Hi!! Kind of a silly question but I remember a long while ago there was some sort of Google doc or sheet that showed all the swears or curse words the scions used and I was wondering if you were the author of that and if so do you still have a link to it?
if not sorry for the bother! 😭 Thank you for all your hard work on the script! it's something i use religiously.
i did make it, yes! i never posted a link to it because it was actually just one sheet in my gigantic personal FFXIV doc lol.
but here, i just made a public version (along with a handful of the other sheets people might find interesting or useful o/)! it's messy and not up to date because it was only personal notes, but feel free to copy and use for yourself if you'd like!
also it's ZERO bother; it makes me so glad to know people liked it!!!! and of course likewise for the script!!! 😭💖
I see you have a lot of ocs!! Which one of your characters is your favorite? Which of their lore came easiest to you? Who do you think was designed the best and why?
( 💜 from @tsunael )
I love all my OCs 😭 I love them each for different reasons and with different intensity depending on what I’m feeling / who is on my mind. And it would be cheating to say Zetoichi since he’s my sona and namesake and I brought him into FFXIV from my original worlds.
Other than him, it’s always a safe bet to say Baatu since he’s my main and I started the game seriously with him! He has the most in depth and thought about lore, though Aoki has the longest and most researched lore. I always come back to Baatu though.
Baatu’s lore also came to me pretty nicely as I learned more about Ishgard and some things just fell into place. Aoki also had some lore fall into place really nicely as I learned about the tribes of the Steppe. They’re both toe to toe when it comes to character and story building and the efforts that I put into them.
Honorary mention would be Tomiel as well! His story is originally a D&D based one. He is an Aasimar in those worlds. His lore was a fun challenge that surprisingly was easy for me to rearrange to fit FFXIV!
Right now, I’m thinking a lot about Shunbai and Makar (as well as another character I’m still trying to figure out). A few of them I have on hold lore wise since I am trying to build up info and content for others. I wish I had all the time in the world to just play with my OCs 😅
informal: What's your OC's lazy-day look? How do they like to dress when they're winding down?
Ellie's at-home/lazy day look is probably the biggest shock for most people, since they see how she is super dolled up outside her home, meanwhile when she's at home and comfortable, she is very much in "couch potato" mode. When at home alone, she is often just seen sporting a simple top and pair of bottoms.
Even she gets tired of keeping up LITERAL appearances at times.
change: Has your OC ever drastically changed their appearance? Significant haircuts, big tattoos, complete wardrobe swap, etc? Why? How do they feel about the change?
I think there's plenty of gposes to say the big change with her so I'll skip a photo for this one and opt for text-based instead.
Definitely one of the biggest changes with Ellie were her tattoos. It's not often you see people, where she comes from at least, who are as heavily tattooed as she is.
She was quite committed to her tattoo, as she even had the bottoms of her feet tattooed. As to why she got such a heavy tattoo, part of it is to hide some rather heinous scars, another is due to personal reasons she doesn't reveal easily to many. Though those who know her past understand why.
formal: What's your OC's formal look? Do they like dressing up? Do they have different looks for different occasions?
Ellie is vanity's poster child; she dresses up for any occasion, even if she doesn't feel like it, because in her eyes: her appearance is everything. But there's more to it than simple vanity (which I will explain below a read more)
Ellie's formal wear can consist of very different styles, but she is fond of dresses, and kimonos (though she is also fond of dress suits, as she feels comfortable in pants should she ever need to, and I quote, "make a quick get-away".)
----------------------------------
makeup: Does your OC wear makeup? How often? What kind? Why do they wear makeup, and do they like it?
As most can tell by my gposes, Ellie wears very heavy/gothic makeup. While its mostly because the gothic aesthetic is my personal choice in her style, she also just likes wearing it that way because she prefers it.
On top of it, I think the difference between her real personality and her appearance is a contrast I enjoy.
And now for some clarification on my first answer...
Circling back to how she dresses, her attire and appearance is also a predator's guise; besides making herself seem harmless and incapable of protecting herself, she also dresses in a sexy/appealing manner to get attention because that is how she finds humanoid prey (granted, most of her targets don't even realize it because she never kills them, and certain circumstances that I cannot say here make them simply think the post-aether drain dizzy spells are from something else)
These days she rarely has to do it, since her partners willingly 'feed' her whenever she needs a fix, and she has people who willingly give her small increments of aether to sustain her, but if she is dressing sexy and going somewhere? Assume she's probably going for a "snack run", as my friends call it.
