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. If you see me call her Stormy, it's because she is an iteration of Stormyrain xd

#short summaries are short but better than nothing! xd #maybe i'll add brief profile later #my ocs #my art #oc: dawn #oc: kiran #oc: lacrima #oc: quentin #oc: flora #oc: sam #oc: tumbleweed #oc: noé #oc: desertblaze #oc: stormyrain #oc: ulhar #oc: jamie #oc: koko #oc: styrnlona #oc: mikh'a #... i think that was all of them? xd

[strange-eorzean-tales]

A cool breeze blew through Sharlayan, causing boughs of the tree above her to sway. Normally, the desert raised miqo'te would find herself shivering, but she was so lost in thought, her body was numb to the world around her. The only movement from her was an idle thumb tracing the outline of a faint scar on her wrist. It was hardly noticeable unless you were scrutinizing her, but to her the cause was still fresh. Her eyes closed, and soon she found herself drifting off.

A voice called out to her, the words garbled behind the fog of sleep.

"Livia? Livia!" It was her brother's voice calling out, and finally she shot up, alert and present looking around. Just spotting the outline of a figure coming her way with long purposeful strides.

"Livia? Liv! there you are...I was worried when you left without saying anything. Why in the hells are you out here?"

The brown haired miqo'te finally made his way to her, looking her over, checking to see if she was wounded.

The girl turned her head towards him, rolling her eyes.

"Mikh'a, I'm fine. Quit your fussin'."

He heaved a sigh and sat near her, back pressed against the same tree, he glanced up to the foliage as leaves danced in the wind.

"You sneak off a lot. Why?" The question was blunt, and quite unexpected. Livia didn't know how to react at first.

"You hole yourself inside your lab all day, and you're questionin' me on seekin' solitude?" Her lips pursed as she thought, finally she turned her head towards him. "Sometimes I just need to clear m'head. Lots of stuff happens an' ...I just need time t'process it...I guess."

He nodded, "I... Suppose I understand that. I'm sorry."

"Why are you really out here, Mikh'a?"

He was quiet for some time. "The ship gets stuffy. I wanted fresh air."

"...You're hidin' somethin'..."

"Maybe, but it's not anything you need to concern yourself with."

Silence filled the air, though only briefly, as Livia finally spoke up,

"Y'used t'tell me everythin'. We used t'tell each other everythin'....What happened?"

Mikh'a gave a sigh, shrugging a shoulder. "We went our separate ways. Grew apart, endured.....different battles that changed us."

Her brow furrowed at that answer. Not quite satisfied.

"I don't think I changed. You did....th' others....they say things 'bout you. Things I don't want t'believe but....they've b'come m'family. I trust them."

"You don't trust me?" He asked,

"....Not like I used to...how could I? You've been gone for long, with nary a letter 'bout your whereabouts."

There was more silence, both miqo'te anxiously waiting for the other to speak.

Mikh'a sighed and looked over to Livia, who stared back with those wide green eyes, filled with hurt.

"Shit... Liv... I couldn't. Everything I've done was... I wanted to. My studies were....arduous and the situation I was in...the man that took me away he...he wasn't a good man. His true colours exposed once he knew I couldn't get away. He used my attachments against me. Used *you* against me."

Livia's ears folded back and she shifted from her spot, turning to face Mikh'a.

"What... What do y'mean?"

His eyes narrowed and he looked off to the distance, "It's... Not really something I want to talk about, but...just know what I've done...*everything* I have done was just to give you a better life. I don't think I've succeeded."

"Y'can only control so much, Mikh'a."

He fell silent, shaking his head in disagreement.

"I'm sorry for failing you, Livia. I'm sorry for continuously failing you...."

The girl shook her head. "Don't do that. I'm th'one that pushed for you t'go away. We can stay here all nigh' jus' blamin' ourselves but... Maybe... Maybe it's time we jus' move forward...yeah?"

He cast his sister a look from the corner of his eye. "...Aye....I can try that..."

Livia pushed herself up from the ground, quickly dusting her pants off. "Good. Let's get outta here. M'freezin'."

He sighed and followed along, "If you took better care of yourself..."

"Yeah, yeah...whatever."

With that, the siblings returned to the airship.... Playfully bickering the rest of the way.

[plounce]

i havent talked about my wol on here in a hot minute but ummm her lore has developed a lot :) she's co-wols with my friend hawke's wol and she has terminal tank disease and of course it goes without saying that she's hopelessly dependent on the catboy bestfriend. she's selectively mute (silent player character = autism legend) and mikh'a, because he has the echo, can understand the sign she uses (which is half cobbled out of sign languages from the shroud but also from around eorzea and half her own creation) without many wrinkles and also he's just very nice and shortly before she met him she got ejected from her family group so she was like YOU'RE MY PERSON NOW and imprinted. also in ARR she was deeply uncomfortable with any social stuff and so mikh'a handled a lot of it for her. it was a very vulnerable time in her life and she will always feel deeply grateful to him for that. but then we get to hvw and mikh'a (that's the other wol) was engaged to haurchefant before That Happened and it destroys him and he's basically out of the game for the rest of hvw msq from the debilitating grief. so that's the real genesis of her life attitude being "i have to take care of everything and shoulder all of the burdens and duties so that mikh'a has room for HIS burdens". also she has that autism feeling of like "i don't feel as much / as strongly as other people" (yknow) and it's something she really admires about mikh'a, how strongly he feels things (even as the trauma starts to make him an asshole), so. yes. he's the face and she's the shield. due to her terminal tank syndrome. anyway in shadowbringers she gets brought over to the first right before mikh'a does, like 6 months in first time, and the way that their deal works out is that mikh'a is the one who is able to channel the light into tomte so she contains it, leaving her with light poisoning and him with the light aether scraped out of him, so that she's gradually growing more and more blank and stoic and unfeeling while he gets more volatile and emotional (light = stasis, dark = change). anyway tomte decides to go off the empty alone because she's operating on her most basic MO of "other people cannot handle this burden, but i can, i must, i will" and just wakes up, has a very one-sided argument with mikh'a, and then teleports away without telling anyone her plans. and then has an even bigger fight with mikh'a in the tempest as all the scions watch in distress and discomfort and then ryne manages to get through to her and tomte like. cries. and that's a big deal. we've rp'd much of this and more.

hawke (my friend if you forgot) has been ensorcelled by bg3 so he has not played past 5.1 so my further building of tomte's co-WoL story lore canon is sort of on pause right now but i think the end of shadowbringers really freaked her out and she stops tanking because she couldn't handle it. she wasn't able to. it didn't work out and it wouldn't have worked out, and she realizes, when the light is no longer poisoning her brain, that she probably would have doomed everybody if she had gone through with her plan and walked into emet-selch's lair alone. she needed her loved ones to hold her back. and in endwalker i switched to samurai because i capped on warrior so im imagining that in endwalker she also puts down the axe and takes up a sword. still throwing herself into the middle of things, but uncertain about taking responsibility. i think this general level of uncertainty and anxiety is compounded by the fact that she's the WoL zenos is fixated on - she's the muscle, she's been the one really taking on most of the primals and lightwardens. so it's like arrrghhh everything is my fault and my arrogance and my hubris (which is so sad because she is so quiet and humble). anyway. idk how we're gonna do the azem of it all (i have numerous ideas and possibilities in my brain - maybe emet tried to resurrect azem at some point and botched it, leading to the rejoined souls splitting from the source soul, and tomte is the rejoined souls and mikh'a is the core source souls? maybe it's a 3 and 4 split? maybe tomte is a different person altogether? i just know that mikh'a should definitely be azem since his themes and story of destructive grief align really well with emet)

anyway. that's a glimpse of the evolving tomte lore. click and post

This one was inspired by @dualistic-dragon's gpose song challenge! I got Vanilla Twilight and I thought it would be perfect for Mikh'a singing to himself when Haurchefant is doing his knightly duties for extended periods of time.

Emet and my WoL's daughters!

Emi is older :)

This is how Minah's hair is if Emet is in Solus' body!

I thought I'd share :D

If you're curious on other ships and the fan child(ren) I can certainly share those haha. Also Emilia's nickname is Emi, Minah's name comes from a mix of Mikh'a and Senah(My WoL's parents!). :)

What a cute family! I love them so much! Thank you for sharing with me. 🥰 I love learning about them/seeing them.

Made two new glams yesterday and decided to take some quick cute pics of them! RDM / SGE / WHM

I don't normally put him in blue, but he looks good! I'll have to take some pics of his aiming and fending glams next to complete the "ready for Dawntrail" set. They're all maybe a bit warm for Tural, but he's been in chilly Sharlayan for a while, so it's understandable. Maybe he'll find something a bit more appropriate when he gets there...as long as it doesn't reveal too much skin...

got the whole set done >:) Still gotta figure out Roegadyn properly and also got to Actually Play any of these guys again oops.... but!! with this my quota for annual AF refs is done lolol

Secrets

A secret. Everyone had one. Something they didn't wish the outside world to know. Unfortunately, he had many, and it seemed like everyone was aching to expose them.

With a sigh the miqo'te sat back in his chair at the large desk, focusing on the problem he was currently fixated on. The feather to the quill in his hand brushed gently against his cheek as he thought. His eyes wandered about his laboratory, then back to the desk, specifically a cannister placed upon it. Placing the quill down, he took it up instead. Rotating it in his hands as he reflected silently upon it.

This was the gas he had finished. Designed to uninhibit an individuals mind, allowing them to share a dream. A chance to extract secrets, or a way to inflict pain without leaving a visible scar.

He had put too much of himself into this work however, his own flavour of power far too visible...at least to those who knew, or saw...

These thoughts pulled a deep scowl from Mikh'a, his grip tightened around the cannister in frustration.

"Damn him! Damn that elezen!"

He considered asking Qaliyun for her assistance in extracting his aether from the progress...but that could cause all sorts of problems, and create another loose end.

Fingers drummed impatiently against his desk. He could not have this work traced back to him, not now. Not after it had leaked into the ship already. He would have to scrap this project, beginning from scratch once more.

Giving an agitated, yet resigned sigh, he stood up from the desk. He knew it must be destroyed, but he could not bring himself to do it. It would be such a waste. There was so much potential it had. Instead, he opened a vault kept under a rug, crawling down inside. A myriad of shelves filled with specimen jars, books, and all sorts of nightmarish artifacts surrounded him. Casually, he meandered to a specific shelf, placing upon it the cannister. There it would sit, among dozens of other similar containers to gather dust until the day he decided it could be used again.
