aggressively, a streak of blue face paint peeling from his forehead.
āYou did AMAZING, Tenna! By the way, now that weāve seen all your insider campaign secrets, do you have any more videos of Susie? Especially her tail... If I could get a look at that, I could finally tell if sheās a dinosaur or --ā
THWACK. Fake antlers butted Laiosās head.
āLAIOS?? Werenāt we dressed up to help SENSHI???ā Marcille hissed, gesturing awkwardly with her hooves.
Suddenly, Tenna turned to the two adventurers.
āHey, WAIT a second. SOMETHINGās not right here...ā
Laios and Marcille held their breath.
āWhere the heck are my POINTS!?ā
Just then, the door opened. Chilchuck took one step into the room, whistling and holding a large bag.
Everyone turned to him.
Chilchuck paused, took a step backwards, and closed the door.
āCHILCHUCK!!!ā yelled Tenna.
āHow come Chilchuck got to stay Chilchuck!?ā yelled Marcille at the same time.

Meanwhile, in outer space somewhere, some guy was making out with a rock.
just realized they both like hanging around with tits out, but with a different flavor... ludovica is suffocating having to dress up as remy for so long for sure lol
Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.
One of the crazy things about JKRās holocaust denialism is that her book would not exist without Eva Ibbotsonās Secret of Platform 13. Ibbotson was a holocaust survivor from a Jewish family who escaped when she was a little girl.
In this cover alone we can see where JK borrowed Dumbledore, Professor Sprout, Hagrid, Hermione, and platform 9 and 3 quarters. Platform 13 is in Kingās Crossing
The book inspired Harry and Dudley very blatantly as well.
Donāt just take my word for it: the book is still in circulation and Iām sure a librarian would be happy to find it for you.
Instead of spending money on an author who posts up skirt shots of innocent women, threatens amnesty international, and pretends Magnus Hirschfeld, his patients, trans people, and Berlinās archives of important LGBTQ and feminist research werenāt victims of the Holocaust: spend money on a foremother of middle grade fantasy
There are SIX questions total in reblogs, the end will be marked by large green text. If you donāt see all six, check reblogs and grab the version with the ending note.
1/6 - Do you identify as some flavor of white?
White
Non-white
Only considered white outside of imperial core
Insecure Mixed Person externalizing my family racial issues here
Remaining time: 14 hours
Answers amended from the 2025 census based on feedback. If youāre mixed, choose what feels right to you Iām not here to do phrenology or paper bag test you but donāt make it my problem either. When in doubt, ask yourself: would the whites kill you too in the race war?
This census is US-centric because so is tumblr, unfortunately. This poll is also starting with a heavy Black/racialized bias due to my personal followers. The main point of this census is to see how white-dominant the site is currently compared to prior years, as well
For the purpose of this census, Imperial Core will be defined as the following: United States, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa, basically all of Western Europe, Japan, and Israel. If you want to argue about any of these designations, too bad maybe they should stop colonizing.
Otherwise cultural gender (please share I wanna know!!)
Other not listed
Cisgender
Remaining time: 14 hours 10 minutes

*For those who donāt know, TMA means transmisogyny affected (such as trans women, some non-binary people, etc.) whereas TME means transmisogyny exempt (Cis men, cis women, transmasculine individuals, etc).

THIS IS THE END! Please reblog for bigger sample pool ššš½
they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary
