Happy Wintersday from Commander Liana Rohland and Sparky!

[shiverpeakstraveler]

OC ask for Liana please!

Contains some spoilers for the current Living World

1: List five basic facts about your OC.

Liana is a Magister of the Durmond Priory, the Pact Commander, and Leader of Dragon’s Watch

While her backstory does involve the Lost Parents storyline for humans, instead of being taken back to Divinity’s Reach, Liana is found by a traveling Shaman of Raven and taken to Hoelbrak.

She suffers from astraphobia. It probably doesn’t help that the night her birth parents died at the hands of the White Mantle, there had been a pretty big thunderstorm occurring.

She set out for Kryta at the age of 17 to try and learn more about her family, arriving just as the centaurs attacked Shaemoor.

She is definitely known for her bizarre appetite, much to the chagrin of her adoptive brother Hjalmar. (you can imagine he flipped when he found out she consumed toxic-cured bacon)

2: Post a line of dialogue from your OC.

The corner of Liana’s mouth twitched into a smirk as she finished off the remains of her breakfast. “Honestly, I think I was more scared of Gixx then I was of the shades or the possibility of the entire mountain coming down upon our heads. Asura can be downright intimidating when they’re mad.”

3: Post a snippet from your writing that describes your OC.

4: Post a snippet from your writing in which another OC describes your OC.

Gaaaaaah……..for both three and four, I’m afraid I don’t have enough chapters in my fanfic to have snippets that could fully answer those. Real life and work managed to get in the way before I had a chance to expand beyond three chapters, but thankfully now I’m feeling the spark for creativity return, so I’ll definitely try to get a chapter out as soon as possible!

5: Describe your OC’s physical appearance.

Liana is fairly tall, standing at roughly 5′7′‘. She has amber brown eyes and she has a warm brown complexion with golden undertones. She has dark brown hair that is almost always worn in an undercut style with a few braids on the left side, although since her return from the Land of the Lost, she now has a white streak running through it as well. She has a large scar stretching from her collarbone down past her stomach from where Balthazar had killed her, and recently a bolt shaped scar surrounded by burns has added itself across her chest from Bangar’s attempt on her life.

6: Describe your OC’s love life.

Liana has no experience when it comes to romance, the most she knows coming from romance novels. Around the time of Living World 3, she realizes she has romantic feelings for Braham Eirsson, but then the events in Bitterfrost Frontier occur. After A Bug In The System, however, Braham reveals he had harbored attraction towards Liana as well when the two find the time to talk. They both decide it would be best to reconcile and become friends again before determining if they were both ready for a romantic relationship. Sometime between A Star to Guide Us and All or Nothing is when the two decide to become lovers.

7: Describe your OC’s fashion sense.

Given how the Commander hardly gets any rest, Liana is usually in leather armor a majority of the time. She has a few select pieces for fancy occasions, but she tends to prefer armor that’s easy to move in and offers the best protection. On the rare occasions she does have some downtime, she tends to be a person who prefers dressing for comfort, usually favoring colors like blues and greens.She does have a few fancy party dresses she really likes that Kasmeer helped her pick out, but sadly, she hasn’t been able to find the time to wear them as of yet.

8: Describe one of your OC’s bad habits.

Bottling her emotions up. She feels like she has to remain strong for everyone and not show any signs of faltering. Thankfully, with the support of friends and a professional, she’s starting to get better at dealing with emotions in a more healthy way.

9: Your OC is having a nightmare. What is it?

A lot of her nightmares tend to be centered around people that have died: Sieran, Apatia, Kekt, Eir, and most recently General Soulkeeper.

These nightmares almost always revolve around her reliving their deaths, usually finding herself frozen as she witnesses them sacrificing themselves to save others (Sieran and Apatia) or she’s trying to prevent their death from occurring only for their demise to still come about (Kekt and Eir).

As far as the death of General Soulkeeper, it alternates between seeing it through Ryland’s eyes after she viewed it in the Eye of the North’s vision pool or she’s witnessing it from a third person point of view.

10: You are conducting a ritual. What 5 items would you need to summon your OC?

Pizza, a harlequin romance novel, chocolate, a stuffed wolf plush, and fire orchids (her favorite flower)

11: What does your OC want for their birthday?

Arrows are always good to have, although she would really love to have a collection of stories from different parts of Tyria.

12: What does your OC give another OC for their birthday?

She’d try to look in to see if there’s something they’d been really wanting for a while. If she’s unable to do that, she’ll usually try to make them something, either a small carving or a drawing.

13: Describe your OC’s living situation.

For awhile she lived in the Great Lodge in Hoelbrak, but recently she’s usually made camp where she ends up. As of now, she’s currently residing in a side room within the Eye of the North.

14: What is one of your OC’s secrets?

She can’t dance at all.

15: Your OC is given the chance to go back in time. Where do they go and what do they do?

This is a bit of a tough one. If she had to narrow it down, though, she’d probably go back to try and warn Trahearne about Mordremoth before the Pact Fleet had a chance to leave for the jungle. Even though she’s forever grateful for Guenhwyvar’s aid in fighting the Jungle Dragon, she wishes there could have been a way to prevent so much loss of life.

16: If your OC could have any superpower, which would it be and why?

I guess in a way her soulbeast abilities count as a superpower. I feel like she would love the ability to make portals though to make traveling from place to place during dire situations a hell of a lot easier, though.

17: How does your OC do during the zombie apocalypse?

She’d probably do well. She has some fairly good skills when it comes to surviving and hunting. She may want to curb back a bit on eating random things she finds, though.

18: What is your OC’s dream job?

Liana has decided that once the Elder Dragons are dealt with and she’s able to hang up her mantle as Commander, she plans to open a lodge of her own to run and possibly raise skyscales.

19: Your OC’s life is a musical. What’s the title of their big show-stopping song?

Not sure what sort of tune it would have, but it would probably be called “We’re Cancelling the Apocalypse.”

20: Post a picture or gif that describes your OC.

@cousinslavellan/ @tangledpaths / @amariahellcat took me completely by surprise and gifted me with this amazing commission of Liana done by the awesomely talented Alex Coggon!

Thank you so much again, Cass! I literally did not expect this and I love how amazing my Commander looks!

[shiverpeakstraveler]

Came up with a new look for Liana in preparation for the new chapter of the Icebrood Saga tomorrow! She’s definitely ready to face the cold now

Also ran into the amazing @cousinslavellan / @tangledpaths ingame as well, and snagged a few screenshots with her of our commanders together! It was great to run into you again!

[shiverpeakstraveler]

The Outrider skin for the Warclaw makes an awesome snow leopard mount if you tinker with the dyes enough :D

[shiverpeakstraveler]

Been working on crafting the new legendary longbow Pharus for Liana, and so far I’ve managed to make some pretty decent progress!

Items Made/Acquired:

Gift of Condensed Magic x 2

Gift of Condensed Might x 2

Spero (precursor weapon)

Gift of Pharus

Gift of the Desert

Gift of the Rider

Bloodstone Shard

Items I still Need:

250 Funerary Incense (70/250 atm)

250 Mystic Coins (28/250 atm) Edit: 250/250 Mystic Coins Acquired!

77 Mystic Clovers (60/77 atm)

I’ll be honest, this is the farthest I’ve ever gotten trying to craft one of the legendary weapons, and I’m pretty excited to see this completed! I’ll try and share whatever progress I make, especially when the bow itself is finally complete!

[shiverpeakstraveler]

Decided to give Liana a new attire yet again, especially when I saw the new armor sets in the previews for Episode 4 of the Living World.

The new look mainly includes pieces from the new medium Elegy armor save for the gloves and shoulders, which instead use pieces from the Armor of Koda set. As far as dyes go, it uses Blue Whale and Blacklight, with Darkness for the metallic areas.

Also testing out a different hairstyle. I may end up going back to the braid, but for now I’m liking how everything looks on her!

I’ve also made a minor cosmetic change to her appearance. As much as I liked the violet eyes on her, I stumbled across the brass eye color while looking around in the makeover kit and found they look alot better on her then the violet did. 

[shiverpeakstraveler]

Felt like the title was appropriate, given how Liana is part of the Durmond Priory.
