So! The name Altair Nioux is literally night themed. Altair is brightest star in the Aquila constellation! Nioux is me mashing the French word for night (Nuit) and the traditional Elezen endings for surnames! Hence his sword being designed the way that it is!

Maybe? I don’t yap enough about their lore and stories and I’d like to but I don’t know what people want to hear-

Thb? Both yes and no. The concept of getting attached easy is very different for all of the crew. Altair gets attached once he thinks that someone has a good soul. So like, with Haurchefant? He got attached VERY quickly. Like it was kinda insane. But Haurchefant also wore his (1/2)
#solsticelore
Actually! All 5 of them are pretty comfy in their bodies!
#SolsticeLore
Darius sleeps with one DEAD pillow for himself, one for Benjamin and as many as Pip wants on her side of the bed-
#solsticelore
Altair: Acts of Service
Khoi: Physical Touch
Sindri: Words of Affirmation
K'rhika: Quality Time
Aalis: Giving Gifts
#solsticelore
Oh, I love this. So, Altair is blind in one eye. He was blinded when he was a kid and it's something that he keeps covered all the time because it's not *completely* blind, but just enough that it's not usable.
#solsticelore
So, Altair has a lot of scars being the WoL and all, but the one he considers to be the worse is the ones over his eyes. So, when he was younger, he foolishly attempted to take on some Imperial soldiers at the Ala Mhigan border. 1/4
#solsticelore: Okay because I'm a little insane I have... a lot of paring types. But for simplicity, I'll list all of my
OC/Canon ships 🧵
Solstice/Scion
- Altair/Estinien: Drakeheart
- Aalis/Thancred: Duskbloom
- K'rhika/Y'sthola: Leybound
- Khoi/G'raha: Starshroud
- Sindri/Urianger: Moonrise
Okay... I don't know how interested ppl are but hopefully I'll be able to do one of these per main OC? Idk. Let's see... But we starting with the WoL himself, Altair :D
( #solsticelore )
#solsticelore
Oh so much. Altair over time became pretty closed off without realizing just due to the sheer number of people that he's lost. And he blames himself for every single fucking one of them. He tries to remember as many names as possible, but sometimes he forgets. 1/3
#solsticelore
I AM A NERD WHO MADE UP A WHOLE SYSTEM OF GETTING YOUR ARCHON MARK = DEFENDING YOUR THESIS. ALL OF MY ARCHON BABIES HAVE *THESIS NAMES* This is what they have their archon marks in!
Sindri: Summoning
Aalis: Healer Magicks
Khoi: Archaic Aether
K'rhika: Ancient Allagan Technology
#solsticelore
Okay so G'raha/Khoi ship. There's a single defining moment that G'raha shows Khoi that he's worthy of bearing the title of protector. A little backstory. Khoi was dating this Viera named Blu when he was young. During the Calamity, Blu used the last of his energy to shield +
#SolsticeLore
Darius on the other hand was forcefully chased out of Ishgard for being accused of attempted murder to the member of a high house (his step-father) who cornered him in an alley and stabbed them both in the hand before calling guards that this ‘mongrel’ was attempting to kill him.
#solsticelore
Altair: Haurchefant was his first romantic relationship. I don't gotta say how that ended. It's something that haunts him and kept him from wanting to find a relationship for YEARS (+ the WoL shit). Even after getting married to Estinien, there are days he feels guilty for missing him
#solsticelore 🧵
Altair: Only child. His parents both died before he could have any siblings. Although, he does consider the twins to be like younger siblings to him. He loves them dearly and a lot of MSQ revolves around him dishing out the "find out" portion of "fuck with the twins and find out"
:) 🧵
#solsticelore
#solsticelore 🧵
Altair/Estinien (Drakeheart): Altair knows Alberic pretty well due to the Dragoon questline being canon to him. He thinks the man is trying despite the mistake he made. We're pretty sure Estinien is scared of Solelle... as he should be.
#solsticelore 🧵
Altair: It wasn't your fault. He made the decision on his own terms. Nor would he have wanted you to blame yourself. There's no need to ask for forgiveness when you didn't wrong him in the first place. Also, it's okay to miss him--no one blames you for that.
Thread time! 🧵But, I do wanna say that regardless of what they are "canonically" I have absolutely fucking shipped all 10 of my Scions in one big happy mess so uh... yk
#solsticelore
#solsticelore
Altair (DRG): "Hah! No turning back now. Let’s see if you can keep up!"
Sindri (SMN): "Oh, you have good taste. Lucky you--I’m here to dazzle and destroy~!"
Khoi (WAR): "Right. I’ll take point--stay close, and we’ll get through this together."
To everyone's surprise, Altair steps down from being the WoL. After years and years of keeping the peace on the star, he wants to find peace in his life--spend time with his husband raising his boys. Altair knows that others will step into his place when the star needs heroes.
#solsticelore
#solsticelore
Altair: To this day, he still blames himself heavily for Haurchefant's death. Sometimes he wishes he was the one who took the shot, Warrior of Light be damned... the world lost something far more important that day. Edmont and Solelle are the only two who know about this guilt.
#solsticelore 🧵
Altair: Becomes hyperverbal and will talk a million miles per hour until someone grabs him by the face and tells him to stop talking and breath for a moment
ARR // DT
Altair: 26 // 33
Khoi: 26 // 33
Sindri: 28 // 35
K'rhika: 33 // 40
Aalis: 28 // 35
Surya: 20 // 27
#solsticelore
Okay this is gonna become a thread 🧵
#solsticelore
Okay so... Altair loves hotsprings and would literally sit in them forever if he could. Aalis and Khoi are the same (lizards). Sindri is more of a shower kinda person as is K'rhika. But above anything, all 5 of them care DEEPLY abt personal hygiene esp when traveling
#solsticelore
Okay... all of them are actually really good with kids. But, of all of them, Khoi is the best of them. All of the gen 2 kids fucking LOVE him and G'raha so much. Like it's always "Where's Uncle Khoi?!" Cause he makes a HUGE effort to remember as much as he can about all of them.
