SEND ME PICS OF YOUR OCS!

Hello hello frens! So, I occasionally do this thing on Twitter where I ask people to send me their OCs, and draw a couple of them when I’m feeling uninspired. I wanna try this out on here as well, so… SEND ME REFS OF YOUR BLORBOS and I shall attempt to draw some of them! The style in which I’ll draw them remains to be seen, I may just wing it as I go 🖤 (my art, for anyone curious: here)

OC Smash or Pass: Vaisha Soveniss

You already know how this works. "Other" option is for some sort of incompatibility or you'd just rather be friends or study them under a microscope or some secret fourth thing

Yoinking an open tag from @hazelkjt

Basics:

Height: 6'11"/~209cm

Age: 34

Gender: wizard

Pronouns: They/He

Sexuality: Grey asexual with heavy masculine preference

Pros:

Herbalist and apothecary with a broad working knowledge of plants for both medicinal and arcane uses

Well versed in basic survival skills

Enjoys a good book and loves taking recommendations

Very nice voice. Very. Nice.

Will not mind one bit if you decide to infodump to him

Cons:

Heavily prejudiced against Gridanians, especially conjurers

Has no limits they will not surpass in pursuit of knowledge, particularly occultist powers

Frustratingly private about themself

They don't shy away from violence as a solution

Details:

Grew up in part of a Gelmorran settlement that was later taken under the protection of the Redbelly Wasps.

They're a Hearer, but due to their fire aspected aether and existing while Duskwight, they've been thoroughly rejected by the conjurer's guild numerous times.

They leave the Shroud to continue their self-taught thaumaturgy skills and become a black mage. WoL!Vaisha continues on to Limsa and eventually becomes a summoner. They prefer magic that does not rely on an external source, as learning magic is something that cannot be taken away from them at any point.

They will use any form of persuasion in conversation, from genial manners to underhanded blackmail, all with the same serene smile in pursuit of their goals.

WoL!Vaisha's Echo power is to control the emotions of the people around them, for good or for ill. They cannot create new emotions, only suppress or amplify.

They enjoy the finer things in life. They relish the notoriety that being the WoL/a powerful mage gives them, and will often dress in fine linens and silks and drape themself in jewellery to supplement their natural arcane ability.

While travelling is not off the table entirely, they do prefer to stay in one place for extended periods of time.

They prefer to be nocturnal, so early risers will not see them very much.

They don't tend to put much effort into maintaining connections much farther than how useful one is to them, so creating an actual bond is quite difficult and requires a lot of patience and even more luck. So far there has been one exception.

Sexually dominant and will adapt to whatever their partner wants but mostly uses sex as a tool to further their own ends.

What is your character arc

corruption arc

so. you got worse. and i'm not entirely sure i can blame you for it. maybe it was in you all along, hidden and waiting, or maybe someone planted it in you and watched it grow. either way, it's there now and you hold it in your fist like a second heart - this blood, this hunger, this thrill of having teeth and using them. perhaps you are right to. you are a mirror for the hardness of the world, and a mirror that we could all stand to look in more often. it's hard to watch the bleeding bring about more blood, but it is undeniable that you are very good at wounding.

What does your soul smell like?

Coffee

key words: intelligent, old soul, complex. you are an extremely thoughtful individual with a creative mind and loving heart. being around you is like sinking into a warm bath. there's something truly wise about the advice you give others, and being in your presence leaves others feeling warm, reassured, and inspired. compatible with: coffee, candle smoke, freshly baked bread.

Which Aesthetic Colour Are You?

forest green

You’re in your own world, spinning fictions and building realities and finding the poetry in ordinary things. The people around you can tell there’s something special to you, and you’re well-loved by a some very good people. But even to your closest friends, you’re a bit of a mystery. This always surprises you to hear, because you don’t mean to put walls up– you just get so caught up in things nobody else sees that you forget to let yourself be seen. You’re complicated, and sometimes you get tangled in it. Don’t worry, though, it’s not off-putting; despite your accidental air of mystery, your warmth can be seen like a campfire through distant trees.

Did the happiness chart from Gallus and I guess this is also an informal OC introduction of sorts? I guess? Anyways here's the current lineup of blorbos

[lilbittymonster]

Deciding that Vaisha has hella aether sight on par with Krile and I'll ponder the wider implications of that re: elementals later but I remembered that they were originally supposed to wind up with Aymeric post ShB as they recover in Ishgard, and had thought of a whole Extremely Gay sequence of events where Aymeric asks if his aether is as blue as the rest of him.

Having a powerful aether sight also has lots of Implications during ShB as well and I think that he and Y'shtola would grow closer during that time. And she would yell at him for his stupid plan of trying to absorb as much Light as possible to try and wrest control of the sineaters from Vauthry.

I really need to get them out of ARR MSQ I think he just finished......Ifrit? He has to do the cheese dungeon still.

[lilbittymonster]

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

I have been trying to find a voice claim for Kitali for years tbh. The downside to her having such a clear voice in my head means that it's been very difficult trying to find a real life person who sounds like that.

I based her accent off of Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman from the Hobbit movie, and he uses his natural Welsh accent, so Kitali would sound Welsh to us, but I don't know enough Welsh voice actors to pick from 😔.

I do have voice claims for Timoria and Vaisha though. Timoria is Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman and Vaisha is Matthew Mercer as Sylas Briarwood.

Thanks for the ask @l3ylines

For the FFXIV OC asks

29. Their greatest regret?

I can't think of any for Kitali so I'll answer for Vaisha instead.

Their greatest regret is not keeping in touch with their childhood friend as much. Soloverse it's very up in the air if they ever meet again but the shared canon verse they do reunite during the Ul'dah portion of HW MSQ.

Thanks for the ask @sparrowsong-7

FFXIV OC Asks

[lilbittymonster]

What advice would they give to people seeking to visit their homeland?

Vaisha would simply say "don't". They get a lot of people asking questions about the nature-loving, peaceful Gridanian nation and they are the first to dispel any illusions.

If they're feeling charitable, they'll point the way to Buscarron's, but no further.
