Yuuki has a fair amount of friends, getting closer with Thancred wasn't as surprising as he thought but *wow* does it do nothing for the rumor that he has a giant soft spot for Hyurs. (It's not just them, he swears! It's non-Viera!!)
Does/did your WOL/OC have feelings for any NPC character(s)? If so, did they do anything about it like develop a relationship? If not, who became their closest friend? Who /can't/ they stand? Could be from MSQ or side content!

Hi everyone! o/ Would your OC hug someone in distress if they knew that person wanted/needed it? That could be a mourning parent/orphan, grieving spouse, etc but only someone met in passing -- no named figures and no political gains here!
Or would they be unable to, and why?

My silly non-WoL/sometimes WoL takes everything wrong, because she's silly and young. My goofy Raen girl, Kiki, lets her imagination run wild with everything.
Yuuki, my exiled Viera, takes the forced dinner with Aymeric very poorly, well-intended though it may have been. >
I had this thought while considering my WoL's reaction to big story moments:
Has your WoL(OC) taken another character's words the wrong way or misinterpreted their meaning? Did it affect their feelings toward that character? Did the misunderstanding ever get cleared up?

He's Viera. It took time. He was too used to having it drilled in that there is no help, it is just you, and if you are not enough then you die and another will replace you. If he hadn't been a Warder, it may have been less of a hurdle. He used to be better at it.
What was a time your character needed to reach out to others to accomplish their goals? How did they feel about not having the power to do it all themselves?

The easy answer would be the injury that just about took Yuuki's arm off at the shoulder, and ultimately resulted in amputation. That one was difficult, as was the injury around his neck, and both left him with differing disabilities -- one obvious limb loss, the other >>
What is the worst injury your WoL/OC has ever had? Were they able to recover, or did it prove life-changing for them?

Brainless answer: nothing but himself, which includes his regular prosthetic, because in a world where you have Ancients with huge fountains of aether who snap things into being, why would an item like that even be a thing over fixing the base damage or returning to the star?
Your WoL/OC can bring a single object from the present day with them to Elpis, to show to the people of the Ancient world. What do they bring with them and why?
If they could take one item back with them, what would it be?

Life got rough, so I'm here to indulge an old curiosity!
So! Other characters are shown to have the Echo. Arenvald, Ysayle, etc.
Are there some backstory moments from your character that an(other) Echo bearer might witness? Character story beat mixing bowl, let's go ♥

A for ALL IN THAT BELLY, B for BETTER GET IN THAT BELLY, C for C U THERE IN THE BELLY
and D for DEFINITELY WENT IN THAT BELLY.
Yes. Not because it was fun (it was for me though!) but because it was dangerous and better him maybe dying than someone else. Right? RIGHT

When your WoL, or OC that went alongside the WoL, went into the World of Darkness, did they get go into the belly?

Very flexible, total sonars! I feel that my Viera had to spend time learning how to avoid their ears betraying their emotions too obviously. Sometimes, they still will, in moments of weakness or when overwhelmed.
.
for my fellow viera; how do you handle ears? personally i made aurora’s ears flexible in lore! she purposefully droops her ears to make her seem more docile/harmless in the hopes people just pay her no mind lol
she actually inherited this from her mother, who does the opposite LMFAO

For Kit, it is Magitek lab settings. He is from occupied Dalmasca and has a negative association with it as a whole. Normally not much of a fighter, he becomes very reckless and "fight or flight" about it when that is involved, if he doesn't freeze entirely.

I can't actually take credit here as I having testing completed when we discussed this, so ALL CREDIT TO @valnaini.bsky.social FOR THESE. She's brilliant! I was too agitated at medical testing to think of any.
Most characters you interact with in FF14 have an epithet of some kind, like Aymeric the Blue or Yugiri Mistwalker. what would be your WOL/OCs epithet that others speak with respect or whisper in awe or fear?

Short answer, Merlwyb and Aymeric for Yuuki. Fran starts out very negative as well, more than shown, but they come to an understanding of sorts. (Sorry Fran, love you as a player, it's the exiled Viera getting extra hackles up at each other...)
And Monetarists. Generally.

Someone said it on the main post, but seconding red mage X'ruhn Tia. Not only is he connected with the Scions already via training Alisaie, his quests go hard on choice and valor, and the importance of using power you have to do good for people who need it.
I adore him! ♥

Player part first: Yuuki was not even meant to be a thing at all! He was a copied alt to follow a friend to Dynamis while she hunted for housing. Then whoops, he became my main character and my previous main also underwent some cosmetic changes.
How has your oc changed over time of the expansions? (Hair, eye color, personality, mannerisms, etc.) Are they aware of these change(s)?

I'll do this twice for two WoLxWoL ships! Because I do love to talk about this. Featuring art, probably!

"Yuuki loves to cuddle and actually loves hugs! He is good at making himself very compact and fitting into cuddles of all sorts, when permitted. He is soothed by the sound of his cuddle-partner's heart, then he knows they're alive and protected by him." ♥

Yuuki has several nicknames! Some are unflattering, others are unwanted, some are okay.
"Yuuki" at all was a nickname given to him that he has gone with as a name, because it is a nicer one.

Yuuki will rub at some of the scars on the back/sides of his neck, or clutch his left shoulder (whether wearing the prosthetic or not). He will look around for exits and hiding places as a learned habit.
Sometimes his nose will twitch (Viera).

Yuuki really ought to be used to being alone, so he will verbalize as much and say it is fine. And it is, but if at all possible, he is totally going to make sure his partner has all the supplies that could conceivably be needed, and then check again, and ask again...
Ame finds it peaceful at first since he likes being alone - but as time grows, he starts to miss his big ball of fluff, finding comfort in smelling & sleeping in his clothes 🥹
but he’d never tell him 😌

I had to think about this one for a while. For one of my alts, I have to retool some of this one because his story already involves a bodyswap he's stuck with, a second one would really mess him up badly. More on that later maybe!
No matter who, it is a shock. Horrifying.
In From the Cold.
How did your WoL handle it? Did they do anything in particular afterwards - to process it, to make them feel more in control, to reassure themselves? Was it a serious shock to the system, or something they could walk off?
I'm massively curious. Indulge me?

I have a couple of them. One is with my RL partner's character, Luna, who is described as "a guy with a heart of gold and reasonably nice abs."
Luna's the kind of guy who likes to be part of a sentence someone says. He does not play as often as I do but this is one verse!
