emergence by family_staralternate_emailCaine

posted last year, edited last year

OC: Varian (he/him)

Creative liberties with the butterfly chrysalis were taken to accommodate how large he is 👍

The sticky goo makes sure his initial emergence doesn't result in him falling off the tree; it'll dry off soon after Varian gets a proper grip of the tree to let blood pump into his wings

OC tag - Djala by @meakimon

OC tag - DjalaRules:1.Choose one of your OCs.2.Your OC SHOULD NOT lie.3.Journal/literature title should be "OC Interview".4.When you’re done, tag as many people as you wish. Don't have to.5.Have fun! image 1. What is your real name and nickname? "Hello there! Huh, my name? It's Djala Raskashene. My name is a nickname in itself, sort of.It's from a world called Shareen, where some people called likans, have this word and it means "cutie."My mother Ras Ka, really likes other cultures, and this interest rubbed off on me as well. So while my father wanted a traditional azabu name, my mother won. Thank you mother!" image 2. What's your current age? "I'm 24 springs old! I was born in Halm(March) on the 16th! The months name means peaceful blossoms in zabu, which is the language I speak." 3. What's your favorite food? "I have many favourite foods. I usually like sweets more than savoury dishes, but I'm always open for trying new foods. Hm, maybe that's why I have so many favourites?Anyway, I think I should pick one! I pick... Hmmm.... The new years dish, baked Tja Ner buns!!It's the last dish served for the new years celebration, on the 16th day which is also my birthday, heh!The name means "mirthful star" and the buns have a sort of stylized star shape to them. They have fruits baked into them, and these spicy seeds that you put on top before baking them. So its spicy, but sweet inside." image 4. And your favorite drink? "Guilty, I confess that I like suuka drinks a lot. They're hot sweet drinks, served with a few sour sticks of candy. It's a fun mix!" 5. Confession time! Do you have a crush, a lover? Who is it? "I don't have one! Haha! Maybe that sounds strange, but I travel a lot, so it would be hard to maintain such a relationship. But I love making friends, especially with people from the other worlds!" 6. Have you kissed anyone yet? "Yes. I have. It wasn't very special. I was 8, and it was a dare from my sibling to kiss a friend of theirs. Oh wait you're not asking about my first kiss??? Ummm!Honestly, I prefer kissing now that I'm an adult. There's a lot more excitement to it now. " 7. What about your childhood sweetheart? "I don't have one.I had lots of friends, but I didn't have crushes until I was like 18 summers old. But... I never acted on any of them. I was too shy! Can you imagine! Me, shy?? HAH!" 8. Who's your favorite author? "Easy! Lo Huan!She did a lot of important work, but also because... She made the characters of our alphabet, so every time I read something, I'm kind of reading her stuff! She's also credited with naming our months." 9. Now, what's your biggest fear? "Being attacked while out traveling in some other world.Normally, I am assigned guides, or escorts. But there was this one time, when we heard weird sounds from a forest we were supposed to travel through. But luckily the guide decided we should take a different route! Phew!" 10. Any siblings? "I have lots!My family is pretty big, and I have three siblings. That's a lot, for an azabu family. There's my oldest sister, Mio Am, who is 31 winters old. Her name means docile smile, because she's always so calm. She's a librarian! My younger brother, Ru Oed, who is 16 autumns old now. His name means creative word, and it's his second name that he got after he wrote some very 'creative' plays that his school likes to put up. My youngest sibling, To Chid, who is only 3 summers old! They're so cute! I should draw you a picture sometime! Their name means surprised friend, because when they arrived, they looked at everything with these huge eyes. So cute!! <3 imageYes, as you may have guessed, my father named the rest of my siblings." 11. Almost done, it's only twenty questions. Who's your hero? "I would have to answer that the Liva Aonde is. Her name is Nenua Dalinshene.She's the one who is currently keeping our world turning, so to speak.She has more of a spiritual presence, though we can go meet her in person, if her schedule allows for it.The Liva Aonde is not head of state, but more of an advisor who the ministers look to for input. We used to have rulers, but after Nenua's parent came home and there was a lot of political shake ups, the Liva Aonde decreed that her family should have no direct hand in politics, given the strong powers they command. She thought absolute power would eventually corrupt whichever of them held that power." 12. OK, who's your worst enemy? "Hm, I don't think I have one.I know that I have annoyed some people, because not everyone likes cheerful people all the time, but I haven't met any, yet, that I find to be a brute." 13. Huh, alright. Now who's your best friend? "You're asking so many tough questions!Like I said before, I make lots of friends. So really, it's hard to single out one as my best friend. I really like the raidjem that I'm travelling with right now, but I don't know if it's mutual. Like... do they like me for me or just because I feed them?" 14. Interesting... What would you do if you met your creator? "I'd thank them very respectfully for allowing me this life that I'm currently enjoying." 15. Now, what do/did you want to be when you grow up? "Wait, I thought I was grown up?Well, as a child, I wanted to grow up to be a guard, a doctor, and a librarian. But as I grew up more, my mother told me so much about these other worlds, and I just KNEW that I had to go see them. Hence why I made up a profession! Culture Exchange!" 16. What's your worst nightmare? "Is this related to biggest fear or?I think the worst nightmare I ever had was when I was finally meeting the people of this other world. Only to then lose my teeth and piss myself. AUGH! Even thinking about it makes me squirm! I don't like bad dreams!" 17. What's your lifelong dream? "To have everyone know a little bit about each others culture!I wonder if people would fight less if they understood each other more..." 18. What would you do if your lifelong dream came true? "I'd arrange a HUGE party, and invite all the people that I had met on my journeys!!" 19. OK, where's your favorite place to relax? "Anywhere that there's a chance for a sweet snack, and some sunshine!" 20. Last question! What do you do most of the time? "I study cultures. I travel around with my living memory and my raidjem. We meet with people, tell them a bit about my own culture, and listen to theirs. Then after 2 weeks, I travel home to Zabunux and tell the people there about what I've learned. I see this was the last question!Thank you so much for your interest, and for letting me ramble on. I'll see myself back to my duties. May your path be bright!" image
