Hello! I'm Vryn, seasoned RPer but new to FFXIV RP. I had a question pertaining to this symbol on the back of my character's neck and the events surrounding it before I considered using it in RP or not.
Now, by my understanding, it's a delightful little symbol to indicate that my character was at the Battle of Carteneau and then catapulted into the future after Louisoix saved my bacon. Is that correct? I assume it's irrelevant other than saying 'this guy is technically five years younger than the calendar (which reset) would dictate'.
What of the ramifications of the event, though? Am I right in thinking the rest of Eorza was fine after Bahamut's escape? I mean, there were obviously people about who maintained the cities in that five year space, and Bahamut ends up being 'defeated' shortly after Louisoix flings the survivors into the metaphorical DeLorean, doesn't he? Are the people there just basically saved from death by being given a temporal shunt, or is there other significance I don't quite understand?
Moving on from actual facts to creative ideas - was there any implication anywhere that this magic used to fling folk wasn't entirely predictable, or stable? Would it be unreasonable, say, for certain unforeseen factors (honestly not sure what to suggest, ideas welcome) to result in other people getting launched further forward than others? An idea I was mulling over was that theoretically my character could've shown up more recently, as opposed to when the others landed. What about possible side-effects of the jump? Did anybody end up coming out with something akin to scars or some kind of unusual trait-imprint of the spell other than the Legacy Mark?
Enlighten my naive mind, experienced players!
