What type of parents would Hermes and Azem be if they were to have kids?
Azem..... while they think they want to be parents (prior to the WOL going back during EDW and the stuff that happens with Hermes) , Azem was with child and ended up miscarrying it before they returned to Elpis
Azem would think they could be good parents for a child, but they.... aren't good with emotions, they want to be a good and kind person but ultimately their lack of understanding makes it where they cannot understand certain things, they're selfish in a way.
Kinda like an absent mother with eternal postpartum depression.... never being able to truly connect with their child....
Hermes at least with how he treats Meteion at least would connect with the child but i think the feelings he would get from azems inability to connect would make it hard on him mentally ....
How do Amelia and Nadir get along? Is there any conflict or friction with them being only half-sisters? What activities do they like to do together?
Hmmm yeah i would say they get along fine, i think the friction between them would mostly be from the sheer difference of their inherited nidhogg, which nadir's is the sources so directly tied to estinien and ennius and not entirely corrupted like how kamuis is inside of Amelia . Very much Amelia brain: but if i was able to eat her nidhogg i can be double nidhogg . :)
Meanwhile Nadir would probably have the rivalry of it instead of wanting to consume for power.
(Though older i have Faust feeling like the inferior one of the 3 because of how Amelia has something that directly is tied to their deceased father(kamui) and Nadir also has something from him too (nidhogg) but Faust has. Nothing to remind him of his dad. )
I think they'd both be foodies, they like eating a lot of different foods from different places and Nadir would let Amelia dress her up cause she doesn't care about fashion (Nadir and Faust would be more close than Amelia and Nadir in that canon)
Which of your OCs/WoLkids are getting stuck in the McDonalds playplace? O.o
Do any of your OCs do their job/class in an unorthodox way? (SMN with sword, PLD without a shield, etc.)
Hmmm... not.... really.. I'm quite boring with how i think about their battle stuff...
Zansei is a combo of DRG, BLM AND SMN and essentially becomes a fucked up version of Bahamut and Nidhogg in his Shard , he uses tattoos to do his summons and spells (which is how Amelia gets that knowledge in the future since she.... inherited his Essence lmao....)
Faust is like a combo pld/drk but doesn't like using a shield....
Noel i think is also similar to kamui where he is now a voidsent but he doesn't use a sycthe or rod for his black Mage stuff.... just uses claws and teeth when he's 'enshrouded'
What do your WoLs do for their partners for Valentine's day?
Ennius is very good at making feasts for people, since aymeric has a sweet tooth ennius makes Aymeric all his fave sweets and teas throughout the day, even making sure someone else is dealing with aymeric's job stuff so he gets a day off (meanwhile Aymeric crying cat png cause he wants to spoil ennius since it's his name day but ennius won't let him)
Hiyoko let's Oboro decide what they do that day and how to do it, even keeping karasu at bay so Oboro can at least have one(1) day of peace with the 3 of them lmao. Karasu is spoiled by hiyoko at all times so he doesn't really feel the need to get spoiled that day lmao
Kamui wants to be spoiled so he'd wait for Zansei to do something for him but offer himself for activities for, zansei
;)
Blair would have a self date to honor Althea..... and probably get Thancred something he'd like.... i think Blair would figure out how to do travel between first and source eventually with yshtola so thancred can see ryne again in person.
Which ocs are morning people, and which ones are night people?
Ohh great question!!
Ennius is morning person because that's what he's used to now but he does prefer night time , he likes to get things out of the way in the morning so he can sleep in a few more hours if he's able to and stay up later
Kamui is a night person, esp after he starts to gain the power he's absorbed
Hiyoko is a morning person!! She likes really early morning though, the solitude of morning
Blair is.... afternoon person but i guess night person, used to being late night at taverns and drinking merry making
Althea is a morning person!!! She would be up training early and doesn't like staying up late, she wants to sleep
Azem, Ananke and Apollo are morning people!! Azem was raised in dark places and so they prefer morning sun
Ananke and Apollo are light oriented so they love the morning
Sóley is an afternoon person! Sleeps in late can party late but prefers the in between hours!!
Noel is a night owl
Would your WoLs or Azems have a favorite movie or book in a modern AU? If so, which?
God this is hard cause....i don't really have like a wide genre of movies or books that aren't to my own appeal....
I think Azem would like romance like pride and prejudice....
God I'm sorry I've been thinking about this for months and i still can't really think of specifics
Hiyoko would like action movies
Ennius and Kamui would like psychological thrillers, horror movies
Noel likes slashers gore, things like hostel and saw
Blair would like romantic comedies
Althea would like romance but action movies... buddy cops...
what are your oc's mtbi types
Are Ennius' kittens picky eaters? Does their father try and force them to have a balanced palette or just eat whatever they prefer?
I don't think they're picky eaters...... when they eat traditional ishgardian meals though, they seem very picky because they're used to ennius making them food (and aymeric adopting other cuisine when it's his turn to cook). When they visit Darcy in Shirogane , they love that food too!!
Its really only ishgardian food they are really against, and of course personal dislikes
Amelia doesn't really like... slimy food. She'll eat it but it's not her first choice! (Ie: oatmeal, grains. It needs to be hard!)
Faust doesn't like certain veggies, but he'll eat them when they're fried or you don't tell him it's in the dish.
What would Faust and Amelia want for their birthday?
Faust is a simple creature from outside his family, he'd want good food and interesting knick knacks, he has ennius' love of learning but like not of useful things like medicinal and alchemy. Essentially imagine him getting into like crafting.....tabletop gaming stuff. He also likes learning about the stuff aymeric does in his political position lmao, so cool souvenirs from other places.
Amelia loves cute things!!! She wants cute clothes that make her look cute, are practical but still cute enough that she gives off royalty vibes! She also likes questionable cute creature things, so plush toys and the like !!
If Hilda expressed that she 100% had deep romantic feelings for Ennius, how would he entertain them? Would he still not think himself as good for her or could he eventually be convinced to make it work? How would Aymeric feel about it?
So to this, honestly the only person who feasibly works in a relationship with aymeric and ennius would be estinien .
Hilda and Leofard have both expressed genuine feelings for him at one point and he shut down Hilda and Leofard for the same reason in canon.
In an au where he wasn't with aymeric at all, or at least cut it off at stormblood, hilda and leofard would be in a relationship with him where they're all okay with it each other so it's mutual on all sides.
A lot of ennius' self doubt for himself stems from stormblood where his mindset of he's not a good person comes from his feelings during that time. He didn't think badly about himself in hvsw because in his mind there was nothing to be sorry about, he was helping people who couldn't be helped even if it was done in a way that wasn't considered morally good.
Stormblood however has him with these mixed messed up emotions about war and the way the political leaders deal with it. With how zenos makes him feel every time they spar and he ultimately gets violated and he okay with that. (The trauma guilt, lots of overdue emotions from his youth there) and how he understands how he essentially trained aymeric to be his and dealing with the repercussions that he made something twisted and ugly inside aymeric .
I've mentioned before that Aymeric isn't really jealous post marriage. He's pretty secure in that regard because he does understand that him and ennius are not... normal. But pre marriage aymeric let a lot of his jealously show/_\
What is something Karasu would do romantically that would actually catch Hiyoko by surprise?
Okay I'm gonna be honest with you. I do not believe these two have a relationship that's normal in the slightest, i think they are like those people who meet up every blue moon and they will always love each other and care for each other, give physical satisfaction but i don't really. Believe they could be romantic. In that sense..? ^^;;;
Hiyoko is very raised by male viera where her relationships are.... not standard
Wait what's the story with Althea and Blair? How are they part of each other?
So you know how Athena and Lahabrea had their soul bond, that's essentially what they did except during the beginning of the end, Apollo had lost her sight because she relied on being able to see (yshtola unable to see during edw with the blasphemy, same thing)
Ananke had to protect both of them to get to Venat , though. Apollo ended up becoming wounded too badly but she wanted to help Ananke survive, so he basically absorbed her into him body and soul and intertwined their souls so tightly.
When the sundering happened, basically they got to split but every shard would always feel empty, like half a person. They were always fated to find each other again however, they were also doomed to never exist together for long. They had to become one to feel complete. (Basically cursed that one of them Will die. No way around it, one of them WILL die and become part of the other. )
Cue in, Blair and Althea. Soulmates and when Althea dies in hvsw, Blair absorbed her and that's how he becomes the WOL and has her as part of him but also his esteem, his aether when his sight is lost in shb , she is so much of him.
That's the bare bones of their lore.
Are any of your OCs good at art (painting, sculpting, music, performing, etc)? Do they do it as a leisure activity or do they deliberately try improve their craft?
They.... are not no.... the closest to that would be,
Ennius- baking and his potion experiments, he can do baked art well and he does it to relax and keep his mind off things. (Those intricate pastries etc) i guess performing is also.....hm.
Azem likes to fiddle with wood carving but they suck at it, they have not been able to do anything worth while with it. Yet they keep trying.
Kamui does things to get better at them in the off chance it helps in the future
Hiyoko likes painting but they are not good with it, very abstract painting
The entire Azem line is good at dancing so i guess performance could be there
Althea! Is good at music!! She loves singing and is very good at it
Blair is also very good at painting, he doesn't do it for fun though.
Who is Blair's best wingman? What's their tactic for helping Blair out?
Okay honestly Blair does not need a wing man, people are so charmed by his pathetic endearment that he can bed most people he goes for. HOWEVER, comma, he can't keep up a relationship, I've said it before but he's not good with keeping up long term.
But if he had to current day, it'd probably be Thancred , even if Thancred is - dead smile- about it, he at least knows that blairs bed partners will not be around long
