Hydaelyn Role-Players

Let's go waaaaaaaay back to early in the sylphs part of the MSQ. A certainly little fuckshit betrayer named Laurentius. After the whole deal with the Garleans he calls down on your head, a man who goes by the pseudonym of Ghost would've just shot the fucker in the back and short-circuited a few things later on down the line.

I think a lot of people do.

Just in 2.5 alone, I know for a fact Memenu would be caving skulls in due to the amount of fury she felt for seeing the Sultana die right in front of her.

Of course, this alone would've triggered one hell of a witchhunt on her due to obvious reasons.

Chiyo may not want anything to do with Minfilia or even the elezan lad (I forgot his name) after this. As much as she wants to do good, she's through being their errand girl and would resent the WoL title, especially after

Also, Telluride brought up a good point on another thread:

Spoiler....the WoL, who was not at all poisoned, or physically affected during that final scene, simply watching Ilberd, who really is just a scrub in comparion, attack Raubahn. The WoL is held by just a few regular old soldiers - soldiers who should fall like shot ducks within seconds should the WoL decide to fight back. But no - our selfless hero, who has handled EVERY fight challenge so far, must be CHOOSING to do nothing at all while every guilty party in the whole Uldah conspiracy shows up at the same place, kills Nanamo, and pins the blame on the apparent Invalid of Light.

I get the impression the WoL loses all his powers when he loses his weapon. Like everything he's remotely capable of is stuffed into that book. Or axe. Or lance. Or whatever. Without it, he's some kind of mushroom.

I can't imagine Qhora would break the plot too much. She likes to play along on the surface and meddle in the background. I could come up with ways for her to do so, and maybe I should in light of the creative exercise, but she's more likely to find a way to actually be the things she's accused of, whether they go wrong or right. Actually, all that stuff you're desperate to show everyone wasn't me? That was me!

Heh, glad something like this has come up.

My character would have quite the few divergences to say the least.

Elidibus: "Have the laws of man grown so twisted in my absence that it is now permitted to lay hands upon an emissary?"

Koporo: "Yerp."
 

Well, this is my personal one here and a little vengeful. 

The major derail would happen during the Ishgard/airship/Garuda questline.
Leanne tries to be very, very, -very- nice. Unfortunately, that would make her a little passive in a lot of things, pretty much like the WoL.

BUT. She'd snap sometime at Ishgard. There's being understanding, aand there's being clearly sabotaged by a stupid inquisitor.

Drillemont: "We believe, Leanne, now-"

Evil Inquisitor: "Distrust her, she's evil!"

Drillemont: "OMG I shall distrust you! Vanish from my sight."

Leanne: *eye twitch*

At this time I have only played through MSQ original bit, but I can already say that Zali would have punched a lot of people in the face for being obvious evil people, looking at you evil merchant from uldah, you ifrit freak.

That said she is possibly nice enough to do errands and join scions, compensated of course, though not just nod at everything

Finally she'd have gone "you know what baelsar, you are right", leave him to burn while commandeering only the disabled ultima weapon out of the fortress, going onto rule and prevent most, if not all stupid stuff to come, as this thread hints.

Yes.  That was the part where Liadan would have finally lost her shit and started throwing people off towers.  ._.

If we are simply talking Eligor in the story as the WoL PERSONALITY wise with none of his actual story character development that takes place around the same time frame....he honestly would not be that different. At least up until after he faces down Ifrit. At that point he would start questioning every little thing.

Wtf is going on here? Why doesnt anyone else do anything worthwhile? WHY THE FUCK DO THEY CALL ME TO TELL ME TO COME TALK TO THEM? Why is the leader an idiot?

This would likely eat at him until he gets to Cape Westwind, at which point the knowledge that he was being used as the MOST IMPORTANT PIECE in what wa essentially a campaign in multiple places along with the growing irritation and inkling that he was being used would come to their breaking point, and he would surprise switch sides.

I imagine that the Garleans probably wouldnt be too happy about this however seeing has he has already massacred like....hundreds of them by this point, so after being the main reason operation Archon FAILS he would veer off and basically be on the run, looking into ways to gain more strength to protect himself and understand the nature of the primals more intimately.

Ultimately he wouldnt really be able to find much, as his source of information(The many npcs associated with the Scions and the GCs) was effectively cut off with his betrayal, leaving him to either Ally with one of the primals knowing they could not temper him, or fighting a war of survival by his lonesome until he was finally hunted down, outmaneuvered, and then most likely murdered.

A Garlean that might still be loyal to the Empire.

>_>; .... That's Clive Stark, one of the alts I RP the MSQ with.

"jade go do this big thing" says anyone ever

"i don't really want to bye" and then all of eorzea burned while jade robbed houses and made chairs.

All joking aside I do have plans for how I'm going to roleplay on my Au Ra character.

When I get to the 2.55 end on Nekhii (who i plan on doing more RPing as the WoL than I did on Jade since he's not the hero type) he just kinda breaks from guilt after having to do so much fighting for so long and he winds up giving up fighting to learn healing instead which is a long journey for him. More than enough to derail things for quite a while as he learns the arts of the astrologian.

Not from the MSQ, but something I noticed recently:

Seldi would have grabbed Edda before she could fall off the ledge. Poor girl went off the deep end, sure, but that doesn't mean she's not worth saving.

Jana would have grabbed Gaius herself, assuming she ever made it that far. ICly, I've placed her as having been with the Immortal Flames during Operation Archon, but not with Derplander in the Praetorium.
