Erien is in a similar boat. She was sure Haurchefant would be the love of her life; if soulmates were real, either she’s lost hers or their relationship was just a stepping stone to her “destined” one. She isn’t a fan of either idea, and respects what they had even as she moves on.

No - while Q’linn has found the love of his life, he refutes the idea that anything but their own choices led them there.

He has recently discovered that Azem and the Ancient of one of his friends were lovers, which is having consequences in the present, but still stands firm to his beliefs.

If you ship your WoL/OC, do they believe in soulmates? And has this belief been affected by their dating history?

(You also have permission to gush about your ship if you think it’s relevant/want an excuse to gush)

Erien is pretty much their polar opposite; with a love for heavy blades and fire magic, she’ll charge into the fray and make sure all eyes are on her. Combat is a thrill, and she loves making a show of it. While more than smart enough to plan ahead, thinking on the fly is simply more fun.

Trained first as thieves, a fight with Q’linn or Nozari is all about feint and misdirection. Flash bombs and smoke, setting traps, whatever’s around them being as much a weapon as any gun, knife or gadget. But just as often, Q’linn will have a well-placed diversion to avoid a fight entirely.

#WoLQotD Fighting Style!!

How does your WoL fight?! Are they confident, brazen, and tactful? What if clumsy, and left footed? Do they use the environment to their advantage or let their emotions carry them through a fight?!

It’s honestly kinda wild that this guy has equivalent station to Raubahn and Eynaahr for how much those guys get.

But I see you, Mr Kan-e’s Husband Sena. I understand you.

Q’linn is 1, Nozari is 2 and Erien is 4

Which one is your WoL? #wolqotd

Q’linn Tia @tekkguy.bsky.social · 5d

Filling out the quiz as Q’linn online lands him with Shinx as one option, and an Electric-type cat feels massively appropriate!

For a partner I’d go with Meowth - they’d be the most reminiscent of Q’linn’s sister Nozari, his first partner in crime.

Uh oh! That portal to "The 13th" didn't take you to a flooded shard filled with darkness, but rather... It took you into the world of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!!

So, after taking the personality quiz via the echo, which pokemon did your WoL/muse become? Same for their partner as well!

Q’linn Tia @tekkguy.bsky.social · 8d

While I still call him Q’linn Tia here and in-game, his legal name has been Q’linn Terrestris since his wedding just after 6.5!

Khasar Kha is Sage'ing @amanziotterxiv.etheirys.social · 8d

#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion

Does your WoL/OC have a name that differs from your character name? For instance, in game, the character is Amanzi Otter, but the WoL himself is named Khasar Kha!

Q’linn Tia @tekkguy.bsky.social · 8d

Q’linn embodies everything I love about steampunk/early industrial aesthetics mixing with fantasy, artificers as an archetype and the idea of tackling any problem with grit, creativity and human ingenuity.

Soup!🕯️ @fraughtbroth.bsky.social · 8d

#wolqotd This is more a question for you as their writer, but what is your OC a love letter to? What kinds of media, themes, etc inspired your OC?

Q’linn Tia @tekkguy.bsky.social · 9d

Q’linn is one of four active WoLs, Erien is a “B-team Scion” (a la Hoary Boulder, Couktenet etc.) who dips in and out of MSQ, and Nozari is Q’linn’s adoptive sister who has a mostly secondary role up until Dawntrail.

✨ #wolqotd ✨
question for the players: is the character you play your WoL or rather a seperate OC with their own journey and story?

Q’linn Tia @tekkguy.bsky.social · 9d

I honestly spent a long time ironing out what Q’linn’s personality was outside of “craftsman,” and while I have a much better image now I do still need to make an effort to flesh him out in aspects unrelated to his jobs.

Here's a #wolqotd:

We all love well thought out, deep lore, but do y'all have any parts of your WoL/OC that aren't as well-developed or that you're constantly undecided on?

you ever just love your oc?
you ever just sit and ponder on the possibilities?
you ever just invest your soul into the art you make of them?
you ever just sigh and seek peace that you made them JUST for you?

Post-EW where the WoL is itching to go out on another adventure. Q’linn is very happily retired at that point, getting dragged into events there and in DT by circumstance.

Not to say there’s no room for that spark to re-ignite later on…

Mo @ the Wandering Stairs 💫 @themoyouknow.etheirys.social · 14d

#wolqotd Has there ever been a stand out moment in game where there was something said/assumption made to your wol/oc that is fitting to the base the wol should be that was just laughably wrong? Not just “they wouldn’t say that” but “you would NEVER say that about them”

For Erien, while training as a Red Mage she's learned to manipulate all six elements to a degree but has the best affinity for fire. In addition to all the flame she summons appearing purple, she can release it in bursts to "jet" around the place - fast dashes, but not full-on flight.

Q’linn Tia @tekkguy.bsky.social · 16d

Going through MSQ I've HCed a ton of gadgets Q'linn's been building on top of MCH gear: flash powder bombs, a grappling hook, low-gravity boots for more agility.

One of my favourites is the shards of his anima's soulstone he puts in most of his machina and vehicles to let them freely "body hop."

#wolquestion // #wolqotd

Does your WoL/OC have a spell/ability crafted all their own? Do they use it merely for combat or for other purposes of life?

Q’linn Tia @tekkguy.bsky.social · 16d

I'm still trying to nail down a good voice claim for Q'linn, but even before I ported her to FFXIV I've had Sully from Fire Emblem (Bennett Abara) as the canon voice for Erien in my mind.

Sully, a Cavalier unit from Fire Emblem: Awakening, voiced by Bennett Abara in the English dub.

Q’linn is generally an optimistic person, which is probably helped by his standards being quite low - all his relationships before his current wife were fleeting, and growing up homeless he’s used to making the best out of very little. Some of those habits are hard to break even now.

#wolquestion / #wolqotd

Does your wol / oc have high standards or low standards? (For anything! Relationships, food, living accommodations, etc).

Erien: "Oh wow, I remember this one - first day at the Studium. It was about a month after we left Dravania so I was, what, fourteen? Sharlayan felt like a whole different world. But it was the first step to the wise, *dashing* Archon you see before you."

An aged photograph of a fourteen-year-old Erien, her short wavy hair traded for long bangs with purple underlights. She's wearing a black coat common among students at the Studium, smiling as she poses for the camera with quill to page.

robotic appendages. With Ryne’s aid, the man inside was able to focus the Light into the Lightwarden’s left eye for it to be cut out and turn him back - an injury that persisted, along with shadow-blindness in the right. The skin of the now empty socket is like porcelain, flecked with gold.
