#now filled with the desire to tell stories of their blorbos with diseased names

[alicelufenia]

Thinking back to all the FF14 fanfictions I've read starring unnamed Warriors of Light, who are clearly based on the author's character

Playing a fun game of guessing whether they leave them unnamed

as a stylistic choice to let others self-insert their WoLs better into the story (heroes)

as a way to avoid getting found in game and potentially harassed (unfortunate but understandable)

or because a protagonist named "Tanties McFacefister" might make your npcwol drama hard to take seriously (tragic but please consider?)
