For Kaine it’s DRG/MCH, WHM, DRK
For Aristide it’s SGE/WHM, SMN, DRK

#wolqotd However many jobs your WoL/OC has, which three would be their go-to as an all-rounder trust companion?

I feel a bit flabbergasted atm. I’m largely inactive on Twitter atm, and just got told by someone that they were scammed by another acct who had a similar name. And they reported my account instead, and told everyone they knew to report me. Now I’m getting asked to help them sort their mess out. 1/?

Oh this is very Aristide-x-Emoni, to a T.

It’s a terrible trajectory you’ve set me on. First you make me experience desire, then affection, then love, and now you have me willing to admit to as much in a public setting. Next you’ll have me agreeing to spend the rest of my life with you.

I don’t have mods, so for my own ref a looong while back I threw some freckles on him. But my Aristide is a freckly lad.

HC moment for Aristide:
He’s not a WoL, but has an Echo that’s essentially an overabundance of aether, which helps him as he supports my WoL OC Kaine (and party, etc). His carbuncle is spoiled rotten to begin with, and is the size and floofiness of a main coon due to the extra aether Aristide has XD

Kaine’s go to’s were between Steppe Warrior and House Fortemps Knight which were for him, his current is Knight of Alexandria and is mostly for me cuz IX is my fav.
Aristide’s for the longest was Firstblessed, then Honorary Academic, and is currently Sleepless Scholar, which are all for him.

what in-game title do you use and why? is it canon or not? does it say more about you as the player or your character?

Despite his size, Kaine is surprisingly light on his feet, a 7/10. He can thank his DRG training for that, and his dabblings in MNK. He’s scared the shit out of Aristide before.
Aristide, is probably a 5/10. He isn’t as quiet as he wishes, but can still get around “okay” if he needed to.

How stealthy can your OC be on a scale from 1-10?
1 being as obvious as the sun next to you.
10 being as obvious as finding a needle in outer space.

I won’t be going to FF cuz this year has been one financial blow after the other for me. It is motivating me, however, to finish making some proper stickers and cards for my boys. If anyone would wanna just trade in general in the future.

Kaine is not a big bfast time eater but loved bfast food and making it for others. His ideal bfast is tea and something small. He’s a big lunch eater tho.
Aristide sleeps late if/when he can but he loves any & all bfast carbs. His dav tho is oatmeal, some fruit, and hot tea.

For the longest time it was between Gridania (bc it was my starter city) and Ishgard. Currently my go-to and love wandering around a lot is Old Sharlayan and I teleport to it for most everything and just to chill out.
#wolqotd hopefully this doesn't sound confusing... but what city in the game do you know the layout of like the back of your hand? what's your go-to city you end up teleporting to for inn rooms, market boards, etc?

XIV OCs - Kaine is married to a friend’s WoL Arlyra and they have kids in HC post EW. As for Aristide and his partner Emoni, stay tuned.
Other OCs - only my main pair Matteh and Maverick are married

I started around 5.1ish, and managed to be completely caught up by 5.4-5.5.

I really haven’t changed them too much. For the longest time it was Mor Dhona as my third tho
Gridania: Aristide was born/raised here, and both my boys started here for their respective classes
Ishgard: I just loved HW so much
Old Sharlayan: this is honestly just one of my fav areas to hang out now

Aristide started as a cosplay character of my brother’s OC who doesn’t play anymore. And then I lore’d and strayed so far from the OC and ended up fantasia’ing and name changing and he has become his own OC and I love him so dearly.
#wolqotd #wolquestion
As the creator, is there any significance behind the name you gave to your WOL/OC? What was the thought process like and how did you decide that it was the perfect fit? Is there any additional backstory/lore you included for your character regarding their name?

Kaine was a rehash of an existing OC I had named Kaine Daemon who is a dragonborn OC so Au Ra was the closest thing, and I was so excited to be able to actually do something with him. He eventually became his own alternate Kaine when I fantasia’d from Raen to Xaela and added all his XIV lore.
