[vancilocs]

ive been passing time in night shift by filling out an ask meme for fenrir n also merope. enjoy blah

glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?

Fenrir is tall and has big old wings growing off his temples, those are the major parts of his silhouette.

Merope stands out by being a cyclops, it's more common where she's from but in the court she's the odd one out. Also her long thin ears. She might clip the tips behind her head during formal outings with some of the pretty ear clips she has

face: Describe your OC's face. What's their smile like? Are their orbs cerulean? What would someone notice first when looking at them?

He's got a pretty thin and worn face, sharp features. Crows feet, eyebags. For someone so physically imposing he's got a warm smile. His eyes are red (not like he's-been-crying-red, the irises) and tired.

She's got pretty soft features, round cheeks, full lips, laugh lines. She's got a very sweet but demure smile. Her eye colour is pretty striking what with it being this opalesque light blue.

stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

He's tall, in his youth he was muscular and stocky (always the largest of the siblings), now he's got more of a dad bod but is still strong. His clothes are tailormade and pretty tight to cinch his waist, he favors comfort over style so it's just what fits. He gives his tailors a lot of free rein

She's on the shorter side, and she's always been curvy with bigger hips and bust, and a bit of a belly. With age and children she's gained more weight especially to the stomach and thighs. She wears well tailored clothes that fit nicely, she's not trying to accentuate anything, whatever looks good. Some clothes make Fenrir go monkey mode but those are reserved for their private quarters

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

He's well coordinated, used to his size and width and utilizes it. You can tell that he's very strong and that he hits hard from the way he moves. Aware of his surroundings.

She has an elegance to her, and is used to the long gowns so they don't hinder her at all. Has learned how to walk fast, what with her being so much shorter than her inner circle

stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?

Bounces knee, fiddles with cuticles and hair, sometimes with feathers. Has managed to kick a nail biting habit, and keep his trichotillomania under control

She tends to sit calmly and observe, hands on her lap, looking at whatever's interesting.

canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all?

Some very old scars from when he was a mercenary and got into more fights, big rose tattoos around his body (though plenty faded now), and one on his face. Two X's under one eye. Ears pierced from multiple places, a healed lip piercing. At his coronation and wedding his attendants makeuped his face tattoos away but he doesn't let that happen anymore.

She has a lottt of stretch marks, mainly on her belly and thighs. She has piercings under her eye, cultural stuff, but the lip ring she had at her wedding was a faux one. Has a couple of ear piercings. Wears all her piercings proudly.

night: What does your OC wear to sleep? Do they have a favorite pair of PJs, or are they more the birthday suit type?

Pants, maybe shirt. Often shirtless though

Long silky sleep gown with long sleeves.

day: What does your OC wear on a normal day? Why do they default to those clothes? Do they wear similar things, or do they change it up?

High quality wools and linens, but simple, muted colours. It's what's comfortable and easy to put on.

Beautiful dresses, everyday looks are usually cotton. She trusts in pastels, especially blue.

formal: What's your OC's formal look? Do they like dressing up? Do they have different looks for different occasions?

He has so many formal looks. Wildly embroidered and embellished tunics and cloaks and furs and engraved leathers and jewelry and crowns he gets put in when there's an event. He's not a fan, but accepts it at this point (and he has a say in what he wears so if he wants to include chainmail in it, who's gonna tell him no?

Like Fenrir, people like to offer their services and give her gowns as gifts for events. She mostly enjoys it, the dresses are beautiful, but it gets tiring to be a mannequin for too long (especially when she was pregnant or was barely out of recovering from birth, please do you really need me out there in this 10 tier silk dream. No you can't cinch my stomach in. Baby in there)

informal: What's your OC's lazy-day look? How do they like to dress when they're winding down?

Pants, a shirt. No socks or shoes

A long tunic (or Fenrir's shirt) with leggings or a loose comfy dress. Socks on.

outerwear: What's your OC's outerwear situation? Jacket, sweater, cloak? What sort of weather do they deal with most and how do they protect themselves?

Heavy fur cloaks and woolly jackets, he's used to cold and snow.

Cloaks (Fenrirs is always the coziest and comfiest). Fur-lined, pretty.

footwear: What does your OC wear on their feet?

Boots, usually. Very well made.

Comfortable shoes or boots.

road: What does your OC wear while traveling? Do they have high-quality equipment, or are they making do? What does their gear look like?

He wears his everyday gear, if he's on horseback then he has appropriate clothes but usually he's confined to a carriage when traveling

More or less wears her comfy, everyday wear. She gets travelsick easily and thus doesn't travel often, and when she does she prioritizes comfort.

armor: What kind of armor does your OC wear? Is it well kept? Bonus: where does it come from? Is there a story behind it?

Might have a leather reinforcing layer under his clothes, just in case. No bigger reason other than that he's king.

No armor.

arms: Does your OC have any weapons? What weapons do they carry, and how do they wear them when they're not fighting?

He always has a dagger or three hidden on his person, and carries a sword on his hip.

No weapons.

roots: Is your OC's look inspired by any specific style of clothing or fashion trend? What are the roots and/or inspiration for their look?

He's dressed very traditionally for the area he lives at. His inspiration is being comfy.

She's well intergated into Fenrir's court, but also pays homage to her homeland and culture in her clothes. It took her a while to find a good blend of the two.

texture: Does your OC favor any specific kinds of cloth or textures? Is there anything they can't wear or don't like? What sort of fabrics do they prefer?

Very malleable, only thing he doesn't like are lacings and things that take time and effort to put on/take off

She enjoys light and airy clothes, silky smooth textures. Anything that flows well.

wardrobe: How big is your character's wardrobe? Do they wear things threadbare, or can they afford new clothes often? Are they any good at mending and repairing their own clothing?

Large ass wardrobe because tailors want clout from him wearing their stuff and offer him new things to wear all the time. He doesn't buy often, it's gifts. Good at mending things on his own though, his attendants aren't allowed to throw slightly worn clothes out

Giant, people keep gifting her dresses. She doesn't quite know what to do with them all, she doesn't even fit into like half of them anymore. Some she's given to Ylva, some will be worn by Nepheli, and probably will go on to any daughters Ylva and/or Alex might have.

bling: What jewelry does your OC wear? Does it have any meaning?

Earrings and rings these days, sometimes necklaces. They're for bling, though some are gifts from friends and loved ones he cherishes, like from Angharad (the dragon queen). Most important one is his wedding ring he never takes off, also he has the signet ring that a king wears. He threw an epic tantrum when it was given to him because he thought they had taken it off Gandr's corpse

Heirloom earrings and ring from her family, a memory of her homeland when she moved away. Wedding ring, very important. Alongside gifted gowns she has a lot of gifted jewelry, including from Konoe as a wedding gift and Angharad as a gift for some other occasion like birthday or baby being born. She has the queen's ring but doesn't wear it, would feel weird to have something that's from Fenrir's mom.

hair: How does your OC wear their hair? Does it have some kind of meaning?

Mainly down, or half-up. He enjoys having long hair and he knows it's pretty. No other meaning.

Down, half-up, braided, braided half-up, bun, braided bun, so much real estate to do a lot. She's proud of her hair.

makeup: Does your OC wear makeup? How often? What kind? Why do they wear makeup, and do they like it?

Sometimes for events he might have a bit of blush put on, but that's by attendees. Used to wear messy eyeliner and eyeshadow for days at a time.

Just a little bit of eyeshadow and maybe blush on occasion. Some medieval mascara to make that eye pop.

favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

Wedding ring is numero uno. It's on his finger at all times

Wedding ring always, any jewelry gifted from Fenrir or her children

change: Has your OC ever drastically changed their appearance? Significant haircuts, big tattoos, complete wardrobe swap, etc? Why? How do they feel about the change?

He got his tattoos when he ran away from home, a bit of an impulsive decision. Then when he was dragged back home his hair was forcibly cut short and wings clipped and he was given completely new clothes (old ones mostly thrown away). He felt very naked and afraid during those times but didn't have the energy or gall to fight back

Not really, her wardrobe changed when she moved to the castle but she kept her favorite colours and was able to adapt.

alternate: What would your OC's alternate universe look be? If they're a fantasy character, what's their modern look? If they're sci-fi, what's their fantasy look? What AU would you want to see your OC in, and how would they dress themself? Bonus: Prompt an AU!

In the rockstar AU I think about at night Fenrir dresses up like a 50yo rocker dad (old jeans, old leather jacket, bracelets, rings etc) and Merope dresses like a suburban mom most of the time
