OC Summary

Woo look i'm finally making an oc intro post on here! This is def non exhaustive and a lot of these guys are old/inactive, but i tried to include the ones that are the most likely to come up xdd Might add more in the future, but this is them for now :]

[continues under the cut]

first of, some og kiddos! most of these originated in rpg/growing species groups on dA but are just unaligned ocs now

Dawn

the only exception to the above statement xd She's my avatar/mascot, essentially! There isn't much else to her honestly. Fun fact about her name origin though: My warriors.. sona, i guess? was called Morgenröte, or Dawnlight when i used her in english contexts, so Dawn's name is a callback to that c: I also considered naming her Morgan as a reference to "Morgen"

Kiran

Used to be a very spunky kid before Trauma TM happened and depression beat her ass. She's been getting better though! Used to be best friends with Lacrima but they've since grown apart. Loves animals and started working on Sam's farm partime.

Lacrima

Smart, self-sufficient, maybe a liiittle fucked up by when she god hellbent on vengeance oops. Lost her closeness with a bunch of her childhood friends during that time. Still a bit all over the place but has found she enjoys administrative work.

Noé

Local theatre kid, and a freelance artist. Which art? That changes with the wind. He has trouble committing to things but that's because so many things in this world are interesting!

Sam

Bit softie with abandonment issues. Loves his family and LARPing and his asshole horse named Sir Samuel II. Works on his farm full time but tries making as much time for his friends and family as possible. Childhood friends with Tumble.

Tumbleweed

A gentle giant who practically lives in the water. Life motto: motto: can't be disappointed by life if you don't expect anything! Works as a life guard and swim instructor. Childhood friends with Sam

Quentin

The swetest potato, but has trouble making friends. A casual but enthusiastic collector with a love for tinkering! Has a workshop together with Flora where he does repair work on mostly on non-mechanical things

Flora

Timid, but inquisitive and creative. Original founder of her now shared workshop which started as a mech repair shop and now entails "anything we can fix!"

Desertblaze

One of my oldest ocs! She's been (re)used a bunch and has been through some shit but always managed to keep finding beauty and love in life. She is. Very near and dear to my heart <3

Nightscar

Tbh i have not used him in a hot minute but i wanted to include him cos he's pretty u.u Also a very old oc; his og name was Schattenjäger (shadowhunter) lol. The first version of him drowned though rip.

Stormyrain

Another fave :] Spunky and full of wanderlust. Her cat version has been inactive for a long time but i love reusing iterations of her cos she is fun and i love her.

Kokosamu

Smug little shit who is equipped with an ego that is way too big for his tiny body. Despite this he is not as bad as he seems! Mostly. He does mean well.

Styrnlona

Big arms, big heart, big hopes. Grew up in a family of fishers and hopes to win lots of money at the coliseum for her family. Turns out that is Really Hard though.

Mikh'a

Is here to avoid responsibilities out of boredom and because adventurers get paid well, right? Well wouldn'tcha know, adventuring is dangerous! oops.

Ulhar

(Ex-)entertainer, professional bullshitter, and apparently a hero now? Ugh. Really just wants to get rid of the worm in her brain, please. Would love to say she doesn't care about anything but unfortunately for her she cares A Lot.

Jamie

The Cooler Sister, bestie of Cove, aspiring marine biologist (?) (still undecided on that). If you see me call her Stormy, it's because she is an iteration of Stormyrain xd

[wretchedmoonrise]

anyone else in this thread have something deeply wrong with them, but like, in a gay way

*when I say "canon reaction" I mean canon to my specific WoL. the dialogue is straight up in the game though

[medica-2]

Tell me I’m a bad man, kick me like a stray

[mikhabun]

Mikh'a Molkoh is lore accurate for miqo'te because that's the name of his master from the arcanist guild. Though he was stern, he demanded nothing less than perfection from Ysera because he knew he could do it. His forest name was chosen because it sounded nice and is lore accurate for viera.

WoL QotD: What made you choose your WoL's name? Does it have any important meaning or did it just sound nice?

Follow up: Is it lore accurate? If it isn't, why not?

[mikhabun]

🌿 [HERB] Is your OC religious? What do they believe in?

So massive endwalker spoilers buuttt when Mikh'a left his forest and family because he felt like was drawn to leave and explore the world, he assumed it was a deity with his higher purpose. When he was chosen by Hydaelyn he felt this confirmed it. And she always came to him in his hour of need so he believed in her and prayed to her but he was never really the deferential type. So when he traveled to Elpis and met her as Venat and learned the truth about where she came from and eventually being forced to slay her, he has some conflicting emotions about religion now. He still catches himself giving the odd prayer to her and sometimes he catches himself and others he continues just on the off chance that she somehow managed to survive.

[drakochan-ffxiv]

I haven’t really been able to put it in words, but I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of trans WoL + trans Ardbert and the intimacy of these two young men trapped in a cosmic war they never knew they were destined for, and it all just started out of a genuine wish to do good and be good and put that out into the world... 

In Mikh’a’s WoL canon this is absolutely the case. Mikh’a is much less traditional masculine in his presentation but he has some late night talks with Ardbert in the Pendants when he can’t sleep, they talk about a lot of things and get to know each other very well over the weeks and months of Mikh’a’s time on the First. 

[wicked-virtue]

What does your character like in other People? (ALL OF THEM MWAHAHA)

(Heaven help me that is a lot of characters. Going to do it under a cut to save people’s sanity.)

Aeritria Locklair - Aeri rolled her eyes and brushed a lock of crimson and raven hair back from her features, “What do I like in other people? I don’t like other people. There are only a couple that I care to be around. If I have to choose though….Hmm… Like a screamer. They are fun. Not fond of the whiners or beggers, but give me a screamer any day.” Aki Arashi - Aki leaned in to try to hear the question over the loud music playing, “Hmm… Kindness and the ability to have fun. I like people who don’t take themselves too seriously. No one likes a stick in the mud.” Ikara Esho - Swinging her legs back and forth beneath the railing she was balancing on, Ikara grinned, “Oh… I like all sorts of people. I mean… my friends and adoptive family are all so… different. Unique! I like unique people! That and people who aren’t lazy. Laziness never got anyone anywhere.” L’ania Hena - L’ania sat by the small stream and thought on the question quietly, then tossed a small pebble into the water with a warm smile, “I like people who are more than they seem. Most of the people I consider friends are people that someone would assume dangerous or scary, but they can be some of the kindest, most thoughtful, and loyal people.” Mikh’a Epocan - Mikh’a pressed his lips together at the question, whistling for Mana to stop growling. “I’m not fond of most people. The people I like tend to be smart or talented in some way. Exceptional people. It takes an exceptional person to draw my attention and get me to leave my solitude.” Soren Gilmar - Soren twirled the small throwing dagger in his hand lazily, “Wha’  sort o’ people? Hmm… I suppose I don’ have a particular type o’ person I like. I mean, if it comes t’ women I like pretty ones tha’ have a fierce streak in ‘em. Guys… I suppose folks as ‘ave a story t’ tell. Someone who ‘as lived an’ knows life ain’ all black an’ white.” Tyranie Tiberiah - Tyranie stepped away from the group of younglings, letting one of the other teachers take over so she could take a moment with the question, “Hmm… I suppose I like folks with inner strength to them, also folks that treat ya how they want to be treated. I’m probably also a sucker for folks that need help in some way. Its not that I like that about them, but I suppose I like a person that knows how to ask for help when they need it, instead of being a blockhead like my friend Lloire who just gets himself into deeper trouble for not asking.”

11. Preaching to the Choir

[End of ARR spoilers, behind cut for those of you who are still catching up. Welcome to Eorzea!!]

"It makes me want to scream and yell and claw at them when they say those things," Mikh'a said as he paced across the carpet in their fine room in the Fortemps manor. They'd only been here a week but it seemed the agitation of what had happened in Ul'dah finally passed the shock of it, and Mikh'a had spoken of little else in the past few days. 

Rex nodded his agreement, made a sound of affirmation, watching Mikh'a pace for just a few steps longer before tugging him into the broad lap. "It bothers me too, but we just have to play along until we can go back home."

"I suppose," Mikh'a grumbled and buried his face against the neck below his lips. "But they accuse you of heresy and worse…" 

"Which both of us know isn't true." Even with the knowledge about Nidhogg's eye, the true reason for such accusations was far less honest. Rex's peaceful and placid response made him huff. It wasn't fair. Not that the world was overwhelmingly fair or just. And those that shouted it most loudly tended to be the ones least likely to mete out actual justice, they just spoke the loudest and got the most attention. Mikh'a leaned back, meeting his lover's gaze.

"It still makes me angry for you… Just today they were saying--" Mikh'a felt the gentle fingertips to his lips and he went quiet. 

"I've heard it, don't dirty your mouth by repeating it. It doesn't matter to me. Everyone that's important knows who and what I am."

Mikh'a sighed, then pressed a kiss to the fingertips on his lips, reaching up for Rex's wrist to gently draw it away. "I just hate when they talk like that." 

"I know, Pebbles." Arms closed around him and Mikh'a sighed as he let himself be tugged back into the embrace. The soothing hand against his back made him relax despite his best efforts and he felt the low purr start to rumble in his chest. 

"It's not fair." He couldn't help the tears that suddenly sprang to his eyes, stinging and making his throat feel too tight. "Why do people with bad intentions always seem to get what they want? Why do good people always get hurt or worse and the bad ones get to keep going?" The words spilled from him as everything they'd gone through seemed to suddenly spill over like a too full cup, his fingers buried in the cloth of Rex's fine shirt.
