Why did you chose the race you did for your wol(oc)? were there others that you had in mind?

i tried not to make another elf named rune. played my lalafell clementine for like an hour. logged out and made rune lol. i just like elezen

clementine before they got yeeted

rune and lumi are just what happens when you split clementine

i keep forgetting to post my responses to wol/oc questions over here OTL so here’s a little hoard of elf facts

Compare your height to your wol/oc’s!!!

rune is short tall. lumi is tall short . together none of us are tall lol

rune is shorter than elezen min height. lumi is taller than max lala. i’m me sized.

first drawing and most recent!

rune was very briefly a pink witch before going tits out cowboy at an alarmingly speed (shit actually i need to draw more cowboy)

i will always find it funny how fast i also went from drawing like steven universe and cute magical girls to “i will now only draw my scrunkly as shit elf. they are literally the only thing i want to draw” and i’ve learned so much from that lol

i think it was literally like a month between cute witch and fantasia thoughts fffkfflff (that art is from like june, so here’s a more recent one cause i love comparisons :D )

for those with wols/ocs that have names that don’t follow their race’s naming conventions: why did you choose that name?

rune is an alias they chose to avoid being tracked after leaving sharlayan, only to later find out no one had enough interest in their research to warrant finding them :| but they liked it so it stuck

they do have a proper elezen name but i keep changing it cause i’m indecisive, but also they’d only use rune around most people anyways so it’s fine fffff someone says they’re good at inscribing runes one time and they make it their whole thing

ooc reason is cause i name all my game characters some variant of rune aren after my first skyrim character so i don’t spend 6 hours on the character create screen and i didn’t think i’d like playing enough to worry about a lore compliant name OTL

#wolqotd player question — are you younger or older than your WoL and did any thought go into their age?

I had rune around 30, then I mathed a bunch figuring out how long it took jannequinard and leveva to learn astromancy, and serendipity goldsmithing, how old they’d be at the sharlayan exodus, and how long it’d take to become an archon…to end up at 30 again OTL

oh I’m gonna be rune age next year fghffgfffgf

Lumi is 32 and had a similar thing but figuring out how old she’d have to be to have a red mage stone, and training in a bunch of fields. I’ve been thinking she should be a little older though…

Other than you wol(oc)’s current hair color, what color would they dye it?

rune naturally has greyish brown hair, they get the top bleached, this is an excuse for me to show them with their hair grown out lol

I’ve tried them with yellow before which worked surprisingly well, they’d try any colour as long as it keeps the two-tone

what does your wol/oc think about archon loaf? are they from sharlayan? was 5.3 the first time they tried it?

rune is sharlyan. unfortunately. they love it. even after leaving they still eat it when they wanna work instead of make real food. eating a proper meal will make them sob with how nice it tastes, then later they’re back to eating the stupid loaf again.

their mum grew up near gridania and makes a somewhat nicer version without the fish. it still has most of the uh- qualities of a traditional archon loaf though

if you win they’ll give you a cool rock

sometimes you just gotta put your azem in the asphodelos gear

for science

i should doodle like this more often, been ages forgot how fun it is

archon loaf is an acquired taste

little af revenge with iche for @icicleteeth 💚

got stuck listening to the ojamajo doremi ost while drawing kid rune, gotta draw them as a little witch
