KALAIS MERCAR • he/they • non-binary • elf • rogue

An elf that lived in Minrathous as part of the Mercar family, only to run away as a late teen to track down their biological parents and their possible clan. After becoming a young adult, Kalais would return to Minrathous only to join the Shadow Dragons, which would later lead to the events of the Veilguard. A troubled elf, with family issues hidden under non-chalancy and charisma. Re-discovering themself would only add to the list of troubles.

Yet Varric saw through this, and thus, Rook was born.

"under the moonlight, this assassin makes a vow — to be with you through every adversity, until death."

"You deserve better, Kalais."

But what if my one and only option is you? I can't let go, I'll never let go. Not even after you've grown lifeless on my arms.

replaying the last mission + putting on a different armor. queue me going insane over how good they look.

I'm still not done. This replay might affect Kalais' ending so, this also means more screenshots later.

more screenshots also means new text posts. Have a taste:

I've wanted to do this done for a little while and I just took the time for it. Are you Kalais's type? spoiler: you most definitely are.

Here's the blank! :)

More trivia HERE!

Super excited for the shadow dragon week, so here's my Rook!

✨Draw your Rook next to a screenshot of their in-game self and note down their differences if there are any!✨

My main concern when I made Kalais was how much I suspected the hair style would repeat among other Rooks. It is, in fact, a pretty common one. So, when drawing them, I decided to make it a little more 'spiky' and push it down. The shape is still kinda the same, but alas. The inclusion of the 'anime hair vents' and the 'ahoge' are things that I do in my style normally. Of course I had to include them!

They originally had several body tattoos but I ended up removing them. (that makes their body ref outdated, lol) The only tattoos I kept was the one on their chest. and, of course, the vallaslin. Which I actually enjoy drawing.

Kalais is inspired by another OC of mine, Aeron Vettel - a Genshin OC. The dots are there... I promise. Pic for ref!

Overall, I love Kalais with everything I got and I hope to draw more of him this year. Cheers! btw, full portrait down below!
