10/15/16 for Ark for the oc ask thing :3c

10. Is your OC sentimental or pragmatic? Do they keep mementos or only what they need to survive? Have they always been this way or did something happen to make them change?

a bit of both, but he doesn't keep a whole lot of trinkets. he never had much when he was young, and sort of got used to pretty much just having what he had on him. he tends to travel pretty light since he doesn't really need much, so there's not much room for little mementos. what he does have, he holds onto, though. his trusty axe is held together by his average repair skills and hope, but it's not failed him yet and for that he really cherishes it.

15. What places hold significant meaning or memories for your OC? Do they have a positive or negative association with those places?

ark is from ishgard, and he's got some uh. Complicated Feelings. growing up in the brume, he hated the place for the longest time, and when he left for limsa he planned to never go back. the events of the game, of course, forced him to go back. and after witnessing real, tangible change and making some close bonds with the kinds of respected, noble people he never dreamed would have a shred of decency in them (and, you know, murdering the pope as you do in rpgs), he honestly started to come around himself. nowadays he actually goes out of his way to help with heavy lifting in the restoration efforts in the brume, wanting to do what he can in his old home now that he's realized it can change

16. How does your OC make money? Do they have a respectable profession or work a series of odd jobs? Are they a criminal? Or do they get creative in the pursuit of coin?

ark is an Adventurer(tm)! which basically means he'll do whatever odd jobs he stumbles into. he's not very picky and has a hard time turning anyone down whether it be for a completely mundane waste of his time or something exceedingly dangerous. he tends to go out of his way to take on the more dangerous side of the job, though - both so other people don't have to do it, and because he really enjoys being pushed to his limits deep down.
