Dearheart we're running out of time...

Firstborn Falke, who tried to be so much for so many...

Pulled themself in too many directions, gifted child syndrome they had too much pressure on them, and it caused them to overexert their powers as a mesmer in turn. Sending out clones and illusions to help while they helped elsewhere, giving too much power and agency to those other selves, until it all spiraled out of control and the illusions were appearing second-natue without Falke even trying. Even when they wouldn't be necessary.

One day Falke looks over and just sees...themself. In another room of their home. They hear friends bring up conversations they don't remember having because the real them wasn't there. They try to reel it in but it's too late, their magic is out of their control and has a life of its own, they made this too second-nature to stop it now.

And it starts really making them wonder at times if they're the real Falke or one of the illusions, how much realism did they give those clones to act independently...? Do they all have memories? True agency? Which one becomes the real Falke then?

It starts affecting Falke and their illusions physically, magic as strong as ever but their sense of self shattering like illusions when they vanish...their illusions all start looking a little fragmented, like they're starting to shatter and vanish already, but they still go off to find ways to help before actually vanishing. Falke themself is growing in new ways, cracks in their bark mimicking the shattered effect and their glow shining through...

They've become somewhat of a cautionary tale in the Grove and surrounding Caledon forest, where you can see their clones out and about still finding people to help, as their main body stays within the Grove among concerned siblings trying to help them recover.

3 for falke, 5 for canary n 31 for tao :)

and e, f for you about anyone u want! :3c

I will do E and F for these three as well cause it's easier than digging through my huge list of ocs ;3c

FALKE:

3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

Super sappy, since they date a very eepy gal they will genuinely think of her and what she might be dreaming about. Drifting off mentally reaching out to their beloved. On hard to sleep nights they'll sometimes even go curl up with Sonia to get at least a little nap in 🥺

Once they are thoroughly fragmented...well, their sleep is too and it's more of a lost cause 😭

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

I like to think we would get along great! I've gotten along well with a lot of people like Falke, and used to be that "do everything and stretch myself too thin" person myself before severe emotional burnout. Think they got that a bit from me now that I think about it actually whoops

F) What do you feel when you think of your OC(pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

It's a complicated thing for Falke, I love them but am also deeply fascinated and love digging into how their burnout manifested through mesmer magic.

CANARY:

5. How easy is it to earn their mistrust?

If you're in it just for yourself, very easy! Canary is a team player, she is ride or die for the Aetherblades and a large part of her fleeing the Court was a lack of her getting agency and seeing other saplings losing theirs as well. If you're a lone wold she Does Not trust you and expects you to screw others over.

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

I think we could be good acquaintances, we wouldn't be close friends but we could have some smalltalk and know each other by name at gatherings.

F) What do you feel when you think of your OC(pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

So much pride, I love Canary dearly and her risen status is a point of pride in character creation for me uvu

TAOMESIN:

31.  Who are they the most glad to have met?

Rhosill @ascalonianpicnic full stop. Rhosill is the best thing to happen to them, and they're not sure why he stuck out the worst parts of their life with them. They blew up pretty harshly at him several times, but he's the only one who saw they needed help and kept trying to provide that support until they hit a point where they could admit they needed it. I could honestly go on for hours about the various ways this ended up happening and how the two went from friends to Tao pushing him away to friends again...

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

I think we could parallel play just fine, and we'd both be happiest that way. I enjoy a silent room, as do they. We can just exist within the same room not interacting at all very happily.

F) What do you feel when you think of your OC(pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

I FEEL BAD LMAO so I made Taomesin, initially, to be my one commander with no trauma. Just having a nice time.

-looks at their plot-

UH OH TAO!!!

[mystery-salad]

YIPEEEE FOX ASK GAMES AGAIN

3, 4, 11, 13 for falke, joel n signe my beloveds :3c (would love to send more numbers but don't want to overwhelm you!!)

Quasi-ooc oc questions

This would be such a wild squad omg

3. What's the silliest nickname they were given? Is it in-story or just how you call them?

This is a hard one because I don't really give my ocs nicknames unless it's extremely plot relevant! I tend to use full first names at all times with my ocs lol, and these three haven't come upon situations where I'd give them nicknames that stick. The closest I've come here is that Signe had a long period where they had no name at all, rather than having a nickname, due to their time with the witch.

4. Do they have allergies, intolerances, weird reactions or dislikes so strong they might as well be any of the above? Are they also yours?

FALKE doesn't like meat! Hates the taste and texture, sticks to a vegetarian diet. (Couldn't be further from me if I tried lmao.)

JOEL will eat just about anything, but isn't a fan of overly-sweet desserts. Too sweet becomes overpowering and it'd eat one or two bites max at that point. (This one is rooted in me a bit, I'm not that extreme but I do need something to cut sweetness often)

SIGNE is allergic to onions so has to be really careful with cooked foods. They prefer to make their own meals or have them made by trusted friends only. (Not connected to me at all, rip signe)

11. What would their worst/most hilariously bad crackship be? Why?

FALKE / Faolain, it would be so fun and toxic but would NEVER reasonably happen at all. My god they'd tear each other apart lmaoooooooo

JOEL / Anise, they'd end up with one of them dead 100% or would be a comedy of trying to kill each other until only one is left standing.

SIGNE / Svanir, no clue how it'd even happen but if anyone can make Svanir regret a decision it'd be Signe lol

13. How would they feel about you (their creator)?

FALKE would have a hell of a bone to pick with me, holy fuck. I'd be receiving a laundry list of complaints and grievances!!!! I'd be so dead

JOEL would hate me, and would hold me at knifepoint to undo everything that happened in HoT, sorry bby 🙏

SIGNE would also hate me, but I think I'd get lucky in the way that they'd avoid me like the plague so I could survive this one!
