*slides closer and whispers* Do tell friend. O v O

most of these are just concepts atm so -

Gabriel Poldark (male noble necro) - He’s a teen with absent yet controlling parents (think Victorian parents if you will) who eventually runs away to see the world for himself and find his own purpose in life. I was thinking that maybe his parents have a reward posted for his return which would cause bounty hunters or opportunists to be on his tail (unbeknownst to him). Gabriel had a lonely childhood and his only friends were really the ghosts around the manor, which sparked his interest in necromancy and death at a young age. I can totally see him being awkward with people and coming across as a snooty asshole when in truth he just really doesn’t know how to talk to people ; w ; He’s been in my head for a while so I’ve had some time to flesh him out! 

Sylvari necro (I really like the name Oz for him for some reason!) - He’s connected to my mesmer Odair. I was thinking that maybe they awoke around the same time and befriended one other or met not long after. They become close friends and decide to travel and explore the world together. Somehow some kind of corruption begins happens to Oz and it eventually makes the two drift apart because Odair can’t figure out what’s going on. (I feel like their personalities would also kind of contribute? Like Oz is extremely reserved and quiet, while Odair’s hella extroverted). I really gotta look up some lore haha

Fem Asura enginner/Sylvari thief- I’m thinking that these two are in a group of bandits or probably treasure hunters? I like the idea of opportunists looking for a way to get rich quick haha. I can already see the Asura being The Master of Sass and liking to pull pranks on people with her gadgets and stuff and the sylvari being suave as shit B). I’m still working on em tho!

For the ask thing: 12, 32, and 36 all three for Zara, Bryce, and Eloise! (Unless that's waaaay too many questions)

Thank you for the Ask!

Uncommon Questions for OCs and their creators

12.How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?

Eloise is a necromancer. A very Dignified old Lich. She would absolutely squirm like a worm for a solid two minutes trying to reach it before giving up and summoning the ghost in her dagger to please itch it for her. Anton gets a real kick out of this dance every time.  Oh so Dignified. 

Zara on the other hand, is inventive. And nothing is more situationally perfect that taping a fork to a stick or any other long thing that can be put over her shoulder and hoping for the best. Thankfully someone stopped her before she tried to have the “long thing” slot filled with a sword. 

Bryce has the most simple answer to an itch he cannot reach. And that is find a tree. Use the Tree. Itch Gone. Smart Ranger.

32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?

Eloise does not. A remnant of her very meek childhood and well… most of her 283 years. If forced into small talk then, she’s probably just drag Dana or Ledni over to start it because “I spend too much time in the catacombs to know the weather to talk about the weather and im pretty sure no one wants to hear about the time Oberon hid in a coffin and then jumped out and scared me.” Now she just. Stands in awkward silence or listens. 

Zara has one for fellow order of whispers members/engineers/family members. Once while working on the security system in the chantry she accidentally triggered the alarm. Suddenly finding herself suspended from the air via a bunch of retractable cloth restraints. She was there for about an hour before Xekken found her and cut her down. It’s her favorite fuck up to laugh about

Bryce isn’t one for small talks, and given an option conversations at all. But he has told Zara one story a couple of times. Mostly about how he left the priory. Which to him was “with a startling lack of fanfare” or its comparison to how he left the nightmare court “without a bang” 

36. Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?

Eloise hasn’t sought it in years. Finding it only twice in her long life and sure that that is her allotment. Probably doesn’t help that both times it was taken from her very very quickly and violently, with only ghosts remaining. Sometimes literally. If some was to come her way.... she’d be cautiously optimistic and probably hard stop oblivious. 

Zara is a lover of stories when not absolutely consumed by vengeance and or the desire to build a really really good sword. So I’d say she’d seek it. Try to find a legendary love, like those stories of old heros and their families. 

Bryce isn’t for seeking something that he for so long believed was nothing more than a civilized lie. Though. It has found him.

*scoots into your ask with a chair* So I'm curious, and I might have just not found the answer, how did Zara lose her eye? If she did in fact lose it. (Also sorry for an ask out of the blue ^^; I just really like your characters and have been reading about them.)

  Thank you so much for taking interest in them! I absolutely love talking about them!

I’ll preface this with a tldr because i think i went a bit overboard: Zara lost her eye fighting Balthazar at the Kodash Bazaar

   Zara lost her eye  in the fight with Balthazar. Or less specifically on her ill-fated revenge quest against the god of war after one of my mains and my commander Caolan had “the departing” happen. She, instead of waiting or trying to bury him grab her gun and walked into the sunset to attempt to kill a god of war alone. She managed to get pretty far on her own! Her order of whispers training proved very useful in the desolation even if she did lose her hand in a strange incident there shes still not sure she fully remembers (aka I’m waiting to see what anet does with the order of shadows) and Balthazar became simpler and simpler to track. 

  I may have started a bit too far back on her time line, but eh, anyway. While fighting Balthazar at Kodash Bazaar and finding out that friend and allies apparently stopped being dead. She went from revenge mode to must protect friends mode. Which is her normal mode but with more fire and swords. Caolan gets downed, Zara rushes over with her shield/the door she says is a shield to protect him and gets absolutely decimated by Balthazar. Knocked to the floor and taking a a big ol spikey gauntlet to the eye in the process. 

 Which is a massive ouch, and she hasn’t exactly had the time to get use to not having that eye. But hey, who needs depths perception when you have a lightsaber.

💪 and ❄ - Neala. For the ask thing if you're still doing it. :D

💪 - What is the source of their personal strength?

Literal strength, she works out lol Metaphorical strength, she wants the word to be safe place <3

❄ - What kind of weather do they prefer, and why?

She likes it cold and snowy, because she grew up in the Shiverpeaks. She feels most comfortable in cold weather.

lionsocks replied to your photoset “honestly? what a babe ”

It's definitely darker than your other edits of him but I like the vibe that this one gives off. And I can still see the details of his outfit. The only the that's not super noticeable is the weapon on his left side but honestly? It still looks really really good. ��

my inner perfectionist is crying rn 

but thanks! now i know which monitor to go by haha 

i’ll keep it up since it’s still somewhat visible ; w ;

Tell me about the good boy Victos and his flaws

as far as everyday flaws…he uh. his overly-emotional attitude can cause problems esp with people who are also kinda hot-tempered. for instance, bc he forgives and forgets rather easily, he can get confused and bitter when people don’t shrug things off as easily as he does, and can get nasty like “i forgave u why can’t u forgive me” and hasn’t really learned that forgiveness isn’t a trade, its a gift.

he alsooooo likes to drink when other people around him are drinking bc it seems fun and its a social event but he has no fucking chill. like one drink and he’s hella annoying and i dont mean like “lol ur drunk stop it” kinda annoying i mean like, needs a full time babysitter, infuriates everyone around him, can’t read social cues for shit, and literally within 5 minutes people are begging someone to physically remove him from the area and prevent him from coming back.
