Does your OC have a particular fear or phobia?

I answered for Avi here, so let’s answer for Eko! Simple OC Ask Game

Eko’s biggest fear’s similar to Avi’s. However, where Avi fears losing everyone and being alone, Eko fears feeling ostracized and shut out of community.

Growing up was difficult for her because home wasn’t a warm place to be. The island she and Avi grew up on didn’t really feel like home to her.

Thavnair does, and she will do anything for its people. I feel like…. She thinks that if she fails to give back in any way, she might lose her place in Thavnair and Radz-at-han. I think if she were ever able to face public scrutiny in Thavnair for anything really, it would send her into a panicked spiral.

Did your OC's parents or other caregivers use any specific terms of endearment for them as a child? Do (or would) they use similar terms for their own children?

Ty for the ask, bitty! 💕 OC Vernacular Asks

8. Did your OC's parents or other caregivers use any specific terms of endearment for them as a child? Do (or would) they use similar terms for their own children?

Avi’li is the third son in his family, and unlike the Keepers of Gridania, Avi’li’s clan doesn’t send their sons away.

So to differentiate between them, the sons all have diminutive names.

Avi’li’s oldest brother, Avi’a, is called Aya.

Avi’li’s second oldest brother, Avi’to, is called Toa.

And Avi’li is called Lia.

Diminutive names are associated with love and closeness for him. Avi’li gives a nickname to everyone because it is just what is done. Thancred is Thanny or Than, Tataru is Taru, Alphinaud is Alphi, Alisaie is Ali, Estinien is Est, Aymeric is Aym, Yugiri is Yugi, Erenville is Eren, so on so forth.

When he has kids (he wants a big family :>) then yeah he’ll nickname all of them too. Nicknames are his love language.

not at all serious science poll I’m just curious:

when did you start getting really attached to your WoL? when did it click for you? when did you “fall in love” if you ever did? when did the WoL’s actions and place in the narrative really start to become interesting to you?

16, 24, + 36 for avi 🥺

tysm for the ask, gigi!! 💕 OC Vernacular Asks

16. Does your OC's body language sometimes give away what they might prefer to conceal? Or are they practiced at ensuring that their physical presentation matches their stated positions?

Generally Avi'li is pretty open with feelings, or at least he doesn't mind if people know them. His ears and tail and eyes are all expressive.

When he finds his feelings difficult to describe is when he starts hiding them. He'll get stone-faced, not really talk or if he does he's snippy and curt. He goes into crisis mode where he bottles everything up so he can survive. It took him a while after ENW to come out of that survival mode. Everyone close to him knows this tell, or at least knows that he’s having difficulties verbalizing something, though they wouldn’t know the specifics necessarily.

Here’s a snippet of one of Erenville’s observations of this:

Erenville’s seen this expression before, in Labyrinthos. Distant gaze, relaxed brow, but the set of Avi’li’s mouth belies the worry beneath.

Avi’li share his nervousness—he watches Avi’li’s eyes, ears and tail flit about anxiously—but it’s little comfort. Flirt and charm are second nature to Avi’li. This… hesitation feels wrong on him.

24. How does your OC's voice change when they are trying to persuade someone else to let them have their own way? Is this particularly persuasive? Perhaps only to certain people?

He definitely turns on the charm to get his way. He’ll talk lower but stronger, be more direct and forward with his words, really lean into the Corvosi elements of his accent (rolling ‘r’s, longer vowels, melodic). And this approach varies on speed depending on the situation. Slower for interpersonal matters, much faster for bigger or political matters.

36. What is your OC's laugh like? Is it a genteel titter? A hearty belly laugh? Or a snorting noise like a constipated donkey?

It’s rough! It’s one of the default miqo boy laughs… kind of comes from his chest and isn’t like a deep belly laugh but it’s rough and a little scratchy and a little deeper than his normal speaking voice. I love it so much. ;u;

I always imagined that Zenos showed much more open pleasure in taking Arthur's body (for... reasons) and this was how I envisioned it happening. heh
