Hello everyone, the forums have been more then helpful helping me with lore now I have a question asking if any of you have any ideas for this.
Normally I'm rather good at writing real life injuries into a character, I do my research and I normally get what I need. This time however I'm struggling a bit.
I am creating/have created a character who I'd like to have been injured at some point, the injury would've been a severe burn to a small portion of his body and broken leg at the time of said injury. Smaller injuries wen't along with this as it was a traumatic turning point in his life that kind of carries the rest of his story along. Probably some chest damage and the like. My situation here is, I would really like for him to have some serious damage done to the leg on that side. To the point where he may have a slight limp, and on really bad days acts up from time to time possibly during certain weather conditions or things of the like that I can use at points to kind of break the character down from being this massive unmovable, controlled force to; 'aye... I actually need to accept some help now and again so uh... can I get some help please?'Â He's pushing his mid 30's I'm sure his body responds to it more often then it would at his younger age.
Thing is. I can't figure out a injury in the FFXIV universe or out of it that corresponds? I'm no doctor, I WEB MD my way through about everything and most of the posts I find about injuries that prolong through a lifetime are mostly head traumas. Which I'm willing to go with but I was curious if anyone else had ideas. Something that can't be 'healed' or if healed still causes some form of discomfort over time?
I'd prefer to not get rid of the leg completely because I feel it would damage the character to much at the point psychologically. I want to break him down and give him a weakness but not, shatter him? If that makes any sense?
