All of F, O, I, R, and E for Ffoirre :3 @mystery-salad
hey, thanks for the ask! :)
F
1) what do they do for fun?
he spends time with the fern hounds or goes out for a drink with Efalynn when they can. I also think Ffoirre would really enjoy cross stitch or crochet (some kind of fibre art) if he ever tried it. not that he would though; he wants to improve his reputation but he still wants to be at least a bit intimidating
2) what is their ideal party?
one that he doesn't need to go to? or something small with just his close friends
3) who would they have the most fun with?
obviously he has the best time with Efalynn because she's the only one of my OCs that Ffoirre knows, and they do get on really well. but I also think he'd enjoy fighting things with Thora, and Sasha and Krett would get him to lighten up just a little
4) can they have fun while conforming to rules?
he can, but sometimes it can get a bit boring. he was a Courtier after all, even if he's trying to put that behind him
5) do they go out a lot?
not really. usually either Ffoirre or Efalynn is busy, and he dislikes getting recognised as one of the Nightmare Court, which happens pretty often whenever he goes out
O
1) are they optimistic or pessimistic?
definitely pessimistic
2) are they openly optimistic pessimistic, throwing it on others?
yep. he has a pretty cynical view of the world and rarely sees the point in keeping it to himself
3) are they good at giving advice?
occasionally. if he lets himself be a little less cynical for a bit, Ffoirre gives surprisingly good romantic advice for someone whose most romantic relationship was a one sided crush on Gavin
4) is there anyone in their life that throws optimism on them?
Efalynn -- it's one of the main reasons why they're friends
5) were they always optimistic pessimistic?
yes, but not nearly as much as he is now
I
1) what is their sexuality?
Ffoirre is arospec gay
2) have they ever questioned their sexuality?
not really, sexuality isn't really important to sylvari and honestly he had bigger things to worry about. he's secure in his attraction to men and doesn't feel like he needs to think about things further
3) have they ever questioned their gender?
same as above honestly
4) would/was their family be ok with them being LGBT?
yeah, since sylvari have such a chill view on it (although he doesn't really consider them family. also fwiw none of my OCs will ever face discrimination/hate for being LGBT, it's not something I want in my version of Tyria)
5) how long would/did it take for them to come out?
it would take Ffoirre a while to come out to anyone new, since he needs to build up a good relationship with them first which is uh. Difficult for him. but he doesn't make a big deal out of it at all, it's probably just dropped into conversation casually when he's comfortable enough to talk about romance
R
1) do they follow rules?
he works for the Pact as part of his "rehabilitation" so yes, he has to. but like in F4, he's not always happy about it, especially if he thinks the rules or orders he's been given are stupid
2) would they be a strict or laid-back parent?
Ffoirre does not want kids, but if he had them he'd be pretty laid-back. he felt like the Pale Tree put a lot of pressure on all the young saplings, including himself, which is what pushed him to join the Nightmare, so he would be very worried about making his kids feel the same way
3) have they ever faced consequences for breaking a rule?
Efalynn actually helped the Wardens in Caledon Forest arrest him once when he was still an active Courtier. it didn't last long
4) have they broken any rules they now regret breaking?
he regrets joining the Court, if that counts. (but not entirely)
5) do they find any rules they/others follow absolutely ridiculous?
some of the conditions Ffoirre has to follow to work with the Pact are very frustrating for him. for example, he's not allowed to take night watch, and he gets very little privacy to stop him "planning things". he's not going to plan anything, he genuinely wants to make reparations, but it's incredibly irritating when they treat him more like a prisoner
E
1) does the way they do things portray their internal personality?
sort of? like I say below (see E5) Ffoirre sometimes acts like more of a dick than he really is, and he also makes an effort to Do The Right Thing (occasionally). but typically he doesn't like playing nice. (rarely though he is genuinely kind, especially to dogs, but You Did Not See That)
2) do they do things that conform to the norm?
from the standpoint of a Pact Soldier, mostly? he does the same work as everyone else, minus a few smll differences (see R5). but a lot of the time he'd rather do what he wants than follow the crowd
3) do they follow trends or do their own thing?
he absolutely does his own thing. his reputation is important to him, but not nearly so important that he'd change the way he dresses or the things he does in his free time, for example
4) are they up to date on internet fads?
obviously the internet isn't a thing in Tyria, but there's still trends and celebrity culture. Ffoirre doesn't bother keeping up with most of them, he thinks it's all a waste of time, but he does like to keep up with the ridiculous rumours people will spread about The Commander, just to tease Efalynn about them
5) do they portray their personality intentionally or let people figure it our own their own?
I think Ffoirre slightly exaggerates the less pleasant parts of his personality, especially when he's in a bad mood. he doesn't like a lot of people, and sometimes when they're so sure he's an asshole, it feels easier to play to their expectations than change their minds. but mostly he lets people figure it own on their own, they can come to their own conclusions.
