Hi Kikilu, I just wanted to ask if you would be part of the Chocorpokkur event on Twitch?

I sure will, and I'm super excited!! I've been wishing Final Fantasy XIV had things like Twitch Drops for so long now. 🍫

And thanks for asking @tsukinoxiv!! 💖

I'll try remember to announce those streams on all my OC pages (sorry, in advance, for spam to anyone that follows several of them).

[luck-and-larceny]

Does your OC collect anything? (from @tsukinoxiv)

Malika would say she's an avid collector.

Others would call her a thief.

But it's both!

Collecting things is a defining Malika trait.

One of her (very numerous) problems is that she steals/collects things that remind her of the people she's stolen from. It's not always big, fancy, expensive items she takes. In fact, it's usually not.

It's a button from a new jacket a nervous man wore when he finally got the courage to ask a woman on a date. It's a low value Triple Triad card someone used to win or lose a big game she wasn't even involved in. It's a battered old compass a poor new adventurer used before his fortunes turned for the better (hopefully he used his money to buy a new compass or his fortunes might change again...).

She obsessively collects memories and connections with strangers. And she leaves some behind too. In place of the item she stole, she always leaves a random token behind in an attempt to leave a memory behind as well. Sort of like graffiti reading "I was here!" on their memory anytime they see the trinket.

Thank you for the ask!

Also, felinewanderer is such a cute name!

For any of your *active* OC's: Does your OC have any kind of body modifications? Piercings? Tattoos? (from @tsukinoxiv)

Ooh thank you for asking! I'm afraid most of my OCs are extremely vanilla when it comes to that sort of thing.

Esca does not have any tattoos or — ahem — extracurricular piercings aside from her ears. She's extremely unlikely to ever get a tattoo. Seyun, inspired by one of her lovers, does have a pair of more intimate piercings. No tattoos to speak of yet, but that could always change! Thank you for the ask @tsukinoxiv ♥

[mimble-sparklepudding]

Does your OC enjoy being scared? Do they enjoy scaring others? How easily do they feel fear? (from @tsukinoxiv)

Humble definitely does not enjoy being scared. Fortunately very little actually scares him when it comes to physical danger - and even ghosts and spirits do not overly concern him, since Hellsguard culture is ostensibly centred around preventing the dead from escaping the underworld, and their weapons are routinely enchanted to be effective in banishing the undead. He is not immune to fear by any means, but in battle his Inner Beast invariably overrides any mental trepidation.

However he does greatly fear his friends coming to harm and his not being able to protect them. And he is very afraid of rejection or social shame, which makes him remarkably shy in his interactions with others. He is also very scared of letting others down or embarrassing them.

Humble definitely scares his enemies when he calls upon his Inner Beast - and often alarms his allies almost as much. Whilst this isn't something he "enjoys" per se, it is definitely something he instinctively exploits in battle to great effect.

As for his fearsome reputation with the Garleans as the barbarian champion of the savages, he has somewhat mixed feelings, but Humble is a Warrior and no Warrior could fail to feel a measure of satisfaction at the fear he inspires in his enemies...

Outside of combat Humble tries extremely hard not to scare other people. He is conscious that he is an exceptionally large Roegadyn, with a loud booming voice and an intimidating appearance. Consequently he takes great pains to be as gentle and polite as possible, especially around children, for fear of scaring them. Sometimes this can prove rather too effective and on more than one occasion Humble has found himself being followed by a curious posse of small children, giving the appearance of a gaggle of ducklings following an aurochs.

SMASH OR PASS | ASHLEY HAWKE EDITION ✧˖°.

Very funny to being doing this with the OC my friends lovingly call "Smashley Motherfuckin' Hawke, Ladies and Gentlemen; First of Her Name".

QUICK FACTS:

Height: 6.5 (she is on par with male Highlanders!)

Age: Early/Mid thirties.

Gender: ???

Sexuality: !!!

Pronouns: Yes. (Will respond to anything, primary defaults to she/her).

Pros:

She is a working woman with a very successful career! She's Lead Courier of Firelight Trading Company. She got the money to spoil you. 🪙

The embodiment of a Labrador: sweet, dumb, friendly and extremely loyal.

She just wants to make you happy.

Extremely social and in-tune with other peoples' emotions.

Probably a careers councillor in another life. She's good at sussing out what other people want, even if its in a round-about way.

She's a good cook!!

Cons:

She is dumb. She is sooooo dumb. You know that head tilt puppies do when you're talking to them and they have no idea what you're saying? This is Ashe to a T. She will make this motion. You will try to reiterate what you're saying or change your point so she understands you. She will not.

Her need to make people happy can come at a cost to your happiness.

She will not have a clue if you have a crush on her. She is 100% bro mode.

She is also 100% obsessed with her husband, Shiro.

DETAILS

Ashe is not someone you want to be with if you're going to be worried about her safety. She will get herself hurt on the daily; whether that is because of work, her love of brawling or the simple fact she can be a bit of a klutz. Her husband became a doctor for this very reason.

She has a big family full of numerous issues and she will drag herself into them because she just wants to help. Boundaries? Don't know 'em.

Ashe looooves touching. Cuddling, kissing, laying across the lap, etc. If you are smaller than her, she will probably carry you around like a toddler dragging a cat. If you like fighting — congratulations! Combat is also a love language. If you beat her, she will demand you teach her. She is only as competitive as it takes for her to better herself.

She's a switch! Though she tends to take on the more top/dominate role, if you switch up (ha) on her she'll literally look at you with the wow!!! emote.

There's some thoughts between those eyes, but they're certainly not academic. Ashe is street smart, combat versed and emotionally in-tune with others. She will pout at you if you're reading a book when she's around, though.

Ashe is the embodiment of wanderlust. She wants to go everywhere, see everything and do everything. If you're not interested in wandering, you will not have a good time.

[shroudkeeper]

which poisonous flowering plant are you?

Lily Of The Valley

This is the poison of giving too much. You feel yourself emptying out, dizzying, discoloring-- until you fear you will fade entirely and wither away. You have always had to give. You never had a choice before. They pluck your flowers for their beauty, they trample your leaves carelessly, they pull out your roots by the fistful and berate you for daring to grow. And now that you have a grove to spread out in, your rhizomes tangle and curl in on themselves. When cruelty is all you've ever known, thriving seems impossible. But the answer is not to make yourself small and offer every lovely thing you are to the world in the hopes it will have mercy on you. The answer is to let yourself dare to thrive for thriving's sake, to grow in the wild ways you wish to-- and to do that for yourself for once.

..oh this is perfect for her, and a bonus for actually having a former shot of Kikyo with the lilies of the valley. Thank you kindly @icehearts for this tag, this was such a cute quiz. Tagging: @tsukinoxiv | @twelvesblades | @vmbral | @fatewalker @rasenkaikyo | @gatheredfates | @archaiclumina and if you want to do this quiz, tag me up I want to see, this is my invitation!

[gentlekami]

What are the origins of your OC’s name? Do they have nicknames? Where did they come from? (from @tsukinoxiv)

Thank you for another question! Her name was one of the things I really wanted to put thought into, despite it being from a popular anime years past! My love for flowers was translated into my character, for her name, Kikyo (桔梗), refers to the bellflower. It is one of the seven autumn flowers, representing the season's beauty. I wanted her to be a reflection of the fall, which symbolizes a time of harvest and change. Where there is a barrier between life and death.

Due to its shape, it shares some symbolism with religious bells, oftentimes associated with death. Hence the reason I think the name fits her well, especially since she gives off a delicate chime from the kanzashi in her hair.

Her nicknames have changed throughout the years, though it also depends on just how close they are personally to Kikyo, or perhaps knowledgeable, of what she is.

However, a gentleman who thought she was a celestial maiden first gave her the moniker Yugao-hime, it has stuck with her to this day. To ordinary denizens and those close to her, she is called Kikyo-dono, or Bellflower, if it is familial.

Her name, however, is not spoken by yokai and other supernatural beings; she is nicknamed by what she is: shinigami or little kami.

Now that my queue is empty, my FFXIV posts will start being at @tsukinoxiv! Please follow me there for newer content relating to FFXIV!

[cimarraskylark]

Is your OC diurnal or nocturnal? (from @tsukinoxiv)

Well, Cimarra definitely isn't a morning person, so I would have to say she's kinda both diurnal and nocturnal, depending on a given day. Not having the easiest time sleeping can often keep her up at night, while she prefers the afternoon and later half of the day to being up early in the morning. 😅🤣

Hadrian is probably more diurnal, being quite the bouncy energetic bun in the mornings.... *offers Cimarra another cup of tea upon seeing him awaken her early, glancing at her pinned back ears* >.>

Thank you so much for asking! 🥰💕

road: What does your OC wear while traveling? Do they have high-quality equipment, or are they making do? What does their gear look like?

oc asks: character design | accepting.

Her traveling outfits are usually casual, loose-fitting and functional, but not exactly fit for combat or hiking to her detriment. She may replace the koshita with the falconer's pants depending on the destination but I think it's just her quirk that she overdresses for things. At the beginning she was laughably unprepared. She was a healer first and foremost in the field, and rarely used her dancing for combat, so any armor she did employ (even if she knew to wear it) was light or nonexistent. She also had a more frustrating fixation on aesthetics so... she probably wouldn't wear armor if it didn't look flattering or was too heavy. She definitely makes do with what she has. Basically, her first trip to Camp Drybone was extremely eye-opening for many, many reasons-- one being that traveling with a professional showed just how under-prepared she was, and two that she has extremely dumb luck.

[alannah-corvaine]

For the NPC ask: G’raha Tia, Y’shtola, Thancred?

Ask Me About My WoL's Relationship With Any NPC

G'raha Tia

G'raha makes Alannah uncomfortable.

Their first meeting years ago wasn't unpleasant, it wasn't until after he'd become the Exarch and pulled her to the First that things changed.

His feelings of intense admiration and what at times felt like more were incredibly overwhelming and disturbing to Alannah, who already has strong negative feelings about feeling like she's put up on a pedestal and dehumanized in favor of being a symbol.

And his repeated overtures of these feelings, when he didn't even know her as a person, made her both anxious and angry. So she avoided him as much as was possible and took pains not to be alone with him if she could help it.

Things have improved since Raha joined them on the Source as a Scion. They never really had a conversation about it, but I think Raha realized he was being Too Much and backed off. This has allowed them to begin to form a tentative friendship based on mutual interests and proximity rather than idol worship, and Alannah has gradually started feel a bit more comfortable being around him.

Y'shtola

(tagging @tsukinoxiv since they also asked about Y'shtola)

Y'shtola is the older sister figure Alannah never had and is one of the very few people who is willing to call her on her bullshit. It can make things tense between them sometimes, but in the end Alannah respects and appreciates her for it, as so few people are willing to be truly honest with her.

They bonded early over a mutual love of magic and interest in aetherology. Y'shtola is also the only other person Alannah knows that has dabbled and has experience with both black and white magic, so they'll often end up deep in discussion and debate over the finer points of both.

Thancred

Alannah's relationship with Thancred is complicated.

When she was first recruited by the Scions, indeed by Thancred himself, she had the biggest crush on him. Nothing ever happened between them, however, and eventually those feelings faded away at some point during the events of Heavensward.

Now they have a weird, almost antagonistic not-quite-sibling relationship, but there's no heat behind it. They thrive on roasting each other and drinking together when the depression and difficult feelings set in.

But ever since the loss of Minfilia, Thancred has this habit (that Alannah hates) of trying to be a father figure to her. And it pisses her off to no end because every time he tries giving her advice he's usually in the middle of fucking something up himself. So then she gets mad and yells at him, they fight, go their separate ways for a few days to cool off, and then have an awkward and uncomfortable conversation about it and move on. Mostly. Until the next time it happens.

@mikuchan thank you for the ask!!

[musesofawolf]

How does your OC relieve stress? (from @tsukinoxiv)

Ooo, a good question! Especially since my OCs are very, very different personality wise from each other.

Bryn is ever much the old soldier and will withdraw a bit and find something methodical and familiar to relax and relieve stress. This could take a few forms, but one you will find him in more often than not is sitting with his rifle across his lap, cleaning it, and thinking. It's something he doesn't have to think about, and so familiar he can parse through the events of the day, or whatever is bothering him and making him tense. If he isn't cleaning his gun, check a local tavern, where he will likely be cursing that it is so hard for him to get drunk (think that Captain America scene where he's drinking wine but his super soldier genes won't let him get drunk).

Kaleh'a, on the other hand, is a social creature! He will absolutely go to a tavern for two reasons: to play for the crowd, and to exchange stories. Music for the archer is an escape, and the laughter and warmth of others is a pleasure. To some it may seem like his relaxing is another job altogether, but for him, to take himself out of the hunt or his last job and enjoy a safe, warm place is all he needs. Plus, if the honey mead is good, he could have the entire tavern roaring with laughter and song well into the night!

(I'm also laughing @tsukinoxiv at your blog, and what I'm assuming is hitting the ask limit again and switching accounts! The dedication is respected and appreciated! Thank you for the ask!)

[osric-giroux-ffxiv]

If your OC could become a deity, what type would they be? What kind of offerings or rituals would they expect? (from @tsukinoxiv)

First and foremost - if given the option he wouldn't. Of all the possibilities and options available to him, the idea of becoming a deity is one of the least appealing.

That being said - if there were no option given, he would likely be a tutelary deity - one of protection, as that's always been a goal of his - to protect those that he cares for.

He'd likely be more interested in acts of service than he would in offerings or rituals in that type of scenario.

Thanks @tsukinoxiv!

[umbralsound-xiv]

For Bexy: What trait does your OC value most in a person? (from @tsukinoxiv)

OOC: Above all things, loyalty.

Whether it's loyalty to an ideal, or a cause - She respects someone upholding what they believe in, even if it's not something she personally agrees with.

Loyalty to a partner is of utmost importance. To betray that is to invite her ire, even if it's not her you've personally wronged.

Loyalty to her... If she's trusted you enough to call you a friend, and you break that, it's far worse than even the more grievous wound you could physically inflict. With time and patience, she might forgive you... But she won't ever forget.
