ask me questions about the boy <3

2, 4, 5, 8, 9

oh man

well

13,19,29!

feel free to pile on me as well in return. XD

SamuraiMarmoset:
2. Viera Black Mage!
4. As of the conclusion of Endwalker, he is 47. This is the subject of much joking in-character, I'm sure, given that it makes him the oldest Scion who isn't F'lahminn.

5. Taiki is a soft-hearted idiot who loves carbuncles and has a legendarily bad temper. Very sweet and would give you the clothes off his back if you needed them, but also needs to occasionally be restrained or shepherded by at least two comrades at all social functions lest his mouth get him into trouble.

8. At this point he'd be happy with the world staying saved for at least ten minutes he is so tired please let him have a vacation

9. As it turns out adventuring itself is a fairly lucrative business if you can hack it but he's also notoriously bad with money and pretty perpetually broke. His formative years were spent in an isolated village that didn't trade, so he doesn't attach too much importance to money.

denouements: 13. Bunny likes big boom. That said, he's fairly comfortable wherever he's needed, and he's taken on various duties through Dark Knight, White Mage, and Machinist or Dragoon, from time to time.

19. Wishes he had time for it!
He's been harboring a Thing for G'raha for a while now but shit just keeps happening and it's just never a good time to bring it up :c

Loxagn: isn't that always the way with a WoL

29. Due to the events at the end of ARR he spent most of Heavensward waiting for the next betrayal. He kept Haurchefant at arm's length until the man died in his arms. He (and I) completely misjudged Haurchefant's character and never once trusted him... until it was too late.

denouements: yeah :c

oh wow that's so sad re: 29 T_T

based pretty entirely on my own reaction to him :c

He was too nice.

Nobody's that nice. it had to be an act.

10 & 11

I play in Japanese so I got WoL-sexual Haurche, which meant that my WoL and I had a very different reaction to him. But that's so SAD for your boy ;;

mariscorner: 10. Pizza! When they visited Sharlayan, his friends demanded that he try it and he fell in love, I'm afraid.
To be fair, though. Pizza.

11. His worst fear, for the longest time and something he's honestly only recently come to grips with, has been his own longevity. Viera live... a lot longer than most of the other races on Hydaelyn.

He's so incredibly fond of the Scions, and a lot of rationalization for being isolationist in viera culture is like
'it doesn't benefit you to form attachments to them. their lives come and go in the blink of an eye, what will you do when the friend you made when you were thirty finds his youthful vigor all but spent at fifty-five?'

the fact is that unless he gets himself killed, he's looking at centuries without them. not thoughts he's fond of.

I feel like these are bouncing back and forth between upbeat! quirky! fun! and like
some deeply sad shit

whoops

the boy is pushing fifty and still very young
