Something I want to build on with vincent at some point is how much the years of being an adventurer has taken a toll on him. he spent so long just being angry at the world but as he gets closer and closer to carteneau he does start recognizing how reckless he's been and the mistakes he's made over the years. friendships (especially with layla and nhea) helping him get a little closer to how he used to be before finally stopping and trying to do better for himself when he loses his leg. and the fact that guilt has really solidified in him to still make him push himself in his healing rather than combat (though sometimes still pushing himself too far) and how the years of treating himself like a weapon have taken a toll on his mind (he has terrible nightmares that only a select few have been able to help him through it)

#look at me building on vincent more #though this stuff isn't actually new and i'm pretty sure i've mentioned some of it before #but i'd like to round it out more #like nhea being his first friend after leaving gridania that wasn't just a one off working together #or how his and gaius's relationship started because of that mutual understanding of wanting to be better even if their reasons differed #little things like that mainly because i honestly really like how. varied his personality can be #he's usually really calm and collected but now and then he makes some really reckless moves that's more akin to his WoL days #finding ways to make the nightmares easier to more avoidable ranging from meditation to a good solid support at his back #the support being a literal wall sometimes when he was still traveling alone or sharing a cot with gaius when he joins up with them #that bit of safety making a bigger difference than he would've expected though it's not always perfect #i have had thoughts on the zodiark fight because he gets stuck as a tank with a weapon he's not overly familiar with #and that ends up with his leg getting busted up and cid and nero being a little too busy to fix it so he's relegated to helping other ways #which would tie in my idea of his crutches being able to act as a conjurer's staff >:3 #my little moon expedition team ends up being the main squad of raya nhea layla and vincent #not sure where einar is at the time since he was in garlemald maybe staying back to help people? probably?#but yea it's 2 monks a white mage and a lancer with a gunblade so goes about as well as you'd expect lol #raya and nhea are both paladins as well so i guess technically one of them could tank instead but hey #this wasn't supposed to be a ramble in the tags kinda post but here we are
