Gonna spin the wheel and ask for 1, 5, and 7 for character 36!

And number 36 isssss.....Llaryen!

1. Write a basic lowdown of your OC. What's their deal?

Llaryen is a necromancer-turned revenant Nightmare Courtier, though he doesn't so much act to further the Nightmare as much as just mill around being miserable. He essentially sacrificed himself so his beloved could escape the clutches of the Court, but in the process of his subsequent conversion his necromancy got "corrupted" into a lore-bendy version of revenant magic (though given EoD stuff it's less bendy than it used to be) where the spirit is channeled through him and into a minion that hangs around and insults him telepathically while waiting for him to let his guard down so it can bodyjack him.

Behind the scenes, he has the extremely rare honor of being one of the few characters that has a fic written about him, since I rolled his number for a randomizer exercise I was doing a few years ago! It's over here!

5. Their most favorite map/place in general?

I swear not all my Courtier characters mill around Caledon, but in this case Llaryen does, and specifically the area where Dolorous Vale (the Courtier camp he operates out of) opens up into Ogham Wilds, aka that waterfall area that imitates the sylvari tutorial instance in the Dream. This is the last place he was with his dearheart and therefore also the place he was captured by the Court, but despite that the area still holds strong positive memories for him so he tends to hang out there reminiscing whenever he can.

Additional fun fact: the banner image for the fic I linked in the last question is a view of the sky from this very spot!

7. Do they have a favorite mount?

Technically speaking that account doesn't have mounts yet (whoops), but any he would use IC would be either Court-affiliated (I'm thinking large nightmare hounds or spiders) or something he rigs up himself with necromancy and lets his resident spirit drive around, though that is an infinitely more risky option considering the spirit's recklessness. Mechanically this would work out to a jackal skin of some kind minus the teleporting bloops, or something wholly original in the case of the spider (rip that one scrapped spider mount idea ;-;). Essentially, largely terrestrial but with a smidge of verticality to make navigation easier.
