WAYFARER MC ASK MEME

Building OCs can be tough. Here are some questions to help you get started on developing your wayfarer! I’ll consider making another of these after a few more updates. Enjoy!

What’s their name and nickname? Did you go with the default name or a custom name? Why?

How does their background inform their current worldview?

What’s their appearance like?

Do they have any tattoos? Which one(s)? If they differ from the ones available in the character creator, what are they?

Who was their mentor? How do they feel about them at this point in their life?

How would you describe their personality?

What are their skill strengths and weaknesses? Have you used that to influence their personality?

What sort of mementos/souvenirs would they give to a friend as a parting gift?

What do they think of the massacre of most of the Wayfarer Order at the Spire?

How did they feel about leaving their home as a child to join the Order? Has that view changed now that they’re an adult?

What song (or songs, if you have no self-control like me) makes you think of your wayfarer?

Do they think romantic relationships fit into their lifestyle?

How do they feel about magic?

What would they be doing if they weren’t a wayfarer? (Or what do they do if they’re a companion OC?)

What types of clothing do they like to wear? Do they dress differently for specific occasions (formal, festive, traveling gear, casual, etc)? Do they care about fashion at all?

4, 7, 9 for Pasha 😌 - @ladamebrunette

4. Do they have any tattoos? Which one(s)? If they differ from the ones available in the character creator, what are they?

Pasha has the 'Sea Dragon' tattoo on her left arm, it differs from the one available since it's a giant squid! I chose this because of Pasha's nickname being 'Squid'. She always loved the nickname and eventually decided she wanted to have it on her body forever. It's always been such an important endearing nickname to her, as she was given it by Aeran and her past partner Raia.

7. What are their skill strengths and weaknesses? Have you used that to influence their personality?

Pasha's strength is strength (12 by the end of ep2), and weakness is persuasion (6 by the end of ep 2). I have both influenced her personality quite a bit. In most situations, Pasha tends to act before thinking, using her body over her brain. She has difficulty communicating verbally and tends to rely heavily on physical queues and expressions of emotion. That is a part of why she started expressing any sort of positive leaning emotion through hugging when she was little.

9. What do they think of the massacre of most of the Wayfarer Order at the Spire?

oh, it's angst time. She is devastated by it. When it happened, she was completely and utterly destroyed emotionally. Months earlier she had lost her partner Raia, and now she believed that she had lost her entire family. She completely shut down and nearly let her life be taken in battle and mercenary work on a few occasions. The massacre is something that Pasha thinks about frequently with the belief that she destroys all that she touches.

I think about them a totally normal amount. Definitely not every 10 minutes.
