thanks! the song I got for this was Home by AlicebanD. my favourite lyrics from it are
I might not say yes
I mean I won't say no, I never say no
I mean I might say I might
But we all know that really means no
nothing deep here, I just really like how the repetition sounds to say it out loud
this is an Eichlladd song I think. it feels a little world weary, but in a more cocky kinda way, like "I know more than you", which is why its him and not Ffoirre. it seems like the singer is kinda sick of everything being so mundane and repetitive, and that makes me think of Eichlladd more than any of my other OCs
hey, thanks for the ask :) sorry my answer is a little late, i only just saw this
1) Wears lots of jewelry
Probably Eichlladd. There's a bit of a 'skulls and snakes' theme, and on anyone else they would look like a massive edgelord, but on him it really works
2) Likes nature
Ashildr is a ranger, of course she likes nature. Same for Maja (look at that I'm talking about Maja. That hasn't happened in a loooong time)
3) Hair game strong
Even though Thora doesn't pay much attention to how they look, somehow their hair is always Fantastic
4) Slays everyone’s existence with their looks
I'm not saying Kallisto is canonically my hottest OC, but I'm also not not saying that
5) Will kill you and laugh
Fjanni has that perfect mad scientist cackle when fae sets something on fire. If you get caught in the way that's hardly her fault
6) Loves dragons
Efalynn literally has a dragon daughter (Aurene my beloved). The rest of them are bastards though
7) Has a sad backstory
I'd say Efalynn, but her sad backstory is mostly just... the canon story. It still counts though. I am Very mean to her. Also Rhiannwen, for someone with a much less canon-compliant story
8) Will laugh uncontrollably at a stupid pun they made
Krett. Absolutely Krett. Xe is a menace to Sasha and Sieran. (They love it though)
9) Will watch hours upon hours of the nature channel
One of Ashildr's favourite pastimes is cuddling up to her bear, Constance, and burning through a knee-high stack of zoology books like I did in primary school before the gifted kid burnout hit. Somehow Constance knows when Ashildr is reading about bears, and gets very excited. When her raven (Larceny) joins them, Ashildr swears he's reading along, and he'll peck at the book if he wants Ashildr to turn the page
10) Fascinated by serial killers
Hmm... I'll tentatively say Ffoirre for the Nightmare Court association, or Fjanni since fae's part of the Inquest, but I don't think any of them would be, really? Mostly because I think the whole "serial killer fandom" is really really weird and disrespectful to the victims, and I don't particularly want to put that on any of my OCs. Rhiannwen would enjoy crime novels though, if that counts?
11) Will deck you in the face for the last slice of pizza
Replace pizza with anything sweet, and this is Krett all over. If xe shares cake with you, that's practically a declaration of undying love
12) Loves to skate
Sasha can't deal with the cold since they lost their arm to icebrood, so ice skating is a big no, but I think she'd really enjoy rollerskating. Would she be good at it? ...Unsure. But she'd have a great time regardless
The version with my nice desktop theme is here, but for the mobile gang, this is a list of all my OCs! I put them in alphabetical order, mostly so I could find them a bit easier. Under a cut, because this is long.
Ashildr Skolldottir
Pronouns: she/her
Race/class: norn ranger
Age: 24
Date of creation: 3/4/21

Suffers from severe chronic pain after falling out of a tree when she was young, and uses Constance as a mobility aid
Currently lives in Divinity's Reach, as the cold of the Shiverpeaks worsens her pain

Efalynn
Pronouns: she/her
Race/class: sylvari reaper
Age: 18 months
Date of creation: 28/6/20
Personality: Inquisitive, booksmart and very hardworking. Lawful good. Serious and awkward at first, but opens up around her friends. Slightly paranoid and totally exhausted from all the fighting
(big spoilers up to the end of PoF. this is long, she's my favourite OC and I have a lot to say, plus I'm not good at condensing things (which is obvious if you've ever seen me answer an ask game. sorry!)
My Commander, so she mostly follows the main story
Her twin sister Rhiannwen was seemingly killed during an early Pact mission when Efalynn was forced to leave her behind -- see Rhiannwen's notes for more info
[Note: my timeline is condensed for angst reasons >:) so HoT is just a few months after the personal story]
Fought an illusory version of Rhi in Mordremoth's mind -- this plus Trahearne's death left her terrified that she'll cause the death of another person she cares about
Refuses to go back to the jungle unless it's really necessary. Prefers to avoid the whole Maguuma region if possible
Cut contact with her friends after HoT due to her fears, only meeting up with them accidentally in Amnoon. Things stayed tense between them, leading to her facing Balthazar alone
Since returning from the Domain of the Lost, Efalynn struggles with temporary memory loss and vivid nightmares, though she powers through
Dying also left her Soundless, which she hates
When not on a Pact mission, Efalynn travels Tyria, researching necromancy and its effect on sylvari to try and find a cure for her sister
Ex-Whispers Lightbringer, though she quit after the death of her close friend Tybalt
Also has Priory ties due to her research, but rejected offers to join numerous times
Asexual greyromantic lesbian, but has very little time for romance so she doesn't really think about it
Has names for each of her minions, and sometimes gives them hats to wear
She can't stand the heat, it reminds her too much of the jungle and of Balthazar

Eichlladd
Pronouns: he/him
Race/class: sylvari harbinger
Age: 6 years
Date of creation: 17/8/21
Personality: Smug bastard. Very talkative, loves unnerving people (but means no harm by it). Super generous, just loves a good time. Very proud of his necromancy skills
Has a pet snake called Myrtle, which he keeps wrapped around his arm, and uses her venom for his elixirs
Possibly from another Pale Tree? (see below)
[Note: he was my character for the EoD beta event on the 17th-21st August. I got super attached to him after doing a beta character RP event with my guildmates, so I decided to write him down as one of my official OCs, but since he's an EoD character, I haven't really given him any lore yet. But watch this space!]

Ffoirre
Pronouns: he/him
Race/class: sylvari warrior
Age: 11 years
Date of creation: 17/2/21
Personality: Grumpy, cynical, very stoic and hates opening up to people, though he's ride or die for those who take the time to befriend him. Very disillusioned with the world
Joined the Nightmare Court when he was very young, swayed by the promise of power (and a crush on Gavin)
Was known as the "Knight of Poison" for using it on his weapons
Left the Court after a few years, bored of the constant infighting and betrayal
You know that post that's like "accidentally developed morals, felt regret for first time in life, proceeded to have a breakdown"? yeah
But he's still not sure if he'd refuse Gavin if he got a second chance
Voluntarily became Soundless, but sometimes misses the Dream
Thinks he would have been a mesmer if he had any magical talent
Became very good friends with Efalynn over several coincidental meetings
Arospec gay

Kallisto Dawnheart
Pronouns: she/her
Race/class: sylvari guardian
Age: 3 years
Date of creation: 27/7/21
Personality: Very confident, headstrong (maybe reckless), honest to a fault. Super reliable except when it comes to keeping track of time. Acts flirty and suave but is really a disaster gay
Vigil warmaster, later promoted to Commander alongside Efalynn (not entirely decided when/how/why yet, since I haven't played Icebrood Saga but sshhh)
A great healer, but sometimes forgets the best defence isn't always a good offence
Trans lesbian

Maja Spirittale

Recruiter Fjanni
Pronouns: she/fae
Race/class: asura elementalist
Age: 22
Date of creation: 18/8/21
Personality: Very chill and polite, absolutely not the kind of person you'd expect to set something on fire or blow it up just to see what happens. Fantastic liar. Faer interests come above all else
Kicked out of the College of Dynamics after starting too many fires (by accident! Mostly)
Joined the Inquest, became a recruiter to present a more ethical side. Fae knows it's not entirely true, but as long as she can keep doing what she wants, she doesn't really care

Rhiannwen
Pronouns: she/her
Race/class: sylvari thief
Age: 18 months
Date of creation: 21/9/20
Personality: Blunt, asocial and wary, but very loyal. Can't stand being the centre of attention. Represses most of her emotions, so outwardly very stoic
Became a scion of Zhaitan after getting captured on a Pact mission and enduring a risky procedure where her soul was placed into a body created by the dragon
Lost most of her memories during this, but instinctively recognised Efalynn as her sister the next time they met (and fought)
Was almost totally under Zhaitan's control while it was still alive
When Zhaitan was killed, she regained a few of her earlier memories in exchange for those she'd made after the procedure
Remembers her sister only as a purple sylvari and travels Tyria to find her, but avoids the Pact due to being visibly undeadish
Became Soundless when her soul was transplanted into her new body, doesn't remember enough of the Dream to be upset by this
Glows constantly, but it's dimmer than most sylvari
Her skin feels like dead leaves, and she's unable to feel physical sensations

Age: 19
Date of creation: 20/9/20

Priory explorer, best friends with Magister Sieran and Krett
Lost her left arm to icebrood corruption, but was able to make a prosthesis with her engineering skills
Can't stand the cold (which is why they use a lot of fire-based skills)
Named their main gyro Sparks, and has nicknames for all the others too
Fantastic shot with a pistol
Wanted to be an elementalist but didn't have much talent for magic, and found she enjoyed building things more
Disaster bi, demigirl

Joined all orders to see which xe preferred but hasn't picked one yet
Met Sasha on a Priory mission and became friends almost immediately
Dreams of owning a huge library/lab with them and becoming Tyria's leading expert on... something. Xe hasn't decided on that either
Ridiculous sweet tooth
