[kicks door in] I'd like Phlunq's thoughts on Qirri! @ratasum

Phlunq thinks Qirri's rad as hell. He greatly respects her and Taimi and well, anyone who's achieved things in the face of adversity. He likes her attitude, and he thinks Garrus is hot, at least from an objective standpoint, so that's a definitely compliment on "you definitely do a good job choosing cats" (he's entirely aware it's not romantic, but is referring to it in the same way he views his own partnership with Gaius, whom he adopted).

You may or may not have seen from interactions with Catrat, but he's the sort who thrives on having his face in others' business--and voicing his opinions as loudly as possible. He very much likes and respects how Qirri's worked and applied herself; she may be privy to periods of him sitting in and watching her work, much like Lucasta or others he's fond of, and making comments or asking questions, and he's generally on the lesser end of "I'm being awful, but definitely in a banter-y way that I expect you to understand because you're not that loser Kudo"

I'm not finished, I have at least half a dozen people that I actively chatted with who I want to draw, but my hand is starting to hurt so... more later this week!

I really had a lot of fun at the NA party, it was great hanging out with people and seeing everyone's amazing looks in-game!

"Excuse me, Miss Tinkerfist, what exactly is your field of study? Something to do with the pack dynamics of charr?" --Alchimancer Phlunq Blighthorn (@commanderhorncleaver)

Your OCs Ask My OCs

Qirri blinks a few times at the question, her ears perking up slightly. "Oh! Well. That was my field, initially. When I left Rata Sum to travel while on a forced, admittedly hiatus from my final year of college. I went to the Black Citadel, and met Garrus Firstblood, whom I then began traveling with. I learned a great deal about the interpersonal relations of charr with traveling companions- there was quite a learning curve, as there are considerable differences - of which I'm certain you're aware - between a fifteen year old asura and a fifteen year old charr. Just as there are considerable differences between an adult asura and an adult charr."

No comment on the fact that she was fifteen at all, really.

"Nowadays, though, my research is largely focused on medical devices and disability aids for those with various issues that require them. Partly inspired by my own situation, I admit, but also as a result of a very dear friend with mobility needs. Our world is not built with the disabled and chronically ill in mind, and I hope to someday be able to change all that for the better."

i missed the poll but yeah 100% thought it was tinkerfist this whole time i’m sorry PLEASE 👀 tell us the lore behind how qirri got her name!

Honestly it's fascinating to me! Looking at it again, I can see how the "r" is actually really easy to miss. I'm just used to seeing it since I write it so often!

Interestingly, Qirri was originally named Qirri Tinkersmith, not Tinkerfirst. The reasoning at the time was that Qirri was already taken (I started a ways after the game launched), and I couldn't think of anything else to put in, since I really wanted to use the name. I made up something about it referencing her fascination with the charr and left it at that.

As @wall-legion and I rp'd more, though, we came to the conclusion that he'd saved her in Plains of Ashford after she all but tripped over a Flame Legion soldier. Deciding to take in this teenage terror, Qirri started traveling with Garrus, and they got close enough after a while that he decided she was more or less an honorary member of his warband. So once I was able to nab a name change contract, she went from being Tinkersmith to Tinkerfirst, in honor of his name- Garrus Firstblood.

Though she's now a krewe chief and could even take a role in the Priory, at this point I can't look at her name without seeing that, so it feels wrong to change it. Maybe sometime in the future I may change it to Krewe Chief Qirri, but for now, it's a nice nod to her first and oldest friend.

Morgalis [Star] and their uncovered face from another angle with Myrra Sparkleclaw [GRUE] guarding the little ones with Tarsicia (as a skyscale).

Iljrn [VS] and Quinloch in a compromisable position...

Morgalis [Star] (unmasked one more time) and Florhami

Galearis Faun and then Thimble Root [HELL] wanders in to possibly smash Uppies with their hammer. You can barely see her coat in the flowers.

Soleil Beaumont [FOOL] was lovely in the distance.

Cléy of the Dream [BoA] starts our journey left to right this time, with Timanni [FAE], Infotechnist Plex, Myrra Sparkclaw [GRUE] (or the backside of), Iljrn [VS], Count Drakkula [TRNS], and Ejdge [HELL] looming in the back.

Continuing left to right, we have Qirri Tinkerfist [OOPS], Count Drakkula [TRNS], Iljrn [VS], Ejdge [HELL], Maelgwyyn [DraW] with Myrra Sparkclaw [GRUE] who placed themselves just so right before I grabbed the screenshot. Finnegän and Necromancer Jikki finish out the shot.

Warden of the Trunk [RISE] and Deserter Shaya being all cool and distant, Sefa Adivar (MoA) lurking in the back.

The return of Thimble Root with Octavia Gossamer.

...ket.

Captain Tixcanpa [Rest] with Banana Milk Pop [Rest]

Uppies has no comment on this.

Maid!Morgalis [Star] made an appearance~

Uppies borrowed the pet rat of Ratthew the Vile [LGBT] for this length comparison. While...I think Mordrem Trahearne mini looks on in the distance???

...I just realized I put 14 photos in here. Did tumblr give us more??? I see now that the limit has been increased to 30.
