So goes darkness.▪️

My OC @corvid-lullaby

Not the WoL, but rather a once kind yet introvertive Ancient who the WoL unwittingly harmed and caused his downfall. The sundering doesn't go well with his body due to the self mutilation and soul experimentation he puts himself through. In the end, he's reduced to an abomination. A fusion of himself with his past creations relating to death, and a mind wiped with memory but still holding a seething hatred of -to him- an unknown origin towards the WoL.

Someone on my other blog @finalfantasyxivwritings asked about Hades' height and how he compared to an average Amaurotian as well as the wol, so I got some pictures for comparison's sake!

The heights are as follows in centimeters, inches, and 'scale' against my wol:

Samilen (min height male viera): 172 cm / 67.7 in / 1.0 scale

Amaurotian: 430 cm / 169.3 in / 2.5 scale

Hades (1st form): 619.2 cm / 243.7 in / 3.5 scale

Hades (2nd form): 774 cm / 304.7 in / 4.6 scale

And in case any of you are absolute thirsty heathens like me have some extra measurements under the cut:

The Extra™ measurements are as follows:

Samilen (min height male viera): 12.9 cm / 5.1 in

Amaurotian: 32.3 cm / 12.7 in

Hades (1st form): 46.4 cm / 18.3 in

Hades (2nd form): 58.1 cm / 22.9 in

regarding the Eorezan Q's: 9, 15 (the sharlayan one), 17, 19, and 22 for Deidre? Caelen too, if you'd like to answer for him as well!

9. How well does your character treat animals?

They both treat animals very well, regardless of their purpose. Livestock isn’t going to get coddled or anything, but they definitely aren’t mean to any animals.

15. How does your character view magic?

Magic is a tool to Deidre, something used to help and hurt in equal measure, just as much a weapon as her sword. To Caelen it’s more of a study and a sense (like sight). He doesn’t summon in battle typically, the only time he’s ever done so outside of working with Y’mhitra was when he rushed to keep his sister from fighting Tsukuyomi alone. Aetherically, shifts in the balance are a sense akin to touch

17. How would your character react if they discovered a likeable acquaintance was Garlean? Violently? With suspicion? Or would they ignore it altogether?

They would both ignore it really, the Garleans they’ve known in Eorzea are people who have abandoned the Empire for one reason or another, and they can relate to running away from one’s upbringing.

19. Do you think your character would cope well under the scathing heat of the desert for a few weeks?

No. The Shroud is no stranger to heat and humidity but they are used to a great deal of shade and heavy rains that wash the air clean, neither of which can be found in Ul’dah. They could take the dry heat for a while but they are not happy about it. The climate in Mor Dhona may be a bit fucked up with the calamity along with the landscape, and it may be in the valley on the other side of the mountain she grew up on, but Deidre is very glad the Scions moved base to  climate she was raised in.

22. Does your character have a mean streak?

Most people would say that Deidre does not have a mean streak. The Exarch and Deidre’s cousins would say she does. That is because they have wronged her personally (just. the whole lying when she’s made it clear he can come clean. going to base one where she has no choice but to play the hero on expectation like in ARR. She has a very personally bad time with him. +her cousins are racist bullies to her half siblings and she absolutely hit the oldest one in the face with a hot iron pan for trying to ‘correct’ Prudence’s ear shape when they were kids). She will also be snippish and hold grudges (see *looks at things i haven’t published yet* her interactions with Papalymo). Not that many people have cause to see her being vindictive and wrathful as a base interaction but the ones who do get it.

Caelen didn’t grow up having to really be mean or defensive because Deidre and Brandon tended to take care of that growing up. He’s not very confrontational.
