For Etiole! What places has she not been to that she would like to see?
It’s a little tough to say!! She’s traveled a lot with how I’ve written her story but I think she would def want to be able to explore Ilsabard a lot more. Considering it’s home to the FFXIV of FF12’s Ivalice it’s the one place I really would want her to see the rich history of. That and I’m a absolute sucker for anything Ivalice. ❤️
what's etoile's comfort food?
Definitely stew’s!! It’s the one meal she can always go back to when she really wants something to make her feel comfortable and happy. Her father learned to make it when she grew up in Ishgard and it’s always something she’ll give to the people she cares about a lot as a pick me up meal or during the winter!
Has RP ever reached to where Etoile confronts Vilhelm about sending her blueprints to the Empire?
In terms of RP not but with her one character development yes!! It’s discovered first hints of it happening during the start of Stormblood but it doesn’t come ahead until Bozja. She recognizes a LOT of design and augmentation used on the magitek machinery. When she’s captured during Bozja that’s when the truth is finally let out because she’s forced to help with the Diabolos allagan wepaon before she’s properly rescued.
She confronts her father about it later who only has the best intentions for her but when she found out she was captured and almost lost her life because of him, a lot of his own direction changed. He became more closed off those sadly but things are repaired when her father does come and help with the contingent to Garlemlad.
Their relationship with one another is strained after Bozja and it’s hard for her to really trust her father more after that. The trust isn’t renewed until Garlemald MSQ. It still is going to be a long process before she’s filled healed after knowing her own designs were used to kill people on the battlefield..
I don't hear about Semil as often... What kind of relationship did he have with Vassa, and how'd he feel about her falling? Can you tell us his having dominion over earth?
I haven’t gotten the chance to work on Semil since his first draft! I think it’s because I was still in the stages of working out a rough idea for him.
Semil was very loving of Sitael before her fall. He encouraged her to seek humanity and to understand those he held dominion over. For him, he believed that understanding humanity could allow an Angel to be able to integrate among them. He supported the Watchers but..
The Nephilim incident caused an immense rift between him and the Watchers. Due to having dominion over earth, he is forced to follow the decisions of Metatron and the Sefirot. He must /always/ remain neutral. In an RP I’d done, Vassa had fragmented memories of when numerous watchers begged for her to reach out to Semil to try and convince Metatron otherwise for punishing them. He felt pained over the choice of her damnation. He allowed sway to have her memories fragmented of her time on earth instead of having her sent into the abyss when she was damned.
Holding dominion over the earth, he is privy to the history of events that unfold across the world from the other angels. He reports back to Metatron of any angels that stray off their course of fate. Sadly, it was by him that he reported the Nephilim incident. Remaining neutral meant he cannot intervene by the decisions of Metatron from his reports of events that unfolded by angels..
How different is Vassa/Etoile's personality between verses (Tartarus/Soulsborne/FFXIV)?
I never got to properly explain this so I’m excited to share it. In a way, they’re the same character but Vassa is AU’d into different games I play. Originally, she was just Etoile AU’d into everything but I wanted to have her separated from games for my own OC work.
Tartarus: Despite the funny drawings I do with Vassa, she’s a lot more reserved and calm. She has immense love in her heart but she takes her duty very serious. She has more of a sadness to her than the others due to missing humanity.
Soulsborne: Based more along how she is in Tartarus for Dark Souls. She’s a bit more adventurous/cautious in the world she inhabits. For Bloodborne, she’s based more on Etoile. A lot more impulsive but aggressive in this verse.
FFXIV: The original base, it’s changed a lot! For Etoile, she’s full of adventure and love. She loves delving into things and acts with her heart before her head. She’s a lot more enthusiastic than her counterparts. Crius, her ancient self is based more around Vassa’s personality before she became a fallen Angel. That would be Sitael, who was quieter.
She’s a very dear character to me who I’ve had for 8 years. ❤️
