None of my WOLs smoke, though Lura's husband Nero does. #LuraLore #YsidorLore #ChaLore
#WoLqotd

Does your WoL/OC smoke? And if so, what?

Packs of black market Garlean unfiltereds? Limsan cigars liberated from parts unknown (and fiercely denied)? Homemade clay pipes packed with home grown herbs?

Or maybe something a little stronger from Yanxia or Gridania?

Lura is a midday bird; getting up around 9am suits her.

Ysidor is a night owl, preferring to get up around noon.

Cha gets up whenever she has to; she's not used to the luxury of being able to choose yet.

#LuraLore #YsidorLore #ChaLore
#WoLQotD

Is your WoL/OC an "early bird" (most active during the early morning and midday)

or a "night owl" (most active during the evening and night)?

Ysidor will mourn his Miqo'te partners deeply, but he'll hopefully still have his viera partner to help him through it. I could see Ysidor throwing himself into his work to try not to think about them 24/7, even relocating to Sharlayan to see about becoming a professor of magic there. #YsidorLore
#wolqotd #wolquestion

If your wol outlived their partner either from natural age or from a fatal incident, how would they cope?

This one's especially for you, vieras with non-viera partners
September 29, 2026 at 3:49 PM
Lura now would stop at nothing to find out who this imposter is and why all her people have forgotten her. Lura at the beginning would shrug and go back to wildlife rescue.

Ysidor would travel to Old Sharlayan and enroll at the Studium in hopes to find out what went wrong

#LureLore #YsidorLore
#wolquestion time for something potentially more upsetting; your wol seemingly wakes up in Revenant's Toll, but no one, not even the Scions, recognize them, instead claiming the Midlander Poster Boy is the Warrior of Light. How does your wol deal with the situation, unable to return home?
September 28, 2026 at 9:15 PM
This one is special. @jurayriverdell.bsky.social and I gave Ysidor a reckless partner who keeps nearly getting himself killed spectacularly. Oh M'ayo. #YsidorLore
#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

Lura: LUHR-rah
Ysidor: ISS-ih-door, sometime Ysi (ISS-ee) for short by close friends and family.

#LuraLore #YsidorLore
💖 #WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion 💖

Names!

They're quite interesting and complex, yes?

How would your WoL/OCs name be pronounced?

Is it commonly mispronounced? Are there any shortened versions or nicknames that they don't like?

What about ones they do like?
July 2, 2026 at 2:05 PM
Lura's mother is a retired ambassador and Lura's father is an accomplished craftsman.

Ysidor's mother is a village elder and his father is an adventurer.

#LuraLore #YsidorLore
#wolqotd For those WoLs/OCs with parents and parental figures: What do they do? Are they merchants? Farmers? Nobles? Are they in the military? Or are they adventurers too?

Ysidor freezes the blood in his opponents' veins.

Lura can kill a man with her bare hands when enshrouded as a Reaper.

Cha hasn't learned this about herself yet.

#YsidorLore #LuraLore #ChaLore
What is one of the most terrifying ways your WoL / OC can kill someone?

For Okina, using her favored tactics Wind in combination with Fire to create concentrated combustion, one such way would be for her to remove the oxygen in an opponent’s lungs and then superheat them…before sending it back in.
September 3, 2026 at 2:38 AM
For Ysidor, when he was Ysidora, I designed him with a "hair black as ebony, skin white as snow" Snow White aesthetic.

#YsidorLore
#wolqotd

What was the thought behind picking your wol/oc's hair and eye color combo? What inspired it?
March 1, 2026 at 10:45 PM
Lura is comfortable with gentle PDA. Chaste kisses, handholding, hugs, cuddling. Anything more is something she prefers private.

Ysidor is the same.

#LuraLore #YsidorLore
#wolqotd how is your wol/oc with pda? how much pda would they be comfortable with (witnessing and partaking in)?
July 2, 2026 at 2:24 PM
Ysidor would be like, "Couldn't you have waited and actually made me a man to start with?" but he'd be resigned and invite me in for tea. He'd also thank me, @jurayriverdell.bsky.social , and @java-kitty.bsky.social for his partners. #YsidorLore
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Your wol / oc finds out you are their creator, how are they reacting?
August 21, 2026 at 9:26 PM
Lura bears it gracefully, albeit blushingly, except if she feels she hasn't earned it.

Ysidor blushes and demurs.

My version of Cid confidently says "Thank you" and then tries to compliment the other person.

#LuraLore #YsidorLore #CidLore
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

How does your wol / oc handle praise? Is it something they enjoy, do they feel suffocated, something else?
July 21, 2026 at 10:12 PM
Lura's accent is an odd mix of Hingan, Thavnairian, and Garlean because of her upbringing.

Ysidor's is vaguely Scandinavian, but think more Minnesota than Swedish.

I'm Ysidor. I was misidentified as a girl when I hit puberty, and left my village shortly thereafter. I never learned Viera traditions for men, so I've had to define what being a man is for myself. I barely know my father. I bring chocolate mints. #YsidorLore
September 21, 2026 at 11:15 PM
If they were someone close to Lura, she'd hug them, tell them what a precious friend they are, and explain that she doesn't feel the same. If not, she'd skip the hug.

For Ysidor, he'd kindly explain that his dance card is full, and awkwardly pat them on the back. #LuraLore #YsidorLore
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

How is your wol / oc reacting to someone confessing their love for them when the feeling isn’t mutual?
September 1, 2026 at 7:32 PM
All of my WOLs are truthful about their ages unless they have a good reason not to be. #LuraLore #YsidorLore #ChaLore
#wolqotd

When asked their age, how does your WoL/OC respond? Truthfully? Dodge the question? Lie? Have they been 26 for the last 9 years?
September 11, 2026 at 6:55 PM
This is Tenebrae, Ysidor's Ancient. His name means Darkness, since the title I use for him is "Darkness in the Light." #Tenebrae #YsidorLore Inspired by #AzemAugust
August 25, 2026 at 6:35 PM
Lura is pretty tech savvy. She's not on the same level as Cid or Nero, but she's familiar enough with the technology she's encountered in her journies that she's picked it all up fast. #LuraLore

Ysidor knows a little bit but mostly leaves it to experts. #YsidorLore

Cha is...very young... #ChaLore
#WoLQotD How tech-savvy is your WoL? We're talking Allagan nodes, Solution 9 computer systems, Garlean tech both computer-related and warmachina. Did they, in fact, know how to operate that weather shield on the ship heading to Tural?
September 11, 2026 at 6:58 PM
Lura makes a point of being gentle but firm when she speaks. She developed this when working with wildlife and skittish commonfolk.

Ysidor when speaking of things not about himself is firm and confident, but if it's about himself he may stutter and go quiet.

#LuraLore #YsidorLore
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

Is your wol / oc tactless / careful with what they say / how they say things to others?
June 3, 2025 at 10:12 PM
For Lura, it's Nero. Cid takes great care of her, but Nero understands depression more than Cid does, and he knows how to help her better.

For Ysidor, it's being with his loves, not doing anything in particular besides cuddling. If not that, dancing helps him think.

#LuraLore #YsidorLore
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

What would console your wol / oc if they were not feeling well mentally? Who is best at consoling them if they have anyone?
July 6, 2025 at 6:31 PM
For Lura it's probably her, honestly, and it's sad as hell. Cid and Nero will still have each other, but there will be a Lura-shaped hole in their lives.

Ysidor is a young Viera man in love with two Miqo'te men, so the other two will most likely die first.
#LuraLore #YsidorLore
#wolqotd ✿ #wolquestion

For the ships, who dies first in your lore for your WoL/OC?
June 11, 2025 at 5:09 PM
Lura: Soft, plush, curvy, with muscle underneath the soft. Buffer than she used to be. Thick of body. Her partners adore her form.

Ysidor: Soft over a dancer's body. Lithe, limber, thick-thighed and lovely. Prime cuddler.

#LuraLore #YsidorLore
#Wolquestion | #WolQotd

How would you describe your WoL's (Oc's) body type? And how do they feel about it?
June 18, 2025 at 11:09 PM
Ysidor is very anxious when it comes to matters involving his own self and self worth. He's good at being firm when it comes to protecting others, but protecting himself is very difficult for him. #YsidorLore
#wolqotd What are your WOL/OC/NPC's weaknesses? What makes them not overpowered? What are they bad at? Flaws are part of a well-rounded character, afterall.
