hi calvin! thank you for the ask 💓

11. Which OCs do you feel like you know the best?

oh that’s definitely gotta be my boy javi!!! 🧡 i originally conceived him during early pandemic as a mass effect oc for a 1x1 rp and over the years that has sprawled out into like a dozen AUs 😌

he's my chaotic, impulsive sagittarius sunshine baby boy 🥹 he's a military brat n7 vanguard, quit the alliance bc he got fed up with the bureaucracy leading up to the reaper war, and grew a reputation as a robin hood space pirate in the aftermath. i feel like i know him the best bc he's the character i've written the most for + all the diff aus mean i was swimming around in his head in every different kind of setting/dynamic

i have some fics published for him here 🥰

29. Talk about an OC you don't talk about much.

my vampire ancient, harionna! another oc i conceived for a 1x1 rp. i based her off of the japanese myth about the harionago, a female ghoul that can use her hair as sharp, deadly barbs. was very castlevania pilled when i wrote her fight scenes way back when hahaha

For Ismeria po mostly but if you want you can blab another oc too :)

hi ellie! thank you for the ask kaibigan 💓

2. Are there any physical traits that are common among your OCs?

sharp cheekbones 🔪 and a JUICY booty

also jet black hair, full lips, and ethnic noses!

3. Are there any personality traits that are common among your OCs?

they all tend to be creative 🎨 i’ve gifted my ocs with skills in writing, dancing, cooking, music, painting, anddd photography

they also all tend to be good leaders even though their styles can vastly differ. my ocs all have grand values and causes that they're passionate enough to kill for 🤪 i can have a little rage fantasy. as a treat 🧁

lastly they're all absolute sluts 🤭

16. Do you have any OCs who you mostly just like for the design, rather than personality or story?

i'm a writer so all my characters have pretty robust foundations is personality and story! in terms of design though one of my faves is my jjk sorcerer, miya 🌸 she's my jocky pastel time traveling femme dream girl 🙂‍↕️

thank you so much for the ask! 💓 [shipping questionnaire 💌]

#1. have they met their partner's loved ones?

unfortunately for davrin,,,,,, yes he has 🙃 he definitely had an "ah. so that's why you're Like That (emotionally repressed and violent)" moment when he met ismeria's maternal figure—more on this in the next update for a pit of snakes 😌

ismeria canonically meets uncle eldrin and eventually, post game she joins davrin in reuniting with his clan. i see them spending a handful of days in the forest so that davrin can have one on one time with all the people he needs to reconnect with. i also definitely see ismeria and his family being super mutually curious about each other (it's giving reuniting the diaspora)

i don't think they visit super often because they're both such Headstrong children, but whenever they do it's for a good stretch of time

#18. what qualities do they have that complement one another? are there any that sometimes cause friction?

davrin is really drawn to ismeria's steadfast sense of purpose. especially after weisshaupt, he stays warm by the fire of her determination. conversely, ismeria really learns from the way davrin practices care. he makes it safe to be soft 🥹

fundamentally, what makes them compatible is that they believe in their own agency. they're both the drivers of change in their lives; they leave a lot of room for the other to be independent in their relationship because it's a shared core value

KAMUSTAAAAA~

growing up with brothers learning string instruments must have been,,,,, sonically challenging. LMAO

and i love that you sang with your lola 🥹 how does it feel to be god's favorite (heir to the filipino singing gene)???

[rook tarot ask game: romance edition]

the magician: how does trust develop between rook and their partner?

davrin and ismeria are both skeptical by nature so trust is built through actions first and words second. davrin is ALWAYS talking a big game so ismeria watches him to see if he can actually back it up. especially since, in so many ways, davrin seems way too good to be true??? there must be a catch but he keeps proving time and time again that yes he IS just this principled and dedicated and compassionate and strong and and and

inversely, davrin is watching ismeria to see how she prioritizes her promise of helping him with the gloomhowler and what kind of leader she is. "rook" is brusque at first, which helps davrin compartmentalize this as Just Another Job like he normally does. but then he sees how kind ismeria actually is, how her motivation for the fight against the evanuris isn't something new and untried but is actually just a grander scope of the cause she was already dedicated to in tevinter.

these two would follow each other to hell and back. trust!

i WILL say though that. i have plans to stress test this trust in a pit of snakes so. stay tuned 🤭

the hermit: in the quiet moments where it’s just the two of them, how do rook and their partner share that time?

I am Mahmoud from the destroyed Gaza, where there is no life or food. My wife, my child and I are filled with sadness and our bodies are shivering from the cold. The occupation came and destroyed our house and our private car. We have nothing left, not even the clothes that protect us from this cold. Sorry if I bothered you. I need your support. Please help us evacuate this uninhabitable sector.

8. What kind of demon would emerge from them had they been subject to Zara’s experiments?

omg getting captured and enduring venatori blood magic experiments is literally ismeria's WORST CASE SCENARIO pre-veilguard. plus i can see her feeling like she's fundamentally failed, because guarding yourself against possession is Being a Mage 101. HITTING WHERE IT HURTS OOF 🫣

i think what would emerge is a demon of disdain. it's an advanced offshoot of pride (a rarer variety like zara wanted) growing from the seed of how much ismeria despises her jailers. she thinks she's better than them and always has. the demon is born from a combination of a sense of moral superiority that's starkly relevant in this specific situation plus the deeply embedded parts of her that are petty and hold grudges and don't forgive.
