🖊+Nanari
My boy! I actually have quite a bit to share about him!
Have a non-WoL version I cooked up to rp with those who do identify themselves as the WoL!
While walking around, if I happen to stop to chat with someone, I will play Nanari to be the Scions' foremost scholar on the Primals and Beast tribes! He's devoted his whole life to their study, and even has a mark to prove his expertise.
If I'm clued in as to where they are in the story, I'll have him ask after the latest primal they've bested (Or Kami/lightwarden/etc). He's always fascinated to hear others' viewpoints on Primals, and will often write their thoughts down to go over later and occasionally write reports on what consensuses he's collected.
That said, regardless of this his foremost mission is to travel the star.
As an extra fun fact. He started this whole walk as an homage to his late wife, an Ala Mhigan lalafellin woman by the name of Vivina. She was once an adventurer, well-traveled and hardy, but decided to settle down in Sharlayan after meeting this shy Scholar in the Harbor.
When she passed, he had found in her belongings a bucket list of sorts. It was filled to the brim with maps, pictures, and wishes to see the world. And so he decided to go see it in her place.
Every time he visits a place she wanted to see, or a place he thinks she'd like, he'll write a log entry about it in detail, leave her favorite flower at the location, and when he returns home he plans to leave the detailed log at her grave.
#Nanari#Answerin' asks#OC infodump hours#I love my old man#He just really loves his wife#He would have stayed with his kids back home#but they urged him to go#knowing full well if he waited till they were older#he wouldn't have the ability to see it through#They get to stay with their nice Auntie in the meantime#one of Nanari's gleaner friends#and wife of one of his retainers Amber#whom they've known since they were little#so they're good#<3

🖊 Orias
Ooh, I have a fun fact for my babygirl!
Before I made her an au ra, Orias was originally supposed to be an Ishgardian noblewoman (I first made her as a wildwood elezen). She spent time training with the Temple Knights as an archer, and was surprisingly skilled at it. (Bard was her main before I took up DNC)
However, one day when she was fighting the horde alongside her husband, one of the Knights Dragoon, she found herself unable to pierce the hide of one of the dragons, and it took her husband unawares.
That day haunted her from then on, and she put down her bow and took her children to the Shroud where she figured they'd be safe.
After I fanta'd her and changed her backstory, I ended up repurposing this for one of Nanari's gleaner friends, Lillian Bellerose, who took up Botany in her retirement and ended up running as a gleaner for Sharlayan.
#Orias#Answerin' asks#OC infodump hours#It wasn't the most robust of backstories#but I was just starting back in the rp scene#so it was something
