Ivelios (and Nailo) both came from Pathfinder v1, and while their combat builds are slightly different, plus minor story tweaks between game settings, their personalities and stories both are basically the same.
Alternatively, all my Viera have existed solely in XIV.

Ivelios scared? Never!
Truthfully? He's terrified of knowing his fate and being bound to it, specifically terminal illness, having watched his mother succumb to it, and very nearly sharing her fate as well. Veli's not afraid of death, but he wants to go on his terms

An FFXIV Elezen in armor relaxes in a stately parlor with stained crystal windows and books, where he plays a grand piano against the sunlight coming through the windows. He has short white messy hair and wears dark blue armor with gold plating.

I'm playing this song and
Thinking of you with
These keys and my dreams, we
Could make music, together
You and I
A song, rhythm melody
We dream with these keys
You and I

A man kneels in the center of a chamber leading to the Sanctum of the Twelve. The gates are barred to him. It rains outside, and faint light illuminates the stained glass windows above him and the symbols of the Twelve from the other side of the gates. The man bows his head as if under a great weight.

An FFXIV duskwight Elezen stands against a carved stone pillar, smiling gently for the camera. The area is brightly lit by daylight. He has gray skin, bright green eyes, and short, messy white hair with lavender highlights. He wears a dark gray cardigan over a light gray knit shirt, round-framed glasses, and various jewelry, his hand held up to his chin.

Sometimes his face just keeps me afloat.
Also, Veli finally made it to EW, I hope the screenshots aren't too spoilery, I settled for the less scenic shots for sharing

Two FFXIV male Duskwight Elezen stand against a blurred Ala Mhigo. The Elezen in the foreground has long white hair tied back, wears a dark green uniform, and grins as he points to the other. The second Elezen in the midground has short white hair, wears worn mercenary garb, and has a longbow strapped to his back as he glances back over his shoulder with a neutral expression.

One Elezen has short white hair, and wears worn mercenary garb and a longbow on his back; he has the second Elezen in a headlock. The second Elezen wears a dark green uniform and his long white hair is tied back; his arms flail as he's put into the headlock, a look of surprised annoyance on his face.

I forgot to tag these T oT;; I was not awake when I shared them. Also, there was no lighting done in these because I was very sleepy when I took them

Beet soup reminds Veli of his first husband Morda'vik, a traditional Ishgardian man. It was also the first dish they prepared when they bought their first house
#WoLAnswers #VeliLore #ffxiv
I honestly haven't answered this because I'm terrified of what might fall out of Ivelios' pockets!
But if Ezzek were shaken clean, one might find an old bonding ring, an old and worn engraving of an Auri-viera child, and memory crystals, so many memory crystals
#EzzLore #WoLAnswers #VeliLore
Ivelios started ARR at 28, but I have lore written in for him even before that, including his arrival in Ul'dah at 25. I haven't reached DT yet, but as of the start of EW, Veli is 32 going on 33, which also puts his brother Nailo at 32 into 36-37
#WoLAnswers #VeliLore #NailoLore #GazthdenBoys
Ivelios started out Pugilist, prone to impulsive fisticuffs, and it mostly suited him, until he met his first husband. So he took up conjury, and did well with it. But Veli can't sit still, and after rediscovering his family love for music, took up dancing to keep moving

#VeliLore
Veli had picked up lancer briefly very early on, but after learning Foulques' story and realizing it could have easily been himself, he abandoned the lance for a long while, to return later in Foulques' honor. To this day, he still keenly feels the stigma against Duskwight and Foulques
Foulques of the Mist
Ivelios Gaz'thden of Mor Dhona
He deserved better

Time for some #VeliLore in the replies!
Still a WIP because my lunch break ended, but character of the day, Foulques! Also featuring Ivelios, for #Duskwight reasons
I will finish this some more and post again later, with some added #VeliLore

I kinda mostly associate Elezen with antelope (more than giraffe) but like.... Ivelios is a silly borzoi pupper haha
#WoLAnswers #VeliLore #ffxiv
Yeah exactly! Ivelios specifically was just a mishmosh
'braids and hair beads are culturally significant'
'oh his people are more likely to live on or near water'
'he's a slut, but he has standards, and he will end up liking elegant clothes but he'll always be ruffian at heart'
Etc
#VeliLore
Veli sounds an Irish boy, with a mix of diction from his lowborn swamprat background, to highbrow language he picked up in his information brokering with merchants and nobility. He's very fond of throwing in Mor Dhonan idioms unexpectedly
"We ain't guttin' mudpuppies here~"
#VeliLore #WoLAnswers
Fun fact: Ivelios canonically has a thing for older men, apparently. He used to think he was just into big guys, but then he met his husbun. Turns out the common denominator was just age.
#VeliLore #ffxiv
Veli hates BLM. He hates being immobile, and the most immobile class at his current progression is and has always been BLM. He picked it up to try training his use of black magic to better understand RDM, but he hardly touches it if he doesn't have to otherwise. His glam tho 👌
#WoLAnswers #VeliLore
Ivelios and Nailo have white hair with a blue undertone, but occasionally Veli will dye his hair black for glams.
Ezzek's hair is naturally black, but because of the influence of his parent A'hari, Ezzek loses his color when exhausted/stressed or in unfamiliar forms

Answered from the perspective of Ivelios, and yeah, that checks out!

I don't have new GPose or art to share.
But I have been wanting to share some of this set; Veli and his baefriend A'hari (played by @doomloaf.bsky.social) spent time enjoying a fireworks festival last summer and then a private moment of intimacy the next morning
#Miqote #Elezen #GPose #VeliLore
Okay, think I'm settled out of this particular scene, got me itch scratched, haha. With @lilmallow.bsky.social
Veli and Haf doing a bit of social learning too and all that, discussing their motivations and what keeps them growing

Veli turned out to be a natural dancer. Song was always important to his family, and he learned to bard as his brother and father before him, but Veli has always been an agile weaver on the field of battle and on the club floor. Only later did he take formal lessons

I had to go find the Gazth'den boys! Hailing from Mor Dhona originally, they trace their lineage back to the Yafaem Saltmoor. Before Carteneau, Nailo left for Gridania. Some few years later, Veli attempted to follow, but Ixal drove him to escape into Thanalan instead.
