Sylvari | daredevil | she/her

Pros and cons:

Pros:

- she's strong and real enough to throw you around like a sack of potatoes. Yes even if you're a norn

- if you want anything specific simply say it and she'll do it in one way or another

Cons:

- getting her to smash is very very hard, she does not want to be around anyone but it's a good stress relief sometimes to engage in

- she might kill you just for flirting with her. She will kill you by the end of the night

- you'll get leyline magic poisoning if you're around her for too long

CARA FEALLTACH

A steadfast and truly cruel sylvari, Cara found her home happily within the Court as a Monarch known for ruling their faction with the threat of torture and pain for those who couldn't live up to their expectations. They revel in the pain they can cause others, are wonderful at manipulation when needed, and are truly the worst possible choice for Commander. But Trahearne had been so disconnected from the goings on of both the Grove and the Court from his time in Orr. And Cara was so skilled and kind in the disaster that was Claw Island. Much time has passed now, she's shown her cruelty, but she possesses far too much power now to stop her. And with the dragons gone, truly what could oppose such a force?

KVOLD

Kvold is a rarity in that he was born in nightmare, alongside one other surviving pod after the Court raided the Grove to take as many pods as they could. The goal was to create Nightmare-born sylvari which was only successful partially in the few pods that survived the removal from the Pale Tree. He watched his Dream crumble and fade as it became hostile, having to fight to survive to emergence from his pod. This left him small and malnourished, relying heavily on his magic to defend and fight due to how frail his body had become. He spent years in the court under the manipulation of his duchess who ensured that he felt no one else would love or care for him as family. He's committed atrocities in her name, leaving soundless camps razed to the dirt with his fire. However, this was halted by the intervention of a sylvari named Lace (your lovely sylvari ;3c) who indirectly had him removed from the court by force before settling in as a new parental figure for the distraught and lost courtier. It's taken time, but he's slowly been able to learn that he can be kind and gentle and still find acceptance and worth in the world.

ILLIADDE

Born alongside Kvold from stolen pods, she fought her way through survival much more ferociously. As such, her growth increased to accommodate her needs to be strong against hoards of Nightmare. She emerged from her pod with thick tough overgrown skin, tearing her way out as if the pod could hardly contain her size any more. This newfound resilience was used by the Court to try and make the ultimate weapon, using connections to the Inquest to augment her body further in an attempt to make her truly invincible so that she could one way fell the Pale Tree for good. This worked well, for a time. But the weapon the Court created backfired when she was commanded to go deep into the jungle and retrieve Courtiers who had been lost there. Her loyalties did not outweigh her fear of the voice pounding in her head as she neared the jungle, so instead she ran and abandoned her siblings to the dragon. She spends her days mostly alone, occasionally acting as a mercenary but primarily just killing anyone who so much glances at her. She's nothing more than a broken, volatile husk that wants to feel nothing and see no one.

FHARIEM

An ex-courtier only by technicality of not belonging to any Court now, Fhariem still fully embraces Nightmare as the other side of the coin to the Dream. She simply thinks the more erratic and vicious factions that came in when Faolain took over are incorrect and take the wrong things from Nightmare. She spends her days deep within the Priory, cataloging what she knows of Nightmare alongside her Dreamer girlfriend.

ADMHAIL

A true Valiant of the Dream as few others could be, Admhail was born with a particularly strong direct connection to the Dream and was destined to use that connection to help others interpret their destinies and wyld hunts. However, so many Hunts are painfully difficult or border on impossible, and seeing and interpreting so many that he knew would end in failure or death wore on him harshly. Desperate to escape the visions, he blinded himself to grant his peace. But the roots of the dream were buried far too deep in his mind, and the visions would not cease even without visual context. They became even more overwhelming until he fled the Grove. As such an asset, the Court was fast to seek him out how that he wasn't closely guarded. And offered him something that no others could. His connection to the Dream was finally severed and Admhail found peace at last in the cold comfort of Nightmare.

CANARY LARKSPUR

She was a thirdborn who had been tricked and forced into the Court so soon after emerging from her pod, afraid and hurt. It took Yeats of honing her mesmer skills before she could successfully escape, slipping out of her Court and running until she ran into the aetherblades. She hopped on their airship and never looked back, finding a home among other runaways from organizations they fell into. And one day, she would find her footing leading what was left of the group after their disastrous events in Cantha.

CILLIAN FAEL

The Duchess of Light held a prestigious position within the Court, holding domain over an infamous faction that was a gem in Faolain's collection. When Faolain fell in the jungle, she was one of the first to grasp at the empty throne as the power vacuum set in. However, unlike others, she sought a path that would access a ruthless advisor. She sought Faolain in the mists, channeling the old leader through herself to gain a leg up and seize control of the crueler Court factions that remained. However Faolain had her own plans to seize full control of Cillian's body, slowly manipulating her through "help" until she showed her hand and tried to take over entirely and gain a second life. Cillian fought back hard, and lost everything in the process of exiting Faolain from her mind at last. She's not so much ex-court as exiled now.

DEAS

I don't have a ton on her yet, but she's a very cruel ex-courtier who went from esteemed duchess to a pale reaver post-HoT. She's still cruel and loves the taste of battle, but she's a little more constructive about it now lmao

FANTEI

Despite having been turned to the Court by force, Fantei has found herself within the Nightmare. She fit right into the cruelty and cunningness, ready to cause what damage she could. The only tragedy in her eyes, was the dearheard she left behind, who surely would want to now join her within the Court to be together and free. She was mistaken. It took her months to finally get to her ex while alone, and no matter how much she professed her love her ex rejected her. But surely the Dream was causing this confusion, and she couldn't leave her ex behind. So she took her to stay forever at her side. Piece by piece.

AEZLIN

He's a vain, pretty thing to the core. Everything he's done has been on a whim of getting exactly what he wants, and that included his conversion to Nightmare to have a courtier he thinks is handsome. He works gladly as a recruiter, utilizing his mesmer skills and beauty to easily trick and lure in clueless saplings for conversion.

I know it's like almost 2am my time so a lot of people are asleep but uh, I love hearing about other people's ocs and I've been thinking about the nightmare court so I wanna hear about y'alls courtiers

This is a free invitation to use this post to tell me about your nightmare courtiers, ex courtiers, and their courts 👉👈 so please tell me about them, share as much or as little as you want

girls night in bloodstone fen w @mystery-salad's Illiadde

[foxholemonster]

For the first time since I made her 4 years ago, Illiadde has gotten an appearance update due to “Events”.

Little jarring to see her without longer hair but she’s still striking

[likemesomesalads]

Ascalonianpicnic and I had a very "awww" moment after reading your tags about Illiadde, I always get a bit defensive when people ask about her since she's genuinely unpleasant and Doesn't Play Nice and that can upset people if they offer a friend to her and I say she would kill them, but AP was happy to see someone support her anyways like they do 💜

That’s her character. She doesn’t have to be nice to be a good character. I love and suport her in the way she choose :3  U wanna bea mean Illiadde then be mean! U great!!! I love to see diverse characters and villainous characters and she is a wonderful one.

[mystery-salad]

Illiadde, my darling disaster Illiadde 💖

Her early life was a mess of both Court and Inquest experiments, the Court having the intent goal of creating the perfect weapon no Warden could stop. She very nearly managed to fell the Pale Tree! And odds are, if she had kept loyal to the Court, she would have succeeded by now.

The inquest were called in early through the work being done on her. After all, they'd worked on saplings before anyone else and while it was an annoying alliance for the Duchess overseeing the progress on this weapon, it pushed boundaries that the court did not have the technological access for. Illiadde was naturally sturdy, a brick shithouse of a tree both from her initial Wyld Hunt destiny, and the twist of being thrown to fend for herself in the Nightmare before she had even emerged from her pod.

The inquest decided to build heavily on that. Sylvari are already so innately connected to magic after all, their species still such a mystery to most since ethical research moves so slowly. They sought to see how far that magical containment could be pushed. She spent days and weeks undergoing painful experiments pumping her full of raw leyline magic. She felt like she was burning from the inside out, but unfortunately for her she was too sturdy for that burning to come to fruition and end her suffering. Her body held as her mind unraveled and she became even stronger, even more erratic. As the tests continued, her body became accustomed to the burning magic it housed, eventually even starting to produce the stuff itself, attuned directly to the leyline network. She's impossibly strong, never lacking energy and power, and it feels like she's burning alive.

And then there's Yappok!

Lab-grown as part of an ongoing experiment to splice other creatures with asuras to enable survivability and longevity in various situations and environments, YA-990k was one of several variants in the lab when a technological malfunction allowed for a breach in the holding cells. The subject escaped, and has thus far managed to elude inquest recapture. Absolute mischief maker and slowly learning what the outside world is like, Yappok is wary of most everyone but will readily and handily steal from you when you aren't looking!

Ok GW2 peeps this is important: Throw your characters at me that got experimented on by the inquest.

What was done to them? How does it affect their life? Tormented souls, mildly inconvenienced or maybe actually benefitting from it?

I need to know. And potentially open a support group for some people.

[mystery-salad]

She's just so!!!!!!! She can't be fixed! She's so fucking broken and her life is such a tragedy, and there is no redemption path she can ever find.

He life trajectory was determined by so many other people and she knows this and she hates this, but there's no way to undo it and she can't trust anyone else to do better by her even when they've been shown to try...

And despite all of that, she still ended up attaching her feelings to another. She didn't want to, and god she wants that connection gone, when someone mentioned it once she nearly killed that person then and there.

She was once defined to help the Commander, her wyld hunt was once to work at their side with another, help save the world help end the dragon cycle. If the nightmare raid hadn't happened she would be loved and cherished and have a family

But instead she was abused and warped and in a twisted way tied to the dragon cycle without ever once stepping foot near any of it. All it took was too much raw magic saturation in the air...the tests done on her turned her into a generator, trying to create and manage so much leyline energy that her body wasn't meant for. All it took is one too many dragons dying and *pop*

And you'd think that would be the end but *it isn't*, because those fuckers and whatever they did to her aided in her healing abilities. The magic coursing through her body constantly degrading her also helps keep her going. Unable to move unable to scream, laying in a crater that was once the tiny sliver of space she called an excuse for a home until that one person she attached her feelings to came to check on her and found her in that state.

And they couldn't do anything, Strair's a spy not a medic by any measure. They can patch up a quick injury her and there but they have their own shit coping methods and a damn good healer friend to make sure they don't die in turn from their own deal. But that medic is busy right now, tied up with the Pact. With the commander. With the people that Illiadde was once...meant to be with...

So they take her there, a wanted criminal with a past tied to the Commander already in ways that no one could blame Laighe for turning them both away.

But she doesn't, she's had her own long fight her own endless traumas...she and illiadde are closer in understanding than they've ever been, not that illiadde would know. Not that she'd ever *let* illiadde know. All illiadde knows is she wakes up on another operating table. Like when she was young and everything lead to more pain and more tests

So she does the only thing that makes sense to her, she rips off a restraint and fucking throws the medic working on her hard enough to tear their arm off. They barely make it out of the room and she's locked down in it until she runs out of energy and passes back out to be restrained again.

She keeps trying. She can't stay here and there is no reason to her that anyone would help her. It's never been done, it's not an option. Ever. She knows she won't be helped, more than can't.

She gets lucky though, the sylvari she was once meant to work alongside to help the Commander, who remembers her from their dreams...she doesn't recognize them those memories don't even exist for her any more. But all it takes is some unlocked doors, some diverted guards. And she's out again. And she's alone still. And still broken in a way that can't be fixed and all that help did was prolong it, her life saved but no progress made.

She'll only ever be a weapon and she will keep losing everything.

[ascalonianpicnic]

Wrelia and/or Rhos for the oc asks?

Wrelia! Spooky Daughter!

edit: just realized I meant to add a pic and forgot... here she is~

Full Name: WreliaGender and Sexuality: demigirl and she hasn’t quite figured her sexuality out so she goes with sapphicPronouns: she/herEthnicity/Species: sylvariBirthplace and Birthdate: a disconnected pod in the Grove, the day after Mad King’s DayGuilty Pleasures: the study of ancient or forbidden magics, self experimentation, cake popsPhobias: abandonment, lossWhat They Would Be Famous For: for being a master necromancer, for being the daughter of Pact Commander Laighe, for being a head tactician in the PactWhat They Would Get Arrested For: murder, using forbidden magic, pranks gone wrong, being too damn cute uwuOC You Ship Them With: Embrant! Her wife!OC Most Likely To Murder Them: herself  IlliaddeFavorite Movie/Book Genre: historical romanceLeast Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: bury your gaysTalents and/or Powers: powerful necromancy, with a focus on summoning minions, the ability to awaken small creatures with a growing skill in that type of magic, speed reading with an amazing memory, could teach herself anything with the right booksWhy Someone Might Love Them: She’s bubbly, outwardly optimistic, excitable, and passionate. She’s also just incredibly smart and incredibly caring. She spent years trying to make herself someone she felt was worthy of love. She is absolutely full of love to give.Why Someone Might Hate Them: She has an overall poor grasp on how to act in social situations and what is acceptable. She also, even after years of growing and getting healthier, still looks quite off putting and corpse like. She’s in general pretty discomforting, and underneath her bubbly exterior, can be very cold and hateful. Due to manufacturing her image to be as friendly as possible with the hopes of attracting more friends, she also can feel pretty fake.How They Change: Wrelia grows to be more confident in herself as the years go on, and to be more true to herself. She also gets a better handle over time on her abandonment issues and is able to become less clingy and borderline toxic to the people in her life. She grows up and matures, finding her place in the world.Why You Love Them: She was the first kid I made in gw2, and watching her grow over the years has been so amazing. She’s fun to explore as a character, and she’s helped me explore and come to terms with some of my flaws and insecurities over the year. She’s also very cute :3 and I love her a whole lot

[mystery-salad]

Oh boy do I! Both victims and perpetrators of scientific exploration✨️

YAPPOK: Part of a larger project the Inquest orchestrated to try and lab-grow asura hybrids that would have exaggerated features and traits to aid in missions not well suited for a standard asura. Yappok was spliced with a water opossum, having 6 fingers and toes on each limb along with a vestigial tail and light fur coverage. Yappok is immensely skilled at climbing with an acute sense of hearing, managed to escape during an incident with another test subject!

ILLIADDE: She was the pride and joy of the Nightmare court, carefully cultivated and experimented on utilizing an alliance with the Inquest. Being as resiliant as she is, they tried to make her the ultimate soldier, bass-boosting her magical abilities with concentrated leyline magic. What didn't kill her certainly made her stronger in a very painful way. Her body now self-produces ley energy, keeping her in top form and burning through her.

ENVERT: Real mad scientist energy here, Envert has a love of figuring out how things tick and how to alter them. She creates horrid abominations for whatever purposes you may need, and in her spare time just fucks around with creatures for the fun and scientific exploration of it all. She's even experimented on herself quite a bit, having fun with how bloodstone might interact with a sylvari and keeping herself from going too crazy from it by offloading the brunt of the effects to a soulbound murellow she keeps close.

FANTEI: An engineer background with a particular love for biology creates a very gruesome mix in Fantei. Her gizmos all contain pieces of what was once her dear lover. Her own body has been spliced with what remains weren't useful in said gizmos.

Hey there, it's been a while since I've done a GW2 Community Sharecase!

Do you have OCs that are either Experiments or Creators of said Experiments? Or both? Note: these questions are not posed only for Inquest/Asura OCs! If you've got Human, Norn, Charr, and/or Sylvari who are experiments/creators, they also count!

For Experiments: How were they created? What were their role/purpose? Are they loyal to their Creator(s) or unpredictable? Do they get put down or escape and live on?

For Creators: Why did they make the Experiment? What was their intent/goals? Did they succeed or fail? Did they work alone or with a group?

If you have an OC who was self-experimented on, they also count! What did they do? Why did they do it? What did they become or what happened to them?

Any additional stuff you wanna add about your experiment/creator OCs, feel free to talk your heart out!

[mystery-salad]

have 8, 10, 11, and 13 for illiadde, perhaps? :) @kerra-and-company

Now THIS is a rare ask meme where I think I can actually give answers other than just "sorry no" for Illiadde, what a rare delight!

8. What’s something that your oc is insecure about? Something that someone could say to them that would really get under their skin?

Anything truly! It does not take much to set her off, and if you're approaching her with no reason to (ie you're not a well known criminal looking to hire some dangerous muscle for a bloody task) then anything you say is immediately a potential threat either meant to attack her or catch her off guard. This woman exists on a hair trigger that's already half-tripped.

10. Is there anything your oc wants or likes that they have to keep secret, like a guilty pleasure? Anything that would get them ostracized, attacked, or just insulted for saying it out loud?

Strair. Just Strair.

Lace (who belongs to @ascalonianpicnic ) stumbled onto this fact once, and stared death in the face for voicing it. They existed in a very very specific situation where she spared them, but if they ever see her again it's fight on sight. They are well aware of this.

11. If your oc could go back in time and change one moment from their life, would they, and what moment would they change?

Surviving her emergence from her pod. If she knew what awaited her, she would've simply given up and let the Nightmare kill her before she emerged. Instead she fought to survive and it's only gifted her pain.

13. If your oc had one day where they could do anything without being caught, what would they do?

She honestly already does. She's damn near impossible to kill, extremely jacked up both in physical strength and durability along with the raw leyline magic that runs through her and she naturally produces. Nothing stops her and she really just doesn't want to do anything aside from be left alone these days.

[mystery-salad]

👀🔥🦴 for illiadde?

Heads up, this is not gonna be the most satisfying answers! Illiadde is very sexy hot tall and strong 😳 BUT she is also a massively traumatized lab experiment and extremely averse to anyone getting near her. Apologies in advance!

👀 : Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?

She doesn't think so, but she also doesn't really think about her appearance at all. She keeps her hair short to stay out of her eyes and that's about all she does for herself in appearance. And even that's just for practicality. The only thing she uses to her advantage is her fuck-off monstrous height and intimidating affect to keep people away.

🔥 : What’s a surefire way to make your OC get flustered?

N/A! She doesn't really get flustered. But she DOES get uncomfortable and then you get very very dead.

🦴 : Does your OC have much sexual experience? What are they like?

She has fucked exactly one person who she has an awful, fucked up, weird codependent energy-expending "thing" with, so she is very practiced in sex that is harmful enough to kill the average person.

13. Bad habits: he fidgets so much he ends up fraying the hems of his clothes, he's trying to keep it to scarves. He also overworries about his friends

14. Biggest regret: not leaving to look for Lace because he didn't want to leave Io in the hands of a different field medic...they needed so much help and he didn't go looking...

14. Biggest regret: they think they have none but boy one day will they regret ever taking a job with the order of whispers

[mystery-salad]

I need 13 for as many as you feel like answering for. expose them

*cracks knuckles*

13: their embarrassing memory from years ago

- Kvold has learned only after the fact about several dates he'd been asked on. The guy doesn't recognize flirting at all and has often found out far after the fact that he completely ruined someone's attempt to date him.

- Laighe asked Caithe out way way back in the day, when she was still young and the firstborns amazed her. Caithe let her down pretty harshly, but she's grown to know that it would've been a disastrous relationship, and she can embarassedly laugh now with Caithe at what she once tried to do.

- Marta pulled some real stupid stunts as a socks teen and young adult trying to forge her legend! Many foolhardy attempts to take down a svanir encampment with friends or trying various weird methods to break the tooth of Jormag. She's got enough embarrassing adventures to fill a small book!

- Cara once asked Faolain out! It went horribly! They genuinely did kill someone who found out about it, and they would kill again.

- Tvelle was a real stupid delinquent of a teen, and she's honestly most embarrassed by how much she tried to impress the adults in her life who were never gonna see her strength as more of an asset than her mind.

- Braham found out Joel has a crush on Eir and he has never let it live that down

- Strair realized when she almost died that they have genuine feelings for Illiadde. It fucking mortifies them that they formed an emotional attachment to someone.
