1-5 for Elena!

thank you!! 💛 // 40 oc development questions

If your oc was to host a TV show, what would it be about? Would your oc be good at it? What sorts of guests would appear?

tbh i don’t think it could ever been something over the top, maybe even something as simple as a “follow me around and see the daily life of the sunblessed” type of deal. it would be elena explaining and showing a perspective of the city that many others might not have, letting others in on how the pelorians go about helping the folk of whitestone, her daily tasks and the responsibilities that come along with being such a highly regarded figure of the city. lots of interactions with the working people and asking them to explain how they do their jobs, mostly members of the clergy, farmers and craftsmen. i think a large portion of the focus would be put onto other people, because elena’s own focus and care is on them so they’re the natural center piece. best parts are the shots of her dogs being cute 🥰 fun specials include attending fancy events, looks at how pelorian holidays are prepared for and held, then her questing time with the campaign party.

Can your oc play any instruments? Have they ever wanted to learn how to play any? Why?

nah, i don’t imagine she’s spent any time on such a thing so far in her life. she’d probably enjoy learning something like a lyre, harp or perhaps even piano, something light and pretty sounding. absolutely no in-character reason for it, solely because i myself simply think it suits her.

If you were to choose another name for your oc, what do you think it would be? Did you choose it for how it sounds or for its meaning?

oh boy, i never had any other options so this is a little side quest. perhaps clara (latin for: bright, clear) or leora (greek for: compassion, light). would have 100% been for the meaning because idk, that’s important to me for this particular girlie this time around. they also all sound v cute

How does your oc fare in the dark? Are they scared? Do they trip over things really easily or navigate like they have night vision? (Or do they have night vision?)

aasimar privilege she has that good good darkvision baybee. she’s never been afraid of the dark, and actually this is funny considering the question above, but i chose the name elena because it means “torch” and i immediately fell in love with the whole she’s a Light In The Darkness energy. which led to her halo radiating light and her eyes being glowy, on top of her cantrips almost all being light/flame related so she can keep things alight.

How well would your oc fare as a teacher? What subject would they be best at teaching? What about the worst?

does teaching calligraphy count? because i can already imagine she’s done that for a few folk lmao. other than that i can see her as a theolgian tbh, with one (1) real specialty but then broad knowledge on other deities. i imagine it’d go well enough if she didn’t have a large group to teach, she’s an excessively patient woman and would find great interest in engaging people over the various topics she’d cover.
