Don't worry about it, it's chilling :) sheep you GAVE me the picture!!! LMAO 💖

7. What is the most romantic gesture your OC has ever performed? Alternatively (or additionally), what romantic gesture would they most like to perform?

EMBRANT probably has several moments tying for this, she's such a blatant romantic and is always performing grand gestures for Wrelia ( @ascalonianpicnic ) on a whim. My favorite big romantic gesture to this day is before the two were even dating. Embrant saw Wrelia, a sickly dead looking plant, and it was love at first sight. When we realized Wrelia was leaving, she broke from her position on guard duty for the Pale Tree to try and catch the same elevator down from the omphalos chamber. She ended up running right into Wrelia and knocking her over in the elevator as she hurriedly asked for her name and a date!

LAIGHE is much more understated in her displays of love, but she does in that quietness have very sweet moments of romance. One of her biggest gestures was when she was dating Trahearne early on, and she used her connections in the Priory to dig up an old tome he'd been sure there were no copies left of. She had a copy made with the full contents and presented it to him, overjoyed by how excited it made him.

10. Does your OC have a type? Have they ever been surprised by their feelings for someone who doesn't fit this?

EMBRANT absolutely has a type (if you're an unconventional freak she is IN YOUR AREA) and while she's occasionally been into someone conventionally attractive, it was usually due to them still being energy-wise a complete freak. No crush she's had has ever really surprised her, and now that she's married she truly doesn't think anyone compares to her wife 💖

I saw this and knew Matthias and Aildyn would be front and center lmao, but then I had to figure out who would lay claim to the corners!

Explanations and template below

Right at the top, I honestly don't know what memory depths you pulled Niutuiyik from cause he existed for like a full two months as icebrood saga started then got deleted when the chapters on the third map released and my enthusiasm for the expac plummeted...I can't find him searching my blog, no idea if you just remembered his name??? I'll answer what I can for him but honestly a lot of info has left my head on that one. 100% answering 13 as well to make up for the missing oc info there 🙏 it did delight me to see him again, maybe he'll get a remake of sorts now that I've had time to develop my own icebrood saga...don't even have a screenshot on hand of him any more 😔

3. How did you choose their name?

Embrant was simply by sound. Just syllables I like together that read to me as a sunny spring day!

Ruan's was a matter of going over old gw1 and gw2 canthan names at length until I felt like I landed somewhere that felt right for them

Niutuiyik I do not remember the full thought process, if I remade him this would mean I'd be picking a new name too because I know his name did have meaning and I'd want to keep that level of intent

5. Is there any significance behind their hair color?

Embrant's entire color scheme was based very loosely off the bird of paradise flower, which includes her hair color! It's just mostly for a nice cohesiveness~

Ruan dyes their hair because they enjoy the color and that it makes them easy to spot in a crowd despite how short they are! Their natural color is a dark nearly-black brown.

Niutuiyik had black hair, entirely because it made sense for him and I in general stick to natural hair colors unless a character dyes their hair or I'm feeling fancy

13. How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?

Embrant is all caught up but doesn't pass, and considering she's a Warden of the Grove, her story is very very chill and simple aside from her gf being the Commander's protégé lmao

Ruan's story is constantly caught up and jumping ahead right now, they're one of my most up to date commanders at the moment. But their plot is always malleable and subject to changes if the plot reveals dictate it and it's fun✨️

Man me too!!!!!! Pastel butch of my heart✨

Coming right up!✨

16. How has their childhood affected the way they view an aspect of their life (people, education, society, themselves, etc)?
