It is both their greatest passion in life *and* their day-job.
what is your OC's relationship with violence like?

is it something they happily indulge in, i.e. combat as a sport (or plain cruelty i guess)? is it a tool like any other to them? is it only acceptable when justified, i.e. to defend others? is it fundamentally wrong, no matter the cause?

Pinning the object of their affection against the wall, describing (in flowery, poetic language and husky tone) the sort of erotic fantasies they plan to enact with their chosen paramour. Followed usually by some variant of “You’re welcome to walk away, should it so please you,” just for propriety.

How does your wol(oc) flirt?
October 20, 2025 at 1:52 AM
Out of town. They are dead. They do not get along, on account of WoL being the reason the parents are dead. They try not to think about it. They think about it a lot and get mad for a minute and then forget again. (But secretly still mad about the whole “cliff toss” incident.)
#wolqotd Inspired by a question about children, let's flip the script a bit: We've heard of second-generation heroes, now tell me about your WoL's non-WoL parents! Where are they from, what do they do, how does your WoL get along or remember them?

The sense of innocence and wonder lost after a betrayal from their parent at an extremely early age. Nothing says “had to grow up fast” like being thrown off a cliff Mufasa-style on your fifth birthday (before being given a name, no less) and then spending decades plotting revenge afterward.
#wolqotd Today my tarot deck gave me the Six of Cups: a card of childhood, innocence, and nostalgia for simpler times.

What's one thing that your WoL wishes they could bring back from their childhood? Is it a memory? A friend? An experience? How would they approach it now?
September 30, 2025 at 10:50 PM
31 - they didn’t keep track of things like namedays until coming to Eorzea though
How old is your WoL? Shizuka is 30!
September 30, 2025 at 10:46 PM
The thing about people who take “you can’t do that” as suggestion instead of a hard rule? They tend to get into places they ostensibly shouldn’t be able to. How? Because.
#WoLQOTD
this, despite the tag, is a non-WoL question.

if your character is non-WoL or has a non-WoL verse, what areas in the game do they have access to? what areas would they be unable to access due to their story or their lack of WoL notoriety?

Who says it hasn’t happened already?
#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion

There's a particular scene in Endwalker and specifically a dungeon called Vanaspati.

There's a family there with the mother.

If that happened to your WoL/OCs Family or Loved ones.

What would they do?
September 25, 2025 at 2:10 PM
Everyone who has ever loved them or called them friend
#wolqotd who’s writing this about your wol (or, alternatively, who is your wol writing this about)
September 24, 2025 at 12:48 AM
Be prepared for life advice you didn’t want or ask for, but probably needed. Lots of photos bragging up their partners and their accomplishments, but surprisingly little of the WoL themself. Occasional memes, and a dedicated thread for the gamers in the group who want to unwind with easy-mode raids.
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

What would a group chat be like with your wol / oc?
September 23, 2025 at 11:34 PM
Allow them to self-destruct, and take advantage of their failure if at all possible - bagging the mark/bounty/objective after the adventuring group in question had distracted or worn down the opposition.
WOLQOTD

Lets say there is an arrogant group of adventurers/hunters that do not recognize your WoL, aren't taking thier advice and are pursuing a course your WoL thinks is a bad idea, and are prepared to go in w/o them, likely in over thier head.

What's your WoL's reaction?
September 23, 2025 at 11:31 PM
Probably just finding things in common - there’s an immense amount of attraction, but not a lot in the way of mutual hobbies, outside of some overlapping social circles. Even that much can be hard to pull off due to differing schedules (i.e. chasing a bounty target to a different continent.)
#wolqotd Another one for ships! What’s the biggest hurdle they’ve overcome in their relationship? Have they struggled to make things work even after becoming an established couple, or was the buildup more challenging for them? Have they ever had a major fight?
September 23, 2025 at 2:17 AM
“You cannot be loved if you cannot be feared. Fear of disappointment, betrayal, dismissal; fear of laying bare one’s soul at its most sensitive, rawest places to one that you are terrified of being seen badly by… and being found wanting. I ask how you can call it love without the fear of losing it?”
#wolqotd If your WoL/OC had to choose, would they rather be loved or feared?
September 23, 2025 at 12:26 AM
Absolutely - in the appropriate context. To the point that the idea of pacifism is morally repugnant and selfish. Being raised in a culture that purposefully makes its home in an inhospitable snowscape populated by building-sized megafauna, *everyone* learns to fight for the clan. No exceptions.
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

Is your wol / oc considered ‘violent’? How often do they resort to violence or physical confrontations?
September 23, 2025 at 12:18 AM
They probably play WoW. They tried Paladin once, but couldn’t get past the 2.0 slow burn and didn’t want to spend money on a boost.
Hey #wolqotd gang let's get uncomfortably meta!

If your WoL played FFXIV which job would they main? The same as they are in "real life" or not?
September 17, 2025 at 7:50 AM
“If neither blade nor arrow finds my heart, I will live on. I will live on past the time when your friends, family, and everyone you ever have or ever will meet has long-since faded into the dust of history, and then I will live longer still. I have made peace with your death.”
A rare moment of me asking a #wolqotd instead of answering, based on my own musings about a certain fic idea:

Your WoL/OC is offered immortality. No catch, no hidden downside, they can live forever, unaging and untouched by time if they choose to.

Do they? Could they bear it?

Headset on, can of energy drinks, Eorzean Hot Pockets. It’s Friday night and they’re playing Realm of Battlecraft until asses go numb and they’re all out of food.
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

What are some activities your wol / oc likes doing with their partner(s)?
September 16, 2025 at 7:42 PM
September 16, 2025 at 7:39 PM
A lot of my people are just taking a break from the game while waiting on the inevitable replacement to crop up. The general vibe is pretty bad, though - Dawntrail was already controversial in its own right, and many people are looking to other games that are more relaxed on this stuff.
#wolqotd but for the (role)players-

it's been a while since mare got axed. how has this affected your roleplay, if it has at all? have you noticed changes in your general writing circle?
September 16, 2025 at 2:49 PM
They’ve relaxed a bit - the first twenty five years of their life was spent utterly consumed by vengeance and heartbreak. The stoicism and harsh, Machiavellian pragmatism are still there, but now they can at least relax and sleep at night without taking substances to force it. And smile sometimes.
September 16, 2025 at 2:40 PM
Roegadyn names typically involve using the same-sex parent’s name as a surname. WoL uses her father’s name, not out of affection for him or negativity towards her mother, but because she wanted to take *his* name in recompense for the one he denied *her* when she was disowned as a child
#wolqotd | #wolquestion | #ffxiv

Been a while, and I remembered a thing actually

Does your WOL/OC have an unusual name for their race/in general?
Is it for lore reasons, or just for shits and giggles?
September 16, 2025 at 1:52 AM
Probably not at first, but respect will develop after realization that Kirby is an unholy abomination of death and consumption that isn’t harmless, but rather chooses to be peaceful until provoked. His pacifistic tendencies are weird but anyone with that much self control is at least tolerable
// #wolquestion #wolqotd

watched failboat’s reaction to air riders SO: would your wol/oc WILLINGLY be Kirby’s friend?

not would they be his friend, because Kirby WILL be your friend, even if you’ve hurt him in the past

would they WILLINGLY befriend him, just for the sake of friendship?

Cool thing about being a Druid is being able to talk to animals. Dinosaurs presumably count, so there is a world where mWoL ends up befriending and riding around on a T-rex while panicked security tries to get them down.
Yes I had a dream about dinosaurs-

The perpetrators are apprehended and frog-marched to the sink to help with the dishes, and then allowed to go about their business afterwards. Resistance is met with the “Spinebreaker” wedgie technique until compliance is given.
your WoL/OC walks into their kitchen and sees this.

what are they doing?
