KABOOM! Baseless Head-Canons [SPOILERS]

[Twailaith]

That said ever since my 1st MMO I always wondered what my avi does when I'm not logged in.

My personal headcanon is that this is when the WoL sits down and researches the spells or trains manuveurs that he "learns"/masters when he levels up.

Then there's simple stuff like cleaning your private room at the FC house, keeping the flowers watered, grooming your chocobo,... Regular people stuff.

When not actively MSQ-questing, the WoL also likes to just sit back in the Waking Sands/Rising Stones/Fortemps Manor/Moghome/Dragonhead/Whitebrim Front or whatever other place he's currently visiting. Talk to the locals, visit the market, train with the soldiers, have meals with the current head honcho, discuss arcanima theory/conjuration with the recident healers...

There's a reason why, that as you progress through the MSQ, people from stable hands to royal guards go from calling the player 'you', to speaking to him/her like like they know you at least as a casual acquaintance.

Because despite appearances, the WoL is pretty darn social... Everyone from 2.0 Alphinaud to the Scions to faction leaders to Gaius van Baelsar himself seems to have no problem getting along with him/her.

If I'm reading this correctly, we're talking about things that are probably not true but fit with the lore as we know it more or less (even if its only joking), but it makes you smile? Like our headcanon about Ultros? lol... Gods, I have hundreds of these... <tries to remember some>

• As far as Eorzeans know, Triple Triad cards such Cloud, Lightning, and Terra all feature characters from a highly anticipated series of romance novels by Godbert Manderville.

• The Manderville family, meanwhile, is an elaborate hoax perpetrated to conceal the fact that the sixth Syndicate seat has belonged to Rowena for years.

• During his first semester in Sharlayan, Thancred rogue-tied his roommate and left him hanging from a streetlight in retaliation for pretentiously correcting his pronunciation of levio-saaah.

• Alphinaud was secretly working on something called Minfilia x Lahabrea!Thancred until his sketchpad vanished; he's too mortified to make inquiries.

• Gaius van Baelsar published over twenty campy detective novellas under a pseudonym while he was viceroy of Ala Mhigo.

• The wyverns in Coerthas makes puns about adventurers' names when they're nault around.

• Louisoix wore a phurble-hair toupee for almost a month before Urianger finally told him that it totally didn't look as natural as he thought.

• Nero's only friend and confidant is a Wind-up Cid.

• Most of Nael's essence returned to the Lifestream in 1572. Bahamut filled in the gaps with frog DNA.

• The final boss of Snowcloak was actually just a regular Abalathan hoarhound that Ysayle adopted. She was heartbroken that you killed it, but she never told anyone. (SLEEP TIGHT.)

Rowena either knowingly or unknowingly has been the biggest supplier of Allagan tomestones to the Garlean Empire for 7-8 years.

Nael van Darnus' rise to head of House Darnus included the adoption of some extracurricular activities with Solus. That is to say, Nael and Solus were lovers as was his father before him. This is partly why Gaius resented Nael.

Even their parents mix up the Leveilleur twins.

Carvallain never returned to Ishgard to claim his rightful place as Durendaire heir because he was smitten with Rhoswhen.

Before Thordan VII's primal scheming the round table of the Heaven's Ward was primarily used for Triple Triad.

Francel has always pined for Haurchefant, but regrets he never acted on it while the latter was alive. Baurendouin knew of Francel's boyhood crush and having harbored his own unrequited affections in his youth overlooked this 'undesirable fraternization' between bastard and trueborn.

Pierryvain is the composer of pretty much all of the BGM canonically in XIV, not just The Maker's Ruin.

Damielliot passed away during the Seventh Umbral Calamity. Stricken with grief Faustigeant hasn't been seen since his son's internment.

Lolorito has used Heartstrike to revive his enemies and taunt them from beyond the grave before sending them back to the abyss by removing it.

Gerolt doesn't actually realize Drake is considered his "apprentice." Rather, Gerolt is so drunk all the time he thinks Drake is just another debt collector helping him with his kettles so he can pay off his debt to Drake faster. Drake isn't aware of this.

Dalamud was created by Amon on a dare. The original Allagan plan was to utilize Omega, but after neurolink-slavery showed promise he was jokingly dared to "coop up that old blowhard eikon in a freakin' moon."

My personal headcanon is that this is when the WoL sits down and researches the spells or trains manuveurs that he "learns"/masters when he levels up.
<Sniped the rest>

Mine just sleeps since he seemingly gets possessed from time to time by a merceless extrademensional being who makes him have echo enduced PTSD and relive his worst battles in an effort to hasten his martial skills. Side effects include massive exhaustion, lack of personality, loss of speach, and the ocational urge to Mandeville.

Y’Shtola prefers women.

... I approve.

[Kallera]

Roaille and the handmaiden are having adventures in jail together, if they haven't broken out already, then they are having adventures on the lam.

[myahele]

Dewlala was a former ishgardian astrologian, hence her astrologian-only dunce cap. This explains why her predictions on Lolorito was pretty accurate

[Twailaith]

Roaille and the handmaiden are having adventures in jail together, if they haven't broken out already, then they are having adventures on the lam.

"Having Adventures", huh?

Is that what you call it these days.

[Mykaelus]

Roaille and the handmaiden are having adventures in jail together, if they haven't broken out already, then they are having adventures on the lam.

I like to imagine after Nanamo has been filled in on the situation, and the first time she sees the handmaid after waking up, she has Raubahn lift her up so she can slap the handmaiden in the face.

[Mykaelus]

Dewlala was a former ishgardian astrologian, hence her astrologian-only dunce cap. This explains why her predictions on Lolorito was pretty accurate

I can see that! For some reason I also have the head-canon that Dewlala is a grandmother. Like it's hard to tell a young Lala from an old one, so their age is up in the air. I just picture her spoiling her grandkids and being a total witch to her daughter-in-law.
