send me a quality (tallest, most flexible, best legs, most socially inept idgaf) and I’ll give you my top three OCs with that quality.

Real life has hit me like a ton of shit bricks, so I’d love a distraction. My askbox is open, hit me up!

I actually have more than 3 toons. It’s a miracle.

(( Most people don’t know even half my OCs even in any one game – this might get amusing. Specify which game if you care, from LOTRO, WoW, or GW2 (City would be too hard), or “any”. If you don’t specify, I’ll guess by which game I know you from. And sorry, BDO peeps, but I don’t have more than 2 in BDO yet, so this doesn’t work there. ))

Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

(( This one’s complicated to answer – which is good. Adri likes fancy dresses, and wishes she could dress like Lux and Adonya, or at least like Linneia. She has body image issues, though, and doesn’t feel like she can do that. Also, she doesn’t have their status to protect her should she find herself having to find off groping hands, and she’s all too well aware of that.

(( Part of her self-image issue is her size and figure, but a lot of it is the scars she used to have. Now that she doesn’t, she’s getting a bit braver in what she wears – but she also far too often needs armour rather than just clothing. She’s taken to getting sum advanced flexible armour added to her clothing, working with a krewe in Rata Sum, but it’s not as good as what she can hide in her usual leathers, as her current broken shoulder demonstrates.

(( As for rituals surrounding dress, she really doesn’t have any – in part from usually dressing alone with no help, and not having been exposed to the notion of trying to have any rituals. She tries to be sure she looks as good as she can in a hurry, but that’s about it. ))

Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?

(( She’s drawn to histories, and ferreting out the truth from the various shadings and “spin” various writers always have – but she’s proved to be best at learning languages. Combining those is why such an otherwise under-educated twenty-year-old (at the time) got to be a Magister in the Priory despite her lack of earlier formal education. ))

How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?

(( She kept having to hide from the Seraph to avoid getting “restored” to the abusive families that had adopted her, so she had effectively no formal schooling at all, since that mess started when she was not quite seven. She had the barest groundwork for how to read, and that was it. Once she had a reasonably stable place to live, she took to learning quite well, but she has a lot of gaps in her knowledge, and she knows it. She thinks a mix of formal education and self-directed study is probably best. ))

Concept of home and family?

(( She really doesn’t have a good grasp on “family”. It doesn’t help much that her “best” (most exposure) reference is the Larkspurs (sorry, Lux!). The closest she comes to understanding it is to map it to “gang” in her head. She knows that’s not quite right, but it’s all she really knows.

(( “Home” she has a better handle on, in that it’s something she’s had more often than not in the last 3-4 years. It’s people to her, though, and never really a place. ))
