it's the month of giving

Dating and engaged! Xaia has two Hyurs that they love very much (and who stress them the fuck out 24/7) Their fiancé is the red haired Dalmascan I usually gpose them with called Fiore (played by my irl partner <3) Their recently gained boyfriend has no gposes rn but Soon-tm. #XaiaLore

Very physically expressive, with a fair bit of auditory expression mixed in. Xaia is mute to the point that the most complicated sounds they can make are the whistles and chirps of Huntspeak. They also purr and squeak. But most of their expression comes from physical motions. > #XaiaLore

me when any of my friends send me a rp reply in discord and get anxious or worried, this is who you are sending it to

I'm alive, sort of. The job hunt sucks. But in other news Xaia has TWO men they smooch now. It's very cute

A friend! Xaia loves all creatures, especially creepy crawlies. They're used to handling all manners of insects, frogs, snakes, birds... A cockroach is one of the more tame things they've dealt with. #XaiaLore

I promise I'm Very Normal about these two (I'm not)

Yes! I run with a little group that does RP nights several times a week. It's the highlight of my day and they're all wonderful people. Most of the lore I have for Xaia is stuff I came up with simply because another character asked them a question.

New favourite latest RP thing- Xaia getting invited to have a "girl's night" by this girl they're befriending, and the third member of their trio is also a masculine non-binary cat. It can still be a girl's night, right?

unapologetic OC lovers rise up….!!!! #OCsky

Me

I would absolutely love to rant about RP things more, even drag more people into the little community I'm in. But a lot of stuff in here seems very... Solo stuff? OCxNPC etc. It's hard to connect with that when there doesn't seem to be a way in, y'know?

I've had to answer this a lot in my RP group C'xaiake Kuna - Kah-shy-ah-kay Coo-nah Although since moving to Eorzea, they've grown oddly fond of the mispronunciation of Xaiake (Sigh-ah-kay). They don't correct people anymore. #XaiaLore

I love them?? New port for a shirt because I needed it on TBSE. Might make it public if I can get the toggles working?

So, I'm without a job rn and ohboy we got bills to pay... Opening comms soon? maybe? No matter how nervous it makes me it's kinda important to keep a roof over my head

sign up is LIVE! the form has some more info about how the event works; the same info in saveable graphic form is... also coming soon. open until midnight EST 2/13! 🍾💋 #XIVSpinTheBottle #XIVSpinTheBottle25 cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for...

#wolquestion | #wolqotd What hobbies/skills do you share with your WoL/OC? Or are there any you give them that you really wish you could also do?

My group and I are pretty firm with the "IC ≠ OOC" 1) Conflict between characters is fine, one of mine (Zehlvi) is known for being a bitch that hates 90% of people. But I'm very clear that him hating someone does not mean I hate anyone OOC 2) If we don't like someone OOC, we just don't interact. >

Ooo this is a fun one. Xaia's soul is weird, it's hollow. It would appear to be a white, crackling flame with a dark spot in the middle where the core is empty. As a kitsune, the core of Xaia's soul is in a gem (these are usually called star balls) that's in a pendant. > #XaiaLore

So the RP group got to the "Tuliyollal gets Fucked" in our little story and Xaia's partner went down during the fighting. You bet your ass this baby auspice finally cracked. But hey, they can be a big fox now! #gpose

Since I'm pretty heavy on RPing, I have multiple OCs I jump between depending on what I'm feeling. Aetris is my male Au Ra and main content character. ICly he's a WoL that's retiring soon. Zehlvi is my grumpy healer and reaper OC, and one of my main three to RP.

Xaia doesn't know what their birth parents look like, but they don't look much like their adopted parents or siblings. It's been hilarious lately with them introducing people to their "twin" brother who's a Miqo'te, while they're a Viera. But no one wants to point out the issue. #XaiaLore

I keep thinking about posting fics but they'd just be my own characters, no NPCs. Idk if they'd be of interest to anyone

New ears and tail! With all the adventures Xaia has been on lately, I wanted to give them something a little messier but still fluffy, and I love these. They're two different mods I mashed together myself and added highlights too :D

Happy New Year y'all! I promise I'm not dead, just recovering from the holidays before I get back into posting often

I travel home tomorrow, back to my PC! I love my family but ohboy do I miss having my own space and routine

Yes! I write with an RP group (there's a good 15 or so of us) that follows along with the MSQ but doesn't directly involve it. The Scions and the WoL are a whole other thing we don't touch. Xaia has already had a mini-arc for joining this group, and helped another character with his. > #XaiaLore

Physical touch over everything else. Words are hard. Both Xaia and I would prefer to greet friends by hugging or giving them a lovely cat-style head bunt rather than talk. We'll both also murder if spoken to in the morning pre-drink (coffee for me, tea for Xaia). #XaiaLore

*Taps the kitsune folklore* This. As a strange Spoken/kitsune mix, Xaia gets thrown in with some of the stories sometimes. And they're trying so, so hard to prove they're not that. But it's a very tough uphill struggle when they don't know anyone else like them. #XaiaLore

So much of the auspice lore I've been working on, honestly. There's very little to be found after you're done with the Four Lords and wanting a kitsune character means bending, breaking, or making new lore. > #XaiaLore

A 1 is being generous, probably a 0. Xaia isn't built for fighting or anything like that, and the only reason people likely believe they can handle pain at all is because they can't make sounds of pain. Thankfully, they aren't injured often. #XaiaLore

Xaia has their own clan marks! My lore with their tribe is that the clan marks reflect their role in the tribe and Xaia is an alchemist, so their marks are flowery vines. Their siblings all have tiger stripes, given to hunters. All clan marks are white since they live in the snow. #XaiaLore

Can you tell I'm free of family for the day? So much more lore is getting thrown out there

Xaia's most common outfit right now is their Tural gear. It's a mix of commissioned stuff from their contacts in Ul'dah and some of their own additions. It shows a lot more skin than their usual styles, but being from the mountains, Xaia isn't exactly used to the Turali heat. > #XaiaLore

Xaia ended up learning a whole lot of lessons about themselves. With romantic, they've learnt that their "please everybody" attitude doesn't work in arguments, and hiding away doesn't solve anything. Platonic, they've learnt how capable they can be, and the right friends will help that. #XaiaLore

Xaia regularly adopts toxic critters, their latest being a bunch of poison dart frogs. They'll release them eventually. #XaiaLore

Xaia is poly and pansexual. Demi should also probably be a part of that because they rely so heavily on having an emotional connection. Right now, they have one partner who they absolutely adore, and it was very much a sudden "lean in and kiss" when they realised they loved him. #XaiaLore

Xaia can't remember their name from before they were adopted, but they were named C'xaiake Kuna after they were adopted into the Coeurl tribe under the assumption they would be female like most Viera (spoiler, they're not). But they love their name > #XaiaLore

Their black and white theme, their ears and tail, and their white tattoos. I don't know when or why I decided they only wore black, white, and silver, but putting them in anything colourful is just strange now. #XaiaLore

Fun Fact No.1 #XaiaLore Xaia is a member of the Coeurl tribe, despite being a Viera. They were adopted from the age of 7 and have 5 siblings; 1 older and 4 younger.

I feel like a lot of qotd stuff isn't easy to answer for Xaia since they're not a WoL but I wanna post daily. Maaaaybe I try out posting fun facts that spring to mind

Show me OCs smiling! I cannot and will not only pick one picture #ffxiv
