Kudos to everyone planning more than one Rook ahead! I have only planned one so far, and some things depend on how the factions or the background descriptions feel within the game. Not sure if they add in-depth background descriptions that contradict what I came up with, but oh well. I will play a human male mage (Spellblade) called Isaya, around 24 years old. He has been in a circle since he was 8 and fled from the chaos during the mage rebellions to escape his cage (that's how he feels about it). His goal is to reach Tevinter, because he heard stories about mages being free there. On his journey he conceals his magic use though in fear of being discovered and relies on a stealthy approach, eventually finding someone who teaches him how to properly use and fight with a dagger. The theme for this Rook is rejection, since his parents were so afraid of his magic they abandoned him. He feels society is rejecting mages as well, and he didn't have any friends in the circle because being shy he kept to himself and rather read books instead of forming close bonds. His teacher will also abandon him when he finds out Isaya is a mage, which is another punch in the gut for him. (Dang, the fear of mages is real in this playthrough! ) I want him to end up in Tevinter with the Shadow Dragons because he's appalled about how things are in Tenvinter and wants to help. But if it somehow doesn't fit I'd also be open to Lords of Fortune or even Crows. Can't wait to see how everything feels in-game When Veilguard starts he will be a hardened young man that doesn't let people too close, but enjoys working with them. In all my Dragon Age playthroughs I never played someone like that, but I did a couple times in Mass Effect and it is the most rewarding thing when opening up to people that become important to you. I have no plans on who to romance, I will let it grow organically, but feel he could end up with either Lucanis or Neve, they could be a nice fit. I usually romance the character I like most while discovering what they're all about, or the one who fits my character perfectly. Who knows, I might be surprised with which companion he ends up with

In another thread I posted I would do 6 playthroughs, one for each faction. First will be human mage, Second male dwarven warrior. Third will be qunari. The third has me thinking of what the character will look like. After seeing the male version and then the female version, I will go with something outrageous, if the character creator allows. The qunari will be short and skinny with green hair, red beard and blue skin. The background story for the character will be when he was growing up, he was picked on for his size. He didn't like it. A lot of times he would run to a quite place to get away. One day, he ventured in the nearby woods only to be ambushed by several mages. They tied him up using him for their experiments. The result is why his hair and skin are different colors. The qunari laughed whenever they saw him, but a few didn't take kindly to the bullies. They trained him to stand up to bullies. As he aged, he became one of the best archers. He also grew a very vicious temper when it came to mages. He will do what he can when near Neve, Emmrich and Bellara to not lose his temper. But he does vow if one of them gets stupid, he will put them down, hard. After what the mages did to him, he decided to use the name.....RGB

I decided to confirm this choice. While I still plan for my Rook to be charming and flippant (though potentially diplomatic and kind...we'll see), she is now a sword-wielding Dalish Elf rogue, hailing from the Veil Jumpers, who will learn the techniques of Saboteurs. I currently feel that she may exist in a morally grey area, probably with a more neutral perspective. Still mostly the same, but I'm flipping the elf gender, and he may wind up as a warrior with the city sub-race as a backup. My alternate will run twice for full testing purposes. She will be an aggressive and somewhat ruthless dwarf. I am leaning towards late forties and early fifties, with grey hair, and some scarring. She will probably romance Taash, but I will see how I like the companions once I meet them. The dwarf will be a shield-toss Reaper warrior from the Mourn Watch, then she will be a bow-focused pseudo-mage Veil Ranger rogue from the Shadow Dragons.

She will probably romance Taash, but I will see how I like the companions once I meet them. So sue me, the character concept for my alt has been taking me over, so I will change...one...more...time. I am going to just embrace the darn bow (probably still infrequently used), and have canon Rook be the previously mentioned: plan for my Rook to be charming and flippant (though potentially diplomatic and kind...we'll see), she is now a sword-wielding Dalish Elf rogue, hailing from the Veil Jumpers, who will learn the techniques of Saboteurs. I currently feel that she may exist in a morally grey area, probably with a more neutral perspective. She will be the older veteran, greying and scarred, who will romance Davrin for a bit (I am hoping I can use their different perspectives on Dalish culture as the wedge), then take Taash under her wing (and more). The alt will still be an aggressive dwarf, but I will only need the one run (shield-toss Reaper from Mourn Watch). Alt Rook will be male instead (with a magnificent beard), and will romance Harding.

I'm so going to be the only Reaper out there. I still need to see a bit more of the races before really picking one. Dwarf is still on the lead thought.

I'm going to play a reaper qunari (or maybe dwarf? I can't decide) for my second run, and have them come from the Mourn Watch. Mourn Watch is probably the faction I'm most interested in, but I want to learn more about them first to prep my RP.

I realize that I have plans for up to nine Rooks, mostly motivated by wanting to try out every specialization.
Only one I have set in stone is my Reaper, who'll be my "default" Rook, and a Qunari.

Yeah, another Reaper! The game will have easy respec, so technically you only 3 characters to try out every specializations. You need 6 to try out every background/faction option.

So with cats being in Veilguard, not saying they will be pets...but do you think your Rooks would go with pets if they were an option and what kind?
Oliver- Would have a cat I think. I do love my troll concepts behind fantasy character pet names and what not and it would be rather hilarious.
Andromeda- What would a witchy witch be without a familiar? Even if she doesen't particularly like the whole Mortalatassi death thing.
Gianna- Not a Cat but probbaly a crow or even a bird of prey of some type...obvious reasons but it would still be fun.
Chris- Not sure he'd have a pet but maybe he would see if Davrin can't hook him up with a Griffon.

Not too worried what type of pet so long as there wasn't a possibility of it dying on me for lack of care. Still smarting over the fish in ME2. We get a fish tank in the Lighthouse and it is a big one, so presumably pretty self sustaining, particularly as I assume they are Fade fish. I'd like a cat. Used to have a real life cat but he died last winter and not felt the need for another one yet. Otherwise, perhaps my own griffon. I've mentioned elsewhere that a talking bird of some sort might be fun. I think, though, that we're unlikely to get a pet and we just have to make do with cuddling Assan.

She's a pirate and loves having them around to take care of vermin, after all.
As for my other Rook's... not sure yet. They're still in the pre-planning stage. A vulture or something extra like that for my Mourn Watch character would be dope though.
