Ceri

"Does it feel like home?"
"Not really. It feels like it's own thing. Which, I suppose in a way, is a different kind of home."
"Do you miss it?"
"Not really. This feels like a new start."
"Maybe it is."
"I do miss him, though."
"Even if you haven't talked to him in years?"
"I miss him every day."

Reincarantion is a big theme for Ceri's village, hence why care is given to the deceased. Their journey to the afterlife should be comfortable, after all.

A feast is usually prepared after the burial, showcasing the deceased's favorite foods, and stories told to remember them well into the night.

Funerals are celebrations of life for Ceri and her family. The body is washed using the deceased's favorite scents in an herbal bath, then wrapped in linen and adorned with their favorite flowers before burial. "We are born from the earth, and to the earth we return until we're born again."

Faine is probably my least known about OC mostly becasue -I- don't even know much about her. She's being very stubborn about her secrets and personality, and I keep tweaking her background. I -do- know you probably won't ever see her without her mask, though. Gotta work for that.

It happened again

by @asparrowsfall on tumblr Let's take a look at what makes dialogue unique to a character. I'm gonna list these as bullet points first, and then i'll suggest some exercises to explore these aspects of speech. Most important aspects - focus on these first Vocabulary - the words they use. As subset of this: Complexity of words, which can include: Syllable length Likelihood to be used in casual conversation - a character can be very smart and still use very informal language. Cultural touchpoints Culture can include pop culture references - think Tony Stark’s nicknames for everyone, i.e. “Point Break” and “Underoos” How in or out of sync the character is with the story’s setting with regard to both time and place - are they from a different country or era of time than their peers? Important - Check these out if you have time How likely the character is to speak their mind vs. change the subject - this could be for any number of reasons, from fear to duplicity Amount they say / Introvertedness / how reticent they are - This is somewhat related to the above point, but not necessarily, and should be researched from different angles. Subverting a topic is not the same thing as being afraid to talk about it. Different ways of speaking with different characters - this could be a function of story (i.e. how a character who is captured speaks to their captors as opposed to friends) as well as pure Code Switching Deep cuts - Advanced aspects of speech Fluency in the language they are speaking Accents - You do not have to write a character in an accent, i.e. spell the words differently to show the accent, if you don’t want to. It really depends on the piece (usually how light hearted or humorous you want it to be) whether you do or not.

Dialogue analysis exercise Find five (or more, but at least five) representative lines from your character’s canon dialogue. If they don’t speak, don’t have five lines, do the best you can. (I imagine other forms of communications can probably also be analyzed in this way, but I’m gonna focus on dialogue for now.) These are going to be your key phrases. They need to be from canon and they need to be words that really show off who your character is.

1. Say the words out loud. Read them again and again. What do they sound / feel like? 2. What is the average syllable length? How many long words do they use? 3. Do any words jump out at you as archaic? What about modern pop culture references? 4. What is a different way they could have said this? Write some alternate versions of this phrase and figure out WHY the character didn’t say it this way instead. What is the difference between the canon dialogue and the alternative? Try to be as specific as possible. It’s as important to know what they wouldn’t say as what they would. 5. Look up any of the more complex words and find some similar ones, with a similar level of complexity. Use a thesaurus you trust and possibly also Wordnik. If your character doesn’t use ANY complex words, reflect on that. Why? What’s their reason? How does that fit with the rest of their personality? 6. Think of some other characters from other pop culture pieces who speak in a similar way. It doesn’t have to be 100% the same, but if it can help your ear get used to some new-but-different phrases, it’s enough. You’re training your brain to speak like the character. Start to sort phrases they would say from ones they wouldn’t. How do these two characters differ? 7. Now that you have worked thoroughly through your key phrases, start to imagine these lines said in something other than the original context. What if they were said to a different character? WOULD they even be said? What would change? What would happen if your character was scared / hurt / overjoyed / sick? 8. Finally, after all that, write some NEW dialogue for your character, either as practice, or right into your fic draft. Keep using your key phrases as a guide and go back to canon as much as you need to! You can do this!

for you, dear reader: a tumblr post regarding writing existing character voices for fanfic which i've found immensely helpful

My therapist: you tend to pursue damaged people to try and fix them. Me: you do that too cartoon image with words: therapist, listen here you little shit

I got too close to an A rank in La Nocea and got tail slapped to oblivian. It was my first KO and I had to text my friend to make sure it was okay for me to click return because I was so new to any kind of MMO.

I stopped in the middle of MSQ to make this btw #FFXIV

I love you, portrait mode and plain t shirt glam.

A Final Fantasy 14 meme image with four panels. A Roegadyn sits in a dark room on the first panel with a caption "I fear no man". On the second panel the Roegadyn is leaning forward with the caption "But that thing….". On the third panel is a screenshot of a Warrior of Light riding a Yan mount. On the fourth panel a Roegadyn looks shocked with the caption "it scares me".

ffxiv players when they see a yan mount:

I am now running into the same issue in game as I do IRL: What color t shirt do I wear today? I took a bunch of preview pics from the Glamour dresser, I have Ceri looking like she's part of an Old Navy ad 🤣

* The male versions of the Neo Ishgardian tops are so chefs kiss.
* Elezen and Miqo'te hempen camise. The Elezen version is so elegant and Miqo is so versitile. The Midlander version is cute, too.
*Hrothgal starter top.
*Midlander hempen undershirt.
*Female Au Ra and Lalafell starter hands.

All very fair points! I can't say Ceri really has many, if any, straight up enemies, at least when it comes to other player characters. Folks she doesn't really care for, sure, but that doesn't an enemy make.

*shuffles through my rolodex of characters.* What kind of enemy would you like?

01: There is a woman facing you with a confident expression. She has blond hair, messy twin pigtails, a small angel wing coming off the right side of her head, and a devil horn coming off the left. She has a big angel wing coming off the left side of her back, and a devil wing coming off the right. Her right eye is teal and has an 'X' pattern on the pupil, whereas her right eye is indigo and has a circle pattern on the pupil. She wears a pink neckerchief, and a tight sleeveless top that's blue on the top half and dark purple on the bottom. She also has disconnected sleeves, so her shoulders are still visible. She says "HEY!! It's ME, you're OLD OC. Haven't drawn ME in a while, HAVE YA'?" 02: She puts up her hands in front of her, as if you say 'stop it'. She has big, robotic hands. She says "No no, IT'S OKAY! Let's be real, my design is pretty amateurish HAHA" 03: She turns a bit to the side, and adopts a more sympathetic expression, but keeps looking you in the eyes. She says "But I want you to know that I've been there all this time. I've watched you grow. And you've grown SO much." 04: Closeup of her face as her confident expression returns. She tilts her head and gives you a wink. "Proud of ya', kid."
