#Temulun (OC)

[holly-bearie]

local tremere regent for my mini project 💃 her name is temulun and she was around when the dzungar khanate fell to the qing and she's still mad about it

[miqo-tales]

18. Has your OC ever had a prophecy made about them? Was it a big deal or did they ignore it? Was it straightforward or cryptic? Did it ever come to pass or did they circumvent it?

Thought about it for a bit for S'era and think I'd have to say, no, not exactly.

But I have a thought that whenever Temulun gave some prophetic words to Anya, she and her companions would assume they were about Anya, when they were actually about S'era. But S'era herself never hears them.

As for my other characters, no. But on the flip side, Tiara is a bit of a seer. The problem is that she sees things wildly out of order.

While on a job in Limsa Lominsa, they met an Au Ra, Ark, who introduced them to summoning. They began traveling together until after the attack on Rhalgr’s Reach, where they stayed behind to oversee events in Ala Mhigo while Ark dealt with the East. They then help with rebuilding Ala Mhigo and protecting people as needed when Ark is taken to The First. The two were reunited afterwards and combated the Final Days together. Ark retired to live with their wives, leaving the mantle of Warrior of Light to Yadokkya.

He has an affinity for celestial magics, so he picked up Sharlayan astrology during his time there. He also met Erenville, who inspired him to become a gleaner. His specialty is strange plants and he has a fondness for lunatender blossoms and carnivorous plants especially. He is apprenticing under Erenville to learn how to be a gleaner, and during their travels they became close and eventually partners.

While he is not a WoL and does not experience the events of the main story (up until Dawntrail, when he joins Erenville in Tural), he does have a faint echo that lets him see bits of the future, albeit rarely. It was Hydaelyn’s will that he was brought to the moon as an infant, since, unbeknownst to him, he is a reincarnation of The Watcher.

Brief bio: A particularly violent voidsent, Neit [pron. netch] arrived in the Source via a gate opened by the Void Ark. He possessed the corpse of an adventurer that perished trying to uncover the Ark’s secrets. Using his new body, he returned with the adventuring party to the Parrock, where he seduced Leofard in order to get closer to his goals. In his arrogance, he snuck aboard the Lady Radlia for a chance to kill a voidsent more powerful than himself–Diabolos. However, he lost the opportunity when Cait Sith vanquished Diabolos. He now wanders the realm, luring victims in with his beauty before depriving them of their aether. He favors the greatsword for combat, but also has no qualms about using his sharp claws and teeth to kill.

His original form on The Thirteenth was that of a gray-skinned Miqo'te. He was a soldier in the Contramemoria, known for his fearsomeness in battle. However, he was standoffish and preferred to work alone. He eventually succumbed to the allure of the darkness and was twisted by the Flood into a feral beast, doing anything it took to try and survive.

The body he possesses was named Eldgjá, a viera from the Dravanian Forelands who traded his hunts with the people of Tailfeather. In return, he learned stories of adventurers and decided to become one as well. At first, he hunted for clients, but he was eager to prove himself. And so he answered the call to explore the Void Ark, where he was slain in battle.

Khona'a

Pronouns: he/they

Age: 35

Gender: transmasc

Now they travel around Coerthas and the Shroud, sometimes doing odd jobs for the Twin Adders. He is fond of tinkering with machinery/anything mechanical. He helps with maintenance on Zinnia’s magitek arm, as well as making bullets and gunblade enhancements for him.

Zinnia

Personality Traits: stoic, protective, cautious

Likes: earthy colors, weeds, books

Partner(s): Khona'a

Brief bio: Zinnia grew up around The Burn, so as a result he struggles to manipulate aether. He was a conscript in the Garlean army until the events of the Ghimlyt Dark, when Khona'a saved his life and they ran away together. He had long forgotten his birth name, so Khona'a gave him the name Zinnia. He is fiercely protective of Khona'a. He is blind in his right eye and has a prosthetic right arm.

Intro + Directionary |

Hiya!! I'm Ken/Kei and this is my FFXIV OC blog for my character Akshay. There will be minor mod use (cosmetic only), so if you aren't a fan of that, please don't follow.

There will also be spoils up until EW, but those will be tagged with [ew spoilers]. Everything up to SHB will be untagged, so be warned! —————————————————————

Akshay "Aoidos" Mol Middle-aged (30 by EW end) | Pansexual + Unlabeled [He/him] IC Jobs: BRD | AST | FSH | BTN Xaela of the Mol tribe in Othard, The Azim Steppe (on Xalera). Adopted grandchild of Khatun Temulun, god-brother to Cirina. Known to many in the Steppe as Akshay of the Whispering Dawn.

Personality

Akshay is not a man of many words, preferring to move on without leaving even a name behind, if at all possible. His prominence as a Warrior of Light draws unwelcome attention, and he wishes to remain as private as possible. In reality, Akshay is not being cold. He is simply exercising caution. Living in an isolated hostile environment taught him that it's best not to show too much emotion to avoid unwanted attention or provoke aggression, so he generally keeps to himself in public interactions; however, if you can befriend him and gain his trust as an ally, fragments of his expressive nature begin to shine through. Beneath his stern exterior, he is prone to being surprised and easily agitated, and he detests being made an embarrassment of himself in public.

While he denies having wanderlust, as he enjoys rigor and discipline in his everyday life, he has always been drawn to those who tempt fate and travel off the beaten path, never passing up an opportunity for a memorable experience. As a result, it appears that the habitually emotionally detached wayfarer has begun to learn how to properly feel for those around him, much to his dismay. It takes a lot of commitment to prevent Akshay from retreating into his lone-wolf shell, but if you're willing to defend him and put up with his difficult emotions, his loyalty and compassion for allies seem limitless.

Likes

 Peaceful solitude, especially under the stars

 The quiet company of a trusted friend

 Freshly made, piping hot Steppe tea

Fishing

Dislikes

The Garlean Empire

The Syndicate of Ul'dah

Primal tempering, even extending to summoned aegis

Fire, explosions, and the smell of smoke

My Azem's name is Helen

named Azem after my long time OC who my WoL is using her looks.

Helen meant torch / light in Greek. WoL, Azem and my OC practically took the meaning and ran it like a relay race.

yes yes launcher of a thousand ships

Her background follow my OC more than Greek Helen though

"Light that guides, light that burns" I headcannon Emet qouting this both as a personal prayer and later a curse. Went with Azem being a guide as well a hunter/ranger of sorts. People are drawn to her in a certain sense (yes that party gem's magic)

Full qoute is this. “Gracious light. Light that guides, light that burns. How bright the torch guards through the night”.

Hit huge bonus when we got to ShB and the whole Lightwarden business corrupts and flip the good guiding light that a torch brings to harsh mindless burning fire

Much thanks to Temulun, Azeyma and probably Ardbert for adding fun to my headcannon on this.

Hylnyan was a deliberate mispelling to avoid it sounding like Halone (Halone incarnate)

Any time that an NPC mentions light, fire or guide it felt like I hit some fun stuff to add on to headcannon lore

1/1/24

What is your wol(oc)'s ancient's name? Why did you pick that name? does it have any symbolic reasons?

[secret-engima]

Also wait: you are doing a title thing??? When did this happen???? Have one of mine; We Are the Ones (To Ignite the Darkened Skies). (Ooorr: Beware (the Light Is Fading))

Just now. I’ve already been swamped with like- forty title asks (most of them from @byakko4 but that’s okay). So it will … take me a while to get to everyone. Still! *rolls up sleeves*

We Are the Ones (To Ignite the Darkened Skies):

Feeling another crossover for this one. Hmmmmmmm.

FFXV/FFXIV crossover. Set in the Long Night, inspired by @sparklecryptid because I don’t know FFXIV that well yet but WoL is amazing. Anyway-

Flipping the table with this AU and saying that while a Young, Dumb teenager in Insomnia, Noctis … well. Pulled a Regis so to speak and never realized it bore fruit.

The Long Night has been going on for five years when Gladio stumbles on a trio of kids, no more than 9 or so years old, all triplets, all black haired and blue eyed and burning with magic that Gladiolus- Gladiolus knows.

Oh no.

Oh Noct what did you do.

He takes them to Lestallum and only tells a few who they are (Ignis cries as he very gently touches their hair and faces, is surprised when they let him since they’ve been so prickly and skittish around everyone else). Prompto, Ignis, Cor, Gladio, Iris, and Cid all put their heads together to try to figure out what to do.

But these kids aren’t any ordinary kids. They’ve played this game, they’ve waged this war, they’ve seen things like this all before.

Temulun shares a look with Arasen and Cotota and sees the same resolve in their eyes. They only “Woke Up” two years ago, when they lost their mother din the flight for safety from the encroaching night, but they are Awake now and they are not going to stand aside and let the world they died for once already wither to nothing in the shadows.

They are Warriors of Light.

And they will banish the darkness, even if they haven’t even hit puberty yet.

Ardyn is NOT expecting the survivors to suddenly start turning the war of attrition around. To step forward with hope, to increase their numbers of Kingsglaive as if they have an LC to give blessings while Ignis and Prompto and Gladio crack open old tombs and research and plan where before they were just existing and mourning and waiting for the tragic end they knew awaited Noctis.

He is not expecting to catch a glimpse of three fire-eyed children with so much light trapped under their skin he can almost taste it from here, does not dare get close because the daemons under his skin are all screaming that to come near is to be purified and destroyed.

Cotota’s head snaps around and even from the shadows, even from the distance, Ardyn can tell the girl is looking right at him. She bares her teeth in a smile and for the first time in a long time, the Immortal Accursed feels a shudder of fear slide down his spine.

WoL Blorbo Ramblings

I’ve wanted to compile my OC brainworms for a long long time so here’s the first of (hopefully) many post of me blabbering about my blorbo: Lillianne!

She’s my FFXIV character and a Dark Knight by trade. We’ve completed Endwalker, so beware of spoilers!

Lillianne is of Dotharli heritage, her parents were both part of the tribe on the Azim Steppe. They left, however, due to the violence and bloodshed around them and, wanting a more peaceful future for their daughter, journeyed to Eorzea. On their high-seas voyage, the ship was facing a heavy storm and was in danger of sinking, which prompted a quick prayer to Llymlaen, Goddess of the sea, from Lilly’s parents - and they made it to Limsa Lominsa’s ports unscathed. Ever since then, her parents adhered to the faith of the Twelve, and Llymlaen in particular, which is why it’s the patron deity Lillianne was later born under.

The family found a home in the Black Shroud, buying an old cottage beneath its mighty boughs and becoming subsistence farmers. Growing up, Lillianne learned everything about the trade, and her dream of applying to the Botanist’s Guild in Gridania came true when her parents gifted her an application on her 16th birthday! Gridania became the centre of her life as she honed her craft, becoming interested in Conjury and listening to E-Sumi-Yan’s lectures with glee in her eyes.

Eventually, next to Botany and Conjury, Lillianne would also learn a lot about herself, with a budding love blossoming between her and the stable girl Keitha, from Bentbranch Meadows:

And though their love would not survive them drifting apart in the wake of the calamity, the memories they shared will never, ever fade.

After the cataclysm wrought by the seventh umbral calamity, Lillianne’s life did not change substantially, surprisingly, as she helped in the reconstruction of her homeland wherever she could: planting new flora, healing the wounded or trying to appease the spirits under the Padjali’s guidance. As the years passed and Lillianne got older, she realised that, despite loving her home, her family, her friends and her life very dearly, she wanted more. There was a whole world out there, and she longed to see it all! As such, when she turned 26, with her parents’ well wishes lighting the path in front of her, she set foot on the outset of adventure.

This is where the story of the game’s main quest begins, and Lillianne follows the major events of it as the game lays them out. Of course there’s a lot of headcanons to flesh it out, but in general, she’s the WoL! I’m getting a bit tired too, so for now, I’ll lay out her canon jobs, which are mainly White Mage and Dark Knight (though, canonly, she’s also an Astrologian, Paladin, Ninja, Monk and Reaper).

Lilly started off as a Conjurer, and became a White Mage when Raya-O-Senna sought her out after slaying Ifrit. Lillianne stayed a White Mage throughout ARR, Heavensward and most of Stormblood too!

^ ARR

^ Heavensward

^ and Stormblood

On her journey back from Othard however, Lillianne noticed that the experiences of the Doman liberation, seeing her ancestral homeland and talking to her parents’ people had all changed her. The love she bore for those closest to her burned brighter than ever, and her desire to protect rose above all else. She remembered Temulun’s solemn prophecy still ringing in her ear; over and over she recited Fray’s words that had burned themselves so deeply into her memory, until she knew: She had to walk the path to its end. When Lillianne set foot on Eorzea again, she did so as a Dark Knight, pledged to the path until her dying breath.

No matter the challenge, no matter how insurmountable the obstacle in front of her, she remained true to herself, unto the end...

Thank you so much for reading! There’s still so much to talk about, like all the little quirks that make her so special to me, her love life (she’s in a polycule with Lucia and Ysayle!) and so... so many screenshots to share. See you next time, and thank you again ♥

Return to Mol Iloh

[chysgoda]

Temulun Kurogane the Wandering Oracle

Temulun does not speak of the clan to which she was born. If asked she will state that she was called to serve all of the Steppe not just one clan. This is part of the reason she took her husbands family name when she had the twins. She had an extremely strong echo gift and is very sensitive to the will of Hydaelyn. Those who seek out her wisdom will find that it is first and foremost hard truths that are firmly based in the here and now. Her gift called her back to the Steppe when her daughters were five years old and she left them in the care of their father, Akagi Kurogane.

Character Inspirations: Granny Weatherwax (Discworld); the Oracle of Delphi (Greek mythology); Lady Jessica (Dune)

I have a problem, I can’t stop creating OCs!

[holly-bearie]

I love your Tremere regent! Is there anything more you can reveal about the character or her backstory? I'd love to find out more!

AAAAAA thank you so much!!!! i wish i had more details about her now 🥺🥺

her full name is Temulun Jaghatai, and she's a Tremere Bahari novelist who compiles folklore and spoken tales of Lilith, and focuses her studies on the branching of rituals and how they change and evolve based on who practices them (caine-worshippers vs the agnostic vs bahari, etc)

I haven't firmed up her human life or early unlife yet, but I'm thinking she was a storyteller that helped preserve oral mongolian epics and carried that passion on into her unlife!

[secret-engima]

Can I ask for the Triplets reactions to meeting Ignis, Prompto, Gladio, and Luna in your ffxiv crossover? or are those covered by spoilers?

Ohhhh tricky because I don’t know the circumstances where they’ll be meeting up yet? Because I’m still working through Realm Reborn cutscenes and I don’t think they meet the bros till Heavensward. Buuttt I can do some reactions I suppose.

-The three know in an instant that Luna Is One Of Theirs Now just because of how Noctis reacts to meeting her. They glom onto her immediately and find she’s super sweet and nice and adorable. Now, the group isn’t always together because Missions and things and Noctis sometimes goes with Luna and sometimes sticks with them, but they always find ways to hang out because Pack and Family.

-Temulun LOVES having another lady Au Ra to discuss things with and is all too willing to teach Luna how to properly care for her scales and loves getting her pretty things to wear. Luna, for her part, likes having someone to teach her how to Au Ra and enjoys being able to pick her own clothes and wear things even if they’re silly looking or frilly or whatever.

-Cotota takes one look at this White Mage who is not a Murder Machine and is like- You No White Mage Properly. I Protecc You. I Teach You to Attacc. Luna ... has honestly no idea why someone as violence prone as Cotota is a White Mage, but her heart’s in the right place and Luna does enjoy knowing how to defend herself. Luna also teaches Cotota some cool new ways to use her White Mage magic. Nobody else is QUITE sure how to take Luna’s and Cotota’s friendship.

-Arasen gives Luna shiny things. There is no romantic intent behind it in the slightest, he just thinks she’s sad a lot of the time and needs more shiny things. He also wants this friend/lover of Noctis to be happy and safe, so he’ll help do that.

-All three are strongly convinced that Luna and Noctis are escaped slaves and that Luna was used for her strong White Mage skills.

-Moving on to the bros, Arasen is a little alarmed by how poorly Prompto Miqo’te’s. Like- dude, dude your tail is not your enemy calm down. Here lemme teach you the joys of the sunny patch, it will super help your stress levels trust me.

-Temulun thinks Prompto is the cutest thing? She wants to put a bow on his tail but she doubts he’d let her.

-Cotota thinks Prompto is small and weak and skittish.

-She Will Protecc This Cat Bby.

-Cue Cotota picking him up and carting him around like a very confused stuffed toy.

-Gladio ALMOST runs away the moment he spots Cotota because ANOTHER BUNNY LADY OH NO. But then Cotota doesn’t do more than blink at his ears and then hyper-fixate on PROMPTO instead and Gladio is confused now.

-Cotota has no idea how weird it is to see a male Viera. She’s probably never seen another Viera period? Or at least only one or two from a distance, so Gladio is interesting only in the fact that he too has bunny ears. Honestly she doesn’t care all that much except Gladio is clearly not taking care of his ears and he looks like he would make a good sparring partner. So, she offers to teach him Proper Ear Care in exchange for smacking each other around the training grounds and once Gladio is 120% sure that’s not some kind of bunny come-on he’s down for it. They get along pretty well actually. Gladio is chill with her Murder Persona and Cotota is chill with him having bunny ears so it works out.

-Arasen things Gladio is Weird. Bu that’s less cause of the bunny ears and more because he gets along with Cotota so well so fast. Most guys are intimidated by the White Mage that wants to break their spines over her knee but okay.

-Temulun wants to put a bow on his ears. So. Bad. But he’s already touchy about his ears so she does the mature thing and refrains. For Now. Also she wants to know why he’s so scared of Viera ladies, but whenever she asks he just shudders and mutters stuff too low for her to hear.

-Ignis ... gosh I don’t even know where to start with Ignis’s intro to the group. Probably comes swooping in to save Noctis in all his blind, Iggy glory and Cotota is just like-

-“Arasen I like that one.”

-“...What.”

-“That one. I like him. He’s blind but he’s fast and he stabs things. He’d make a good nest dad. What do I do.”

-Arasen honestly can’t tell if Cotota is serious or not, but he will admit that Ignis is EPIC.

-Also kinda sad. Because when Ignis and Noct reunite (this being BEFORE they find/meet the other bros), the two cry all over each other and some things are obliquely referenced that makes Arasen think they were separated as kids and thought the other dead.

-Temulun thinks Ignis definitely needs help in Au Ra-ing, for all that he’s doing okay at winging it, and is SO PROUD when her two students (Luna and Noct) step up to the plate so well in helping Ignis get a Proper Grooming going. She also likes that he lets her help pick out his new clothes and doesn’t mind a few frills as long as they don’t get in the way of his movement or perception.

-All three are convinced that this group were severely mistreated in their youth and separated and probably thought the others dead.

-It’s Arasen that goes very, very still one day when its just the three of them and then announces to his sisters that Garlean names are fancy and weird ...

-A lot like Noctis’s and his friends.

-Who all have a VERY notable hatred for magitek and other imperial things.

-Cotota and Temulun go very still, and its actually TEMULUN who sing-songs softly as she strokes the fur of one of her carbuncles, “I’m going to hurt some imperials today...”

-The three never bring up their theories to the Chocobros or Luna, because they don’t want to trigger anything but ... they watch, and they think about it.

[secret-engima]

talisward replied to your post

If you put Noctis with the Trouble Trips, then...

An eternal war with his horns and tail- He chased his tail, didn’t he. Does he have all those baby dragon instincts, as he never had a chance to know them and grow out of them? Occasionally pounces on twitchy things, chases things that run, hiding or curling up like a hatchling when startled or unnerved… if they hadn’t thought he was abused before, they’d definitely think it then. Finally semi-safe, and backsliding into behavior he never had a chance to experience.

 *slaps table* YES. THANK YOU. THIS. He just- can’t help himself? He’s usually so busy suppressing Crystal memories and trying to hide the fact that he knows LITERALLY NOTHING about this world at all that he just doesn’t have time to suppress these new instincts to chase-play-hide.

He also oscillates between being hyper aware and twitchy over his tail and horns and forgetting that his tail and horns EXIST so he keeps forgetting to compensate for them when closing doors or going around corners. Cue hissing as he accidentally pinches his own tail in the door or smacks horn first off a corner because hello yes these exist and need to be taken into account when moving.

Temulun and Arasen try their best to help him compensate for the tail and horns thing even if they don’t get why he keeps doing it (the instincts they get, the lack of control over his own tail and forgetfulness less so). Temulun also has endless reserves of patience to explain to a frazzled Noctis why he has the urge to hoard all the pillows and blankets in the inn room for a nest and why they aren’t mad at him for it and other such Instinct Incidents.

Don’t mind Cotota in the background. She’s just casually planning Murder for whoever did this to Noctis.

The three rapidly come to the conclusion that Noctis was a slave, but not of other Au Ra. His master must have been some race that didn’t have horns or a tail and that’s why Noctis doesn’t understand them, because he was the only Au Ra wherever he came from and had no one to learn from via observation.

They also have to get special cream to help him with his scale sores because he keeps picking at them (they itch and pinch and hurt and stick out of his skin and aren’t natural these aren’t his scales this isn’t his body get-it-off-getitoff-). Temulun teaches him proper scale grooming and tries not to cry when it becomes clear that Noctis is trying not to cry over the sheer relief of his scales no longer feeling like they’re going to itch right out of his skin (and how many years, Temulun wonders, has he gone without anyone to teach him proper grooming? Considering all his other bby dragon instincts, had anyone taught him at all? Has he gone his whole life up till this point hating his own scales because they hurt and itch and he never realized that they weren’t supposed to do that?).

I just want to say your HCs are propbly the best things ive ever read, keep it up

hgfdgh thank you that’s very sweet.

Have another! *smashes cup*

-Temuge, is like- the Best Dad™ okay? He just is. Never failed to support the dreams of his bbys. The only thing that can be held against him is Cotota’s completely inappropriate White Mage job. This is because when Cotota was just a Wee Bunny Lass, toddling along behind Big Dragon Dad while Arasen napped on his shoulders and Temulun napped on his hip, Cotota saw a group of Adventurers trundling by to the teleport stone thing and asked him who they were. He told here they were adventurers, like him, brave people who went out and fought monsters and things to keep other people safe.

-She then pointed at the Big Burly Aggressive Warriors and Dark Knights and asked who they were.

-“Those are the tanks,” Temuge told her, “They make the enemy chase them around so that the other adventurers can hit them.”

-Cotota nodded with all the solemnity of her- like- three year old self and then pointed at the White Mage, “Who’re they?”

-“That’s a White Mage, he makes sure that none of his friends get hurt.” By which Temuge meant that the White Mage healed them in battle. Thing is, bby Cotota has had to deal with Aggressive Bby Dragon Cousins all her short life. Bby Cotota is a Bunny Girl Naturally On the Warpath.

-To Cotota’s brain, this information translated to “Tanks run around being big noisy distractions while the White Mages Wreak Destruction To Protect The Pack.” Because the only way to keep her Dragon Cousins from bullying poor Arasen was to Kick Them Really Hard, so obviously that must be what White Mages do too, right? RIGHT?

-Temuge had no idea what he had just unleashed as Cotota got a Glint in her eyes and announced with all the certainty of a three year old, “I’m gonna be a White Mage.”

-Temuge, poor fool, just chuckled, “You’ll have to train very hard for that.”

-And so she has. By aggressively kicking the ever-loving mud out of anything and everything willing to Throw Hands with her. Temuge has since tried to talk her into either Chilling Out or looking into a different Job, but nope. Cotota is gonna be a White Mage because in her mind They’re The Ones That Get Things Done. The fact she can heal her friends in between Kicking Whatever Hurt Them just makes her even more certain that White Mages are Best.

-It’s also because of that little speech that teeny 4′5″ Arasen became the tank of the group, because when he was thinking about what job to be as an Adventurer when he grew up, Cotota solemnly told him that he was really fast and noisy, so he would make a good Tank, because Tanks run around distracting the monsters.

-Everybody just ... politely ignore Temuge have a Meltdown in the corner over his tiny Cat Bby declaring he’s going to be a TANK.

Cotota: “I am the White Mage. It’s my job to make sure none of my friends are hurt or die.”

Cotota, hefting a Giant Weapon: “Therefore it is my job to Kill Everything That Might Harm Them. That way my friends will never be hurt.”

Arasen, Temulun, Noctis, the Scions, the Twelve themselves: “Cotota no that’s not how it wORKS COTOTA-”

I really love your Trio of WoL's cause they're all great. I'm just here to tell you that.

hgfdgh thank you. I’m not sure what to do with them yet because I know so little of FFXIV and Noctis being in the AU makes it ... easy to accidentally take away their spotlight in my head, but I still love them and can’t wait to play around with them in drabbles and stuff. XD

More random HCs about them for lols:

-Arasen is a pickpocket. Who knows where he picked up the skill but he did and he loves using it to prank people. If you’re a jerk you’ll probably magically lose whatever valuables are in your pockets/on your person. If you’re poor, or just a really nice person, random nice things from candies to shiny things will magically appear in your pockets.

-Will climb the nearest available high surface at the earliest opportunity because he is Smol and he likes being able to see.

-Not afraid to sic Cotota on people.

-Cotota will eventually be both a White Mage and a Monk. For these reasons, no one knows how or why she has the random collection of weapon that she has. She has no training in them. Cotota. Cotota why do you need that giant sword. Cotota where did you get a Japanese war fan the size of Arasen (think Madara’s war fan from Naruto). Cotota no put that down. (She will not put it down, she will gleefully smack you over the head with anything in her collection because her staff is for channeling magic, not cracking skulls, and she’s tired of washing blood off her shoes from kicking people).

-Is actually a Really Good Singer. Very nice voice. Only willingly sings for her siblings and Trusted People tho. That epic opening song of Realm Reborn? Answers? Yeah she could totally be the one singing that if you ever somehow bribed her into being onstage and Loud.

-Is still debating on whether or not she should kiss Thancred or kick him through a wall. Why those extremes? Because Cotota Logic™ says that if you really love someone you cuddle them because large amounts of physical contact indicates trust. If you only LIKE them then you perform minimal contact. Lips are small. Ergo, kissing. Unless you aren’t trustworthy, in which case a foot to the gut that sends you through a wall is still a relatively small area of physical contact and is Very Good at making her point for her.

-She thinks Y’shtola is Cool™.

-Temulun likes girly things. Doesn’t indulge in them often, but she really likes girly things. She is also the only person who can get Cotota to consent to a pretty bow tied around one of her ears (or anywhere near her person in general Cotota has an Image™ to maintain).

-Probably has a crush on Thancred. Does not act on it because she can tell he’s a flirt and she doesn’t quite trust that, and also because she likes Thancred and doesn’t want him to be murdered via Overprotective Siblings.

-As both an Archanist (I think that’s the right class) and later a Summoner, she loves her Carbuncles. Dotes on them. Pretty bbys. So fluffy.

-Never let this girl unsupervised in a library. If you do, don’t expect to see her again for another 48 hours, and even then its only because you’ve tracked her down and found her Fortress of Books that she’s huddled inside, slowly working her way through each one with a Carbuncle in her lap.

My Troublesome Trio WoL OCs be like:

Random Person: Which one of you is the WoL?

Cotota, Temulun, and Arasen: *hold the world’s fastest rock-paper-scissors game behind their backs where the loser of the first match goes up against whoever didn’t participate*

Whichever one loses the final match: “Ffffffffff- hi! That would be me.”

Random Scions/companions who happens to be watching this: *narrows eyes in confusion because the time they asked they each were told it was a different member of the group.*
