30 Day Character Challenge, Days 4 through 19.

This is a long post, and so the entire thing will go under the cuts!

Day Four— Family: Does your OC have a family? If not, who do they consider to be family to them, even if they’re not really family? (26/27) Valere Voilinaut has a lot of family - starting with his brother, Maximiloix. Making him the grand-uncle of Lothaire and Honorie. He also has seven other siblings besides him. He is the third oldest child. Besides his siblings, he also has a wife, Yue. Whom he loves with all of his being, next to his son and his daughter. As for family that aren’t blood related, he has gotten along well with Solaire and his husband, as well as Sabeloux and his wife. 

Day Five— Friends: Does your OC have any friends? Do they belong to a friend group? What do they do with their friends? (18/27) Solaire does not have many friends - for good reason too. He’s not the most friendly person in the world, quick to judge and even quicker to assume things. Being Caromont’s ex-fiance makes it hard for him to see him as a friend when he feels cheated on, but is slowly moving past those feelings with the help of his husband (whom is his best friend). He is, however, fairly good friends with Raymond and his husband, as well as Valere and his wife. Though other than that, he has a hard time making long lasting friends without ruining the friendship himself. He doesn’t do much - as he makes a living as an adventurer, painter, and carpenter - he doesn’t have much time to put aside for any of the friends he does have, aside his husband, whom he does everything with. If he does go out with friends, it is usually joining together for a dinner.

Day Six— Guilty Pleasure: What does your OC like to do that they never tell anyone that they do? Does anyone ever find out? (7/27) Orpheux would probably find a way to kill himself if anyone found that he not only enjoys embroidery, but flower arrangements and tea-making as well. Not because his ‘masculinity’ would be at stake, but rather his visage of destruction among most people. He isn’t known for calm behaviors, and finds enjoyment in causing as much damage as humanly possible - from war crimes to property damage, to purposely attempting to break treaties. These rather domestic activities would definitely ruin his image. He would never tell a soul - and no one has caught him yet, not even his brother.

Day Seven— Casual Outfit: Give examples of what your OC wears on a normal day, with nothing special planned. (2/27) Berenger usually wears nice clothing even when the situation doesn’t call for it - the best dressed at any occasion. Though on a casual, common, and usual day, he may be found in a restaurant uniform with an apron - even though he owns his own storefront, he prefers to cook the food himself. Outside of work, he is usually found in a nice vest and slacks.

Day Eight— Formal Outfit: Give an example of something formal your OC has worn/would wear. How often do they wear this outfit? Do they have any others? (25/27) Maximiloix wears his casual outfit at the same time as his formal outfit - which is to say, he doesn’t change at all. Well, he does, just to wash his clothes, but he wears the same thing regardless. A long white robe, tight pants, and heels. His sense of style is very… *very* flamboyant, and even if he were to wear something else, it would be less modest and more colorful than his robes.

Day Nine— Spirituality: Does your OC have a religion? What do they believe happens to people when they die? What superstitions do they have? (17/27) Genevier isn’t a religious woman, though her patron deity is Halone, growing up in a religious city. However, despite that, she is a very, VERY, superstitious person - black cats? Avoids them at all costs. The numbers 4, 9, 13, 17 - she avoids them at all costs? Down to 4 arrows? She breaks one so her luck and aim aren’t affected in her hunting. You will never see her pass a match to another after using it; she will avoid priests that walk openly on the streets; nor will she ever accept a clock as a gift. She’s careful around mirrors, keeps umbrellas outside, and never uses a ladder. Her salt shakers have weights at the bottom so they don’t fall over.

Day Ten— Broken Temper: Your OC with their anger out of control. How did this happen? Does this happen a lot? (11/27) Quinn doesn’t get angry easily, not in the slightest. He’s very calm and collected with himself, though when he does get angry, it’s like the hells themselves erupted. He doesn’t have the physical strength to beat anyone down, but he does trash rooms and break apart his inventions just to keep himself from hurting anyone. However, the chances of him getting that angry are far slimmer than winning the lottery. Though, the quickest way to piss him off is to yell or shout around him - he’s very skittish about loud noises.

Day Eleven— Get the Sad Out: Your OC is in despair. What would cause them to be like this? How do they express their sadness? Do they cry? Does this happen a lot? (20/27) M’nhea being in despair is like a fire but cold. He never seems to have it in his heart. Or at least, at face value. For someone of very little brain, he is very good at hiding his emotions - the loss of his friends and family, and his homeland, hit very deep with him. He will never show his sadness in front of anyone save for a couple of people, most of it is spent in an inn room sobbing. He screams and cries and begs to gods for everything to be given back, knowing full well that’s not how it works. After a good solid half a bell of crying, he will either clean himself up and return to what he does best, or promptly pass out until the next morning.

Day Twelve— Argument: Your OC gets into an argument with somebody. Is it somebody they know well? Does this happen a lot? Do they get angry or do they remain calm? (25/27) People tend to avoid arguments with Maximiloix - not because he’s vicious or on top of people screaming, but because he’s very calm and collected. His ���arguments’ are… arguably more like debates. He shows hard facts and rarely lets his emotions on the subject get the better of him. However. Any attempts at an argument with his own husband immediately gets shut down. Why? Caromont is always right, and he will never be told otherwise - whatever they’re arguing about isn’t worth their relationship. (It’s usually small things though, mostly about Max’s health. ‘You need to eat’, ‘go to bed’, ‘brush your hair’, ‘drink water’ - while Max usually wants to argue, he knows he shouldn’t.)

Day Thirteen— Fist Fight: Your OC is challenged to a fist fight! Who would do this? How would your OC react? If accepted the challenge, who would win? If they declined, how would they get away? (12/27) The fact that the randomizer chose Danny for this question is pure coincidence, I swear. Danny gets into *a lot* of fist fights. He’s the epitome of the “pick your battles, wait that’s too many put some back” post around here. If he was challenged to a fight, it would be from Wood Wailers and it wouldn’t be much of a challenge, he’s mostly attacked on sight - hands are his weapon of choice despite using magic. Another that would ‘challenge’ him would be his now worst enemy and rival, @shangomango​ ‘s Tobias Finch. Except. I highly doubt it would be with their fists, though that would be an interesting fight if they both cast aside magic. (To answer the last question, Danny would never decline nor run from a challenge to fight - which may end up being his downfall.)

Day Fourteen— Injured: Your OC got injured somehow. How did they get injured? How do they handle it? Does anyone help them recover? (5/27) An interesting prospect, considering that Eulan is a pocketwatch. He probably got injured by being stepped on for the thousandth time. And unfortunately, he’s usually stuck like that until his usual caretaker, Theolaud, can backtrack and find him. Theolaud has become skilled in repairing watches because of this.

Day Fifteen— Anticipation: What makes your OC impatient? What can’t they wait for? Why? (23/27) Camilla can’t wait for her training to be over, she can’t wait to get out into the world and help it herself instead of watching her parents do the work she wants to. She is very impatient, not only in terms of waiting for her life to begin but with other things as well. She definitely can’t wait until dinner is ready either, she is a very hungry child.

-- Day Sixteen— FREE SPACE: Congrats! You’ve made it more than half-way! Draw/write about your OC doing anything. For my free space, I’m going to just… I guess list how all of my characters are related, since some of them have pre-established relationships. Knowing one might accidentally introduce you to another. Amosis: Only one relation - Eulan Arcambault, though it’s unknown how they’re related or what they have to do with each other. Though it wouldn’t be unlikely that he knows of Maximiloix or Lothaire with their studies into Allagan history. Berenger Allard: Younger brother of Caromont, older brother of Raymond. Is familiar with Solaire, but does not know him well. Caromont Allard: Older brother to both Berenger and Raymond; married to Maximiloix. Step-grandfather to Lothaire and Honorie; brother in law to Valere, and good friends with Jadeinne and Mayve. Darian, Zacharie, Alvisaix, Gwenael, and Quinn were all his students currently or at one point. Familiar with Theolaud, does not know him well; same with Eulan. Solaire is his ex-fiance, they’re still working on their friendship. Raymond Allard: Younger brother of both Berenger and Caromont. Good friends and co-study with Theolaud, pupil of Eulan. Good friends with Solaire, Valere, and Quinn. Eulan Arcambault: Professor over Raymond and Theolaud’s training. Familiar with Caromont’s work, but doesn’t know him personally. Has some form of relationship with Amosis, but it’s unsure what it is exactly. Sabeloux Boucher: Younger (more mature) brother of Orpheux; Lothaire’s ex-fiance. Really, really does not like Camilla.

Mayve McRae: Cousin to Jadeinne and Gwenael, second cousin to Danny. Likes scaring Maximiloix. Good friends with Caromont. Has met Lothaire, but doesn’t know much about him. Olsso Oronir: No relation to anyone else besides Umeko, his fighting partner and close friend. Zacharie Proulx: Childhood friend of Darian, grew up with her much like a brother. Student of Maximiloix and Caromont. Decent friends with Alvisaix and Camilla, though they are a little young to be too close to him. Knows of Lothaire, hasn’t met him.

Darian Rosseau: Childhood friends with Zacharie, grew up with him much like a sister. Good friends of Camilla and Alvisaix. Student of Caromont and Maximiloix. Has met Lothaire all of once. M’nhea Tia: No relation to any one else - though in my own head-world and plot that’ll never be , he’d likely be familiar with Raramlah and Maximiloix.  Alvisaix Vairemont: Student of Maximiloix and Caromont. Best friends with Camilla, good friends with Darian and Zacharie. Has met Lothaire on several occasions, but prefers Maximiloix’s teaching style. Theolaud Vauquelin: Good friend and co-study of Raymond, pupil of Eulan. Doesn’t really like Solaire much, mostly because he reminds him of himself. Unfamiliar with anyone else.

Day Seventeen— Pet Peeves: Your OC’s biggest pet peeve. Are they vocal about it? Or do they keep their annoyance to themselves? (7/27) Orpheux will let people know if they are annoying him as they are annoying him - if he feels he can’t do anything to utterly ruin their lives, he will tell them how annoying they are, then walk away. If he can get away with murder, he will. Unfortunately, he is a very simple man when it comes to it.

Day Eighteen— Caught in the Rain: Your OC gets caught out walking in the rain without an umbrella. How would they react in this situation? Would anyone want to offer your OC an umbrella? Would they accept? (26/27) Valere doesn’t…. care. He likes the rain quite a bit, though prefers snow more. He’d politely decline an umbrella if offered to him, assuming he didn’t scare potential people off with the dead expression and weird tattoos on his face. If he got caught in the rain, he’d just keep on walking, without regard for what he is wearing or holding.

Day Nineteen— Relaxation: What does your OC do to relax after a long day? Do they get to do this often? (27/27) Raramlah relaxes by going bar hopping. Drinking is their strong suit, alongside fighting. Drinking is a very common thing for them, and if they aren’t found in the colosseum in one of their matches, they are drinking at the Quicksand. Sometimes they’ll make their way out to Western Thanalan just to watch people come and go from Vesper Bay.
