โจ- How did you come up with the OCโs name?
Technically this was Tony's doing I believe. He named Elthrandor Sessamine with the logic of "a name that fits his elven naming scheme", in a world where Ellie was raised by U'tlunt'a. If I recall correctly as well, this was where Thrandy came from in the first place!
๐ผ - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)
Thrandy is the same age as Ellie, though minutes younger. She will tend to remain aloof about it and go "almost 14".
๐บ- Do they have any love interest(s)?
In the campaign they got jokingly paired up with Log, a fankid of the two Animus Vitrum leads. Log's hardass personality simply meshed well with their prim and haughty tendencies.
In Exordium, their royal standing isn't as secure, so their personality isn't as pompous. Regardless they're set up currently to be dating Ida in the future, potentially.
๐ - What is their favorite food?
Like Ellie, she needs to eat copius amounts of sugar because of her elf heritage. But she prefers spicy foods, especially savory types. She really likes her mom's shakshouka with some sweeter peppers and honey in the sauce.
๐ผ - What do they do for a living?
He's currently the crown prince of the kingdom of Musaphia, though it's kind of an honorary title because the place is in tatters on top of their present plight. So right now he's basically a wanderer. Isn't making much of a living.
๐น - Do they have any hobbies?
She likes listening to music, podcasts, and collecting laemellograms. She isn't as cerebral as her siblings, but she still has a healthy appreciation for learning. She also enjoys keeping fit and practicing various fighting techniques. In Prophecy she also liked working on cars (specifically a fancy Night Court type of vehicle that was shaped like a bronze bug) and listening to jazz (covers of 90s music).
๐ฏ -What do they do best?
Of the triplets, she's the best at combat. She's been trained by the royal guards and by her mom, from whom she inherited a magical technique that lets her grow her fingers into long claws.
๐ฅ -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
Thrandy loves physical activities and adventure, stories and games, and seeking out all kinds of excitement. She gets bored really super easily and doesn't deal with it well. She does secretly like holding court, but only if there's going to be drama for this reason.
โค๏ธ - What is one of your OCโs best memories?
It was after a particularly rough training session with his mom. U'tlunt'a patched him up but then took him out to the market as a special treat, as she very rarely leaves the palace grounds with her station. There was a big to-do and the endorphins were definitely helping.
โ๏ธ - What is one of your OCโs worst memories?
Watching his mom sacrifice her life for him by trapping herself in a soul jar with a war machine. Then later watching Ida get herself cursed and being unable to help her.
๐ง - Is their current design the first one?
Nope! Their design has been a little all over the place. Their Exordium design has been a little but more stable but could also change in the future as I decide more of the world's aesthetic.
๐ - What originally inspired the OC?
Originally, a silly roleswap au between Ellie and their girlfriend Nymra where Ellie was the suave royal-in-distress and Nymra was a goofy chuuni hero. Ellie in this au was an elf named Elthrandor, and the dm and I were in talks to try and canonically retcon them into being a half-fey changeling because we liked the idea so much. He surprised me with Elthrandor during the campaign.
Lately, it's been a lot of Olivier from Hello from the Hallowoods as well as Coco from Little Witch Atelier.
๐ - What genre do they belong in?
I think high fantasy, but with a little more courtly intrigue such that the little extending claws are a more perfect spy type utility! Unfortunately this is an apocalypse story. Alas. They get to do this better in Skylands.
๐ - What is your OCโs gender identity and sexuality?
Thrandy is bi and genderfluid and uses she/he/they.
๐ - How many sibling does your OC have?
He has two siblings but he doesn't know them, so he's very only-child about everything.
๐ - What is the OCโs relationship w/their parents like?
She's very very close with her mom, Archmage U'tlunt'a Spearfinger. Her bio dad, Daeyim, is out of the picture due to Circumstances, but she's very resentful of him being absent.
๐ง - What do you like most about the OC?
I'm still feeling him out, which is the fun part. When I'm adapting an npc that exists for a specific goody niche for a serious character arc, the fun lies in finding where I can really make these characters squirm and suffer the most. I also like how much he works as a foil for his siblings, being an opposite in a lot of ways but a parallel in others.
โ๏ธ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?
A bit less than the other two triplets but she does have the most written fic currently in Exordium.
๐ - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?
Not really. I just don't think I'd get much mileage from it currently.
๐ - Does your OC have any phobias?
They're a little squeamish when it comes to things like heights. And the dark, which is not great for the eternal night world.
๐ฉ - Who is your OCโs arch-nemesis or rival?
They butt heads with Lilibeth a lot but everyone does because she's got a difficult personality. They also are definitely going to be fighting both Ida's brother Goliath and Lili's mom, V'rylla.
๐ - How long have you had the OC?
The au was created in late 2020. I don't remember exactly when they debuted in game but it wasn't too long after. This makes it about 3.5 years.
๐ฅ - What age were you when you created the OC?
I would've been 20!
