19. Do they no how to dance (Waltz or otherwise?): Heliox knows a number of more solo, traditional Hingan dances (which he learned while living there), but no waltzes or anything of the sort. He does have good rhythm though, as one would expect, and can usually keep best. He's usually playing the instruments more than dancing to them, if that makes sense.

24. How does your OC/WOL express affection? (Platonic & Romantic): I'll preface with the information that Heliox is a VERY tactile guy—his platonic affection is frequent, and usually involves hugging, though he's also been known to kiss his friends in the cheek or forehead platonically. Romantically is harder to distinguish—there's a visible sort of closeness that his platonic affections lacks—not, to be clear, in a bad way, but merely in a way that is different. Handholding, proper handholding and not the grabbing of friends' wrists, is generally a more romantic maneuver, as well as kisses on the neck or lips, more intimate positions.

26. Who are in your OC/WoL's circle of friends? (Can be a mix of OCs & NPCs)

Heliox is very much the kind of guy who makes friends wherever he goes, so his total circle is very large. For the purposes, this will mostly just be those in his immediate friend group—which is namely, the Scions, especially Estinien and G'raha, whom he is particularly close to. Outside of that, he's also good friends with Hien (they hang out/write on as often occasion as various responsibilities) and Sidurgu&Rielle (since they're a package deal).

WoL/FFXIV OC question!

What does your WoL/OC smell like, and why? Do they smell like roses and morning dew, or is their scent more earthy and grounded? Or perhaps they smell like salt and sea from years of fishing and sailing?

#this is a fun one!#j'zara is the easiest because he smells like ink old books and generally also something unmistakably earthy #rijun smells like steel polish gunpowder ans the metallic tang of blood #heliox smells like bow rosin; the unmistakeable smell of thr air just before it rains; and the faint but tangible smell of something acrid #and citrus-y. almost chemical

pros of multiple blogs: things are well organised cons of multiple blogs: remembering to switch back to main to reblog tender old men

WoL/OC Question(s)!

This one goes out to the WoLshippers! Who do you ship your WoL/OC with? An NPC or another WoL/OC? How did they meet, and how long have they been together? What kind of relationship do they have?

Show me your favorite SFW gpose/art of them together!

#depends on the universe for heliox! in a multiple pc universe he's married to dain royale (my real husband's wol)#in a solowol universe he's dating estinien at present (though the two are considering adding g'raha to the relationship!)#j'zara is at current dating no one...however a certain gleaner does keep catching his eye!#and at present no one for rijun (he's very busy in all honesty!) but im working on a little special someone for him dont you worry

WoL Question(s)!

Is your WoL/OC a student of Sharlayan? What is their field of study? Are they an Archon or are they still working on it (or are they even interested in being one)? Are they a good, hardworking student or do they forget to do their homework and fall asleep in class?

If your WoL/OC isn't a student, what would the hypothetical answers to those questions be?

scholarly-minuet

OOOOOOOO. J'zara is a student of Sharlyan! Although certainly not originally from Sharlyan, he was scouted (Things Happened) and ended up attending and studying Healing/Chirurgeon skills, and Archaeology, with a particular focus on Nym and Belah'dia. (Of course, he's studied Allagans too, but who hasn't really? The scholars of Nym fascinated him far more.)

He's a VERY dedicated student, but more than a little scatterbrained - he only forgot assignments a few times, but he was devastated when it happened.

Rijun is NOT a student, and would probably make a poor one - he's bright, but would likely be bored out of his skull in a Sharlyan setting. Heliox, similarly, is not a student - he would try more than Rijun, but he's easily distractible. I think both would be able to steamroll through if they needed, but they wouldn't be particularly happy about it.

WOLQOTD - Scars!

Does your OC/Muse/WoL have any notable scars?

How did they get it?

How do they feel about it, does it bother them, do they feel proud of it, maybe sad about it?

More questions here if you want!

#heliox has three major scars: 1) a huge gash across his ribs (from zenos #2) two under breast scars from top surgery #3) one gash across his forehead and through his eyebrow...also from zenos (although this was the endwalker fight)#of note: im also debating adding more bc realistivslly i feel hed have more from his Depression Era in HW-SB. but i need to look back thru #for those to expand on it. i do know its likely going to be on an arm or leg #jzara doesnt have too terribly much in the eay of scars-#a couple of little ones on his fingers and hands from a life of clumsiness #rijun however is fucking covered in scars.#both slashes and gashes from swords and magitek blads tearing him up #but also multiple surgery scars from where he was experimented on #notable location for that is across his forehead

In terms of personality is your wol(oc) more of a cat or a dog?

#cat-j'zara (he is a miqo this is a freebie)#cat - rijun (he is prickly and grouchy. but also touch starved)#dog - heliox #(heliox's btw since i didnt elaborate: he's a hell of a people pleaser....even to his detriment.)

#heliox is decent. but hes headstrong. if he deems it necessary he will just ignore them #zara's quite good at it generally speaking... years in school lend well to it #rijun is fucking BAD AT IT THO.....#rulebreaker. damn wonder hes still is any form of organised military movement (lethe's tears)#(incidentslly his refusal to follow orders certsinly didnt help when he was captured by garleans and experimented on...)

what are your wol(oc)'s dreams for the future?

#in helioxs immediate future he has no plans beyond see where the wind may take him #but way...WAY further down the line he'd like to have a child or two.#jzara has absolutely nothing of the sort planned. hes going to continue documenting historical sites until he dies #hes not much of a romsntic to be frank! nkt sgainst the idea but not looking #rijun's goals align with retaking and rebuilding dalmasca. if that happened tomorrow...i think he'd be lost #his only dream is peace for his homeland. beyond that...well he doesnt reslly know

WOLQOTD - Dreams!

Does your OC/Muse/WoL have an ambition that they want to fulfil?

Is it their childhood dream?

How much would they be willing to risk in order to achieve it?

How organized is your wol(oc)?

#heliox is somewhat organised. theres a method to his madness. (but it looks like an incredible mess to the passing eye despite his protests)#j'zara is a humanoid typhoon. his workspace looks like a tornado blew through #he can immediately cause disarray to an organised space within like. seconds its a talent really #rijun is VERY organised however. his bedchambers are in a constant state of neatness— his weapons are well cared for and polished #its kind of insane. rijun and jzara's meeting...well they certainly clashed on some fronts

For non-wols: what kind of legends have your OC heard about the WoL? Do they believe in them?

for WoLs: What legends have you heard people make about you? Are they true?

scholarly-minuet

NON WOLS:

J'zara: He'd heard some few mumblings about the adventurer known as Heliox when he was living in Ul'dah —stories of the boy singlehandedly defeating a primal, and of taking on an entire group of angry Amal'jaa without killing a single one — but he'd ultimately paid them little mind, focusing ever more on his studies of Belah'dia and his own work with the Scions, aiding them in his own way with both research and a mending hand when it was required. However, once Heliox joined the Scions, and the two worked together a few times, J'zara began to understand the rumours. Even for being as small as he was (under 5 fulms at the time), Heliox's personality dominated the room when he wanted it to. Eventually, he even began to believe them - especially when the man (for he was a man, and not the boy J'zara had assumed him to be) confirmed in person a scant few of the tales.

Rijun met Heliox FAR later in life - well, met him in his capacity as the WoL.* As such, the rumors surrounding him were far, far taller than they had been for Zara - in fact they were mountainous, claiming such things as him being the closest friend of the Doman Emperor, of him having by himself alone having driven the Garlean threat out of both Eorzea but also of his nearer neighbors in the East. Rijun put little and less stock into them - such tales were often overblown, and Rijun thought of him with no large amount of respect. For Rijun, respect was earned, and he hadn't seen for himself the 'battlefield prowess' of the warrior of light - thus, as far as he was concerned, such a thing didn't exist. That is, until in his capacity as a member of Lente's Tears, assisting the Bozjan Resistance, he aided in battle the WoL, and saw for himself just how little the rumors were exaggerated.

WOL:

Heliox is HORRIBLY embarrassed by the legends surrounding himself - and more than a little annoyed by it. DRK is a canon class for him, and the events are canon - the overreliance of people on him and him alone was part of the reason for his breakdown during the Dragonsong War. Most of the 'legends' are like a game of telephone - simply stories of a true event happening that people blew far out of proportion down the grapevine. Nowadays, he doesn't let it get under his skin so badly, but he does often tire of the illusion people have of him, rather than the reality of who he truly is. (On some level, he is glad for the mythos, though—ever the wanderer. He doesn't often get immediately recognized if he's not in his general armour or battlefield attire, and he can roam the streets relatively easily.)

#Rijun doesnt realise this until its mentioned to him following the victory at the Dalriada #but he and heliox had met previously - YEARS before in fact when Rijun was on the run from the Garleans #He was hunkering down in Kugane st the time - and it was at the same time (this is pre-calamity) that heliox was working at the bokairo inn #Rijun stayed there for a few weeks; working for a room and working slongside heliox.#He didnt recognise heliox later largely because he hadnt been paying that much sttention to him #but also because heliox had grown over two and a half fulms in the time since. It was about 10 years after all.#Heliox is insanely good at remembering names and faces though - he didnt forget Rijun. Was certainly surprised to see him again however!
