i think if it wasnt for plight party somer wouldve taken titania's bargain

it wouldve gone against all her instincts (her tribe mistook moogles for fae, lots of fae lore embedded into her childhood and into her design by me) but she wouldve done it

the chocolate thing was decided bc of chocolate toxicity in cats and i wanted to torture somer lol

no deeper lore other than i thought it was funny. none of my other cats have this allergy

#somerlore

She's allergic to chocolate and has lactose intolerance!

In terms of the lactose intolerance she pretty much ignores it and enjoys whatever (as is common with us...)

Chocolate she avoids it even though it's a really mild allergy, she's never really felt like she misses out though

Does your OC have any food-related problems? Can't eat a certain thing, or has to eat a certain diet?

What does your OC look like to someone with soul sight?

Gray ❀ @softerseas.bsky.social · 1d

she has scale like scarring that looks like a white ink tattoo on her back and hips. they havent faded, and they don't hurt her. she's mostly gotten over it, although she did have a brief moment of panic in the 9th when she realized it could happen again but with lightning

Gray ❀ @softerseas.bsky.social · 1d

#somerlore

somer technically does not absorb lightwarden light but when she is initially in the first she tries to do her normal bard attacks and the general ambient aether of the first being over-aspected towards light gives her scarring.

she was not a fan of it bc it fuckin hurt lmao

juni/ico @aetherflow.bsky.social · 12d

#wolqotd #wolquestion
How did absorbing light-aspected aether from the Sin Eaters affect your WOL/OC during the events of Shadowbringers? Does the effect of light poisoning still linger currently?

#somerlore

PP time travel au where PP has to either kill or protect somer (they are undecided) from becoming the maker of black rose.

none of the timelines work for this to be an actual thing in canon

uhhh unrelated to xiv entirely, i have a ballet au where she's a physiotherapist lol

Solaire @solairelunaire.bsky.social · 8d

#wolquestion #wolqotd
what is the wildest, most unhinged AU / canon divergent scenario, timeline, etc that you’ve put your WoLs or non-WoL OCs into?

Gray ❀ @softerseas.bsky.social · 1d

she has to get over this while she's in the first and she despises it the entire time and tries to keep her distance from the mobs as a reaper the best she can which means she fights like a moron as a reaper and is darting in/out from the enemies

Gray ❀ @softerseas.bsky.social · 1d

#somerlore

she will not get close to the enemies even if it puts her at a disadvantage. she fucking hates being anywhere near what she's fighting, she is a BARD for A REASON

also she cant heal herself in any capacity and has to rely on potions and she never has potions

What's a bad habit your WoL/OC has during a combat situation?

Love the way an awesome collector in Austin had this original framed with the raw edges visible. Always so cool to see how people frame and hang my works.

#somerlore

in PP verse it's her husband seth and her bff fork who are co-wols and i honestly dont know the lore split in my head but we all made it work lol

somer has an echo and a blessing but she is not The WoL

Sunset Tempest @saendra.bsky.social · 3d

#wolqotd

Question for people who headcanon their OCs as not the WoL, but some other adventurer: do you have a headcanon of who the actual WoL is? Is it a friend's OC? Or maybe Meteor himself?
