1, 5, 17 for any ffxiv ocs if you have them!
I do! Áine and Farkhad (catboy version) are my xiv ocs
1- what inspired you to pick that OC’s name?
Áine's name is actually shared with my KOTOR 2 character. I liked the name, didn't know what I wanted to call my elf when I made them, and figured I would change it/make a new character later. I did not do that :)
Farkhad is named after Farkhad from Pathologic because he is Farkhad from Pathologic, if he were not-dead, cursed, and also a catboy for some reason.
5- what is important in a relationship (platonic or romantic) for this OC?
For Áine, mutual trust. They've been let down a lot by people in their youth and it's important for them to be someone others can rely on and trust to follow through. They also like to make the most of time with others, as they travel a lot due to MSQ shenanigans. They make a point to stop by and visit old friends whenever they're nearby.
Farkhad values making memories with other people and spending time with those who share his passions. He'll happily talk someone's ear off about philosophy, architecture, or math, but he'd prefer to have a true discussion and hear the other person's opinions.
17- what is your oc weapon of choice?
Both my wols have several jobs/classes I consider to be somewhat or entirely canon, but their main jobs are white mage/black mage (Áine) and summoner/sage (Farkhad). So Áine uses a cane heavily and Farkhad has books and laser beams.
I've put more thought into how Áine functions in combat, and my headcanons are a cane doubling as a rod for both types of magic, weapons of light (sword and shield) for paladin influence, and chakrams to fall back on for dancer attacks.
