#oc: linore

[aquanthis]

tell me more about linore and linestelle separately .They both look so cute I want to learn. please. looks at you with autism in my eyes

OH YES i loooove talking about my less talked about wow ocs >:3c ty for asking!

both of these girls have Issues™, though which of my wow ocs don't tbh. i'll start with linore because she's just a little more developed <3

putting this under a read more because it is. Long

^ full version of the screenshot i used for the carrd btw

Huntmaster Linore Featherbow, the Stars' Fury

my BESTIE. she's a marksmanship hunter + a huntmaster :) she wields thori'dal because i can do whatever i want. teehee. she's transfem and bisexual and a horse girl. dw about it

she's very, uh, stable? i guess? firm and grounded, more logical than emotional. she's very gentle, though, which is why she works so well with her horses. she's honest and forgiving, though not to the point of being spineless. she didn't have strong feelings toward the horde until uh. well. You Know. and now she's more distrustful than she feels comfortable with. she's an amazing tactician and a great leader, though sometimes she's a little more cautious than her position demands, and sometimes it saves her ass. depends on the day. :)

she grew up learning skinning/leatherworking from her father, who was a talented leatherworker working in darnassus. her parents were relatively overprotective, so she wasn't allowed to go out hunting with her father for a long time, despite her keen interest in it. she'd work with him in the shop though, and has a great love and respect for the craft. eventually, when she got older, she finally talked her parents into letting her go, and she honed her skill with the intention to eventually take over for her father.

unfortunately, uh! both of her parents died in the fire. so . she had to do that earlier than expected.

she also had a childhood friend named maven (seb's oc!) who had a huge crush on her, and they were very close. she never realized she had feelings for him until she found him washed up on the beach as teldrassil was burning, nearly dead and horribly wounded, and everything came crashing down on her so so bad. it makes me so crazy. i love them

there's more stuff but i don't want to make this the longest post ever JSHDKJ here she is with her horses though

as for linestelle!

Soulreaper Linestelle Deathweaver, Deathlord of the Ebon Blade

ooooh girl who died and came back wrong for realsies. she's a blood death knight (despite looking like a frost dk lol she's taking after her dad!) and a deathlord. she wields the maw of the damned. you just so happened to ask about a couple of my champions LOL

she's a butch lesbian and should be much beefier than she is in game. she was killed and subsequently raised as a dk during the attack on silvermoon. she was in her late teens, and completely lost her memory, becoming a mindless soldier. she was adopted by koltira (hence the last name) shortly after he broke free from arthas, and then was adopted by thassarian by extension. she was scared, and the two of them took pity on her and took her in.

in her former life prior to becoming a dk, she had a bit of a romance going with a girl in silvermoon who survived the attack (one of my other ocs who is less developed and isn't listed on the carrd. her name is auridel though!). linestelle completely forgot her because she lost her memory, but auridel Did Not forget her, and actively hates her because she thinks she ran away and left her, instead of, yknow, Dying And Losing Her Memory. they were kind of toxic yuri. auridel is rommath's apprentice now if that gives you any idea as to Her character KJSHDKDHSKD

personality-wise, linestelle doesn't really have much of one anymore. she lost a lot of the personality she had before losing her memory, so nowadays she's kind of flat-affect most of the time. she used to be hotheaded and some of that comes out when she fights, because she's Super easy to rile up in a fight, but outside of that she's rarely emotive and tends to keep to herself. if you knew her before, she'd hardly be recognizable now. the only person who can get her to smile, even a little, is thassarian. with bad dad jokes. :) the only time you'd find her laughing is if she's tearing a zombie apart or something.

oh, also, she looks after invincible now. they're friends. :)

anyway, i like her a lot. i like her so much. linestelle my friend. can you tell i love thassarian and koltira also. sorry about that

i hope you like my girls!! <3

Linore and Hartwigs's marriage was one that was more out of political/social reasons, rather than genuine love. 

Hartwig's father was a successful businessman running for a political office, and the family considered it advantageous for him to be married. As the only son of the family, it was only right for them to marry their son off to someone with a similar level of power over the public. 

Enter Linore Astéri. 

Linore was a successful young actress originally from Greece. Yet, she took on the Transatlantic accent flawlessly in public. And in private, she adopted a southern belle persona that made men's knees weak. 

Their parents got to talking - as did the two of them.

And while there were five years of difference between them, they got along quite well. 

They were wed nearly a year after first meeting, and the birth of their eldest son soon followed. As did their second.

And nearly six years later, so did a pair of twins. 

And in the public eye, they were the perfect model of a family.

But, what the public sees very rarely is the full picture.

Introducing Linore Serket!! She's my second true Scorpio hybrid and I absolutely adore how she turned out!!!

[agnosticdeist]

Alrighty! Up next are my hybrid characters. In caste order, they are: Octa Peixes, Lezola Ampora, Abby Makara, Linore Serket, Elnixa Tibhau, Felix Carson, Rita Blakely, and Andy Megido!

Probably only get to add one more on this section, so I'll see who else I got. Uhhhh . . . Let's do Vibati Ninevi. She's neat :)

I'm not 100% attached to her, but she's my only Mind player, so I'm keeping her. Pt. 3 coming hopefully just as quick lol

Just doin a separate compilation for the ocs I plan on keeping, ignoring the ones I've given away and the ones I'm not particularly attached to. Starting with the first three I ever made: Sichdi Dosudi(currently redesigning and giving a twin), Casina Ameder(also plan to redesign), and Fidhyr Heisan.

They're all girlfriends and very much in love with each other! Next up are Wudida Gatfia, Necote Cheris, and Daydiv Wajdiv! I do plan on eventually redesigning Wudida and Daydiv eventually, but for now, this is what they look like.

Up next: Nomada Majnun, Dersue Derhop, and Xibehi Jivyjo.

Gotta split this up already. Pt. 2 coming verrryy soon! Probably not even an hour from now tbh. Just gotta compile them.

Elspeth and Elliot sat nervously in the hospital waiting room. They didn't quite know how to settle; their nerves grew more tense with every passing doctor, every announcement over the speakers, every nurse on their break.

A ring of pearls hung around the filly's neck. She lifted each bead nervously and looked it over before going onto the next. This little ritual kept her sane as she tried to pass the time in the hallway.

Finally, the silence was cut by their father walking out of a bedroom. Hartwig looked between his two children. Elspeth's gaze averted to the floor, whilst Elliot cast his eyes to a poster on health and diet.

"Your mother is up, if you want to see her," he said coolly, ignoring the fear in his children's eyes.

The two got up from their seats and followed him into their mother's hospital room. It was small and cramped and reminded her too much of the closets back home.

In bed, with bandages wrapped around her skull, sat Linore Windroe - the most gorgeous pegasus in the world.

Usually, Elspeth loved to see her mother, but on such a day, it felt like being at a funeral.

"Hello, love," she stretched a hoof out to Hartwig. "Where are we?"

"The hospital, Linny," he reminded her. "You needed that… operation."

"I did?" She asked shakily. "Did it go well?"

"Swimmingly."

Elspeth and Elliot quickly exchanged nervous glances. 

Linore's wings flapped absentmindedly. Hartwig shot her a glare and she immediately stopped the action.

"Remember, my love, the doctor says that you can't fly again."

"I can't?" Linore asked. "Why?"

"The surgery to help your brain be happy again messed with your motor skills," Hartwig said, condescendingly. "You could hurt yourself."

Linore nodded and mumbled an "I remember" under her breath. Then, she turned to Elliot and Elspeth.

"Who've you brought with you?"

"You remember our darling children, don't you?"

"Of course, our little Elsa, and my darling Ezra. My eldest, my pride and joy."

Elliot froze. 

"It's Elliot, my dear," Hartwig chided. "You remember what happened a few years back… Ezekiel passed away. He was very ill."

"Oh, he did?" She asked shakily. "Well, at least I have my dearest little Elsa here, don't I?"

Elspeth tensed and swung her tail nervously.

"Her name is Elspeth, Linny," Hartwig explained. "Not Elsa."

"Oh my, simple mistake to make."

"Indeed." Elspeth fidgeted with her pearls.

"What remarkable jewels," Linore stared blankly at her daughter. "You'll wear them a lot, I imagine."

Names in The Paper World Society Pt. 2: The Siinri Islands

There is a distinct difference between female and male Siinri names, where only female names can use the vowels ‘a’ and ‘e’ and only male names can use the vowels ‘o’ and ‘u.’ The ‘i’ is the neutral vowel, sometimes called the divine vowel. Both male and female names can use ‘i’ as long as there are other vowels present, but they cannot have the double ‘i.’ 

Every name has one set of double vowels (ex. ‘ee’ or ‘oo’), indicating which syllable is emphasized. So, the names “Ceela” and “Celaa” are pronounced differently and are distinct from each other. Human names can’t have the double ‘i’ because emphasis can’t be placed on the divine vowel in a human name. The double ‘i’ is reserved for gods, who are all genderless and don’t use the other four vowels. The name of the people, the Siinri, comes from their mother goddess, who shares the name. Each of the islands is named after its patron god.

Another strange quirk of Siinri names is that names with only one type of vowel are considered to be nobler sounding; though, many think this tradition is elitist. Most people with single-vowel names come from wealthy families in major cities, and you are unlikely to find names like “Puluu” or “Naanra” among the lower classes or rural people. An untrained ear might hear “Puluu” and “Puloo'' as the same name, but anyone who grew up on one of the islands would note the distinctly elegant sound of the former.

The Siinri do not have last names and will typically introduce themselves with their name and their hometown. Sometimes, when speaking to a foreigner, they will introduce themselves by their home island rather than their hometown. Some may even use the name of their home island as a last name, but this is frowned upon because it requires using the double ‘i’ in one’s name.

Female Names:

Ceela 

Celaa

Weerna

Naanra

Letaal

Laaril

Male Names:

Puluu

Qoornu

Alright. Wrote the trauma for the Windroe fam, and whoo, is it a doozy?

Hartwig: Abuser.

[eldritch-hall-asylum]

I'm curious. Since Linore Windroe was an activist, would little Jack's activism ever remind Elspeth of the work that her mother did years before?

Probably sometimes.

[eldritch-hall-asylum]

Another addition! The last interview of Linore Windroe (née Astéri).

Question: what was your favourite film to be in?

Linore: Well, I believe it was A Crisp Leaf in Winter. That was the role I found the most enjoyable. And it was the first film my daughter watched me in. It was one of my last, as well.

-

Question: You have always been an advocate for the rights of women and immigrants in the workplace; do you feel that this will get anywhere?

Linore: Why, but of course! If I had anything to do with it, a woman would make just as much as a man - why, perhaps even more! Any professional in a work environment deserves to be respected and appreciated, do they not?

-

Question: is the rumour about you being unable to read true?

Linore: ...Well, sadly... yes. I never really experienced formal schooling, and so never learned how... but, I never let my own children suffer from the same fate! In fact, my daughter - such a bright young girl - just started reading chapter books! She's on that one Pride and Prejudice, now. And she adores it.

-

Question: do you have anything you want to say?

Linore: Well... yes, rather, I do. As many of you are aware, my eldest son... recently passed away. And though the grief of a mother is uncomparable to any other... the show surely must go on.

Alright! So, a while ago, I had an Idea for the Windroes being involved in a documentary about Linore Windroe.

...this is the result of that idea, wherein they were interviewed about her.

Question 1: How Would You Describe Linore Windroe?

-

Zephyr: quite sweet, really… she'd let us lie on her bed and sing to us in Greek.

-

Octavian: Well, she was my grandma. You know, she loved us. She loved us all. She was a very loving person.

-

Ciero: she gave me the wrappers for some hard candies once. That was confusing.

-

Favio: I remember one time - she called me her "Elliot"… mom really couldn't handle that.

-

Elspeth: my mother was… beyond words. She was an actress. She was a model, a pro-immigration and anti-segregation activist, a mother… She was so many things. It's hard to find just one that defines her.

-

Question Two: Favourite Linore Windroe Film?

-

Elspeth: Oh, definitely "A Crisp Leaf in Winter". The scene with the train? Gorgeous. She used to sing the songs from it as a lullaby for Mr and my brothers.

-

Zephyr: I'd have to say… "London's Letter". The moment where her character realises what is in the envelope… Well, it changed me as a child.

-

Octavian: I didn't really watch any of Grandma's movies… Like, there were some that I saw, but none that… oh, God. I'm gonna sound really cruel, but… there were none that really held a place in my heart.  

-

Ciero: I remember seeing… She was Ophelia in a production of Hamlet once. It was recorded, and mom showed me it. It really spoke to me.

-

Favio: Oh, anything grandma was in, she turned to gold. You can't really pick when it comes to her. But, "Seamstress's Delight" was my… revival, I shall say, in my darkest time.

-

Question Three: Do You Have a Favourite Memory of Linore?

-

Elspeth: Yes, actually… I was nineteen - Zephyr was only a baby at the time, and I was staying with my mom for some support. I went for a little nap when he was asleep, and when I woke up… right in the corner of my room, my mother was sitting, holding my baby… saying "sweet little Ezzy, my baby boy."

Elspeth: you never think about how much it affected her - my brother's deaths - but it did. To her dying day. 

-

Zephyr: I had brought my son to see her for the first time - me and my husband had - and we sat him with her. She looked at him for a moment, and then… she sang. For the first time in nearly a decade, she sang.

-

Octavian: Yeah, my daughter came with me to visit her once, and grandma just began to softly style her hair. Brushing it and combing it, as if it were able to fall out with a single touch. Olly loved showing her her comics, and she recognised Batman right away. 

-

Ciero: I was about twelve, and we went to see her. I brought my dog with me - a beagle, Marty, my… first best friend - and he lay on her lap the entire time. And in that time, she was the most coherent I ever remember her being. 

-

Favio: well, I was sixteen - I had been out for about… two years. And Mom took us to visit her. Well, of course, I expected the worst. You know, deadnaming, calling me mom's name, but instead, she just looked at me and asked who the handsome gentleman was. 

-

Question Four: What Impact Did Her Death Have On You?

-

Elspeth: I was… lost without her. She was my mom, you know?

-

Zephyr: it was heartbreaking, truly. 

-

Octavian: I think I entered my worst depressive episode in years…

-

Ciero: I… it came at possibly the worst time for me. It just… added a lot of grief onto the pile. And… I broke down. 

-

Favio: …I miss my grandmother, every single day.

-

Question Five: Are There Any Last Words You Wish You Could Tell Her?

-

Zephyr: Thank you, for… everything. 

-

Octavian: I'm still hanging on, Grandma. For you and for the little girl you met.

-

Ciero: I am finally alive again. Happy. I'm now myself.

-

Favio: I made it, Grandma. I'm a designer now.

-

Elspeth: I forgive you.

[eldritch-hall-asylum]

Elspeth's parents!

Hartwig and Linore.

idk if you’ve done this before, but physical hcs for everyone? like what they look like?

I'm gonna save this one for later and do some picrews to show you how I see them looking.

It may take a while to do so.

Names in The Paper World Society Pt.1: Stranginar

There are many root names in Stranginar that are combinations of two name parts, which are often kept in the family and mixed and matched to create new names. Name parts can go in any order, but every name has two of them. All name parts are between two and four letters, but sometimes they may be altered when forming a root name. It is interesting that the country name is also made up of name parts “stran” and “gine.” Stran means foothills and gine means people, so together they mean “foothill people” or “people of the foothills.” Giving your child one of these two name parts is considered especially patriotic

There are no “male” or “female” names in Stranginar. This is primarily because the Strangine language does not have gendered nouns and the name parts are all nouns, so any combination of name parts is, in theory, ungendered. Still, there are name parts and root names that are more popular for one gender or the other.

On top of all of this, the Strangine are a very superstitious people who will drop, add, or swap random letters when naming their children so that witches cannot curse them. Sometimes the letters dropped, added, or swapped are random, but as people have become less superstitious, they have chosen to modify the names so that they’ll still be recognizable. Still, despite this progressive turn, the Strangine never spell their names out loud but will write them out because witches supposedly can’t read. Family members will also all spell their last name differently so that even if one of them slips and spells their name out loud, a witch wouldn’t be able to curse the rest of the family.

Examples below the cut

Root Names:

Yulie- light sword (the light that gleams from a sword)

Olthan- sea mountain (where the sea meets the mountains)

Ephabie- shepherd meadow (the meadow where the shepherd tends his flock)

Olyse- wind sea (the wind that blows off the sea)

Phabon- wool loom (wool on a loom)

Yulen- sword field (scythe)

Thanriel- mountain rain (rain falling over the mountains)

Gineriel- people rain (people who live in rainier climates)

Rielen- rain field (the rain that waters the fields)

Lieden- light stone (granite)

Denabie- stone meadow (a specific place in the Strangine mountains)

Ysegine- wind people (popular name for children of sailors and people who have emigrated from Stranginar)

Abistran- meadow tundra (the place where the meadow/grasslands transitions to tundra)

Straneph- shepherd of the tundra (a shepherd who tends to shaf, the sheep native to the tundra)

Name parts:

Yu- sword

Lie- light

Ol- sea

Than- mountain

Pha- wool

Bon- loom

Yse- wind

Len- field

Eph- shepherd

Abie- meadow

Riel- rain

Gine- people
