Absolutely! She retains her voice and accent from Earth. Helps as well that I’m also British so I don’t have to fake an accent hehe
#Wolquestion #WolQuoted is your WoLs accent British? Like the rest of the scions?

Warrior of Light, somehow ended up here from Earth. I guess this is my life now. SPOILERS FOR ENDWALKER AND DAWNTRAIL @alixstar11.bsky.social for my main account Banner image by @vercomics.bsky.social

Puzzle games, 100%. Portal 2’s a huge part of how she got into this whole mess of an isekai in the first place (long story) but even if that game now brings back complicated memories she still enjoys the genre overall. Good thing she has even more patience than she used to! xD
#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion Since allagan tech apparently included gaming devices according to the new art from SE, what types of video games would your WoL/OC be into?
oh my god this is so funny to imagine Viv would be more bewildered as to how the tech somehow ended up the same than anything but hoo boy, if she knew? She’d excitedly demand to play ALL the co-op games with him. … Fuck, that’s actually really cute. I should get someone to gpose it.
A potentially non-canon and definitely silly wolqotd but Does G'raha let your WoL know he has an Allagan Switch or is it forbidden knowledge? And if your WoL does know about it, how do they behave with it? #wolqotd
Not sure she ever drank before the WoL stuff happened, but I can absolutely see her getting drunk in comedy moments nowadays.
⚔️✨️ #WoLQotD / #WoLQuestion✨️⚔️ Does your WoL Drink? As in alcohol not water.
Oh, incredibly so. Though I think they’d also be concerned as to what the hell happened that got her into that mess, if they ever met again… yeah, I fully believe they’d be very proud of Viv overall.
#NewShiftNewQuestion | #wolqotd | #wolquestion Would your OC's parents be proud of what they are now?
The Sin Eater/Lightwarden AU’s a classic, but there’s also the one where Etheirys’s native Viv never died during the calamity but Earth’s Viv still found herself isekai’d to Eorzea and one way or another found herself in with the Garleans. That one hasn’t been explored much. Could be fun.
#WoLqotd Do you have any alternate takes on the story that your WoL could have gone through that live rent free in your head? What if scenarios that you think about more often than not?
Viv… kind of has an ex…? He was completely off his rocker and Viv doesn’t like to talk about him much. Shit got wild pretty fast.
#wolqotd does your WoL have an ex? Maybe ex’s? Do they still talk with them for is it like arguing on sight thing? Or is it a “oh no..” and booking it out of the room thing? Or is it the one that got away feeling? If they don’t have ex’s do they have any flings?
Weirdly not that many rewrites. I think with Viv I just added my friends’ WoLs as they started playing with me until we ended up with Team Echo as they are today. As for fantasias? Nope, never used one. Viv’s been a female hyur ingame since the beginning and I love her exactly the way she is. ❤️
✨ #WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion ✨ How many "lives" has your WoL/OC had? How many fantasias and rewrites have you done before your current iteration?
Absolutely! Probably with a lot of “awww!”s and “Who’s a good kitty/doggy? Huh?”s.
A stray dog / cat walks next to the WoL / oc and they look friendly. Would your WoL / oc pet the animal? #wolqotd #wolquestion
Viv thinks he’s fucking delusional and has never agreed with his interpretation of her in the slightest so… no. I don’t think there’s anyone else in her story who fills that role. Might have to think about it.
Zenos calls the WoL his mirror, does this ring true for your WoL/OC, or is there someone else that better suits the role? #wolqotd
THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO VIV IN OUR CANON. @mochiedakumiwol.bsky.social had an incident that led to everyone believing he died, but he actually survived it. However, he chose to remain in hiding under the belief that he’d ruined Viv’s and the others’ lives and they’d do better without him.
#Wolqotd How Would your wol&Oc's react to a close person faking there death and finding out there actually alive?
I actually started with archer because I played hunter in WoW so I figured I’d be better at it by default. I didn’t want to switch mains solely for lore, so I worked it into Viv’s backstory.
#wolqotd maybe has been asked before but how do you pick your wol/oc's "main" class? is it what you enjoy playing the most or on what makes sense for them? have you ever played a job that you didn't enjoy bc you decided your OC would? or do you write their story around what you enjoy playing?
Uh, panic. Lots of panic. She’s totally telling the other WoLs though because the idea of hiding it completely and then it coming out is marginally more fucked than having other people know I fully believe they’d be supportive though. Viv has great friends. :D
#wolqotd / #wolquestion i've been on a baldur's gate 3 kick as of late, so: your wol experiences near-constant visions and compulsions of committing unspeakable violence, regardless of their will or personal ethos. how do they handle this? how do they feel about it? walk me through an example.
Okay, so Viv has several people she considers close friends so I don’t know if I can pick just one If I had to, though? Mochihira (@mochiedakumiwol.bsky.social) considering all the crap they’ve been through. (there is a very close second)
#wolquestion #wolqotd Who is your wol(oc)'s best friend?
@mochiedakumiwol.bsky.social and I had a discussion about glams that resulted in some... interesting gposes. Take them as you will.
Pretty mundane, but Viv loves coffee. I’ve tried it before and I just can’t stand the stuff.
#wolqotd because why not - Is there anything that your WoL/OC adores that you yourself do not? In my case - Jherr and Phina ABSOLUTELY ADORE roller coasters - the faster and wilder and loopier, the better! I can’t ride even a tiny coaster, lest the vertigo kick my ass XD
BlueSkyVivvy2016 (no this isn’t anything to do with this site, I came up with this a long time ago) “BlueSkyVivvy2016 hit the ground too hard”
#wolqotd Another gaming one. What's your WoL/OC's Minecraft username and what is their most common Minecraft death? Now combine the two into one death message. :)
Okay, the ARR bard relic is 100% canon. The Endwalker relic is also 100% canon as it ties into some AU MSQ stuff we’ve come up with. The others I’m not too certain of.
#wolqotd Do you consider any/all of the relic weapon quests to be canon for your WoL/OC? Are they hype to do the grind for every single new weapon? Can they not be arsed to even do one? Have they only done any attached story (Eureka, Bozja, OC?)
Currently due to the nature of Viv’s isekai the incident actually stabilised her to some extent. It’s sort of a footnote for her in the grand scheme of things? I don’t know if it really affected her until after the adrenaline wore off.
remember how in the new Lahabrea solo instance he straight up unequivocally kills you. like its a mechanical point that he straight up toasts your ass and Hydaelyn brings you back. #wolqotd did that fuck up your WoL/OC or what
Viv just rolls her eyes and laughs it off these days. She doesn’t really care if people think she’s not a “hero of legend” or whatever. If that perception makes them block her from helping though, she WILL make a point of showing why those legends were made, as best she can.
#wolqotd How does your WoL/OC take the "I thought you'd be taller" or "You don't look so tough" lines from people expecting a hero out of legend but getting an adventurer instead? Does it hurt their feelings? Maybe provoke them to show off more? Unfazed?
My friends and I kept cracking jokes about a member of Viv’s family from Earth also showing up abruptly in Eorzea and being chaotic. This has since become canon and expanded a bit, so now Viv does canonically reunite with some of her Earth family.
#wolqotd For the player. What's the mistake or joke that you just decided " F*** it, it's lore now."
Trapped in Another World, You Are Not Alone, I Choose to Stay. They’re all on TV Tropes for anyone curious.
#wolquestion / #wolqotd if you had to describe your WoL/OC’s lore (or relationship to another character) in 3 tropes (e.g., angst, found family, hero to villain, coming of age, etc.), what would they be?
… Huh. I never thought about this. Viv doesn’t really paint her nails so 99% of the time they’re bare. If she did, they’d be a dark red I reckon.
#wolqotd what color are your WoL/OCs nails and why? :D
I can totally see Viv opening up to Raha about a lot of things that bother her. He likely knows the most about her troubles out of all the Scions by a LONG shot. Comes with being together, doesn’t it? :D
#wolqotd / #wolquestion there are a handful of moments in canon where the wol sees or experiences something that clearly rattles them, and then they keep it to themselves and it never gets brought up again. but how true is that for YOUR wol? is there someone they'd talk to, about things like this?
COFFEE. Viv adores the stuff. If you bring her some she’s a lot more likely to tolerate your presence xD
Honest question. What could someone bribe your OC / WoL with? #WoLQOTD
It’d be like if Viv had a really irritating sister. I love my girl to bits but she would be so done with my nonsense lmfao
#wolquestion #wolqotd Would you get along with your wol(oc)?
Uhh… Viv’s isekai event is kind of tied into Portal 2? I haven’t talked about it much because it always seems super cringy but in my head there’s definitely a connection there
#wolqotd what is the weirdest hc you have, whether for your wol/oc or for the world at large? whether it’s explaining game mechs in canon or how your blorb got isekai’d or why some bugs are normal sized and some are the size of a horse, just something others usually don’t think about?
There are two variations for sad Viv: loud, emotional, and crying; or silent and deep in thought. Most incidents will result in the second variant. Anything particularly bad will result in the first variant.
#wolquestion #wolqotd How does your wol(oc) react to being sad?
