The actual scales are keratin, and don’t convey much sensation through them, so in that sense, no, they aren’t sensitive. However, touch along the scales can carry through to where they attach to the skin beneath, similar to how a human’s nails don’t really feel much directly, but you can pick up on pressure against the nail in the skin under and around it, and when they catch on something and pull it can be quite intense. How that feeling gets interpreted varies by the individual. Personally, after so much fighting, I’m pretty numb to direct scale contact, but touches along the skin around them can be… nice. Horns are a different matter. We hear via our horns, and the sensation of having them touched can be difficult to convey to other peoples. I’d say gentle strokes and brushes are the most pleasant, and for non au ra I’d liken it to something between how fingers running through your hair feels on your scalp, and ASMR sound therapy. However, it is very easy to press too hard and produce a grating scape — nails on a chalkboard should be a similar thing for the rest of you. Tails are similar to the rest of our scales, in that it’s more about pressure being conveyed to the skin under the scales. However, in the case of our tails, the proximity to a lot of already very sensitive areas, among a few more complex factors, makes all those reactions even more intense. Please regard touching the underside of an au ra’s tail, particularly near the base, to be as intimate as touching someone’s inner thigh.

Au Ra WoLs - are their scales sensitive? Do they like having their horns touched? What about their tails? GIVE US YOUR AU RA LORE PLS

If your wol(oc) could tell their past self one thing what would it be?

#wolqotd time! Your Warrior of Light/XIV OC is transported to the OTHER media you most recently watched/played/read: how are they doing?

[orionbun-wolqotd]

Among your WoLship who takes more space on the bed?

[nights-at-crystarium]

okay wolqotd place your wol on this spectrum

[redwayfarers]

I posted this on my main blog but I'm transporting it to my sideblog bc I'm having a crappy day and I'm sure this has been done before but I need serotonin this weekend

What's the thing you like most about prev's wol? Can be looks, story, personality, vibes, fashion, anything! Let's spread some positivity 🌞🌤

[ooeygooeyghoul]

Okay I'm really really curious. I need the numbers.

[uldahstreetrat]

oh hey look a wol question!

is your wol/oc looking forward to Dawntrail?

will it be a nice vacation? a new fun adventure compared to the world ending chaos they've dealt with previously? or are they less than thrilled? does it feel like they've been given just another job to do? are they only going because they want new places to go fishing?

Given that the WoL is a legend and is friend (or at least in good terms) with most of the influential heads of state on Etheirys at the moment...

How does your WoL deal with the many, many people that surely contact them to ask for favors of political nature?

Nihceh Ghoath - Married Haruchefant in a Knight's Elope ceremony. A common practice for Ishgardian knights prior to a significant battle. They go out with a Halonic priest to Menphia's stone for a quiet eternal bonding. Tataru, Alphinaud, and Francel attended as witnesses. They eloped right after the first encounter with Bismarck.

The marriage wasn't kept secret, and House Fortemps was surprised, but later quite pleased with this arrangement.

Is your WoL married, or is that something they want in life?

What was going through your mind when making your wol (oc)? What was the process like?

[sasslett]

WoLQotd! If you have Azem/Ancient OCs, what are their names and how did you come up with them?

[diadoesart]

Sort ofwolqotd sort of practice after bing sick for 3 weeks.

I like to think that when asked to perform in the Beehive she sings something jazzy and also unapologetically horny (imagine PMJ's cover of Pony).

What sort of routine did your WOL perform?

Fashion inspo was 50s Dior and Balenciaga

[eriyu]

WoL question!

Are there parts of the game's story that your WoL didn't understand? Aetherology, time travel, clones? Politics? Other characters' motivations? Have they come to understand any of it better in retrospect?
