✗ Other than fantasy, what genre of literature do you think your OC would fit best in?

I'm definitely going to say historical fiction for both Snow and Daehan. Technically Vash would fit nicely too, but I think something like mystery/thriller/horror would be better suited for him.

✗ What historical period do you think your OC would fit best in? 

Snow: Imperial China for sure, though what dynasty I'm not quite sure.

Vash: Hmm, I'm having a hard time deciding with him tbh. 

Daehan: Maybe Goryeo Dynasty in Korea?

✗ What TV show do you think your OC would fit best in?

✗ What game (not Eldarya) do you think your OC would fit best in? 

Can I just have them all in Mortal Kombat so that they all get these cool, gory Fatalities? xD

✗ Your OC has gotten their hands on a machine that allows them to time travel. They can only use it TWICE. Either to travel to two different times, or to travel to one time and then back to the present. 

Where do they go and what do they do? Do they irreversibly change history, steal some priceless items or just observe?

Snow: As a (former) student of Chinese archaeology, Snow would obviously choose to travel back to imperial China perhaps to the Tang Dynasty. She would love to quietly observe and study her surroundings as well as the people. She would try to find answers to the archaeological finds that have left her and her colleagues puzzled. She would primarily preoccupy herself with studying, but would also find time to immerse herself in the culture. Beyond that, she would never do anything to change history or even steal the littlest of items. She would observe what she wanted and then return to the present.

Vash: Oh boy, if he had a time machine, Vash would definitely go back to save his mother. Nothing else would matter. He wouldn't even need to use the time machine a second time. 

Daehan: Much like with Vash, Daehan would jump back in an attempt to change the past so that he didn't have to end up where he is now. His backstory's kind of complicated and I'm actually still working out the kinks for it, but I'm thinking he'd try to isolate the source of what he believes to have put him on the path he is on now (namely exiled and trying to return to the good graces of his clan).

08/11/2017 Obsidian Weekly Questions

✗ If your OC was a quest giver in an MMO, what sort of quest do you think they'd give? 

Snow: Kill an X amount of monsters Y.
Vash: Collect an X amount of items Y.

Daehan: Collect an X amount of items, then deliver it to Y.

✗ What sort of person would be the antithesis to your OC? (@Diamond)

Snow: Loud, talkative, and always joking around
Vash: Meek, soft-spoken, and generous

Daehan: Loud, mean-spirited, and expressive

✗ (Creator Question) Why did you design your OC the way have? (@Diamondust)

Snow: A lot of her personality was actually based around my own because in the early days of Eldarya she wasn't mean to be a completely separate OC. When I did decide to turn her into an actual OC, I just expanded from what was originally there.
Vash: He was actually a character I made for an RP back on MCL long time ago and was meant to be a villain to another OC of mine. This means his early personality was way more extreme than he is now and there was nothing cute about him. I later amended himself quite a bit when he became the star of another RP, which never took off so I decided to bring him over here and again he underwent a few small changes to fit into the Eldarya-verse.

Daehan: His story was originally inspired by Vash's own background, and so in some ways, he was meant to be a foil to Vash. 

✗ (Creator Question) We know our OC's favorite things, list a few of yours.

Color: Olive green | Music: Alternative rock, ambient pop | Weather: Rain | Season: Winter | Ice cream: Cookies & Cream | Animal: Cats |  Anime: Cowboy Bebop |

08/04/2017 Obsidian Weekly Questions

✗ How does your OC handle a tough decision? (@Diamond)
Snow: Look at all sides of the equation and choose what is reasonably best.Vash: He kind's of impulsive so he would probably go with his gut reaction.Daehan: Go along with what is best for everyone/what he believes everybody would want. 
✗ If your OC could learn to ride a dragon, would they? Would they be any good at it?Snow: Probably once for the experience, but other than if there was some sort of dragon cavalry, she would be done with that one time. Vash: He'd give it a try just 'cause. Daehan: Not likely unless he absolutely needed to.
✗ What is most likely to get your OC killed? (@Diamond)Snow: I feel like she would be too practical and emotionally-detached to let herself be killed so easily, but maybe the fact that she can be very transparent with her actions or that she doesn't deal very well with spontaneity. Vash: His impulsiveness. Does before he thinks and that isn't always a smart plan of action.Daehan: Altruism. He's the type to save everyone before saving himself and/or sacrifice himself if necessary.
✗ What Disney song describes your OC best? (@Forte)Snow:Vash:Daehan:

✗ WORLD CHALLENGE Find an image (game images are fine) of a place that would work well in the Eldarya world and write a brief description of what that place is like.

07/28/2017 Obsidian Weekly Questions

✗ Why does your protagonist view the antagonist as their antagonist? (@Diamond)

Snow: Personal relationship, obstacle to getting home, threat to everything she holds dear

Vash: In the way of achieving his happiness/a fulfilling life

Daehan: Corruption 

✗ What thing could you yell in a crowd to find your lost OC?

Snow: Her name, duh.

Vash: Free cigarettes!!

Daehan: Anything about Vash because at this point the man's obsessed.

✗ Name 3 insecurities your OC has. (@Diamond)

Snow: (1) Her personality will chase people away; (2) Cooking skills are basic at best; (3) Eye color because it's always been a reminder of her not belonging anywhere and left her questioning her identity; (4) That she's not particularly good at anything and was not gifted with any talent

Vash: (1) Feeling that he will always be second place in people's lives; (2) Speaking his native tongue because he doesn't use it as often as he did in the past; (3) That no one really wants him around and he's just a waste of space

Daehan: (1) At times his antlers because they occasionally put him in awkward situations; (2) Never being able to truly fit in anywhere; (3) Ending up alone   

✗ Who has the potential to hurt your OC the most? (@Diamond)

Snow: Her parents

Vash: His friends

Daehan: Probably anybody willing to spill that truth tea on him 

✗ The summer event is here! Describe what your OC would be like if they were a pirate?

Snow: Probably the first mate/quartermaster who would pick up all the crap that the captain is too lazy to do, essentially captain in all but name. Would run a tight ship, quick to put down fights, equally punish everybody who disobeys. Disliked by many for her strict ways despite only being second-in-command but also respected by many for her efficiency and penchant for getting shit done.

Vash: A rum-drinking, tobacco-smoking, shit-stirring pirate who would likely lead a mutineer, quickly find out he hates the responsibility of being leader, and then jump ship to go off looking for treasure himself.

Daehan: A humble crew mate who picks up everybody's slack. No one knows why he still chooses to remain on board when he's always admonishing the crew's penchant for violence and treasure-plundering attitudes. He's honestly only there for the adventure and to get away from the shit back home; all of that doesn't matter though because no one really listens to him anyway.

✗ Create a pirate look for your Guardian!

✗ Create a tropical island look for your Guardian!

07/21/2017 Obsidian Weekly Questions

✗ What is your OC's full name? Is there a story behind it? (@Diamond)

Snow: Her parents wanted to give her a special snowflake name so they thought that Snowvella would be cute when really it just sounds weird. Her full name is important to her though so Snow never had it legally changed. In reality I never planned to make a guardian OC until after I chose my username and I compromised lol. Chinese name: Huang Xueying (literally 黄雪英 snow flower)
Vash: Name he goes by is Vash Asoraka. It's really just a mishmash of words and has no significant meaning; he just wanted to change his name after his mom's death. His birth name is Asakusa Kiyomasu (浅草清倍), Asakusa being his family/clan name and Kiyomasu being his uncle's name.
Daehan: No actual last name but his full name is technically Daehan of Baengnokdam. No meaning behind his first name but Baengnokdam (백녹담, literally 'white deer lake') is the name of the crater lake his tribe comes from. 

✗ Would your OC survive on a deserted island? 

Snow: For a little while she would do fine, but I don't think she'd do well in the long run. She doesn't have the necessary survival skills to live off the wilderness for a prolonged period of time.
Vash: Could probably last for awhile; he has decent survival skills but mentally speaking, he might not be able to stand it for long.
Daehan: Of my three OCs, he has the best survival skills because his people live off the land so he'd probably survive the longest.    

✗ What's one thing that other characters wish they could change about your character's personality?

Snow: Being standoffish
Vash: His need to be an ass to everybody for no reason
Daehan: His inability to sincerely open up and speak the truth

✗ Does your OC have any personal enemies? (@Diamond)

Snow: Her ex-fiancè Colin is at the top of her list for cheating on her. On a lesser scale, there's Miiko for being a horrible person, a horrible leader, and simply because she stands as the figurehead for Snow not being able to get back home.
Vash: No not really, but Daehan is slowly making his way up there.
Daehan: Vash, if that wasn't obvious yet.

✗ Throwback! Find an animated character (video game/movie/cartoon) that looks the closest to your Guardian. (Suggested by @Scyanatha)
Snow: I chose Hanabi (Naruto) last time but maybe female Kinesis from Maplestory could work too (at least for a chibi version!)

or Boa Hancock from One Piece (but not as well-endowed of course :P)

Vash: Shinya Kogami from Psycho-Pass

Daehan: Liu Kang because that's who I took inspiration from when I was creating him

✗ Throwback!If you had to pick an actress to play your Guardian in a movie, who would suit them best?
All my FCs for my OCs have experience acting soooo...
Snow: Ni Ni
Vash: Kato Kazuki
Daehan: Ok Taecyeon
