I dunno, I feel like anyone who does any kind of creative work with an established NPC will inevitably do at least a little OC-ification of them in the process. And that’s a good thing, as far as I’m concerned! That’s what the “transformative” in “transformative work” means!

Little ficlet I wrote a few years ago for Starlight - a stolen moment between Aymeric and the WoL during the holiday season.

you will never let go, you will never be satiated. you will be damaged and scarred, you will continue to hunger.

Thy Life is a riddle, to bear rapture and sorrow
To listen, to suffer, to entrust unto tomorrow
In one fleeting moment, from the Land doth life flow
Yet in one fleeting moment, for anew it doth grow
In the same fleeting moment
Thou must live
Die
And know

I will even yap more about this and say: OCfy your ship. Give them different clothes, a different hair now and then. Add details that make them more connected to your writing. If they get injured give them a scar. Something as small as an earring with symbolism. Go ham on it.

She has a traditional Gelmorran name; "Thorne" is technically a nickname that she's taken on to be fully known by. Gelmorran names are kept secret, and only those very close to the individual are given the privilege.

At this point, Aymeric is the only other person alive who knows it. #ThorneLore
#wolqotd This is the first time I've tried it.

Did you have another name for your wol? It could be a nickname or another origin ?

(Erenville, which has a different name in Tural).

They're dead. When the Calamity struck, the shockwaves penetrated deep into the earth, fracturing the ancient structures of their underground world. Not long after, a battle with the dragons above shattered those foundations entirely. The city collapsed, with everyone trapped inside. #ThorneLore
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)
