Would you mind answering 1, 8, and 14 off the Secret Ask List for my boy, Elenion?
I've also been tossing 30 out for giggles, but it's optional!
of course, ty for the ask! 💖
1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?
...okay so. disclaimer that i've only seen, like, 2 episodes of bridgerton because i had a friend who insisted on having me watch it. i thought it was all right but i never ended up continuing it outside of watching random clips featuring the character i'm about to mention. sooo i have no idea how or why my brain decided this. but elenion sounds like colin bridgerton. here's some clips!
he has voice 1 in-game which is close enough though LOL
8) What hobbies does your OC have? What do they do to unwind?
Elenion is a huge reader! He especially loves to read about history and myths and folklore but he does have a secret soft spot for romance novels.
He takes a little pocket telescope with him everywhere because he loves to stargaze. His best artistic inspiration comes when he’s out by himself under the stars, playing music or journaling—writing songs, sketching constellations, cataloguing the weird little artifacts he’s collected on his travels, or just writing down his thoughts.
He loves fashion and shopping. Partially just for fun and self-expression, but he also treats it like a form of self-care. Though he will not openly admit that splurging on ridiculous luxury items and vintage jewelry helps him cope with life, he'll just make up elaborate reasons for why he Absolutely Needs to buy another fancy jeweled hand mirror or something.
Oh yeah, and he also enjoys theater! He likes watching operas and plays because it scratches every part of his brain at once: the performer who wants to analyze the technical craft, the scholar who's fascinated by how stories reflect the cultures they come from, and the romantic who just wants to get swept up in the emotion a bit.
14) Who's a character your OC cannot stand! It's on sight when they see them!
every time i get a question like this i have to give the same answer and i feel like a volo hate blog at this point i'm sorry 😭 I DON'T EVEN HATE VOLO I THINK HE'S FUNNY... unfortunately elenion is a history nerd who cares about accuracy and honesty and can't stand people pretending to be smarter than they are or lying about important things for clout (kind of silly of him to build his entire career and public persona out of lying to himself and everyone else about who he is and what he wants, but he doesn't consider his own needs important so that doesn't count haha!) so he just thinks volo is a pompous, pretentious, exploitative hack who should've been left at the goblin camp, if only elenion's conscience wasn't telling him he couldn't just leave someone to die. they first met years ago pre-tadpole and elenion has hated him ever since.
30) My OC and your OC are friends. This isn’t a question. I’m not asking. (How do they respond?)
from what i know about coranzan i think he and elenion could get along! they seem to have a lot of similar hobbies and interests, not to mention a similar taste in fashion, and you've mentioned that he's musically included, so they'd be able to bond on a surface level over those things... though elenion might just turn up his nose a little if he knew that coranzan used to act in propaganda pieces because it would hit on some of the things i just said he hates volo for haha. however, unless i've completely misunderstood him, corazan also seems like the kind of person who would be able to get past his walls and force him to admit when something is wrong instead of pretending like he's 200% fine all the time—and that's something that would help elenion warm up to him.
