What is a 100% vanilla glam that you think looks amazing on your wol(oc)?

[yannexiv]

Contention.

Been really trying to work on improving the lighting and making skin look better in my GPoses lately.

🌺🥊❤️✂️🌂🧠💎💀 for leon please :)

Ah, Léon, Nathan’s father and Yann’s older brother in my series! How I’ve missed him after giving him so much angst when we last saw him in season 3…

Like Aslan, I plan to have him return in season 5, too, so be ready to keep an eye out for him!

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

Yes, but he hasn’t appeared yet. I won’t spoil his identity (in case I change things), but I will say that, as of now, I intend for him to be related to a somewhat prominent character in Pacific Bay.

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

Love: Baking. Léon is a master baker and has been since he was little. When he was sick, he couldn't leave his house often and had to be careful with what he ate. So, his mother began experimenting with baking to create delicious but safe treats for her son to enjoy. On Léon’s good days, Martha would pull up a chair to the counter for him, and they would bake together. To this day, whenever Léon is baking, it takes him back to simpler times as he remembers baking with his mother and feeling free from the worries and fear of cancer.

Hate: Visiting hospitals. Léon has nothing against the medical field or its professionals, but he’s received enough bad news from hospitals that he dreads visiting, fearing he’ll just receive more… He still goes to all his appointments and does everything his doctors instruct, but he always has to mentally prepare himself for the worst, even if it's just for a simple check-up.

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

Meeting his little brother for the first time. There’s a large age gap between Léon and Yann (10 years), so he very clearly remembers his parents telling him he was going to be a big brother, his mother’s pregnancy, and meeting Yann after he was born. He’ll never forget the love he felt holding Yann for the first time and watching the baby smile at him with bright brown eyes.

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

When he found out his parents were dead. Léon was travelling back to the United States at the time and didn’t get the news until he landed in Pacific Bay. His flight had been delayed, so he arrived a few days later than intended. His aunt greeted him at the airport and told him the terrible news. Léon was so distraught and angry with himself for not being there to save them or to comfort Yann that when it came time for the funeral, he hid in the back, believing he didn’t deserve to sit up front after being away from his family for so long due to his cancer and later joining the army.

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

Mystery (for obvious reasons) and fantasy (for reasons I haven’t officially revealed yet).

(Do with that info as you like!😉)

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

The fact that even though I was making him up as I went along, he somehow managed to turn out to be a good OC!

However, a more character-based answer is his reliance and strength. Léon has been through a lot with his health (physical and mental), his family, friends and career, and despite every challenge he faced, he didn’t back down and kept going. Even when it seemed like the world was against him, Léon continued to push forward to reach the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

No. Even though Léon has battled cancer 3 times now, he’s beaten it each time, and I don’t plan to kill him off. (And I promise, after cancer battle #3, he will stay in remission!)

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

Yes. Léon has heliophobia - fear of the sun/sunlight/bright light.

I love teasing my secrets and surprises in these types of asks! Léon shall return like many of my OCs one day, and I look forward to revealing more of his lore! (And his secret special someone~)😊

[yannexiv]

Three with the wife.

He likely has some from his time following the Green Word though I'm not entirely sure how much those count. From the sounds of it, whichever male Viera that comes along just takes whichever teen boys are ready. He has at most 2-3 from that.

He likely has some with his NPC ship but those haven't been written in yet.

Between his three with the wife, likely 4-6 more with the others, PLUS the six step-kids his wife has with her other husband; I think he's good on kids at this point. 😂

I think 13-15 kids is more than enough. 😅

Does your WoL have children? Do they want any?

SHIP BATTLE RULES

People are to go into my ask box and submit any characters they would like to be featured in the ship battle. You are not to submit actual ships, the ships will be randomly decided based on what characters get submitted, that way it’s fair and we don’t just get all of the most popular ships, we can also get some absolutely ridiculous ships you’ll have to choose between. Of course there is always a chance that a popular ship will end up being randomly created.

If you wish to submit a character you must submit:

A main gen character

A marauders gen character

A next gen character

A character from one of the games (HM, HL, MA)

A death eater/order member/ministry official character

A miscellaneous character (creature, professor, founder etc.)

And two other characters of your choosing.

I will be accepting common OC’s such as Grant Chapman and Daisy Dursley

This means with each submission there will be eight characters, and this is to create a large variety of characters and large variety of ships. You also cannot submit more than once.

Once I have 64 characters (32 ships) the ship battle will commence. You’ll be able to find all other posts under the #hpshipbattles tag. This is all for good natured fun, don’t take the ships too seriously they are randomly generated from a large pool of 64 characters after all.

Below the cut is the characters that have been submitted so far.

I feel like I'm the only one who makes bullies straight.

For me, Rose is straight, Polly would also be straight, a little homophobic, Karl would be straight and super mega homophobic, and Yann is the only one who is bisexual (I ship him with Alexander Zabini [OC])

3. whose writing has impacted your writing style the most? (you can choose anyone! famous writer or not.)

[ HMMMMM... i have no clue tbh, i feel like my writing style is just a frankenstein's monster and i have been writing for so long that it's just developed into its own thing atp... def hg wells is one of my favourite authors, i love his descriptions and just how raw he writes emotions, and i rrrrrrrrreally do love yann martel's writing style, i want to read more books written by him and hopefully reach a level of beauty in my writing as his ]

4. which muse of yours is your all time favorite? if you stopped writing them: why?

[ oh boy this is embarrassing as hell but my all time fav is definitely definitely denmark from the aph series... i've revamped him into an oc and i do still write him although in my own stories, so idk if it still counts as writing HIM ? since atp he's just an oc now. (my second favourite has to be isa / saïx from the kh series — see the pattern here ? ) ]

Which eyes are your favourite ?

[yannexiv]

Up until the hair swap last week it was giving him freckles at the cost of his body hair.

I think it was a good sactifice though.

What are some of the biggest changes that you made to your wol(oc) since first making them in ffxiv?

[autumnalwalker]

Happy Blorbo Blurbsday!!

Do any of your character's names have a special meaning? If yes - who and what? If no - how then did you choose the names?

<3

CJ

So, most of my character names come out of random generation, but there are a few exception. Let's break it down by story.

The Archivist's Journal:

Almost all of the names in The Archivist's Journal I pulled from random dice roll tables in the back of the D&D sourcebook Xanathar's Guide To Everything. With three notable exceptions.

Pat: The friendly and nostalgic Village elder who's the first one to greet the Archivist upon washing up on the shore and repeatedly acts as a source of information and advice (albeit one fond of cryptic phrasing). His name was mostly a reference to the the book Life of Pi by Yann Martel, and its protagonist Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel who at one point winds up on a rather strange island but who also might be phrasing the entire story as a metaphor and/or coping mechanism. There's probably also a little bit of a reference to Saint Patrick as a revered figure associated with an island.

Theo: Pat's far less cordial counterpart who's implied to be possibly immortal, or something close to it. His name's mostly a pun about the theoretical and theological implications of his existence and role in the world of the Village.

Vernon: I don't know, dude just felt like a "Vernon" to me.

Empty Names:

So, with the main cast, in my initial brainstorming document I had them listed as Characters A/B/C/D/E, and they were arranged by gender with A and E being cis but gender noncomforming, B and D being transmasc and transfemme respectively, and C being genderfluid. This is the sort of conceptual symmetry that pleases me. A became Ashan Glassheart, B became Sullivan Bridgewood, and E became Eris. C and D became Road and Lacuna respectively, breaking from that original letter association (although maybe if I ever decide on a last name for Lacuna it will start with a D).

Ashan and Sullivan's names ultimately came from https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/, with some modification along the way. For Eris, I just started adding random syllables after the letter 'E' until something sounded good (the mythological reference was a happy accident, albeit one I embraced). Road and Lacuna's names were a bit more involved, and largely owe themselves to this post (that post also dictated which generator I used for Sullivan's name).

In trying to name Lacuna like a "22nd century cyberpunk hacker jewel thief" I remembered a word I'd been fond of ever since I first encountered it while reading Mervyn Peake's Titus Groan. It's a word that on one level just sounds really cool to me on a strictly phonetic sense, and on another level appeals to my fascination with absence/emptiness/void. I'd used it for one or two video game characters in the past and have always been on the lookout for a place to use it on a character for whom it would really fit, and I think found I finally found it with this Lacuna. Also, having named her a word meaning "an unfilled space or interval; a gap" was part of what led to the story as a whole being titled Empty Names. One part a play on Lacuna's name, and one part a reference to the linguistic philosophy/metaphysics concept of a proper name that refers to something or someone that doesn't exist. That concept in turn winds up referring in the story both to deadnames and to Road's ontological issues.

As for Road's name, that's partially a result of that previously-linked meme post about trans names commenting about non-binary names often being nouns, and partly a matter of them being a sort of spiritual successor to my oldest OC. That was a character that I'd been making up stories for since elementary or middle school (but never writing any of them down) whose thing was traveling from world to world, trying to do good, but most often by either providing additional support for the actual main character or by making some minor change that sets off a butterfly effect of consequences. They were originally a self-insert fanfic character but over time I started making up original stories just for them. Again, never wrote any of it down, just something to keep me occupied while daydreaming or trying to get to sleep that I continuously added to over time. And then in highschool I heard Greenday's Boulevard of Broken Dreams for the first time and that character suddenly had both a name and a framing device for how they got from world to world. Their name (more of a title really, not having a real name was a big part of their character) became The Walker (or just "Walker") and they traveled a seemingly infinite interdimensional highway, lined with bubbles that acted as portals to various worlds. While not the same character, Road inherited a lot of The Walker's characteristics and made the road that The Walker walked into their own name-that's-actually-just-a-convenient-alias-because-they-don't-have-a-real-Name-anymore.

The Melts:

Just a small one-off standalone story that I wrote for Halloween, but the name of the main character, Mil, has its roots in my personal life even further back than Road's.

When I was really young, I watched the movie Milo and Otis more times than I can remember. That's a movie about a kitten (Milo) and puppy (Otis) that grow up on a farm, become best friends, and then get lost and separated and grow up while trying to find their way back home and eachother. And then when my siblings and I finally talked our parents into getting us a cat, we wound up with an orange kitten that we named Milo, whom I also have a lot of nostalgia about, but anecdotes about him are a story for another time. Suffice to say, the name "Milo" and its feline association has stuck in my head for my entire life, resulting in several characters in RPGs getting named Milo (including my Guild Wars 2 charr) and an OC that was related to my oldest OC, The Walker (see the explanation on Road's name above).

Anyway, when I was coming up with the main POV character for The Melts I wanted it to be someone with biological augmentations that would be notable but not too weird. This led to the classic catgirl/catboy ears and tail; something that's just a little bit out there for a "normal" human being to have in our world, but would be considered boring and basic in that world. But I also wanted gender to be all over the place in that story, and so I made the POV character they/them nonbinary (again, simultaneously very slightly unusual in our world, but the most boring/basic/"normal" option that appears in that world story). So, the cat ears/tail led to me pulling "Milo" out as my archetypal catboy and then slicing the 'o' off of the end of the name to make it slightly more nonbinary by being less associated with a common-ish real-world masculine-gendered name.

The rest of the names in that story I left as placeholders until the entire story was written and then randomly pulled a bunch of names from babynames.com (with minor modifications) as I rushed to get the story posted in time for Halloween.
