#3 and #23 for oc ask meme!!

3. What is your OC's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?

i suppose a fatal flaw would be that he will absolutely do deranged, dangerous stuff because it's exciting, and he doesn't fear death at all. he believes people are absolutely free to do whatever they want as long as they are willing to deal with the consequences*. he unnecessarily almost died for no reason at the end of the universe and doesn't regret it. he has discovered how to eat all kind of poisonous things out of experimentation and is very proud of it. he was pretty sure the exarch's plan of dealing with the lightwardens was definitely heading towards either of their deaths and was very impressed with the sheer balls of it nonetheless. if you do something with style he's 70% more likely to forgive you, if he's even angry with you in the first place

a related, secondary flaw is the fact he doesn't tell people shit because it doesn't occur to him. the scions still don't know about the mhachi raids. one of them is gonna see the little miqo'te twins running around gridania and do a spit take some day. what do you mean he's probably a grandfather. he's a white mage? since WHEN (since hw). alisaie will find out he's been a red mage since the end of shb and scream

he is aware of both things because he does them, but he also does not consider them flaws at all, so...

*sometimes the consequences are him

and freebie because 23 is already answered!

24.What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?

i have some ideas of what louisoix's spell actually did, so if some of the others had become The wol, i think mitr'a would still have come to gridania and become a bard and the other azure dragoon, still hissed at estinien, and mostly have become one of the people the wol would call on sometimes to clear raids. probably take on some of the sidequests (hw ones especially)

mostly, he'd be a secondary character that appears sometimes. he would be still be happy and a great botanist, but probably never reach quite the level of emotional connection wol!mitr'a has
