Adding My Two Cent To It.

Adding my two cent to it.

I see soul like rock. They are what you are at your core. And as you live, all your experience create a crust around it, and it's this whole rock and crust the make a person. When you die your rock get tossed back in the sea. The rock may have kept a very very small part of the crust that will carry over. But it's nothing significant. The more the rock get incarnated, the more it grow, and the bigger/stronger/higher life it can have.

Now. You get plenty of rock. And they all get broken into piece. They smaller now. And slowly, as they get incarnarted, they grow again. But for all they were once piece of the whole, they are not a piece. They are just smaller soul. And even if you managed to gather all the soul that used to be one, they all grew and don't fit anymore. You would need to fill and grind them down to make them fit, and even then it would be imperfect.

All to say... we're not Azem either. We're souls of Azem, but not an Azem. I would like scions to have an ascians self. But these ascian self are to our wol what our parents are to us. We may have gotten some habit from them, some personnality... but we're not them.

I strongly prefer it when the Scions *don't* have Ancient counterparts.

I think it means more if they're part of the new souls born to the star either after Zodiark's first summoning or after the Sundering. Which is a whole thing!

Importantly, those were the souls that the Convocation were going to sacrifice to Zodiark to bring back the Ancients they lost.

To me, I think it's vastly important that G'raha, Y'shtola, Urianger, Thancred, the twins, that all of them are people Emet-Selch would throw away without a second thought. That to him, you're the only one worth half a damn... And broken as you are, only half a damn. And before he lets himself accept that you really are what's left of Azem, you're just someone else he's convinced isn't a person.

But I think these are the very souls Azem left the Convocation to save, even if Azem still didn't want to break the world. And these are the souls that Venat and the Twelve did break the world to save.

To me that's so much more important than any reincarnation romance (much as I adore that kind of story too). That to Azem and to you, these people matter anyway.

Raven tend to show platonic affection to adult with food and warm drink. Like little snack, or drink while they working, or training. Or maybe mending gears, or bringing useful thing, be it tomes, information or better gear. With younger friend, like Alphinaud or Alisaie, he add physical affection, generally hugs, and side hugs. But that's more familial affection.

How does your wol(oc) show platonic affection?

Ah, yes, Max height Au Ra. it's been a while since I got cropped like this. It just make me laugh through the quest like... I forgot this happened since I didn't touch many quests recently.

the first, and the last hug.

Au ra problems

Shirt. T-shirt. There is a reason majority of au ra fashion and cultural clothes are drapped clothes, or some sort of kimono. Horns get in the ways... a lot. You don't know pain until you tried to put on an overhead tshirt. It's pretty nice for your friend to lend you clothes after yours got ruined. It just have these dreaded collar. Sometimes, you really wonder why au ra are the only horned race.

Beds. Special adaptation has to be made. Finding pillows are always hard. Paying for bed sheets you accidentally ripped in the night because it caught on your spikes is annoying, but sadly a fact of life.

Self-care. Getting the good buff stone and scales care oils are difficult away from the au ra centers of population. Thankfully, port city generally got some from Hingashi or Thavnarian trade. This make it a bit easier.

The next ones who ask if they got ears under the horns will get gored by said horns.

Clothes again. Female au ra can find clothes in any store that cater to miquo'te. Male au ra all know how to alter pants. A necessity for Eorza.

When someone ask if you're descended from dragon, it's here you regret you are not, if only to barbecue the idiots.

There is one thing I would like to add thought. And it's a warning tag. Like if 20 people put a warbibg for malicious mostagging, it appear as a warning. Somethibg other than bookmark, like a black list for fic. Because there a few malicious people who willfully write story and mistag them to hurt the reader. I'm referring to the fucker who love to write corrective rape fic, so people who enjoy the ship will read it without knowing.
