I remember now. I cant remember which option i picked though but I did agonise over it

If I remember right I chose water or milk or one of the boring drinks. I don’t drink much irl and consider my WoL an extension of me lol. Every dialogue option I choose is what I’d imagine I’d say in that situation

I'm the same, I went with tea as I recall as Enki isn't a drinker, like me. But she does like her tea.

But yes, my dialogue choices throughout the game have been how I imagine my character would respond in terms of the story I've written for her, and by extension, myself.

Of course there have been a couple of times where I simply could not resist the urge to choose the obvious humorous or 'nonsense' choice, if appropriate though!

i was stuck between tea and alcohol

On one hand she loves her tea, particularly coerthan tea especially when she got it from back home in Dravania and its great when she's gearing up to do some healing
On the other hand...she's lived in limsa for a good chunk of her life and the msq has made a tipple quite appealing some times. Also after a few terrible dungeon runs with other adventurers alcohol is needed.

which brings up a headcanon

Avarnia learned alchemy in hopes she could enchant her weapons and armour. The secondary purpose was to invent a flask of endless booze which she could sell for millions of gil...or keep on her for after those terrible dungeon runs

I like to imagine the WoL drinks hard when it's free, causing her to get drunk play her aetherguitar loud and hard, churning out tunes that you would otherwise hear in trials and raid boss battles which leaves the other scions baffled, and yet incredibly psyched but then after the bender is over she wakes up and remembers nothing of the music she made or that night at all. Even if the other Scions try to jog her memory or ask her to play her aetherguitar she can't seem to perform at all.

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.

What do you think? Does anyone have any bits of lore they made for their WoL regarding jobs?

My WoL was always an academic Black Mage and became an adventurer to learn new magic. Always considered the Scion/adventuring lifestyle as some sort of mistake they fell into and it's been like running down a steep slope ever since. They started taking up other jobs because the mad lifestyle clearly dictated getting fit and physically strong just in order to stay alive what with all the running and jumping and people and monsters trying to chop you with sharp things. So I sorta see all the other jobs as a fitness routine and the other DoM jobs as simple expansions of my original academic love of magic.

Not really a job lore headcanon, but I imagine that my character is just as invested in the history and lore side of things that I am. I was quite glad that I got some opportunities in Sharlayan to show my character as knowing their share of esoteric lore.

Honestly this would be me if I was transported into the game lol. I’d grow fond of the Scions for sure, but I’d hate the physical aspect of fighting.
