What’s your take on fur trims or cloaks on plate armour? Do you prefer the simplicity of bare steel or a bit of extra flair?

When you read fiction with an emphasis on worldbuilding, what makes a culture come alive for you? Are there any details you always enjoy seeing discussed or anything you really miss when it's not brought up?
Maybe because I don't have a particularly discerning eye, but I treat every sentence, from the language used in normal conversations as well as environmental descriptions as a chance at worldbuilding. Something I enjoy always, is the way the world expands in the perspective of the protagonist as they venture into the world, in the most natural way. We are in this character's head, and therefore their world, and the world expands from their experience. The world is not Just There, as a natural setting in which the protagonist experiences the story, but that their horizon also widens the farther away they venture from their starting point. I think this is one way to ensure that not a lot of readers are lost in the world before they are brought to the character's motives. However, I do have a major bone to pick with a lot of authors, and it's using contemporary curse words for, say, books set in medieval fantasy settings and such. They tend to break my immersion for like a smidge second, before I can focus right back into the world they've set up.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
