(Hi, I'm Diana. I RP several characters in #FFXIV. My main is a snarky, Geordie-Slang speaking, genderfluid Drow (yes, Drow) named Sha'dow Weaver. They're a Storm Captain with the Maelstrom, AGGRESSIVELY polyamorous, afflicted with the Spellplague AND Aether Sickness, and main RDM/MCH/DRK.⤵️
(Not an opposite, but Sha'dow does have a rival. Even if that person is **COMPLETELY** unaware of it.
Who is that, you ask? Let's let Sha'dow answer that themself!
"That'd be Drizzt Do' fuckin' Urden, like. Or Drizzt bloody Daermon N'a'shezbaernon-aye, whatever 'e's callin' hissel' 'is week. ⤵️

(Sha'dow has a piece of Ice Materia (a fragment from when Ysayle blew apart) that they meld into every neckpiece they wear... They have Ascilia's dagger they use on the rare occasion they go walking the Darkmans. Their Soul of the Black Mage is also locked in an ebony and silver box that Ascilia ⤵️
#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?

(That Sha'dow is an incredibly violent individual. There are moments of intense, **BRUTAL** violence, yes. But Sha'dow's first choice is always words, not weapons, healing, not harming, mending, not maiming.
All because I mostly write the tragic bits, not the quiet, in between bits🤣)

#wolqotd what small trait or throwaway line from your wol/oc of dialog would people run with and take out context?
(Such as the misconception that Estinien doesn't shower based on a line of dialog about his armor soaked in dragon blood)

(Since I *just* started shipping them as partners (thanks SE with your orchestra artwork!🤣)... STILL probably not. Sha'dow is respectful to Matoya, and they get along great. But let's be real... They're danger prone, constantly on the verge of dying, and Sha'dow and Shtola? 100% them, this song)

NEW: I spoke to Obsidian (Outer Worlds, Avowed, Fallout: NV) about how their games are written
They've heard "horror stories" of writers sidelined at other studios
Sawyer: At Obsidian, writers and area designers are "co-creators" who sculpt a game world together

(100% Sha'dow's blind right eye with the "scar" (it's the Duskwight twisting facial tattoo) twisting over it. Outside that, the fact they're nearly always dressed in Grape Purple, wearing the Meteor Survivor's Ring/Eternity Band, or riding around in the Regalia.)

(I'm Muscogee, and while I don't speak Muscogee (sadly, there are less than 400 native speakers left), something Sha'dow would say *in* Muscogee would be "Kvncvpketv" (gun-jup-ghee-duh), it means "Keep yourself humble."🥰)

For the PoC amongst us, post something in your native language that would be characteristic of your WoL if your WoL were from your culture or are from a subculture within your culture!
Or you can gpose them living that subculture/describe what they'd be like as one of you!

So, that out of the way, Sha'dow's version:🧵)
