Happy Winter!

For Xarian:

face: Describe your OC's face. What's their smile like? Are their orbs cerulean? What would someone notice first when looking at them?

stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?

Thank you so much for the Ask, @clairelsonao3!

(From the OC Character Design Ask Game)

face: Describe your OC's face. What's their smile like? Are their orbs cerulean? What would someone notice first when looking at them?

Xarian has a thin and angular face, pale but tanned, slightly sharp, though there are dark circles under his eyes. His bright hazel eyes are mysterious, the tell-tale sign of someone trying not to give away anything about himself, except when he is looking at Lorelai, the love of his life - then his cold eyes turn warm, filled with endless devotion.

He is rather handsome, and he knows it. Xarian has different smiles, for different situations, usually a sly smirk or a quick taken-aback chuckle, but his genuine smile is unique - soft and radiant, truly joyful, a rare glimpse of the person he used to be, once.

The first thing someone would notice about Xarian, especially if under the right lighting, is that his hair has a slight metallic glint to it, making the curls atop of his head genuinely look like an actual mix of real silver and copper. This is due to the kind of faery he is, and his changeling nature.

stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?

Xarian is thin and lanky, though muscular, and is a rather tall person. His clothing is usually meant for practicality, as Xarian doesn't really care about how he looks as long as he is moderately put together, though his leather boots make him look slightly taller than he already is.

motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, or clumsy?

Xarian moves stealthily, extremely coordinated. He is the kind of person that no one notices when he enters the room due to how quiet he is unless he wants to be noticed, and he is also very flexible and fast when he needs to be. As mentioned before, his clothes are meant to be practical, which includes allowing him a free range of motion and freedom, he dislikes clothes that make him feel trapped or uncomfortable.

OC vs. Cockroach

Tagged by @mysticstarlightduck here! I had to do this one right away because it was too funny to imagine and I need a break from writing…

Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach

For the Tomb of Light cast:

Hettie: 9/10 Hettie loves bugs and little crawly creatures (snails are her fave thing ever). She has seen a lot of roaches in her life and while she doesn’t mind them, she recognizes they are pests. Lavender is a natural insect repellent and she would have plenty of that on hand to harmlessly deter them from coming back.

Oliver: 0/10 Hates nature, hates bugs. He has spent the majority of his life indoors and doesn’t like things that live outside. Including people. He would see the roach and scream for dear life until it was removed from sight.

Adrin: 10/10 He spent his childhood outdoors being bitten and swarmed by everything nearby. He thought it was hilarious to sneak roaches and spiders into his house to scare his mother. He would help Oliver out, mostly to shut him up, but also because he doesn’t mind touching them.

Mara: ??? She knows a good source of protein when she sees one.

Rules: Rate your OCs on how well they’d fare against a cockroach

I'll go with the main cast of Enchanted Illusions for this one!

Cailean Telkerly - 4/10 Once he sees the roach, he'd try to look tough and unbothered to seem cool in front of Agatha at first all like "I can handle this (says he, visibly disturbed and from a considerable distance)". Like, he might - emphasis on might - actually get the situation under control if he can smack the roach with a broom or something from far away.

But then he would fail miserably at it once that mfer roach starts to fly - like the fear is evident, it's a run-for-your-life. He'd leave that room so fast. I give him those 4 out of 10 points solely because he would try to keep it cool before the roach flies. My boi would be jumpier than a cat in the rain like "Nah, man, hell nope, I think this is the bug's house now, let's just move".

Evangeline Daemitya - 10/10, I'm talking about the most nonchalant, cold reaction ever - solely for the fact that, with her magic, she can disintegrate that bug or teleport it away with a snap of her fingers. It surprises people to no end, because they usually expect her to be terrified of bugs due to her noble background but she actually doesn't mind them - she even has one of those weird dead insect collections.

Vincent Sharppe - 8/10 He is the kind of guy to pick the insect up in a jar or piece of paper and set it free far away outside of his home without saying a word, but whose soul would leave his body should the insect touch his skin or start flying around - he'd still spend a week complaining about it either way.

Harriet Sharppe - -2/10 She actually has a deep phobia of insects, so it doesn't go well whenever she sees one in her home, especially if it is a roach. Harriet can handle any kind of monster and dark magic spell thrown her way, but would have a full-on nervous breakdown if she saw a roach in her room, no one runs faster than her in that situation. She won't enter the room until the cockroach is properly terminated (and she has proof of it), which ends up being Vincent's job, because she will not get close to the insect on her own.

Clarence Van Sterlling - 6/10 Would attempt to become friends with a roach. There's a 50% chance that he'll suceed, and a 50% chance the roach will just scuttle away further into the room and never be seen again. Will be heartbroken - for five minutes - when Thaddeus inevitably stomps the cockroach until oblivion.

Thaddeus Lockhill - 11/10 It's as if he senses the roach's presence before it even has the chance to think about flying away. Then it's over. There's no roach, only its squished remains on the floor - which are quickly cleaned up. Thaddeus carries on afterwards like nothing ever happened. This all takes place in a total of ten seconds.
