Here are my WoLs
I love them lots
I have two WoLs, and their canons do not interact with each other.Kokolai is my main, the one I personally experience the story through, and the one I play most often.Isoux is my alt made for a specific WoLship, and is the one I draw/talk about most frequently.I love them both a lot, thank you for taking an interest!
Isoux Couvois
age | 18 (start of ARR) |
pronouns | he/him |
height | 188cm / 6'2" |
main job | White Mage |
Born to (if the rumours are to be believed) an ancient bloodline deep within the Twelveswood, Isoux was raised to be demure, obedient, and continue on the lineage. The gold in his hair at birth was proof of the gods' blessing, a prophecy passed down through the family's ages.
At 18, unwilling to be broken and shackled to a nightmare for the rest of his life, he escapes to Gridania.
The Conjurer's Guild allowed him a rebirth; Isoux Couvois is his chosen name.
Naturally cautious, distrustful, and quick witted
Always interested in local flora and how it can be used medically
Sees the Echo as a curse
Prefers to watch quietly and judge silently
Will keep a secret
Wishes he could let himself be more open
References (WIP)
Important things to note for artists:
- He has scars all over his body and face. You can take liberty with the scars on his body.
- I draw him with a much more feminine body than canon.
- None of his hairstyles are canon, so feel free to just draw something pretty! I have a little guide of the styles I tend to draw him with and when in his timeline he wears them, but go nuts.
It's not a healthy one
They meet for the first time at Alphinaud's behest, as the Warrior of Light and the second in command of the Crystal Braves, and are immediately attracted to one another. They have enough life experience to not let it show.
Ilberd thinks it's a shame. Isoux is a little embarrassed of himself.
But after working together, feeling the shared tension, and finally caving in to their needs after a night of off-duty drinking, they realize how much they want to be with each other.Before the banquet, their secret relationship is truly happy, but it's only because they refuse to mention anything about their daily lives or true selves when they're together. It's a genuine happiness and love, but a shallow one; the deepest and darkest parts of themselves are still firmly sealed away.When Ilberd clasps Isoux's hands in irons, he leaves the latches a little bit loose.
Isoux can't hear a thing, but he feels the hole in his chest where he must have once had a pulse. Ilberd's twisted face is unfamiliar, and the rest of the night feels like a terror, a nightmare he is unable to force himself awake from.
Not entirely canon-compliant
There is no canon for Isoux that involves Ilberd dying at the Wall.In the immediate ensuing chaos of Baelsar's Wall, the trapped Shinryu still overhead, a traumatized Isoux returns to heal any soul he finds still struggling. There he sees Ilberd, mortally wounded. He saves him, brings him back to his secluded cottage in the Black Shroud. He uses his healing arts as best he can to close the wound on his shoulder, the bloody damaged gap where his arm used to be, torn off underneath a massive piece of machinery broken off from the Wall.Stormblood is tumultuous. Isoux keeps his travels to Gyr Abania and the Far East a secret from the recovering Ilberd. He keeps the continued existence of his lover, the worst traitor the Ul'dahn Sultanate has ever seen a secret from the rest of the world.But during this, they talk. They admit their secrets, reveal their reasons why, and, to the best of their abilities, confess their love.Only once Ala Mhigo is freed does Isoux bring Ilberd back to his homeland and offers him a choice. No matter his answer, Isoux would make it a reality. Stay together or return home?Ilberd admits he wants to stay with Isoux. The where does not matter to him.
OK, that's cute, I guess
While the worst of their days are over, their relationship still isn't a healthy one by any means.They're codependent, possessive, jealous, violently overprotective, obsessed. But that's alright, because they both cherish it being this way. Their love is only frightful from the outside.It is only after the Scions are brought back from the First does Isoux reveal to them Ilberd's survival. None of them are very happy about it (some are irreparably furious), but they see the good it does Isoux, and are stunned at his rare display of honesty. Out of either respect, guilt, or merely just reading the room, Ilberd refrains from interacting with the Scions.
ISOUXBERD
(Ilberd x Isoux)
Ilberd Feare
age | 44 (post-ARR) |
height | 200cm / 6'7" |
main job | Paladin |
I won't go too into his details here, but here are some basics, and some things exclusive to my Isouxberd canon!- Scar on right brow
- Scars all over body. Have fun with these, they're from a long life of battling.Post Baelsar's Wall onwards, I draw him missing his right arm from the shoulder. The anatomy doesn't need to be perfect (I certainly don't draw it correct), but it's important to me that he doesn't have his arm in anything set 4.0+.I don't have any specific outfits I put him in (aside from any notable canon ones.) I usually draw him in something reminiscent of the Weathered Shirt, but that's just because I like drawing his bare chest. I mean, he'd wear it, he's a hotblooded Ala Mhigan!
Kokolai Chainsaw
age | ?? |
pronouns | any (I default to they/them) |
height | 92cm / 3'0" |
main jobs | Summoner / White Mage |
Rumours about Kokolai's origins and history are varied and abundant, and Kokolai relishes in this. Once it starts to get a little out of control after defeating the Ultima Weapon, they employ Urianger to keep track of the many myths, and these are the ones they enjoy most:- Being born from the belly of a bear
- Being brought to Eorzea by a meteorite
- Being an ancient diety second only to HydalenAlas, Kokolai will never answer you directly where they came from or how they appeared in Limsa Lominsa one day. We know the pirates they're incredibly friendly and familiar with have something to do with it, and their existing knowledge of Thanalan is suspect, but without confirmation, I guess our Warrior of Light will just have to remain a mystery.
Their greatest weapon is their smile — you will be their friend
Wants to be allies with everyone. Yes, everyone. Even them.
Wears their heart on their sleeve
Laughs easily, cries easily, angers easily
Surprisingly, they are actually incredibly intelligent, with a brilliant mathematical mind
Basically, a shounen manga protagonist
Things to note for artists:
- Fangs! I will always draw them with fangs. Please include the fangs.
- I try to avoid drawing or putting them in any clothes that are gender-locked. There's no restrictions on outfits, otherwise.
