I’m interested to hear what other people think of for their WoL’s story - whether it’s canon jobs, motivations, canon mounts and so on. I’ve always seen FFXIV as an anime in regards to headcanons, with a main series and optional movies with no bearing on the main plot. Also mind you I’m not a writer so pardon any cheesiness.

My WoL started in Gridania as a conjurer, eventually earning the title of WHM. After visiting Uldah and hearing of black magic, he slowly adapted and learned thaumaturgy until mastering that too as a BLM. Since Alphinaud and Urianger were both adept at healing, he stuck with BLM throughout the majority of the story (its magic was more alluring to him, anyway).
In-between major plot lines, he went to the therapy session that is DRK but decided it was too risky in practice to use often. Instead, if he had to be the defense, he’d learn from Thancred as a GNB.
By ShB, Urianger’s work as an AST was intriguing him. Healing with the stars and not lilies? So in another “side movie” he went through the AST plotline after guidance from Urianger. He fell in love with the galaxy-brain skills at his command, and chose to make AST his healer of choice.
Come EW, the rising tensions and the threat Zenos posed led him to also take up the scythe as a RPR. Getting beaten multiple times and Zenos’ arguments had gotten to him, he figured the only way to beat Zenos was to fight voidsent with voidsent. Now he wields the scythe, honoring the bond he’s made in a risky effort to protect this star.
With the world-ending threats now seemingly gone, he’s gotten some much needed RnR. In his spare time after forming bonds with the people of Thavnair, he’s taken up performing as a DNC (in perhaps another side movie) to let loose and take his mind off things.
