Just an Au Ra boy,
Living in the lonely Steppe.
He took the Limsa boat going anywhere.

Amateur GPoser making my way through Eorzea on a new character with my boyfriend. Lots of NSFW and wolqotd stuff.
I'm gonna be traveling the next several days and unmodded, so no since I won't be able to take new poses (and forgot to get my really cute one with Xen and his not-yet-boyfriend), I'm gonna do some reposts of earlier gposes the next few days. Cause I still like them. Even if baby gposer.

Xen loves to sing.

Xen is not going to ever be paid for it. XD

#wolqotd | #wolquestion

The big trend of Voice Claims is awesome, I love it.
But is your WOL a musician?
Do they sing?
Do they have a sound/band claim or a singing voice claim you'd compare them to?

Xen's first class is Arcanist, and I imagine him really playing with SMN in ways the game doesn't.

Tank: Something like FFXVI where he half-primes, gaining endurance/elemental attacks.
DPS: he summons primals like a "normal" SMN.
Healer: Who needs fairies and SCH when phoenix?

#wolqotd However many jobs your WoL/OC has, which three would be their go-to as an all-rounder trust companion?
December 2, 2025 at 4:59 AM
Xen being canonically as strong as a lala is wrecking me. XD I also wasn't expecting Raen to be premiere healers? Okay. I'd probably switch the Dex to Mind, the Mind to Int, and let the Int go to Dex. He's a tad more dexterous than average, but definitely relies on his brain first.

In case you're like me and completely forgot about it, xiv races have their own starting attributes (that completely don't matter).

Does your WoL/OC fit to their assigned stats with their personality/main Job choice? Or did they end up completely different from this imposed stereotype?

Not intentionally, but both Ariel and Xen’s had to do with sex.

Xen was abused by his uncle on trading trips to Reunion until they were caught by the Buduga who killed his uncle/“kidnapped” him. His life among them wasn’t perfect; he was a kid and not a warrior. But they never abused him.

#XenAOTD
#finalfanasyxiv heres a #wolqotd to really make you think! whats the worst thing youve done to your WoL when making their lore (either past or during MSQ)? mine is either having Bulqedar having to spend 10+ years in the first waiting for everyone else or the “Turn Left Bulqedar” anomaly lol

Xen: Ariel's viera (wanted since I saw the HW concept). Male Au Ra was the race I liked the second most (one of my favorite body types), but struggled with face 2 hiding eyes in cutscenes (but hot, thanks Begter). 1 angry and 4... special. 3 took some work (eye shadow), but I love my Xen.

what made you choose the race(s) you play?

"Tonight you are going to learn my favorite position, 'sir.' It lets me get deep... deep into you. You have permission to scream and call my name... 'sir.'"

The night was supposed to be Xen in charge, but he fell apart on that when Rhux started on his ass. And oh did he scream his name...

Don’t even need to update it. Just release it exactly as it is on the Switch (I know, wrong console so never gonna happen), and I’ll go nuts with it all over again. I literally just bought it off eBay for my boyfriend’s PS2 in the hopes I can maybe play on his sometime.

Xen has no idea what became of his parents after he was kidnap-rescued by the Buduga. He was only around 6 and has almost no memories of them, so has no idea how he’d even try looking for them if he wanted to.

He’s happy where he is now though. Finding new family.

#XenAOTD
Had a break during my work, so here’s my first #wolqotd

What’s the deal with your WoL’s parents? Are they alive? Dead? Supportive of their adventures? Or are there… daddy/mommy issues? (Dramatic gasp)
November 26, 2025 at 3:41 AM
Chai. It’s not even close.

Though hot cocoa with peppermint is a nice treat during winter months. But one he really only does sparingly. He has to be in the mood.

#XenAOTD
#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion

What's your WoL/OC's favourite beverage?
November 26, 2025 at 3:35 AM
I’m always leery of ships because headcanon land gets *very* aggressive with their ideas and I just can’t with all of it. It’s fine if you wanna massage the lore a little for your story, but stop pushing it on people.

Especially when you went from “massaging” to “basically an OC with NPC’s name.”
#wolqotd How do you feel about other people shipping things with your wolship/OCship of choice? Do you ignore it? Adore it? (Take anything you can get because your character is so minor they barely get anything at all so any content is a blessing?)
November 26, 2025 at 3:24 AM
Something about the way Au Ra kneels is just so defiant.
"You've brought me low now, but I'll see you at my feet before long."

Of course, Xen's not nearly so defiant... usually. Wouldn't normally kneel for people, but if he was brought to it, he ain't gonna show you he's planning your fall.
November 25, 2025 at 4:55 AM
Spiders. Ordinary, small spiders. He starts bargaining with them. “You need to go away because if you get closer I’m gonna panic murder you.” And that’s a problem because he’s paranoid their families will see and get revenge.

Completely irrational, and he knows it, but can’t stop it.

#XenAOTD
#wolqotd

What is your WOL/OC's biggest mundane fear?

I am not talking about something grandiose like "Fear of letting down my friends down" or "fear of hurting the innocent"

but instead stuff like "I am scared of snakes" or "Thunderstorms freak me the fuck out!"

I remember the TMNT and Kirby game on original NES, but Super NES was the first console we really went big on at my house. Lots of Donkey Kong and Super Mario. Then PS/2 with Legend of Legaia. Atari at my aunt’s

And we were PC gamers too. Lots of Diablo 2 lan parties with the whole family.
What's your "Origin Console"?

Most gamers have many favorite systems, but there's always one that basically DEFINES you.

I'm talking about the console that flipped the switch in your mind and turned you into a life-long gamer.

So, which one is it for YOU? 💫
November 22, 2025 at 8:51 PM
Xen doesn’t actually have a search info yet, but Ariel’s is “His life for his friends.” His portrait is him with the Haurchefant shield.

A friend called it peak bottom energy. 😭
#wolqotd

kind of an ooc one but what's your search info in-game right now? is it solely utilitarian? does it tell us something unique about your oc? is it used as a creative space? why did choose the words you did? why did you format it as you did?

i love seeing interesting Search Infos, show me
November 20, 2025 at 4:34 PM
To celebrate all crafter 50 quests done, here's Xen in his crafter glam. He's currently analyzing the properties of a mind-numbingly powerful aphrodisiac.
November 20, 2025 at 7:06 AM
Xen is a Raen that was kidnapped/rescued during a visit to Reunion with his uncle and has been with the Buduga since. However, he was a miserable warrior, which was a poor lot for a tribe of fighters. He mostly served as cook and medic until he met a visiting Arcanist in Reunion.

#XenAOTD 1/2
#wolqotd
For everyone who have OC/WoL who came from Azim Steppe. How was the life like for them? What tribe are they from? Why did they leave Azim Steppe? Do they come back/miss the steppes sometimes?

Deep dives are welcome 🤿
November 18, 2025 at 8:05 PM
That very much depends. Xen doesn’t think of himself as someone people confide in. He has a lot of imposter syndrome in friendships. So if you want him to keep something secret you pretty much have to explicitly tell him, or he’ll assume it’s something that you’re sharing with everyone.

#XenAOTD
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

Is your wol / oc good at keeping secrets for other people?
November 13, 2025 at 6:45 PM
My old main I went in with the understanding that I had joint custody of Ariel with SE. I knew he was friendly and open, but guarded around sex. But I let them help shape him and changed things with their writing. Most notably realizing that he cared more about Haurchefant than I did.

#XenAOTD
#wolqotd

So... how badly would SE write your OC(s) if they were a canon part of the next expac?

Jenlyns wanted to congratulate me on my paladin training and thank me for my help in dealing with the monaterists.

(And apparently show his own dedication to chastity because I accidentally posed his dick into my stomach, so...)
November 13, 2025 at 4:45 AM
Xen leans on the side of predictable. He’s usually reserved and falls into unwritten routines. Among the Buduga, it was easy to find him in his room either a book if he wasn’t doing some chore.

However, he can surprise even himself with spontaneity when a new goal catches his attention.

#XenAOTD
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Is your wol / oc (un)predictable? Have they ever surprised anyone or themselves with being (un)predictable?
November 12, 2025 at 10:13 PM
Depends somewhat I. Task. Assuming it was drop level bad, a hot shower/bath first. Then he retreats to an inn room to play and he orchestration while he reads or scrolls a tomestone.

Or if lucky, his rutmate distracts him.
#XenAOTD
#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew the Four of Swords, a card of rest and recuperation.

How does your character recover after a grueling task?
November 12, 2025 at 3:56 PM
We’ve seen regular, voidsent, and legendary creatures, so…
Animal: Deer. Focuses on powerful kicks and leaps, constantly moving.
Voidsent: Actually a sin eater, Forgiven Apathy. Amps up his magic/durability, but he doesn’t move much.
Legendary: Phoenix. Dies mid fight and comes back. Also fire.
A two part #wolqotd before I go to bed:

For the players: What Beast Souls do you think will be in play in the final tier of the Arcadion raids? I'm betting on there being a behemoth myself. :3c

For the WoLs: If your WoL was an Arcadion fighter, what Beast Soul would they be known for using? >:3
November 12, 2025 at 1:58 AM
OOC: Maybe the blond hair, or the face 3 Au Ra? Glasses? Don’t see many lizards with any of those. Probably not been around or active enough to really have a signature yet.

IC: There aren’t many Au Ra in Eorzea yet, especially Raen. Plus his 9’ tall miqo… friend is frequently nearby.
What do you think your WoL/OCs most recognizable trait is? #WOLQOTD
