And thus does my final goal of Endwalker get completed

Which was, ironically, completing the base Shadowbringers MSQ on Dahkar. I was aiming for catching him up entirely to Dawntrail, but there just wasn't enough time for that. Ah well.

The Old Man's positioned in Radz-At-Han to dump poetics and then begin the Dawntrail MSQ, not-at-all-appropriate glamour ready to go. We're gonna look massively out of place, and I'm all for it.

Aleister’s younger self would knowingly nod. Of course he would still be with Gwen! But….why does she have rabbit ears now?

Dahkar would be thoroughly surprised, since as a boy he and his mother were the only au ra around. He knows from his mother’s stories there are more out there but they always seemed so far away. Older Dahkar isn’t telling him about the others he and Yugiri occasionally share their bed with tho. Best to let younger Dahkar discover that on his own.

Younger Fearless would absolutely burst into tears. She has not one, but TWO girlfriends? She escaped from her parents and their attempts to marry her off to some son of a business partner? This is all she ever wanted but thought she would never have. The weeping for joy will only increase when she finds out that her older self is a master of two magical disciplines. It means she’s not as stupid and useless as her parents have called her.

How would your wol(oc)'s younger self react to your wol(oc)'s partner(s)?

So….who’s gonna give job to their WoLs?

(in headcanon I mean I know we’re all gonna play it)

Whatever the caster is I’ll probably have Dahkar pick it up cause he’s the only one without one.

Based on the vibes of this trailer my immediate thought is to give it to Rheika. It seems to fit her overall better than Ninja does. The others have a melee job more strongly tied to their stories and identities.

Pokemon Gym Leader Aleister

To the shock of absolutely no one, Aleister would absolutely be leading a Steel Gym.

His roster was mostly easy to pick, just go for a combination of mechanical Pokemon and a couple of really tough fighters in Aggron and Lucario to go with them. Most likely Lucario would be his companion, but in all honesty, he probably would keep all six of them outside a pokeball 90% of the time, especially in his gym. His Pokemon absolutely have the run of the place.

27. How did the events of Shadowbringers impact them? 

Thanks for the ask Lyn!

So Rheika did all of the 5.0 MSQ alone, save for the final battle with Hades when G'raha brought her brothers and sister over to help. The experience was up there with the worst days of her life. The light did all of the usual poisoning things to her, but it also killed her Libido. All of those symptoms faded after the Hades battle, but the psychological scars are still there. Anytime she feels slightly ill or not-particularly-amorous, she will be constantly checking her reflection for signs of light poisoning until she's able to get the rational part of her brain to come back online. Aleister and Dahkar have still not forgiven G'raha for separating her from the rest of them. It's not impossible that they might some day, but they're protective of their little sister-slash-team leader. Also Fearless got bored and learned Thaumaturgy while Rheika and the Scions were on the First. Okay, that's a gross oversimplificaiton, more like, she desired to learn a magic art just to prove to herself she could choose something and be good at it rather than be told she should try it and then end up being good at it. Anyway, now she's a Black Mage. Or rather, THE Black Mage.

Taking some screens of the new outfit while waiting for Alliance raid party finder to fill out

[thebmatt]

tis is the oldest photo I have of the Old Man. Yeah, he was a Roegadyn. I also gave him that terrible haircut intentionally. I didn’t expect I’d enjoy this game so much.

But I did. And when I enjoy a game where I create my own character, I start giving them elaborate backstories. And having him be a Roegadyn wasn’t quite fitting.

So I changed him

This is him now. Yeah he’s kind of a Godbert clone, but that’s the best way I could find to make a good looking older Hyur.

This is the oldest screenshot I have of Rheika. She actually began life as Dahkar, who I changed to a miqo’te on a challenge I gave to myself to fantasia as another race for a month. That month came and went and I loved her so much that I kept her as one. This is when the 4-WoL canon I developed that I still have today came about.

This is my newest screenshot of her, and it shows the only change I’ve made to her, which is trying out this haircut.

Speaking of Dahkar, here is his earliest screenshot. Nothing much, just my first attempts at using Gpose. As you can see, I am bad at it at this point!

And this is my last one of Dahkar before I changed him to Rheika. Back when he was the canon red mage. Nothing changed about him at all in terms of his looks.

I would really like to recreate him someday, if for no other reason than to do more screenshots, but I haven’t had the mental bandwidth to level the whole of the MSQ (again) or the spare funds to boost him through it with his three canon jobs.

This is the first screenshot I took of Fearless, who was the last person on the team I came up with, shortly after entering Limsa for the first time

And this is her now. As you can see, I changed her hair, both cut and color, and gave her the black eye stripe. After deciding to make her a Black Mage, I wanted to try and change her look up a bit, and I settled on this. Most of her outfits now incorporate a fair amount of black

I want more WoLs on my dash. Reblog this with the oldest picture you have of your WoL/OC, and then the newest photo you have of them. Show off what changed! Did they change race? Gender? Hair color? Hair style? Tell me about it!
