WoL Job Headcanons!

[Absimiliard]

A headcanon I have is that the voidsent we bond with as a Reaper is actually our counterpart from the 13th - the Shard consumed by Darkness (aka now the Void). I was a little let down by the Reaper quests not giving us more one-on-one time with our voidsent so I made my own.

Not meaning to be rude or anything by pointing this out, but I do believe we may know the identity of our counterpart from the 13th. In fact, if you've done the Warring Triad quests, you've definitely met him.

As for headcanon? With new information provided in Endwalker, I can't help but feel the emotionally driven nature of DRK means it's probably utilizing dynamis alongside aether.

With the close-up on eye color and the structure of the story, the Warring Triad NPC is strongly hinted to be the 13th shard equivalent of one of Arbert's companions/best friend of said companion and not Ardbert (and thus carrying a fragment of Azem).

Well, not the Azem that most people mean when they say Azem. As for head-canons, considering that there can be multiple people running around with the Blessing of Light and Crystals and were throughout history, my theory is that some of them have shards of the previous Azem holders before Venat and 'our' Azem who had already joined the Lifestream.

If you're talking about U boy he is not our shard from the 13th, they're hinting at him being the Black Mage guy from the first Nyellebert or however is name is spelled.

They also hint repeatedly that he could well be you from the 13th. Doesn't help that the Azem-worshipping Elidibus stepped in to save him instead of one of the others, which I'll note is in addition to the comparatively recent hint dropping about it possibly being you and not the black mage as originally suspected. Personally, given the choice, I would much rather Diabolos be the Azem fragment from the 13th.

Anywho, didn't mean to derail the post with that little interjection. Back to your regularly scheduled headcanons?

Have you done the quests after the ShB role quests involving the crystals of light from the first's Warriors of Light Taynor explicitly states that working in tandem and the feel of U boy's Aether was familiar to him. Seeing as how he was working very closely with Nyellebert before he was trapped in in the Void well over 100 years ago.
Yet never worked with our character in that way.


That Azem worshipping Elidibus also saved Cylva from the 13th at the same time he rescued U boy... he did it to use them as pawns.

As a matter of fact I have done those quests. Those quests only furthered the commonly held belief that the boy is a fragment of Azem...somehow. Which, now that you have reminded me of them, is just confusing. It would appear that I was indeed mistaken. I'd forgotten about those quests conflicting with other text in the game, and we do have to take the most recent information as canon in matters such as these.

Uhm those quests never furthered the belief they completely pushed them aside and trampled on them. At which point does it hint that U boy is our soul shard from those quests?

[Absimiliard]

I uh... just said they don't? I agreed with you? I'd completely forgotten about what they said until you reminded me about it. Others, however, have in the past frequently reference them as evidence of the kid with the annoying-to-spell name being an Azem fragment.

Ah sorry I misread it then, please forgive me

Back to the regularly scheduled WoL job headcanon ....

Since I'm in here... my go to job for my WoL is always magic, though he is kinda partial to dancer... and wants to kill moogles as a dark knight... but the latter is after he's gotten so trashed that he drunkenly teleports out to mog home at times and passes out on top of them... (they're really soft and give good hangover drinks)

Ahh, I’ve read the rest of the posts so I’m still unsure as to who in the 13th is our counterpart and it’s been so long since I did the Warring Triad quests lol. I just thought it’d be cool from a lore standpoint why that specific voidsent bonded with us.
