๐ for Thrandy and Lyth if you haven't already! I saw Ellie and am curious about their siblings as well :)
I dished out a whole hog for Thrandy in this ask, so I'll be talking about Lyth in this one! (Here's Ellie too for reference)
send an emoji + an oc (or order the WHOLE HOG)
โจ- How did you come up with the OCโs name?
I wanted something that evoked "Ellie" but elven, and in a different sort of direction than "Elthrandor". Eventually I landed on Elythra. Because they were raised with their bio dad, their full name here is Elythra Ryu.
๐ผ - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)
Like their siblings, Elythra is 13.
๐บ- Do they have any love interest(s)?
Nope! They are aro/ace.
๐ - What is their favorite food?
Lyth also loves sweets, but they like their dad's cooking even more. They're a big fan whenever he gets the ingredients to make a very fruity tteokbokki for them.
๐ผ - What do they do for a living?
They're currently a magical student on the isle Lethe in Eikas.
๐น - Do they have any hobbies?
Out of the triplets, Lyth likes just being out in nature the most. They also used to really like visiting the theater, until they realized with their awakening empathy that all the actors were just Iryle's puppets.
๐ฏ -What do they do best?
They have a better sense of empathy and understanding of emotions than many due to their powers. They don't always know how to handle emotions (especially ones that aren't theirs) as a 13 year old, though.
๐ฅ - What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
Lyth likes their alone time a lot. It's precious to them. They also like playing dress up quite a bit. They really hate being in crowds.
โค๏ธ - What is one of your OCโs best memories?
It's weird to think of it as a best memory but it's probably when they first found out that their whole life and world was built on a lie and they had family outside of the island. It was scary in the moment but it gave them the strength to act on it.
โ๏ธ - What is one of your OCโs worst memories?
Their empathy was on the fritz (happens sometimes) and it was raining. Rain on Lethe has amnestic properties especially for humans, and it was the first time they realized that not only was their dad starting to lose himself, but it was tearing him apart to be starting to forget his child.
๐ง - Is their current design the first one?
No, but it's very similar. They're a pretty recent OC so I started putting them in Exordium pretty shortly after they were made for Prophecy.
๐ - What originally inspired the OC?
Ellie died and I needed a backup character!
The culmination of Ellie's arc was to make a terrible choice, which coincided with the ability to make a wish. Long story short, they are the reincarnation of their favorite character and had to finish his quest as well, because he died before it was completed. When they made their wish (closing off hell permanently at the cost of the Veil hiding the magical world, and their life), they reincarnated on the spot into Elythra.
Lyth themself I wanted to be kind of reminiscent of Ellie but fully elven. I also had been taking in some empath media (The Bright Sessions + Theo from Haunting of Hill House) so I wanted to try my hand at it, and it felt like the most natural progression of some of Ellie's abilities.
๐ - What genre do they belong in?
Dark Souls but for mages exclusively. There's a future that exists for them as a wandering necromancer and ice-elemental sorcerer, wandering the hadal zone at the bottom of the ocean.
๐ - What is your OCโs gender identity and sexuality?
Agender, Aroace, they/them.
๐ - How many sibling does your OC have?
Two siblings, and they have an inkling of them because their father talks about them both when he's a little delirious. Elythra already cares very deeply about them, especially when they start to realize that their siblings are both still alive.
๐ - What is the OCโs relationship w/their parents like?
They care very much about their father, and worry constantly about his health because he's human. They know about their Archmage birth mother and are a little intimidated by her. Iryle is a surrogate mother figure and they were close with her when they were younger, but as they've grown they've started to see through her as a manipulator.
๐ง - What do you like most about the OC?
I like how serious they are. The other two siblings have a silly energy to them because of the rp goofing but Lyth has always had a much more somber, sad air to them. A melancholy.
โ๏ธ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?
Not as much these days but I do write about them. I have some plans. I also think about them quite a lot because I think they have the most interesting life post-story.
๐ - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?
Nope! Might pull a Clariel with them if anything.
๐ - Does your OC have any phobias?
They don't like crowded places, and they get overstimulated pretty easily. Not the same time as a phobia though. They're reasonably tough once they're uncomfortable, they just don't like being uncomfortable (who does?)
๐ฉ -Who is your OCโs arch-nemesis or rival?
They don't really have a specific rival but in Prophecy they rehabilitated the final boss, the Leviathan, as their familiar, and they do something similar in Exordium with a trapped dragon spirit (Levyphystri, to fit my naming conventions).
๐ - How long have you had the OC?
Their official birthday is Valentine's Day, 2022 irl. (In game it's April Fools Day, 199Y) A little over two years. I've had them a bit longer but a backup character has the luxury of a specific debut.
๐ฅ - What age were you when you created the OC?
22!
