Crazy Personal Headcanons

[TheMightyMollusk]

The other adventurers who appear to help us when there's no logical way to call for other people (AKA other players in the majority of dungeons, raids, and trials) are our alternate selves from the other Shards. They constantly change in appearance and jobs because time between the Shards is inconstant; they've gone through an extra lifetime or two and reincarnated since last time.

Myste is what's left of our alternate from the Thirteenth, channeled through the dark knight soul crystal. He has to continually consume aether because his soul is a fragment of a fragment and needs the extra energy to keep existing. While he rejoins with us at the end of the level 70 quest, there just isn't enough left of him to count as a full Rejoining; just a fading echo of regret, begging for forgiveness for his failure to save his world.

My craziest theory is that the Convocation = The Twelve. They were down to 13 members after Elidibus was sacrificed (Yes I know Azem left but technically they were never replaced so...still part of the group even if the others won't admit it). Despite the name of The Twelve there are actually thirteen gods with Nald'Thal being twins and not a single deity. And according to Eorzean history, before the first umbral era it was a time when gods walked Eorzea. Considering how powerful even Sundered Ascians are, I'm betting they still looked very much like gods to the newly sundered survivors and the new life that was springing up. After the first Calamity, the gods apparently fled. The Ascians of course better able to go about their great works from the shadows.

I have two more. One is G'raha has excellent tail control and that he either constantly had his wrapped around his waist or is able to not have it move for a long time. You can't tell me that it wouldn't be making swishing noises under that robe. Unless you're going to tell me it was crystallized and broke off/fell off.

The other one is that part of the reason we goof on summoning an image of the primals is that we're also remembering what they looked like presundering. Specially if we're like those who either can't or have a hard time rendering a mental image of things in their head even if they know what thing is supposed to look like.

He may not have good tail control after all. If you talk to a guard after a cut-scene, he mentions that he swore he saw a tail swishing under his robes. I wonder how many other potential glimpses others in the Crystarium got.

My G'raha related headcanon is that, after becoming renowned for being the Crystal Exarch who's set up a sanctuary in Lakeland, one of the most overheard things he got from new arrivals was "I thought he'd be taller." The children usually just said it straight to his face. He found it amusing. Eventually.

I think the same could be said for the Warrior of Darkness. Espeailly if they were Lalafells/Dwarves

My newest one is the reason why Emet was so theatrical is because of his looking at his crystals of Hyth and Azem a lot more than he probably should have and remembering how much those two were goofballs made him behave that way due to doing so right before he goes to nap.

Whoever made Omega are also the ones who caused the final days.

Another headcanon borne of how certain names fit Lalafellin naming conventions :P

This time it is the Gagana. Once upon a time there was a caravan of merchants, including one Gagana Gana, this young lady would up separated by her peers and when they were looking for her they found nothing...but a strange feathered creature. They then jumped to the conclusion that Gagana was transformed into the beast and fled thinking the Fringes of Gyr Abania were cursed.

This tall tale spread through Eorzea leading a bunch of adventurers to explore the place where they found that that the feathered monster was one member of a species...and also found that Gagana was not transformed but barely surviving off the arid landscape. The tale has spread so far that the creatures thought to be her still bore her name. She wound up reuniting with the Caravan and then promptly gave them hell for abandoning her thinking that she was transformed into a flamingo and mythologizing that to the point where she now shares her name with an animal.

Ironically she would eventually return to the Fringes to study them due to never shaking the association. and further exploration of Gyr Abania would eventually lead to Ala Mhigo's development.

One I've had for awhile is that Middy and Emet in a different life would be friends. Based off the fact they both enjoy maps, and help/test the WoL in their own way.
