no but this bc i was always given praise and then i went to study linguistics in uni and guess what. everyone there's insanely talented (who would've thought, i know) and suddenly i'm not even average, i'm below average. still haven't picked up the pieces of my confidence & ego & it's been years 😭

claude & silvan would both be terrible at it, neither would get the point at all and just lose their temper

arek & lyra would *hate* the game, but they'd do just fine. especially arek would probably even be good at it, since he's great at compartmentalization and strategization.

artemisia & revas were born & raised to play games like that 🤭 might not enjoy it but they're scary good at it. might be that artemisia was literally born into a noble antivan family & revas was brought up by a talon.

oh boy do they 😆

arek's image is super serious and all broody and closed off, when in reality he's a big softie and cuddlebug. does benefit him more to be seen as big scary dude though.

revas does her best to seem like she's a nonchalant hardass. guess it's easier, being an elf

silvan admires magic and mages, though his admiration looks a whole lot like jealousy, bitter glances down his nose and snarky remarks.

claudius is honestly afraid of it. they're a mage and sometimes just knowing that makes them terrified, they're so afraid of the magic consuming them.
my rook silvanus. he's a qunari with large horns that curl downwards like a ram's horns. he's got black and gold eyeliner and metallic face paint in a triangular shape. my rook claudius. they're a qunari with grey skin and grey hair. they are wearing make up, mainly a smokey eyeshadow and blush across their cheeks and nose, and their eyes are pale violet colour. they're wearing the reddish mage starter outfit. they have two smaller upwards pointing horns that are adorned by metal cuffs.

revas has bad experiences with tevinter mages so she's not thrilled, but doesn't hate it either

arek is incredibly suspicious of magic & was taught that mages are dangerous

lyra views magic as an extension of her being, a sixth sense of sorts

artemisia is simply indifferent 🤷‍♀️
my rook revas. she's a red-haired elven woman with lots of freckles. my rook arek. he's a buff qunari with grey skin, white hair in a bun and a tattooed arm. he has only one big backwards curling horn, the other one has been broken and only a stump remains. his eyes are silvery grey with black scleras. my rook lyra. she's a pale qunari woman with upwards pointing horns that are adorned with metal cuffs. my rook artemisia. she's a human rogue, has light skin, short blonde hair and freckles.

nettles *thrives* in it, autumn and winter are her seasons

astraea tolerates it, esp. the crispy days when skies are blue & world is pretty

verna hates it. with passion. but she hates hot weather too so 🤷‍♀️

rosemary enjoys the excuse to bundle up by the fireplace with hot drinks 😁

revas isn't that much of a freak. she'll participate in being freaky sure enough, but likely it's her people-pleasing tendencies speaking.

claude and silvan on the other hand are both little freaks. claude's endlessly curious and silvan's a full-blown hedonist, always chasing that next high.

arek is a certified freak, though not obligate one. "anything goes" kinda dude. if his partner initiates it, he's game more often than not.

lyra is a selective freak, and only with people she fully trusts – she doesn't have a deathwish like her dumdum brother apparently 🙄

i think arek is used to it, or at least ppl asking him to repeat his name. he usually just tells ppl to call him rook instead if they don't catch it the first time.

now revas, she primarily uses rook when she introduces herself for this exact reason. and it doesn't help that

claudius was not taught religion under the qun, but after spending more time with emmrich and learned more about the mourn they've started exploring the realm of spirits and nevarran ideas of afterlife. they don’t like the idea of gods though.

silvan, funnily enough, has very similar ideas,

revas was brought up as andrastian with hints of elven lore, but she doesn't follow any religion nowadays.

arek is leaning towards agnostic, but he's skeptic on the best of days.

lyra is a mourn watcher and a scholarly one at that, she believes in the spirits and the fade.

for nettles it would be wyll – they're both lawful but i assure you the old fox has some mischief in her that she could drag wyll into

for astraea it would be gale – i mean, who's gonna assume that the two nerdiest bookworms you've met could get up to no good, right?

astraea loves loud and big and from the rooftops. if she loves someone or something, people will know.

nettles loves openly but quietly. she doesn't make a lot noise about it, but you will know.

rosemary loves carefully, like a stray puppy.

verna loves rarely, but when she does, ↓
