Arkin has an older sister, Ryn (played by @thecopperriver.bsky.social). She left home to become an adventurer when Arkin was an adolescent, and got so good at it she was the OG Warrior of Light and her family lost their memories of her after the Calamity. 1/

He reacted like Azem would - with curiosity. Even in the midst of dealing with the Light, Arkin couldn't help but be pulled by the mystery of the past. (Even if he wondered if that made him an Ascian, in part)
Later, it fuelled an intense desire to know/remember as much as he could.

A list of 30 questions about one's OTP. Pick a number between 1-30 and I'll answer it.
Hmm sure I'm game! Arkin/G'raha or Arkin/X'rhun if you're feeling spicy (and want to force me to come up with something π) Like or comment with a number πββ¬π

Arkin sleeps like the dead when he gets to it. He is prone to snoring if in an awkward position. He sleeps naked and wrapped around his pillow/bed partner if given half a chance. It's probably equal parts endearing and annoying haha
#arkinposting
He's attractive. He turns heads. It helps that he's also a pretty humble and helpful guy; his charisma is through the roof. I think he has some awareness of it (and he definitely fucks) but he has a lot going on so the stress of being the WoL kind of keeps his head on straight π
#arkinposting
Arkin is allo and bi (though more often chooses to partner with men)
I think all my XIV OCs are bi/pan (and so am I)... just hard for me to imagine otherwise I guess π
#arkinposting
Arkin is coffee-curious to the extreme. He's a pourover guy, wants all the tasting notes, and if process/ingredient is specific to a region or culture he's getting that immediately.
G'raha drinks black coffee too but he's not fussy about the origin, he just wants the caffeine boost.
#arkinposting
The more I think about it, the less I can imagine Arkin doing that without explicit consent (i.e. after G'raha is fully awake). And I don't think G'raha says he wants it right away, either.
Which means Arkin has to face possibly never seeing the Exarch, his love, again.

Arkin's central kink revolves around loss of control. He has spent most of his life having to temper his strength, watch his words, and be a perfect hero so giving that up to the safekeeping of another is paramount.

#WoLGrahaWeek2025 Day 5: Music
Have an extremely sappy playlist I made ages ago for red cat romance (especially post 5.3). I've shared my ShB one and WoL-specific one before but this one is fluffier <3

WoL inspo chart. Center picture is of Arkin and the surrounding pictures are characters that influence his character. Clockwise from top left: Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), Uchiha Sasuke (Naruto), Ashitaka (Mononoke Hime), Westley (The Princess Bride), Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist), Van Fanel (Escaflowne).
Finally figured this out for myself. Combo of visuals, magic/curses, charming but serious personality, smart but reckless...

Praise for being the Warrior is received with a smile on his face and the knowledge it's his duty to be a vessel for people's gratitude.
Praise for being himself is entirely a different thing. Very welcome but rare in his experience.

Art (head and shoulders) of Arkin getting absolutely wrecked by the Exarch, whose hands are visible in the shot. Arkin is drooling slightly, with a huge blush and tears in his eyes and a few love marks on his neck. There's the tiniest bit of rope visible in the shot too!
"You've been so good for me, love."
Thank you so much @nephiam.art for the gorgeous gorgeous artwork of my boy getting absolutely β¨wreckedβ¨
Still a top!Exarch truther account here πββοΈ

Screenshot of a bath constructed from blue crystal and marble with gold filigree, built in an FFXIV apartment space. The back of the bath features a throne-like seating area which Arkin is lounging on in a revealing outfit.
Made a Crystal Tower-themed bath in my apartment for no reason at all π

New WHM glam for Arcadion and beyond! I'll never get tired of this twink

Arkin is usually a bit evasive/reserved about his feelings but becomes very direct when he's turned on. His tail swishes also slow right down, and he speaks more slowly and pitched down, as if entranced. He gets totally locked in hehe

Bondage/restraint, control, pain (receiving).
#arkinposting
To be able to let go/lose himself. Whether it's restraint or control or being able to go wild, he just needs to get out of his head. #arkinposting
I did it as myself and as Arkin and got the same result π€¦ββοΈI am predictable I guess!
