Which of your OCs do you consider to be least like you, and was that a deliberate effort or more of a natural choice?

I have to say Rama, a deliberate effort more than natural, because they had to be like, the complete opposite of my very own self-inserts. They're very luxurious and indulgent, things I am not and continue to refuse to be.

Are there common elements between your prose and poetry writing? Any things that stick out no matter what form you choose to write in?

I took a long time to answer this because I really had to think.

I tend to use imageries related to nature, particularly rivers, bodies of water, and the beach. Grew up around water and loved playing in water, and so I spent a lot of time contemplating them.

Sometimes it ends up being about flowers.

sweet or savory breakfasts?

Sweet. I’m rich but poor in oxygen.

favorite kind of scene to write?

A deliberate scene… one where I get to go in-depth into a character’s feelings and the motions of their feelings and how it translates into action afterwards.

If you had to assign taste palates to your OCs, what flavours would be most prominent?

Hmmm. Savoury for Ana and Rama, sweet for Megrez and Kina, spicy for Jo and Kaya. Hamza is different. He likes things Stale (doesn’t believe he deserves to enjoy food).

Kina seems like the type to want to push the limits, but in cooperation with what she's riding, if that makes sense? Thinking of her vehicles like one part of the duo.

Absolutely! If she was a Servant, Rider would be her native class tbh.

When it comes to writing races like miqote, viera, or au ra, how far do you tend to go in giving them animal-like traits?

I don't think I do it enough, frankly! Let's hope I get to explore more with my Miqo'tes in the coming days.

What kinds of cars (or bikes, or other vehicles) would your characters drive?

Starting off with the three goddesses... Ana drives and rides, but they have to be FANCY bikes and cars, yfm? Megrez only drives, while Rama prefers riding over driving and it's not even close. They know how to drive, they just prefer riding.
For FFXIV, most of them ride bikes and animals. But if we're talking in a preference, Jo is similar to Ana in taste, while Kinkins is happy to just ride whatever she has with her, and takes care of them surprisingly well despite her thirst for adrenaline.

Which of your characters could most and least easily handle your previous jobs?

Ana could probably handle my previous jobs very well: effective, efficient and diplomatic by nature. Jo however, would absolutely struggle to do any of the jobs that require her to deal with clients directly.

How good would your OCs be at driving, do any of them not have a license?

None of them have a license, but they all drive well… to certain degrees. Rama and Kina in particular are terrifyingly bold on the road but you’ll always arrive safely at your destination. But you know! Ask me which cars they’d drive too!
