I would actually become upset if SE dropped a lore bomb that drastically affected my character? I wouldn't, ultimately it isn't that big of a deal because despite how some aspects of the character are pretty solid there's really nothing that could happen to him at this point that would ruin the character's narrative and story continuity due to extensive pre-planning beforehand. On a side note, your example would be an entirely unique 'style' in the wide world of martial pursuits, though I can appreciate your intent.
My point is to get you to talk about your character in specifics and in detail rather than express the same platitudes about headcanon and working with the creative tools you're given which, I assure you, the majority of the RPC community knows. Thank you for doing so!
Quote:On to your question, though. I would say that his psychology wouldn't change nor would need to change. He's been out of the Temple Knights for nearly 6-7 years, at this point and having left under rather 'curious' circumstances his entire life away from Ishgard has been one of having to be someone he necessarily isn't. It would be of practically little-to-no effort to shift the narrative from the training necessitating his mental state to his circumstances being the reasons for it. Again, this comes from a lot of pre-planning and from using real life historical representations of both martial arts and psychology. =)
This discussion is pretty enjoyable, so far!
What circumstances would cause this mental state? If the training did not have the particular impact that it does in-game, and has some other affect (unique or not, given that this is a fantasy setting and this can, thoughtcrime though this may be on my part, indicate that not everything is based in real-life historical reresentations) on his personality, what would that be?
