I'm quite set on playing an Antivan Crow Rook first but I have some loose thoughts about a Mourn Watch Rook, just because of how metal that backstory is
they/them - who cares about gender among the undead?
very pale, greyish complexion, they've barely ever poked their nose out from the tombs; pretty much look half-dead already
have a very good sense of direction in the Necropolis, much better than anyone else, rarely gets lost
serves a kind of keyholder role - has keys to a bunch of crypts, tombs, corridors and passages
no one is 100% sure where all these keys come from
knows exactly what key goes where and how to get to the lock from anywhere in the Necropolis
has a lot of love and sympathy for the undead
absolutely hated leaving the Necropolis and aches to get back; is pissed off at their superiors for making them leave their only home because of a bunch of snotty nobles
a rogue?
a nerd
not fully up to date with what's going on outside of the Necropolis (but has all the tea about what's going on inside) and with other nation's cultures and customs
their last name Ingellvar comes from the name on the tomb they were found in - the Mourn Watch actually looked into this family after finding them but the Ingellvars died out centuries ago and there are no traces of any descendants; the name stuck with them though
I’ve got a fever, and the only cure for that fever is Emmrich in fancy shoes and body chains. 🌹💀🌹
