– Sort of. He tends to get upset easily, not stressed out.

– Hm. He’s good at figuring out the motives of others, as well as deciphering their actions.

– He wants to settle down with his kids and not keep saving the world. He’s tired of being the commander but will do the job for as long as he needs.

– Yeah. God lemme get his baby pictures real quick. Gonna have to edit this after the fact.
EDIT: TA-DA! LOOOOOOK AT THE BABIE!

70.) What do you, the creator of this OC, like most about them?

– Fuck me uh. I love how he’s changed over the years. Originally he was meant to be a 6′5″ villainous cruel boy…but then he turned into a 5′6″ cinnamon roll. Idk how that happened.

85.) Do they like to cook?

– He loves to cook!! He loves to cook cakes and grill stuff over an open flame. It’s his favorite!

86.) What is something they can’t leave home without?

– Besides his weapons? Uh, probably his wedding ring and his bow string ring.

94.) Do they take criticism well?

– Mmm, yeah I think so. If you just say ‘YOU’RE DUMB’ without any reason then he’s gonna make you catch these hands

46, 57, 58, 68, 70, 72, 81, and 94 for Sagitta

46.) Have they ever won a contest before? If so, what for? What did they win?

– She won a cooking contest! She cooked some reeeeally good ribs and won a new charrzooka!

57.) What makes them standout among others?

– Good question. Maybe it’s her fiery armor.

58.) Do they like to show off?

– Yes and no. She likes to show off with trophies of her conquest, but rarely shows off personal details of her life. She puts up a front that others have to fight to get through.

– Sagitta prefers the night, but she’s fine during any time of day or night.

70.) What do you, the creator of this OC, like most about them?

15, 18, 24, 47, 53, 70, 75, and 85 for Pherus

15.) What was the last thing they cried about?

– Oh boy, uh. Probably over Orivan venturing into the Mists. He was scared he wouldn’t come back.

18.) Have they ever been in a romantic relationship?

– Yes. He fell in love with a Sunspear and ta-da! That’s how we have Orivan, his son.

24.) Can they play an instrument? If so, what instrument and what can they play?

– He can play just about any instrument you put in his hands, but he much prefers to sing, and he’s pretty damn good at it too!

47.) If the world were to end in 24 hours, where would they be and who would they be with?

– That’s tricky; he’d want to be with Orivan but their relationship is so strained Orivan would most likely refuse to see him. If he could, he’d be with his Sunspear wife, who died giving birth to Orivan. In a way, all he has to do is wait 24 hours if the world is gonna end.

53.) What is something that they want but can’t have?

– Pherus wants a meaningful relationship with Orivan, but he reeeeally screwed the pooch on that one. Bad.

70.) What do you, the creator of this OC, like most about them?

– Oh that’s tricky, uhhhh. He’s not really handsome, his story is pretty tragic…I think my favorite thing about him is gonna be his redemption arc…if I can figure it out.

75.) Have they ever partied too hard and their friends had to take them home?

– OH YES. MANY MANY MANY TIMES. MANY TIMES. L o t s.

85.) Do they like to cook?

14, 28, 50, 57, and 87 for Nadir

14.) What is a pet peeve of theirs?

– His biggest pet peeve is when people assume he is a servant of Joko simply because he’s a type of necromancer, despite him being a Sunspear.

– He already got his wish: Joko is dead.

50.) If they got called out by someone, what would they do?

– He’d either let it go or correct them firmly and without physical violence.

– He stands out for multiple reasons: he’s a Sunspear that doesn’t hide, he’s quite handsome, and he’s a necromancer.

87.) Who is someone that they rely on?

– Nadir doesn’t tend to rely on others, not even Bolt (an OC that belongs to @minit-hawk). He relies on himself.

38, 46, 63, 67, 77, and 83 for Ikhemiri

38.) Do they get along with others easily?

– Ikhemiri gets along well with others but can feel intimidated by other nobles, considering she was one herself.

46.) Have they ever won a contest before? If so, what for? What did they win?

– Back in Vabbi, she won various musical competitions. She was exceptional at the lute.

63.) Are they approachable?

– Depends. Most of the time she is, but if you’re scared of undead minions, she might not seem that approachable.

67.) What is something that is simple, but always makes them smile?

– The thing that always makes her smile is whenever her minions goof off. They’re so cute but have a mind of their own…if they ever had a mind in the first place

– Usually her minions cheer her up with their antics. She tried to teach one how to juggle skulls once!

17, 24, 57, 64, 73, and 84 for Fionndara?

17.) Do they have a best friend? If so, who, and what makes them their best friend?

– Best friend? I mean, Gabe is his lover so why not his friend? He’s the first human he really connected with and he became strongly attached.

24.) Can they play an instrument? If so, what instrument and what can they play?

– He can play the lute/guitar pretty well. He enjoys serenading his sweetheart, Gabe. >3<

57.) What makes them standout among others?

– Perhaps it’s his imposing stature or his dark armor? He gives an air of strength that seems contagious to others…some would say it’s inspiration

64.) Did they ever change their appearance?

– Yes. Before this, he had a different hairstyle. When his first lover died, he changed his hair and donned black armor, which he hasn’t changed out of since.

73.) What attracts them to another person?

– He’s captivated by those who have a childlike innocents and desire to learn. It reminds him of the saplings he used to care for.

84.) What is their neutral expression?

– Neutral expression? Not sure what this question means but uh…yeah I’m not sure what this means.

8, 14, 18, 45, 50, 53, 57, 70 and 79 for Lonrachan!

YESSSSS LONNIE HAS ASKS!

8.) What are their good and bad traits?

– Good traits: Pensive, silent (might be a bad trait), and a deep thinker.
– Bad traits: Silent/doesn’t communicate much, short temper, doesn’t trust easily, and apprehensive of like…everything.

14.) What is a pet peeve of theirs?

– Pet peeve? Hm. Considering he was born of a tree deep in the Maguuma, he gets called Mordrem a lot, even though he’s not. So his pet peeve is mordrem jokes or any insinuation that he’s one.

18.) Have they ever been in a romantic relationship?

– No, he hasn’t been in a romantic relationship before.

45.) Are they a quick learner?

– OH YES HE LEARNS FAST. VERY FAST. Him smort.

50.) If they got called out by someone, what would they do?

– Before or after he breaks their jaw?

53.) What is something that they want but can’t have?

– He wants to fit in. He sees all the other sylvari in Tyria and many of them can hear the Pale Tree. He was never part of that and can hear no voices. Because of this, he’s well aware he’s an outsider.

57.) What makes them standout among others?

– If it isn’t his height that makes him stand out, it’s a certain something that just doesn’t make him fit in. He doesn’t quite look like other Sylvari. Almost alien compared to them.

70.) What do you, the creator of this OC, like most about them?

– I like how he looks. It was hard to really like the face I chose for him but I started there and built around that. I think he turned out cute!! (Also people need to send more asks for him because c’mon, I need to build him up more!)

79.) What object do they care for the most?

– He isn’t very materialistic so I’m not sure how to answer this one.

28, 32, 38, 45, 87, and 90 for Dubhdara o3o

Aaaa I love Dubhdara, yessss!

28.) If they could have one wish, what would they wish for?

– He’d wish to spend eternity with Ethena (an OC of @clawojormag), of course! He loves her super lots a bunch.

32.) Do they get stressed out easily?

– Yes, especially if Ethena is threatened or in danger. He charges himself as her guardian (and husbando)

38.) Do they get along with others easily?

– Usually yes. He’s a pretty kind soul and enjoys helping others…while he eats cookies him wifey makes.

45.) Are they a quick learner?

– Sort of, yes. He’s awful at cooking though. Like, if he tried to cook bacon, he’d need a damn SWAT shield and a spatula on a ten foot pole, he’s THAT bad.

87.) Who is someone that they rely on?

– He relies on Ethena in a way. She is his strength and he is hers as well, at least I like to think so.

90.)

What is a joke that they would find funny

– Anything that comes out of Brahams mouth.
