they’re pretty strong if you have enough, the smell also kind of rubs off on you if you cook long enough
Viktor Marshall - He smells spicy (something similar to Old Spice) otherwise his natural smell is like ozone and sweat due to him being a plasma savant who uses strength weapons.
Akane Satou - Considering that she dives for underwater treasures and venture to the Dark Sea, she could smell like a mixture of seawater and fish. However she wears a sweet smelling perfume mixed with pink apple, golden petal and belladonna flowers.
??? why does this topic exist ???
cuz immersion into an rpg game is the highest honor it can receive from regular players like us
you know, when people think “immersion” they usually dont think about how their character smells
but im not one to judge anyways

its nice little details like this that help build character depth yknow
My OC smells like cigarettes, tobacco, and marijuana. Despite probably not existing in the Arcane world, so instead they just smell like cursed mushrooms as a replacement.
Seawater (seawater bloodily stinks if you don’t know)
I like diving
- Vilmar Yiatzmat: Smells decent, he values hygiene and cleanliness alot and bathes very often after fighting.
- Percy Water: Smells like seawater, albeit little.
walk near this man and you get insanity 2
go on, explain to the marines why you have 3 kg of fucking lemongrass in your boots
also what do you mean “cook long enough” 
are you cooking the limbs with herbs in the clothes or something… I don’t get how the scent will ever get onto your characters to a noticeable extent. Characters can’t smell like herbs.
To be fair, during the black plague, doctors would put herbs in their masks because they thought the plague was brought on by bad smells. Clearly, if they were delusional enough to think that was some sort of cure or prevention strategy, the herbs must have had a pretty significant smell to them.
It must be a really big amount of herbs probably and they need to be smooched together to even create the slightest of scent. And not to mention how unconvenient that would be. So let’s just be realistic, no one will carry a solid block of dried herbs in their clothes just for the scent. Most herbs don’t even actually smell good, and it’s just hindering movement (which I believe would be more of a priority than scent for a game like ao). A lot of herbs also sting and create an unpleasant feeling in your clothes.
So to conculde, stop being delusional about your characters smelling like roses. They probably all smell like stinky sailors and not to mention how it’s actually fucking weird to make up shit about how you oc smells lmfao
Ok yeah ill agree with that lol
Absolute zero scent
Unsniffable
beach
You mean petrichor? I think that’s what it was called, the smell of an area where it’s rained recently.
Anyways, my characters… well, my character on my main file smells of seawater, blood, and whatever fumes the cauldron produces when used to brew potions (Blood, because he gets hurt frequently). Also, if what Magic someone has influences how they smell, whatever Crystal and Light Magic do. Plus sweat, when he hasn’t recently been swimming.
My Conjurer? Sweat, blood, seawater. Also, a little bit like dust/sand (I do believe that “dusty” is, in fact, a scent), because I imagine having Sand Magic “just does that” 
.
My final file smells like seawater, mint, and ink. I don’t know why that last one is the case, but my imagination says so. Mint is because of Ice Magic (unless something else is more appropriate relating to Ice), seawater covers up the scent of blood and sweat because this guy uses Sailor Fist, and is thus far more frequently exposed to seawater than either of my other characters.
Probably
my main would smell a little like petrichor (aka that smell of wet soil when it rains)
