#wol inspo chart

[aethernoise]

the creator of this WoL inspo chart got it going around on Bluesky (you can follow me there if you want, btw!) and after uncovering the one I made for Alyx a while back I FINALLY made one for Rhodry too.

WoL inspo chart for Ari 2024! Need to go back and redo Bianca and Ramon's (ESP Bianca's she's gotten so many more inspos) but as always my miqo bias is showing

Her character keyword is compassion!! Her inspirations all have the common threads of optimism, curiosity and a want for connection, it's a lot more complex in the FFXIV AU due to frequently being put on a battlefield but she's cursed with being an empath right down to her Echo ability lmao

I love doing things like this

@mimble-sparklepudding tagged me to do this again (and I'll try to make one up for Lyrha in a bit!) But here's Nahte's! I ended up pulling it back up and tweaking it bc the original never quite suited me. This one snapshots him a little better and keeps with the meme closer I think :3

Ok this was fun but tough. Nahte was inspired mostly by narrative themes I wanted to explore, not really other media. It's impossible to put such a personal question like, "how do we move on from grief and find reasons to keep hoping after losing our vision for life?" into an aesthetic square!! But that was kind of the main question he was meant to pose as an OC.

I did eventually manage to think of a few characters I really like who probably influenced Nahte in one way or another over the years. Also his first iteration was in Fallout 4 and the choices I made with him in that game determined a LOT of Nahte's core traits. Mahl belongs to @seasaltandcopper and is Nahte's soulmate, roleplaying them together has also had a huge impact on how he overcame so many challenges in MSQ.

Though I didn't specifically have them in mind when I made him, these quotes I think bring out some important story elements

this isn't anything but I had the urge to redo percy's wol inspo chart (though in this case, they're not the wol anymore)

[cfs-melkire]

Seeing the WoL inspo charts go up and I'm just gonna repost my OC one from before the FFXIV fandom decided they needed to slap "WoL" on it like they do with almost everything.

Inspiration Chart

Tagged by @xmimiteh, it was really interesting, thank you for tagging and thinking of me!💖🌺

It was supposed to be an WOL Inspo chart, but as always I don't really separate us both 😄 So it will be our joint inspiration list.

Top Middle: Sarah Connor My number one inspiration from childhood. Thanks to her, I can shoot and I still have relief on the biceps 😄

Down Left: Xena Warrior Princess My number two inspiration from childhood. When I was little and loved heroic fantasy, she helped me understand that you don't have to be a princess waiting for your knight or hero. You can save the world (including knights and heroes) by yourself.

Top Right: Trinity Love that is stronger than anything, even death. And the strength to keep this love.

Top Left: Yennefer of Vengerberg (from game only!) My representative in the whole world of single rpg 😊

Down Right: Esmerelda Weatherwax Last but not least! Greatest and strongest in every aspect female character from Discworld cycle, written by Sir Terry Pratchett. I adore all characters from Discworld, but Granny Weatherwax is so perfect in my eyes, that I can call her the best of the best of all times :) Also, she reminds me so much of my dear grandmother 🥰

Another WoL inspo chart

[bastardofvairemont]

WoL Inspo Chart: Sebastian de Vairemont

And here are the characters that either remind me of Bash or have provided some inspiration.

Petyr Baelish - Game of Thrones Westley - The Princess Bride Weiss Schnee - RWBY Hans - Frozen Lestat - Interview With the Vampire Simon Basset - Bridgerton 

If you want to make one for yourself I have attached the original below the cut. 

[furys-mercy]

WoL Inspo Chart: August Mercer

This meme is making the rounds again and I decided to make a second one for Mercer. I won’t call it an update since it’s not as if the old one is no longer valid. I just had six more characters that remind me of him or have sparked bits of inspiration in the past. 

Characters:

Viktor - Arcane Teyo Verada - Magic the Gathering (Particularly War of the Spark) Joel Miller - The Last of Us (Both TV and Video Game apply) Percival de Rolo - The Legend of Vox Machina Edward Elric - Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood Garrus Vakarian - Mass Effect

If you want to make your own, I’ll put the template under the cut.

Tag me so I can see who you choose!

wol inspo chart

@sealrock was very kind and tagged me in this challenge! i made one of these for vej relatively recently, so i decided to do it for tabur this time! i would say only a few of these are characters i took direct inspiration from for parts of tabur's personality, the others are more ones i look at and i'm like "yeah, you're tabur-coded." let's see, how about i tag... @allyennah @eleventhcircle @e-dragoons @pettyeti @duskmother and @ghastlyfantasy! get the template here if you want to do it!

i'll explain the connections (and include the source material) under the cut!

jing yuan from honkai: star rail: this guy is a bit too recent to be a direct inspiration to tabur's character, BUT oh my god. he perfectly encapsulates the way that tabur approaches problems as the warrior of light. tabur greatly prefers preventing an issue from arising to begin with rather than dealing with 'saving the day'. jing yuan's laidback nature also fits how tabur conducts herself when among friends, though she puts on a much more serious front to the public. dimitri alexandre blaiddyd from fire emblem: three houses: probably one of my biggest inspirations for tabur. they have a very princely, chivalrous nature that hides a lot of inner turmoil and darkness. tabur struggles very heavily with anger issues that they are usually able to keep under control, but when pushed far enough, tabur is very akin to dimitri post-timeskip. cynical, ruthless, pretty bloodthirsty. don't get tabur mad.

margaret nearl from arknights: nearl and tabur are both shining paragons of the paladin archetype (or, at least, tabur tries to be) and were both exiled from their family/homeland. the two of them both share a very strong sense of duty to protect others. nearl's eng va is also my headcanon for tabur's voice when they are fantasia'd to a more feminine appearance.

vash the stampede from trigun: mommy issues. no, in all seriousness, tabur and vash are very similar in the sense that both take the moral lessons taught to them by their mother to heart and use those lessons to build themselves a code of conduct that they try their absolute best to stick to no matter what happens to them. tabur is also incredibly self-sacrificing, much like vash, to the point where most of tabur's scars/injuries are from protecting others. palamedes sextus from the locked tomb series: okay, i've only finished gideon the ninth, but i'm pretty confident putting palamedes on here. tabur's keen intellect and their alchemical/medical knowledge put them in the same field as palamedes, along with their shared soft spot for romance. i think palamedes and tabur would be friends and nobody can convince me otherwise. cecil harvey from final fantasy iv: cecil is mainly on here because tabur and him have the opposite job progression. cecil started as a dark knight and became a paladin, tabur started as a paladin and became a dark knight (though they return to their paladin ways for endwalker).

Although not a WOL, I've been meaning to do an inspo chart for Hemlocke.

Here's the template below if you'd like to do one!
