He learned what is basically bot gathering from an early age, and it has never let him down. He can find food or useful materials anywhere. Crafting though I have less concrete lore for. Woodworking/armorer for crafting and maintaining his weapons. Leatherer? And weaver for #elhilore #elhiqotd

Elhi Hates writing. He's stubborn and mulish about it for literally no reason. So he cuts as many corners as he can. So if he's doing paperwork where he needs to cute something it's going to be bare bones.

I need to...-gulp- replay the old quests to get a feel for Elhi's reactions, but at least Now he regards Gerolt with a bemused sadness. He's an idiot. But he's so gifted. And it's such a shame he drowns himself in booze and deliusions. Honestly he's dragging his feet trying #elhilore #elhiqotd

Elhi probably would decline unless it was During the Arcadion arc. Then he'd show up, probably be unprepared and unimpressed. And painfully blunt about how little they regard Alexandria as a whole, embarrassing everyone associated with him. He spent so much time- #elhilore #elhiqotd

Raha first for sure, back during the CT storyline he was watching Elhi sitting around a campfire one evening. Elhi, who rarely talks without considering every word made the worst joke Raha had ever heard and everyone was groaning and Raha suddenly thought #elhilore #elhiqotd

I love camping and hanging with the 'rents. But I miss my ac rn. It's 100°f and I'm melting D: I also miss my cats and my game.

Tis the season and I have zero ideas for Elhi's costume or the scions in general. Especially 'shtola how in the world do I make her More Spooky?? Kind have a unbaked idea about having a character haunted by himself but I don't know how to make him look like a ghost....

Very interesting article. I truly hope the author is proud of the quality he put into it.

Answering for my Old main; N'welhi the unfortunate cat man. He could use the city aetheryte a couple times a day, but long distance he could only manage every week or so. They also made him nauseous af. He hated using them but did often because he was constantly chasing after the so called WoL

Elhi has no objections to using other tech or magiks. He would not hesitate, for example, in getting Garlean or Allegan tech prosthetics. So for him to be completely sidelined means he is paralyzed from the neck down. So..he'd probably bite off his own tongue and die, ngl. #elhilore #elhiqotd

Elhi spent the calamity in the throes of violent echo attacks as a prisoner of the 4th legion. Basically he was a raving madman that was seeing the final days and the calamity happening at the same time in first person, stuck in a prison half way across the world. #elhilore #elhiqotd

120

Undoubtedly when he was forced to kill his tempered comrades whilst in the throes of an echo, and the aftermath. People he had spent the last 5 years with, who he had begun to treasure. Some of whom he considered little more than children. #elhilore #elhiqotd

Elhi is the minimum height for male Viera so, rather short. He doesn't mind at all, compact builds are better for speed, agility and being underestimated. Plus, shortness is (probably) considered a masculine trait all considering.

100

Ahhhh!! how Many times have I remade Y'shtola's arr outfit trying to upgrade it without losing its vibe?? And I've Never been Happy. But This!!! Might?!! Be It!!!

020

Elhi is a registered member of the Adventurer's guild. He also has a freelance contract with the GC after clearing his name post Hw, as he refused to rejoin the Flames but they kept asking for help. Also!! Tataru demands he recognize he IS on payroll. Pick. Up. Your. Pay. Elhi! D<

000

Raha is sensitive to bitter foods. Even though he dutifully would drink the tragically overstepped teas Lyna would bring him, like a good grand/father should X'D He also isn't great with spicy. Which is a problem because he never turns down food from Elhi who is heavy handed with spice and spices.

Elhi doesn't really see himself as having a physical home. Home is his people now. That said, if he was to pick a plot to call home it would probably, surprisingly, be his room in the crystarium. He adores the first, he loves his little room with its big window. #elhilore #elhiqotd

Elhi plays a pan flute! And has a lovely voice. Azem hmm I think they're an overachiever playing several instruments. I can imagine them playing dulcimers, flutes, lutes, I found this Gorgeous instrument which is a functioning HarpGuitar. They definitely would play it.

000

Elhi has a "Terrible" sense of humor. To contrast his perpetually resting bitch face (💖) he doesn't talk often so when he does everyone wants to pay attention. And that's when he hits them with a real groaner. XD So he loves pun and would probably find puns using his name hilarious.

100

Reaper! He picked up reaper for Ew for thematic, story telling reasons. He spent a lot of DT playing with his spear or trying out viper, but pulled reaper back out as "the big guns" EC seems like a more serious pac plus reaper is the cinematic job so, he'll probably go rpr right from the getgo.

Elhi is ambidextrous, but writes left handed to everyone's chagrin. (I base his writing on my little brother ahahahaha)

000

I'm such a sucker for souls of lovers finding each other across time and space. I think I want to make Raha's ancient. Although. :/ Elhi might...resent that. It might be more important for Raha the shard to be just for Elhi the shard. No Azem involved.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

...you want to take away the people that Elhi is willing to destroy the whole universe for? The people that made him choose the fractured present over a whole past or healed future?? The people He Died for and returned to Life for? Oh. Oh dear. Oh dear this will not end well.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Elhi is currently a Reaper and that happened during Endwalker. Before that he was a polearm user mainly. Those are his passion. He's been training with polearms since he was a child so. 90 Years. or so. He is also Very proficient in weaponless martial arts and daggers. Using nearly as long.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Hey #ffxiv! My friend is looking for an artist to draw some cute stuff for their discord server. Banner, icons, etc. When I asked they said "cute, FFXIV, bunnies" so... loporrits? XD

Also he's Gorgeous. Also he's Mine. Made with every bit of lore love and self indulgent trope I want.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Raha is 5'2". Elhi says he's 6'7. He's not. Those are your ears, they don't count. Doofus. He's almost exactly 5'7 which makes him 5 ilm taller than Raha, perfect for resting his chin on his cat boy's head.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Elhi is not coping well with even the Thought of outliving his precious people His rejection of losing his loved ones to time is so deep seated that his aether has poisoned those around him causing their bodies to stop aging sure, but also several other not so great side effects #elhilore #elhiqotd

I wish artists would put archer bods on all those dainty fantasy archery girls. That would fantastic.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Bold of you to assume either side of this moronship can drag themselves out of their self sabotaging fears enough to actually say the words to each other. Shockingly though I think?? Elhi said it first. To a sleeping Raha "...how terrifying it is... loving you..." And Raha later...

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Thinking about the smoking qotd I answered and what the scions would smoke if anything. Thancred probably stress smokes cigarettes. Urianger has definitely used a Corvosi Shisha for the Drama of it. Y'shtola, Tataru and the Exarch all give kiseru vibes.

100

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Yep! He had a pipe for his uh *particular* mixes of herbs back in Golmore. Any he had on him when he was captured by Garleans were confiscated though. So as a conscript he occasionally bummed smokes from his unit- #elhilore #elhiqotd

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

When I created my character way back when I looked up tips on rp and back stories. And they all stressed how important it was to NOT create a wol. Absolutely not. DO NOT MAKE in all capitals. So I made my cat man to be a non-wol. Chasing after Meteor but always missing him.

YES! Elhi thought Thancred and Urianger had Something worth pursuing. He was really grumpy that he missed them getting together as it was during their time on the 1st. X'D He also thinks Hoary & Coultenet's wedding was very sweet even if he didn't really understand marriage at the time.

220

YES! Azem had Golden eyes. All Azem shards have at least One gold eye. I even modded our good boy from the 1st to have a gold left eye. Elhi, my wold, has a gold right eye. He is, in fact, a bit overly conscious about it. In my headcanon, Azem liked #elhilore #elhiqotd

120

Elhi is *Haunted* by his guilt. It *stains* him. Although *What* he feels guilty about is a bit...off. haha.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Elhi Hates the Cold. He Hates it. He wants to be bundled up like a ball of fluff. But he also hates when he can't move comfortably. So. There is no win for him. Also he's not fond of enclosed shoes. So that will be fun to force onto him. X'D

I MADE A MASHUP WEAPON AND IT' SO FUCKING COOL LOOK AT IT!! ( ╯✧□✧)╯ 彡[img] I worked so hard. I didn't know wtf I was doing. but it looks amazing. (⁠ ༎ຶ⁠༎ ◇༎ຶ༎ )

Image shows Elhi in the Troia throne room. he wears the assasin's coat and merged assassin's brais and the metal parts of the viera gaskins/sollerets (for feral paws) around his neck is the wayfarer's pendant hanging from the redbill scarf. he wears the reaper's gloves on his arms. his blackened claws fingers bare.

His face is solemn, his mismatched gold and green eyes concentrating as he holds out his hand as if about to grasp something. Void magiks rise from the ground around him.

But the star of the image is the War Scythe in his right hand, planted firmly on the ground. It is a mashup of 3 phantom blades. the Penumbrae for it's snath and the chain that hangs about it. Obscurum for the head and blade. Occultum for hanging spikes and the glorious crystal embedded in the blade. (there's also a little crystal in it's head but that is hard to see). The magic surrounding it's blade is from the Obscurum weapon but the colors changed to voidsent blacks and reds.
Furthermore the colorset has been altered. the metal it slightly duller, the straps a deep red, the feathers have a touch of blue and teal, and an iridescent sheen similar to a crow's feathers.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Kiki. There is Very little that is soft with Elhi, I designed him to be almost all sharp angles. In fact sometimes I second guess his legs/butt because they're thick for jumping but detract a little from his almost malnourished mad jackrabbit vibe.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Elhi may or may not have straight up punched the guy flat in the mug. He finds him a disgraceful coward. A jackass and failure of a Mentor (or well, parent. But Elhi tends to think in terms of Mother, Mentor and Sire.) He's also Incredibly Jealous of him. Not Envy. Jealous. #elhilore #elhiqotd

I swear someone made an eye mod that replaced eyes with materia. But now I can't find it Anywhere. Am I losing my mind??

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Elhi is a bit of a boomer for Most tech. My friends and I joke that the twins set up his tomestone and it still has all the default settings they picked, he single finger types, didn't realize it needed charging, leaves everyone on read constantly #elhilore #elhiqotd

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I've done so many horrible things to him it's hard to pick the Worst lol! But probably when I made him a conscript for 5 years; Gave him a unit full of weirdos. People who came to care for and treasure him. Comrades he grew to cherish... Then I made him kill them all by his own hand.

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I bought 3 tacos. Does he get 100 or 300 tacos? 🌮🌮🌮 Either way, he's gonna be handing out tacos for a while.

000

Lathyrus.Skies @lathyrus.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

No idea gonna spit ball... If he does, there's no chance he fills out a request Everytime. More likely he'd stuff the receipt in his bag & then mass report later. Adding several weeks or months worth together. He hates reading/writing Eorzean & his writing is chicken scratch so #elhilore #elhiqotd

I need to follow more people who love the characters I love and hate the characters I hate. It's great following so many diverse takes on the game I adore but lately my feed is often. Demoralizing.
