Huh. I didn't even know it was a legend. I'm still missing Charibenet and Sea Butterfly from HW, but I've had this one forever. 😅
Today is a momentous day in FFXIV fishing history!
Bobgoblin Bass takes the podium sweep for downtimes, with a 38 day downtime starting now. It knocks Cinder's recent 32 day vacation out of third place.
This is the 2nd longest downtime of any fish in #FFXIV.

Darien's probably a... 3? He has some experience in the kind of tactics that might be useful for stealth, but generally, he has zero interest in hiding.
Qhora's a 9. She might fuck up now and then, but generally, if she doesn't want to be found, you won't find her.

How stealthy can your OC be on a scale from 1-10?
1 being as obvious as the sun next to you.
10 being as obvious as finding a needle in outer space.

Distraction. Darien has historically handled despair extremely poorly, but he's been forced to learn how to cope. Sometimes he'll let himself wallow still, but usually, he's got a list of things he can do that will stop his mind spinning and sometimes actually make him feel better.

How does your wol / oc handle depression or depressive thoughts? Do they have someone (or something) to rely on? Isolation?

Pull Darien aside, away from an audience, and tell him it would mean a lot to you. In front of an audience, he'll never concede. But even if he actively dislikes you, if you make a seemingly genuine effort to convince him, he'll at least hear you out. "Fuck off" is always on the table, though.

Darien cannot be killed. Well, he can, but it won't stick. He hates talking about it, which is the only reason it's a secret.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.
Darien's stacks are organized chaos. Mostly, he doesn't keep books because he doesn't stay in one place long, so he collects a few, reads them, then sells them, but inevitably, he either doesn't read/sell them all and because he's been in one place longer than ever now, his current pile is massive.
Because I've been thinking about how my WoL organizes his library, this is for the book hoarders! What's in your WoL/OC's collection? Do they have a system for organizing it or is it utter chaos?

Darien has a couple. I'm not sure where the book of fairy tales ended up. But the one that has come up several times over the years is his set of keys. Each unlocks a lock that no longer exists and reminds him of someone. He loaned them out once and they were stolen and it was An Ordeal.
#wolqotd Does your wol/oc have a keepsake from someone? A reminder of love? Vengeance? Hate? Have they given one to someone else? How would they handle losing it/breaking it?

Darien's body might be the only part of himself he never feels the need to question. Intellect? Constantly degraded. Emotions? Clearly a problem. Memory? Completely fucked up. Body? Does exactly what he needs it to do at all times, even and especially under duress. Highly reliable. 10/10

How does your WOL/OC feel about their body? Are they comfortable in their own skin? Is there any part of them they prefer to hide away or show off?

This is part of why Darien doesn't touch healing IC, and tends to walk around the company house bleeding on things because He's Fine. "Let me walk it off." But considering how much /I/ force him to heal... myehehe😈
healers get to be a little fucked up and scary too, as a treat

I thought about it too much. Darien's nightmares tend to start as standard post-traumatic violence, but inevitably... THEY show up.
And things get worse.
War hurt his body. History hurt his mind.
Everyone he ever loved scarred his heart.
