As a general concept I haven't really fleshed out or set in stone what her Achilles heel would be and how she will meet her ultimate downfall. I'm sure it pays to flesh it out so I have a general idea what will happen but at this point in time I thought I'd rather leave it out for the time being and expand on it as I roleplay to get a better idea of what kind of roleplaying communities are out there already and gauge how or why they would affect her in the way it would affect her which will give me hints as to what kind of threat she will have to face. At the moment as I have no characters or interaction with Balmung Ishgard, everything is a bit of a blur and left for limited improvisation.
I will of course be dropping hints here and there so that roleplayers may pick up on those hints and eventually find out that the two people are actually one. It would be boring to let it go on forever and I'm all for it if she does eventually get killed by a Highlander zealots among many that might hunt her down. Ultimately though I would like to first try roleplaying with others and choose who I'll be giving those hints to. I don't want a random coming up to me and suddenly pick up all the hints and play Sherlock Holmes. When it's time to kill her off I will be happy to give out more obvious clues and that will ultimately bring her downfall. Public execution themed and Ishgardian Court themed Roleplay might also be interesting too in that regard haha. Re-enactment of Trial by Combat? Â
I'm now curious as to how he was advertising to people that he is who he was with a disguise. At most times I won't be portraying her as remotely related to Garlemald. I'm guessing he had a similar idea but I'm sort of curious as to how he went about it.Â
Biggest problem for me in that regard is probably that I don't know Balmung at all. Been meaning to make an alt there for the past weeks to try the waters but wasn't able to because Balmung never opens up for character creation. I have this community's testimony of how general roleplayers will react and some may turn to godmodding for the sake of it but I would still like to believe I'll encounter decent roleplayers who won't abuse the Diviniation Card.Â
With that said I've yet to flesh out the ideas for how or what the adventurer Sion would be doing once she's in Ishgard. How this experience away from home would influence and build her character would be an interesting thing to see. Will she ultimately become a turncoat like Lucia or walk another path is probably entirely up to how she perceive her experience while roleplaying there and the kind of people she comes across.
Haha thank you for clarifying that. Yes I figured it might have been a Black Shroud only thing as it wouldn't make much sense for the Elementals to allow a Padjal to be born so far away from the Black Shroud.... though that in itself might bring different ideas into the table.Â
What if there was a reason for a Padjal to be born outside the Black Shroud and willed by Elementals for a specific task or purpose?Â
Food for thoughts but rest assured, not an idea I would be interested in personally.

Quote:Padjals are pretty much limited to being a Black Shroud thing. The only [alive] Padjal who has ever left the forest has been Kan-E Senna, and that's because she was out and about as a political figure. Because Padjal are selected for their Hearer abilities, it's fairly safe to assume that a Garlean would like not be chosen because their ability to be a Hearer/competent Conjurer is nonexistant. :< ...now, the child of a Garlean and a power Hearer -could-, but that's a very big stretch and very unlikely.Â
