Scion!AU!Akigane is an archon, he studied folklore and collects stories as he travels. Standard canon Akigane wishes he had the time to study, but he has to save the world every other week.

Raubhan fell first. He thought he noticed her more coz she was trying very hard to be inconspicuous, and realizing he was worried about her during the Ultima Weapon arc hit him like a ton of bricks. Eithne thought it was a one night stand, but she’s happy to have somewhere to unconditionally exist.

Heterosexual marriage, having children from that heterosexual marriage, agreeing with Kan-E-Senna on literally anything, retirement that leads to working at a desk for the adventurer’s guild because he can no longer fill the simplest requests and is instead kept around like a relic.

I’m trying to name a dead guy in this short story but I’m pretty sure the name that keeps floating across my brain is the government name of a YouTuber and I feel like there might be implications there that I don’t want to contend with. I need to go hunt for names in the graveyard Again.

Run, kick, dive off the back of a dragon and test to see if his heels work well as secondary weapons to his spear. This is not to say he particularly likes heels as he already has higher-than average odds to run into doors and beams and doesn't need the boost. But he can. Another one LOVES heels

At this point Akigane’s been doing this for 20 years and is equally comfortable bedding down in the grass as he is in an inn or a house. Eithne by contrast complains about not sleeping in pristine sheets and her giant bed. She thought she was done roughing it at 18 and hates when she has to go back

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

They mostly can because they’re still largely adventurers but there are some exceptions The biggest one is that they straight-up don’t work for Eithne Ganzorig and Taivan meanwhile don’t have aetherytes anywhere near their village which dampens the appeal but there are talks to build one post-ew

Peel the scales and horns off Akigane and you get Mnemosyne, this is mostly notable because Mnemosyne’s shards are wildly physically different. So this one matching is unusual and has had a distinct impact on his in-game success.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Cyrille did but there are decent odds that the Fourth might be where he‘s actually from, so obviously the portal would want to put him back where he belongs. Z’chael and Riubh’a aren’t making it to the fourth rn coz they still have work to do in Shaaloani but might find a different way in later.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Musashi shares the kitchen with Cyrille whether Cyrille wants him there or not coz Musashi doesn’t trust him to cook with anything more advanced than a campfire. Sunny LIKES company in the kitchen and not just coz they can reach the high shelves better than she can. Riubh’a doesn’t get a choice.

Akigane is a night owl because it’s almost always night in game when I play. Like it’s been nearly 7 years and I genuinely have never seen Thavnair during the day and I’ve very rarely seen Ishgard and Gridania during the day so the only conclusion is that Akigane is on vampire time.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Would someone like to explain which part of my brain went wrong and made me write A Man who starts mostly communicating to his love interest via tortured DCOM references? I have never watched any entry in the High School Musical series so why is he singing Bop to the Top behind her in the TSA line?

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

He has 200 prosthetic vampire fangs. He doesn’t need prosthetic fangs because he already has fangs, so he’ll take them with him to All Saint’s Wake and start distributing them out to fangless friends and festival attendees. It could be worse he could be stuck with vinyl records and woolen suits.

Tea. Especially 40something Scion!AU Akigane because why wouldn’t they make Uncle Iroh FFXIV edition. He has tea AND an assortment of hyper-competent older men as friends.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Considering that as a kid Akigane was constantly at the docks in his village asking everyone who passed through about what the larger world was like, literally no one is surprised. People in Eithne's life aren't super clear about how adventuring is any different from what she was doing before.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I genuinely loved how much this year’s Rising focused on the music of Final Fantasy and music in general. Maybe it’s just because I‘m the person that I am but it dug into me this year and honestly, I appreciate the sensation.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Akigane and Z’chael are embarrassing nerds who do the homework and the extra credit. Piane and Salacia do it but aren’t dorks about it. Eithne and Riubh’a mostly remember to do it. Sunny claims “something happened to it“ but she actually just fed it into the nearest woodchipper.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

So Kingdom Hearts is actually canon to my XIV narrative because Eithne’s visited Twilight Town and Radiant Garden in her various travels and I forgot that Eithne specifically mentions Remy as existing during the Eden Raids. Of all the Disney to mention I went with gourmand rat.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Horribly. Akigane and his original party were at Carteneau and he lost: his brother, his fiancé and large chunks of his memories As for the rest Daijin died healing people so they could flee, Kazuryu lost his left arm and right leg, Ganzorig lost his eye and Taivan’s nervous system was shattered 1/

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on the Gamecube baby! I still genuinely like it, to the point that it's my playstation theme and I might have to argue that a story NPC from it might exist in my brain in a flurry of sakura petals sountracked by this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJUb...

Because of my very specific brain rot I was, for half a second, briefly convinced that the setting of this fanfic I was reading had transferred to Fodlan. Because truly Fire Emblem: Three Houses x Glee is the crossover the world needs now.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Akigane ADORES Nero. Nero is someone he remembers positively from his time in Garlemald, CT cemented him as a legitimate friend and he enjoyed their brief affair after EW As for the Cid of it all, Aki knows they're never giving each other up so he's just to the side rolling his eyes affectionately

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

So I saw that WolNero week was happening and I thought "Yes absolutely. I'll knock my fic rust off and finally participate in the community coz I got the announcement". I wrote part 1 of 7, thought about gposing and then immediately fucked off to write 8 manuscript pages of a new book in two hours.

I’m pretty sure I’m losing this battle I‘ve been fighting against my spotify algorithm for a few months now. Do I roll over and accept my defeat or do I keep fighting like this is an infinitely stupider version of the Somme?

Akigane‘s original party had their horses and a dog fairly similar to the real-world Bankhar dog breed. He’s left those behind though and he’ll probably not bothering with a pet until he retires from adventuring.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Something I was not expecting to be a side effect of my Spotify algorithm going on a manic tear through one artist‘s discography for like two months was its tumble into an impressive volume of musical theatre Spotify wants me to listen to so much G’raha Tia now. I’m not exactly mad about it tho.

Regulus is melting in the heat desperately wishing he’d worn something besides black leather and wool to the beach. Cyrille is way up at the top of the jump puzzle waiting his turn to dive. Eithne’s playing guitar by the pool, her speech bubble is “dance water, dance” entirely for the joke.

Heroes‘ Gauntlet is genuinely the most fun, most narratively rewarding dungeon I’ve played in this game {acknowledging that I’m still only in EW patches} and Feo Ul is consistently delightful. I also enjoy the vibe and soundtrack of Amaurot.

1: remember that bug that added eyebags to Duskwights? That but for everyone. 2: muscle slider equity. It’s stupid that ears and tails and muscles are all apparently the same thing in the backend so characters only get 1 of the possible three. 3: Let me see your spaghetti code. I’m so curious.

Depends on when it’s happening in the story, puberty to the vault Akigane’s flirting back without a second’s hesitation, vault to ew he’s liable to be violent about it, ew patches and on he won‘t be as eager as he used to be but he’s receptive again.

I decided I needed like 15 of the damn things each with bespoke lore They generally start in the same place as my main but deviate wildly as I actually access the map and build them One shares race/gender/tribe with my main but looks Notably Different so I can wear the glams my main can’t pull off

G’raha tells them coz it’s something cool and he wants to share it with his friends, Akigane’s response is “What’s an ’Allagan Switch’? Is it some sort of special lever that alters the Crystal Tower?” Z’chael, Riubh’a and Piane go feral playing multiplayer SSB with G’raha. Eithne is intrigued.

It’s only a day so it’ll be a “help a baker proof her loaves” quest day instead of a “grand existential threat” day to compensate. But Akigane will be generally fine regardless of the significant other he swaps with. His SOs however, different story, melting, untrained black mages the lot of them.

Alfreyda’s pets are a kraken for SMN and a ghost for SCH. The ghost doesn’t have a name because she’s waiting for it to tell her its name but she calls the kraken Tirion now, and previously called it Jimmy. Z’chael hasn’t named any of his coz “They’re not pets, just constructs of my own aether”.

SplitDemonIdentity @splitdemonidentity.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

If they’re talking about appearance, Akigane tells them that’s objectively false and they should get their eyes checked. If they‘re talking about something else, he can’t really disagree with the statement and isn’t upset with it. Eithne’s response is, “Like you’d know.” Her mum died 30 years ago.

Akigane has cracked: Foulques, Estinien, X’rhun and Jacke. He’s thought about cracking: Stephanivien, Silvairre, Oboro, Ansaulme, and Tankin. He’s rejected the thoughts for various reasons

Akigane: “this shit fucking sucks. it’s just going to leave you battered and miserable and alone.“ still falls in love easily and wants to prove himself wrong. Eithne: *full marching band accompanied rendition of the Beatles All You Need Is Love* she’s the bandleader and pretends she’s not singing

In the last twoish months two groups that I really like have released albums and, they’re fine. The one that I waited 13 years for is definitely the better of the two, but the other one is still fine.

Eithne: the torture chamber of a military prison. Yes it was consensual. Akigane: under the sultantree in broad daylight mere minutes after taking Nanamo back to Papashan.

I never thought I’d heal, but sage starts at such a high level it would be foolish to not use it for SHB role quests so I did. For story reasons I needed my WoL to have SAM and NIN and he Does Not coz I don’t like the SAM story and I really hate La Noscea and never want to be there to level NIN.

Akigane learned SAM from his mum and Midgardsormr taught him DRG. Eithne learned her jobs before she made it to Eorzea some from instructors at her school, others from her peers and some from specific friends i.e. she learned PLD from a long-time lover.

Akigane’s going to Elden Ring. If he gets to keep his abilities from XIV he’s BEYOND fine to travel the Lands Between and become Elden Lord and will absolutely enjoy himself doing it. Even if has to start from 0 and level he’s having a great time. He’ll be weirded out if he marries Ranni though.
