#meanwhile Arkhe is from near the New World and is just like ''what the fuck's their deal are they a cult or what'' seeing Garleans at first

I'm thinking about the FFXIV portrayal for my White Boy (Schmitty Schmee) for once. I need to do the Sorrow of Werlyt questline sometime, because I imagine him picking a silly name to better hide his tracks on the run after he escapes Werlyt. His name sounds stupid enough to be fake, but it's close to his actual birth name (Smithy Schmidt), so he kinda hides in plain sight with it. I imagine him also changing his hair to the mullet he has in ARR to make himself look different too, and grows it back out through MSQ.

I also imagine it being a time where he joins Arkhe for the quests, and it traumatizing him so much he steps back on joining for quite a while to recover. Being back in Werlyt was bad enough, but from what I hear of those quests it'd make his PTSD act up BAD.

#random ramblings #man every Au Ra in Arkhe's party except Arkhe himself has had bad run-ins with Garleans their whole lives #Boal is from Ala Mhigo and Schmitty from Werlyt #meanwhile Arkhe is from near the New World and is just like ''what the fuck's their deal are they a cult or what'' seeing Garleans at first #and then he started seeing them more and more as he was country-hopping on the run and he started goin ''yeah it's a cult'' #until it was clarified to him that no it's a bunch of imperial colonizers then he just went ''oh. I wanna kill them even more now.'' #Keiga isn't really a part of Arkhe's party and she occasionally just pops back in demanding Arkhe come back to their tribe #like the Buduga coming back again and again demanding Hien be taken with them to the Steppe
