Thank you @storm-called​ for another fun RP event! Pictured above is @kralkatorrik​‘s Marwyd (bandit outfit, left) attempting to teach people to lasso the dolyaks that seemed to escape their pen whenever you turned your back. Also pictured is Cwlwm (me! bottom left), @moonlit-grove​‘s Dion Swiftbreeze (bottom middle), @sparrowchute​‘s Sparrow Tail (wings, right), @silvesi​‘s Lichen Larry (very top of head above Sparrow’s wings), Niddhil (top right, sorry I didn’t get your tag!) and the esteemed @storm-called​‘s Coyote Wrangler at top astride a raptor!

above: Larry, Cwlwm, and Dion

Larry and Cwlwm again, as well as Hosea Sleí

For Dion: What's the best part about your village, in your opinion?

"Huh... Best part? There's a lot of great parts, but the best? Huh..."

She proceeds to hem and haw as she thinks, weighing her favorite parts against each other.

"I guess... I guess I'd have to say how fun it is to get around? Lots of different levels and the docks are fun to travel?"

1 and 2 for Dion!

DION MY BABY

For Backstory, I'll have to go with an instrumental version of What Else Can I Do.

A lot of her life was spent learning what she could do. Olmakhan don't always have mesmers. Mindtwisters are pretty uncommon. There's only a few in the tribe. So what could she do? She was always learning. Always exploring. Pushing the boundaries of her magic. It was fun!

For her personality, it'll have to be Love For The Living.

She loves the living. She cares about life. Not about kingdoms or factions or legions. The living. Sure, it gets challenged sometimes. Sometimes she does have to fight and hurt people. Maybe even kill people. But she still cares for the living. No gods, no masters. Just love for the living.

Dion/Boticca for the ship meme?

So fun fact I have actually considered shipping them! They would really get along and love taking care of their skimmers together. Technically they already really get along, they're great friends. Being romantic would just be a step up in their relationship.

comin into your inbox with a free space--have 29, 34, 38, and E for whoever you most feel like talking about right now! :D @kerra-and-company

ooooo :3c current brainrot is Dion (desert) so we'll go with her :3cc

 Do they usually live up to their own ideals?

Most of the time, yes. It's when she's facing Flame Legion or Bangar's Dominion that she goes against it. She believes in second chances. She believes in people, in the goodness in people. Having to kill someone... That's hard for her. She wants to just immobilize them so she can get away. But she can't.

 How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?

Very. It eats her up inside, she sits by a fire at night, staring at the coals until it hurts her eyes. It's gotten much worse since she doesn't have someone she can talk to about it, being so far from the Olmakhan.

What memory do they revisit the most often? 

A few come to mind a lot. Every time she portals, she remembers and chuckles at the first time her magic manifested- she accidentally portaled herself up on top of a bluff with no way down. Sometimes, staring up at the skies, she remembers the first time she saw Aurene, flying through and clearing the way for the Commander.

Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

If I could get her to sit down, definitely. But she's excited to learn about the world so it might be a little hard at first.

Do you or any of your characters have festivals they really enjoy? I always like thinking about them participating in the festivals like we do when they come up

@commanderfloppy

Yes! Dion (desert variety) loves the Four Winds! She gets to relax and be a skimmer handler- sometimes taking part in races herself too! She loves seeing the skimmers play and especially when she gets to see familiar faces! There was one sylvari she saw every year, always renting a skimmer until he finally got one of his own. And he was so excited to show her!

Lately, Lexii has started really enjoying the Super Adventure Box. Doing it with her partner makes it a lot more fun! Kanni (@krewe-yukii) challenges her in fun ways and she has a blast exploring with her. She also really enjoys the snow in Wintersday.

OC Question hour, for anyone you feel like talking about:

What is something they find challenging to balance or multitask?

(@uselessidiotsquad)

Dion finds it hard to balance her social life with her mirage training. When she was younger, back in the tribe, she was spending hours every day practicing her new magic. Sometimes she’d completely miss times she had plans to do things with friends. She often still misses dates.

Do not ask EngVie to multitask while she’s working on Schrodinger or other tech. She will mess up and it will be bad. Otherwise, absolutely. She’s somehow amazing at it otherwise.

kimty.....

i’ve made a charr on my US account, this is Dion! I’m still deciding on her surname but :3ccc kimty

She’s a mesmer but she will fool people into thinking she’s a warrior

[moonlit-grove]

Dion sleeps on her stomach and must be on something soft and smooth to sleep through the night

Cybill sleeps in a ball if she's not snuggling (@thoseofuswhoblossom) Serin and is used to sleeping on the ground but prefers it to at least not be lumpy

Narcisa cuddles up to older and bigger charr and likes it fall asleep on cold metal

Cicero must sleep in a pile, he cannot sleep otherwise
