Blade On A Stick is a disambig


* BladeOnAStick: Comes with becoming a [[DragonKnight Dragoon]]. Except, rather than a metal head, Anakin decides to use his own lightsaber for the blade.



* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Anakin's trademark weapon becomes a BladeOnAStick made of his own [[LaserBlade lightsaber]] mounted on a metal pole, which he can use [[BifurcatedWeapon either as a spear or as a sword-and-club]]. His lightsaber is later upgraded with a ''shard of Hydaelyn'' after the original kyber crystal dissolves.

* TenorBoy: Once his voice is done breaking, Anakin turns to have a rich, crooning tenor which complements Ysayle's ContraltoOfDanger. A lot of people, Aurelius included, find it very pleasant to listen to.

* TheMentor: Promises to become this to Tristan once his mastery of the spear is good-enough to let him become a Dragoon. Both look forward to it.



* StrongFamilyRessemblance: As it turns, Tristan's appearance is the result of a Fantasia potion - Demeter's Gift, as the Dalmascans call it. His true appearance is the spitting image of his father. Given who it is, it isn't a good thing...

* MeaningfulName: Tristan's true name is Lux Hiroshi. Liza named her son specifically after the Garlean word for Light, in the hopes he would turn to be LightIsGood. It worked.


Added DiffLines:

* MythologyGag: Tristan's last name, Hiroshi, comes from the game's canon name for the Meteor Survivor.

* BlueBlood: As the ''yae'' in his name indicates, Larsa is in line for the Garlean throne. His parents are Nerva yae Galvus and Vergilia van Corculum.


Added DiffLines:

* KingIncognito: By necessity. Garleans already suffer from FantasticRacism, so Larsa hides his identity to avoid further conflict in Eorzea.

* RedMage: Shapes to be this. He is naturally skilled with a rapier and taught himself conjury when he realized he could use magic. Against Ifrit, he manages to use fire to hurt the Primal, fulfilling all three criteria for the Job.


Added DiffLines:

* WeakButSkilled: Between his young age and being self-taught, Larsa is the weakest of Hydaelyn's ChosenOne. He is still skilled-enough to keep up with them during their adventures, and even defeat Ifrit.

[[folder:Lyrian Sombréclipse]]
!! Lyrian Sombréclipse, the Outsider
A Duskwight from the island city of Mylo, who came to Eorzea in search for a cure to ThePlague ravaging his home and a way to remove the nasty side-effect of their current remedy. He is an Outsider, a foreign Job Class akin to {{Ninja}} but more tech-oriented. He is one of Hydaelyn's ChosenOne and his Crystal of Light is Wind.

* BassoProfundo: Lyrian's singing voice is described as a silk-smooth bass-baritone who, according to Anakin, makes [[BadassBaritone Mace Windu]] sound like a soprano.
* CoolMask: Lyrian's skull mask isn't simply scary. It also doubles as a gas mask.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Lyrian originates from Mylo's nobility but fled as fast as he could after [[IAteWhat accidentally eating his mother under the effect of a Joyful Pill]]. He then trained as an Outsider and became one of Hydaelyn's [[TheChosenOne Crystal Bearers]].
* FindTheCure: Lyrian went to Eorzea to find a cure to the Rat Plague ravaging his home, as well as to get rid of the hallucinogenic side-effect of the medicine which serves as the current antidote.
* {{Intangibility}}: One of Lyrian's powers lets him Phase through things.
* NeatFreak: By the setting standards, Lyrian is excessively clean. Given he comes from a disease-filled WretchedHive, he comments the habit is a necessity back home.
* PetMonstrosity: Angel, Lyrian's albino [[PantheraAwesome coeurl]]. Most coeurls are massive and can throw lightning around. Even though Angel is smaller and lither than her kind, she is no less deadly.
* {{Psychometry}}: Lyrian's Echo makes him able to see the past of any item he touches, even a piece of cloth.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Part of Lyrian's arsenal is grenades. One kind releases a vapor that is particularly volatile if exposed to a Thaumaturge's Fire...
* TraumaButton: Lyrian reacts with absolute horror to any mention of cannibalism. Given his backstory involves [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies eating his own mother under the effect of the Joyful Pill]] [[IAteWhat and finding out when it faded]], this is completely {{Justified}}.

* ConflictingLoyalty: Though he has no problem fighting Primals, Larsa is much more reluctant at the thought of fighting his countrymen, even knowing how they see someone like him. Minfilia acknowledges his concerns and agrees to keep him out of any business involving Garlemald.

* IfOnlyYouKnew: Because Garlemald is a heavily-industrialized warmongering empire who crushes everyone in its path, Tristan calls Garleans "the Children of [[UltimateBlacksmith Hephaistos]] and [[GodOfTheDead Hades]], and [[WarGod Ares]] was their teacher". He has no idea Hades, aka. Emet-Selch, is the true identity of Emperor Solus... [[spoiler: and his great-grandfather]].

[[folder:Larsa]]
!!Larsa "Solidor" yae Galvus, heir to the Imperial Throne of Garlemald
One of Emperor Solus's great-grandchildren and potential heir to the Imperial Throne... if he wasn't also a [[TheChosenOne Crystal Bearer]] chosen by Hydaelyn and gifted with the Echo. His is the Earth Crystal and, though he is the youngest of the group, he remains skilled in his own rights.

* BlessedWithSuck: Larsa's Echo manifests as the ability to see the past of places rather than people -- like Venat and the Warrior of Light did in Elpis. When it triggers in places where a disaster happened, like Ul'dah during the Calamity, the results are unpleasant enough to make him black out.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Larsa fled Garlemald after awakening the Echo, becoming TheHeretic and a MageBornOfMuggles in the process.
* MageBornOfMuggles: Larsa is a Garlean, which are naturally UnSorcerer. Yet, thanks to the Echo, he is capable of using magic. He uses it to heal but, being self-taught, his skills are average at best.
* MythologyGag: Larsa introduces himself as "Lamont Solidor" to Tristan, Rhotmoen and Bleifryn, fights with a rapier and is the group's healer. Along with his appearance, it hearkens to the original Larsa Ferrinas Solidor from VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII.
* TheRunaway: Larsa turns to be a {{Downplayed}} version of '''The Abused'''. Being a [[TheEmpire Garlean]] with the Echo and [[MageBornOfMuggles the ability to use magic]], he is aware that staying in Garlemald will end up with him strapped to an operation table, if he isn't killed for being TheHeretic beforehand. So, he fled to Eorzea first.
* TheyWouldCutYouUp: One of the reasons Larsa names for fleeing home, besides the fact having the Echo makes him TheHeretic in the Empire, is that Garlean scientists would experiment on him to find out how, being a MageBornOfMuggles, he is able to use magic.
