I think you could probably class Nabriales as a voidsent if you really wanted to, but in essence he's a different class of creature (almost certainly dating back before the Thirteenth became the Void, therefore not "voidsent"). I wouldn't consider him one.

I wonder what shard Igeyorhm is from, why she was sent to the Thirteenth, and what her relationship with Nabriales was like during and after her operations...

I also think it'd be really interesting to see better documented the process of "becoming Voidsent" from the starting point of being a regular living creature. Presumably there's some way Eorzean scholars learned of the original form of voidsent which are specifically mentioned as being believed to once have been people?

Also, we know the Allagans successfully developed methods of creating voidal flesh and fusing it to "normal" flesh, so presumably there is a method documented on some Eso tomestone or something somewhere about how that was created. Plus it has really interesting implications on its own:

Show Content
ChimerasNaga
[...] Naturalists now know that the aberrations are actually chimeras pieced together in a Third Astral Era laboratorium from the limbs of voidsent summoned to this realm by godless Allagan aetherochemists. Records claim that they created the naga for no other reason than to discern whether such grafting and splicing of voidal flesh was, in fact, possible.

Empuse
Using knowledge gained in the creation of the naga, Allagan aetherochemists ultimately succeeded in cloning flesh that, for all intents and purposes, was identical to that from creatures of the void despite being grown entirely on this plane. [...] Weapons division scientists fused it with antling tissue. [...]

And... I admit I'm not that read up on this, but I was lead to understand that some of the creatures you meet in the Void Ark / Weeping City used not to be denizens of the 13th, but voidmages of Mhach? If that's true, presumably the process of "becoming Voidsent" could have been documented there, too?

I assume tonberries aren't classified as voidsent by any measure despite the origin of their transformation, since not only did Raimdelle classified them as Spoken, but they don't exhibit any... uh. Aether-hunger, I guess?

I think that's what I'd consider the two defining characteristics of a voidsent - hailing from (and/or drawing power from, maybe?) the 13th in some form; and chronic aether deficiency (presenting as an "aether addiction" which, like all terrible and untreated addictions, consumes the personality of the person in question until all that's left is the quest for the object of the addiction).

I'm completely rambling and none of this has any bearing on my RP, I just find it really interesting. xD
