#AsteriaDupont🧵
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 for fear of being singled out by locals, Asteria bathed naked when Hancock asked him to joined for some hotsprings back in StB.

It didn't end well and he only spent five seconds in his nameday suit before he shyly don a fullbody towel.
Your WoL/OC is visiting the Bokaisen Hot Springs in Kugane. Are they going with the local customs or are they being a bit more tourist?

#AsteriaDupont 🧵Oh boy... He's a hopeless romantic inside and outside. He had many flings and relationships before but none survive even for a month.

In ARR he swore to improve himself, maybe it's him that's why he can't find his soulmate. (+)

(I don't have enough photos of him in S9)

Occupation: Bookshop owner, retired hunter

#AsteriaDupont 🧵 was thinking since I'm leveling a meele, there's big chance Asteria got picked up. Asteria is used in social norms and being asked for dance is just normal for him but in battle? He's rather shy and hopes he doesn't messed up. The elezen also feels aloof from the experience

#AsteriaDupont 🧵confused but trying to give reason in his mind why someone yelled at him so not escalating the situation. As kid his father never raised his voice nor become angry at him. I guess Asteria doesn't know what to do when someone was angry at him so he just 🧍
#wolquestion #wolqotd
How does your wol(oc) handle someone yelling at them?

#AsteriaDupont 🧵 updated the old one a bit. I think I'm missing something or so
March 19, 2025 at 2:11 AM
#AsteriaDupont🧵 Father Dupont now lives in Tailfeather after he and Kunsel travel back to Eorzea in search of Asteria knowing his son will eventually find himself in the place.

In DT he still lives there as a chocobo groom and occasionally visit Anyx Trine

Kunsel is nowhere to be seen

#AsteriaDupont 🧵 19 which is the same age after he left Lavender Beds to pursue his life long dream of seeing the world and meeting people of legends. He found himself in Old Sharlayan when a certain miqo'te art professor helped him get a gleaner job under Ameliance's research group.
#wolqotd

How old was your WoL/OC when they started their adventuring life, if they have one?
May 12, 2025 at 5:17 AM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 I had WHM in mind for Asteria partially because I like to write a male healer in FF where majority are Fem! Also because I love FFII Minwu so I don't know what's in store when I played as healer

WHM is okay, my "safe" class but (+)
#wolqotd idk if this has been asked before but! have you ever picked up a class in game just because it would fit your wol/oc's narrative better? do you like playing that class or absolutely hate it?

#AsteriaDupont 🧵 the piano.
A feat he secretly proud of, as he learned to play it in less than a day to impress someone who caught his eye back in his Gleaner day.

I think he would enjoy playing it again, this time with Scions (Old gpose)
October 3, 2025 at 12:16 PM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 Just shove it aside and continue his wol duties

Which just make something inside of him grow (now called and acknowledged as Esteem) more powerful and manifested in DRK questline.

He never grieve and so Estie get the end of the stick
#WoLQOTD !! How does your WoL deal with grief.

Are they someone who holds to the last bits of memories they have of that person?

Are they the one to let go and keep going?

Or would they burn the world just to deal with the grief?

Or they are just so done with it, they just ignore it?
May 30, 2025 at 2:21 AM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 he is! But he work super hard to be very attractive before and even dying his hair to a shade of color that makes his eyes pop out and wear light makeup including gray lipstick. He's just an average looking elezen without all that
#WoLQOTD | #WoLQuestions
Everyone talks about how handsome their WoLs are, but how attractive are they in canon?
May 28, 2025 at 1:01 AM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵

He finds himself attractive, but because he worked hard procuring the makeup and clothes/gears for himself. Also he spent hours grooming his hair and making himself presentable

But he did come into terms he's a plain looking elezen behind all that
Does your WoL consider themself attractive? Why or why not?

(Not if they are attractive, but what do they think?)

#AsteriaDupont 🧵 answering here because it's an amusing idea.

Asteria doesn't "go to the couch" he goes batman, for example, on Tuliyollal if he and Koana fought. Whole night he's wandering around the city thinking of their fight.

He easily forgives his SO so in morning if they're sorry (+)
Tikt0k gave me an idea so

#wolqotd your WoL/OC has a quarrel with their SO and have been sentenced to sleep on the couch. How do they react
June 16, 2025 at 7:52 AM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 As much as I can don't want to change Asteria's hair because I want to be consistent but due to story telling I let it slide. Although I want to be consistent now
(ARR - StB - Half of ShB - EW and DT)
August 26, 2025 at 1:58 PM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 hmmm... I tend to just let everything happened in the story whether I like it or not. I think the most crucial stuffs I changed is WHM questline not happening in his canon as he's a Devout, White Mage equivalent of 14 from the start.

Lanzones, a padjal have the jobstone (+)
#Wolqotd

Do you have a piece of canon lore that you changed immediately for your WoL’s story without any question? Something that you just went “Nope!! That’s not happening!”
February 23, 2025 at 3:49 PM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵In a nutshell
WHM
-In Asteria's canon he is a Devout/DVT. The First's ver of White Mage. Taught by Vii Minwu Mysidia when he was younger. Instead of borrowing from nature he uses his own aether to heal instead

DRK
-His grieving period. Also returned his jobstone to Sidurgu (+)
#wolquestion #wolqotd
What is the lore to the job(s) your wol(oc) knows?
June 5, 2025 at 4:55 AM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 He just stayed for a single day in Backrooms before continuing the Echoes of Vana'diel raids. This may also start the #StarrySovereignty route where Kam got the Prishe treatment (just getting knocked unconsciously) but that's a different story I'll tell someday
oh now that embargo is up I can ask my #wolqotd !

What did your wol get up to during the "several weeks" they spent hanging out in the backrooms? (nsfw responses ok but pls be sure to label appropriately!)

(adding the #7.3spoilers tag for anyone who still needs)

#AsteriaDupont 🧵

Silver hair + blue eyes *cough*
But honestly I don't think Asteria have a preference in anyone's hair nor eye color

For me...errr I think blonde guys, eyecolor prob red 🙂
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

We all have our preferences.
Favorite hair + eye color combination. The combination that leaves you staring a little too long or swooning a little too hard.

What is yours, player?
What is yours, OC?

#AsteriaDupont 🧵
Already talked before but Asteria got his name from a Chronicler's Alias in her travels and is very inspired by it without knowing it's his Azem

tbh if I can go back in time, Astraeus fits him more but Asteria sound nice already and it got stuck

(I sadly don't roleplay as of now)
kind of a niche one, but-

1) if your wol(oc) has a "non-lore-compliant" name, what's the story behind it?

2) have you ever thought about changing it?

optional:
3) if you're also a roleplayer, does your OC go by that name or by a different name?

#wolqotd

#AsteriaDupont 🧵 canonwise he's single af and you won't hear the end of it when he's drunk and laments how being a wol didn't even have him getting laid. But the author's hc? Oh he's taken in every AU :3c

But his crush on Gilgamesh is canon but the relationship as the game presents... he's single
Is your OC single or taken? 💌

#AsteriaDupont 🧵 He's sticking to Wuk Lamat! He's likely out of the four claimants that would get along initially. He wanted the one he become "mentor" of to grow and learn in front of his eyes.

I have an OC who I wrote is the Second Promise's "answer" to Team Wuk Lamat having a gleaner
March 5, 2025 at 3:21 PM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 Romanticism, the romantic love kind. He does everything for his crush. However cringey it is for a 41 years old elezen

#LanzonesSiduri 🧵 Outcast Padjal who's has appearance of a 30 year old man instead

#Asteriaa 🧵Hero Worship on the Archduke. Enough said
#wolqotd

What is your WoL/OC's "One Unique Thing"? It can be anything from a backstory quirk, a quirk in how you write them, special power they have, or even where they are from.

An example I have on hand is that Pyxis is from a different star.
September 18, 2025 at 4:58 PM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵Original inspo for Asteria is that I taken the most handsome fictional man for me and remade him in FFXIV idk what happened in the middle because he is his own character now apparently 4 years later

His name also is from a Fate series OC I had
This #WoLQOTD is for the players themselves!

What's a neat fact about your WoL/OC's creation process? For example, were they changed significantly from their original version? Or were they created as a gag? Are they based on a longtime OC of yours? I'm curious how you've made your characters!
April 10, 2025 at 12:22 AM
#AsteriaDupont 🧵 for platonically, he smiles more and may joke at times. Best example is he started being friendly with Estinien after the two shared a drunken night at Kugane over some squid the dragoon hunted for two of the. His posture is relaxed and some wrinkles on his face fades making one (+)
