OTHO & OSUL!!!!!!!!
November 4, 2026 at 10:22 PM
A not insignificant part of my job behind the bar over the last few months was shutting patrons down with the simple phrase "just say you don't watch women's basketball and shut the fuck up."

OTHO, the number of new WNBA fans I've converted by always having it on TV has been rewarding.

Otho is gnawing on my brain.....
November 1, 2026 at 10:48 PM
Otho is about to watch a knight die (vault time)

I don't often abort a telly movie once I've started, but Justin Theroux's Rory in 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' is a hugely dull overkill trying to create an annoying character. Yawn.
Luckily, I watched the original first. Otho rulez.

Otho would say Nald'thal, (grew up in Ul'dah after all)!but it seems Derek has his eyes on him.....

What's your WoL/OCs patron god and what's their relationship with them?

Galba, Otho, and Vitellius owe their inclusion in this data mostly to Ex Deo's "Year of the Four Emperors" EP from last year: www.metal-archives.com/albums/Ex_De...

I’m currently converting my presentation on late antique Roman emperors in heavy metal that I delivered in Trier earlier this year into a chapter for a conference anthology.

As part of that, I’ve updated my tally of metal songs that mention emperors by name in their lyrics and/or titles.

I'm going to limit my answers to ffxiv songs lol

Otho is definitely singing "Bee my Lovely" & he's going to do the chorography while he's at it.

Poro would probably sing "Scream" or "Twice Stricken", & she's the best singer in the group.

Blue would sing "Flow Together" to make you cry.
Got a #wolqotd for you folks:

What’s your WoL/OC’s go-to karaoke song?

Antje Bosselmann-Ruickbie helped me determine that the Constantine referenced in Tursisas' song "The Great Escape" is in fact Constantine IX Monomachus. So I updated the chart, & decided to add the two songs about the empress Irene, since she ruled in her own right.

I really did think how this scenario was going to go lorewise for Otho since my other WoLs had very different reactions

(One couldn't stop him from dying despite trying everything to stop him from entering the vault, the other raising him from the dead in a way that wasn't supposed to be possible)
Otho is about to watch a knight die (vault time)
November 1, 2026 at 6:27 PM
But Otho is just a literal meat shield, he has nothing else going for him

He really wouldn't be able to stop him since he is weak in all aspects but one.

GOT: Medusa!

I love this fig. Like, tied with Otho II in my “favorite things Four Horseman has ever done” love. It hits 90% of my wish list for a definitive Medusa and I can’t imagine ANYONE hitting more of that list.

She’s just.. right.

Macaria was adopted at a young age, and while she loved her adopted family dearly her biological father wasn't exactly welcome....

He was a VERY busy fellow, and I'm afraid that estrangement gets worse when it comes to Otho.
#wolqotd #wolquestion sort of, more for the players

do any of y'alls AZEM have family they're close to? grandparents, parents, siblings, kids, grandkids? please show/tell me 🙏🏻💖

Otho does not have a title over his head! (It's on purpose)

Poro has "Lady of the Fetch", cuz dog jokes

Blue has no title as her name "The Blue Recluse" is her title

And [REDACTED] would have "The Fae-touched" For the fact that's exactly what happened to them.
🌠 #WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion 🌠

What's your WoL/OC's current title over their head?

Can be canon lore or "honorific"

Tell us about the story behind why you chose that title.
October 29, 2026 at 12:53 PM
Otho:
Sturdy.

Poro:
You feel the static in the air. You feel energized.

Blue:
You feel cold air in your throat. It's bitter yet soothing.

[REDACTED]:
There's a pain threatening to rip out of your chest. Something feels wrong.
#wolqotd assign your oc a cryptic buff/debuff/status. either personal or party wide when they join a group. shit like “the winds push you forward”, “trees want your blood” or like. “sunlight feels kinder” vague. odd. have fun w it

It's always this one Slack Wyrm comic. It lives there rent free.

"I'm upset. I'm going for angry walkies!"
"Coyotes came and said hello to me, angry walkies ruined!"

Otho being the voice of the Mayor from Nightmare Before of Christmas was a fun Burton connection to make even decades after initial watches of those movies

This is no different than when reporters post clips of pols speaking. Recording politics for posterity is why CSPAN exists. Broadcasting is not the same as promoting like OAN or FOX do with commentary. Is the rhetoric awful and racist? 💯 Otho, shouldn’t his constituents and other Americans have a

Otho has a weird relationship with Thancred and it's entirely Lahabreas fault

Poro isn't a big fan of Urianger, but it's because she struggles to understand what he's saying, and his fibbing makes her upset.
#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion

Is there a Scion that your WoL/oc has a rough relationship with?
I’m not talking about they outright hate them or think they’re annoying; I mean a Scion they were friends with or loved that they are now uneasy with or reserved with because of bad history between them.
October 28, 2026 at 5:51 AM
Otho is someone with a strong fear of learning what his origin was, after living in Ul'dah all his life.

The moment he does learn where he came from and what for...

He would want to bury his head in the sand, but as the WoL, there's no escape.

He did end up as a soldier, just not a very good one
November 2, 2026 at 2:56 AM
Otho would out of sheer luck

Blue is the slasher monster

Poro depends, if it's in her prime shed wipe the floor, her modern era wouldn't though because she'd try to fight the monster and lose

And [REDACTED] is a survivor with a very bittersweet ending, because their lore IS a horror story
Would your original character survive a horror movie?

Otho is designed to be comically bad at everything but surviving. It's a miracle he's the WoL but the scions are working with it anyhow.

Blue is extremely reliant on her magic to do everything, so shes no-good at handicrafts/cooking. She'd accidentally burn your house down boiling water.
#WOLQOTD:

Is there something your wol is comically bad at, despite their many talents?
Cooking? Cleaning? Doing their taxes? Flirting? Hitting reprisal?
