Misago's preference is a simple pair of shorts for pajamas and nothing else. If he feels cold or chilly, he'll wear a simple pair of long pants, but that's also it.

Some of the best advice Misago ever got was quite early on in his adventures as a Scion from Y'shtola: "Talk to us. There's a whole family waiting for you back at the Waking Sands, ready to get to know you better. ...you don't have to be alone anymore." ⬇️

Misago suffers from really bad nightmares particularly during ShB as a side effect of his light poisoning and they continue long after due to his tendency to repress his feelings and trauma instead of dealing with it. He eventually learns to ground himself after these, but...

Misago has a tendency to blame himself before others, whether it is his fault or not. The way his relationship with his mother fell apart really ingrained this into him and at this point I don't see this changing for him moving forward.

Misago's workouts are usually weapon training, either sparring with Estinien or on his own with a dummy. He'll do some more traditional workout exercises from time to time (pushups, pullups, etc.), but not on any set routine. His regular adventuring keeps him in shape.

Misago enjoys a wide variety of beverages! Lots of tea and sometimes coffee (he enjoys both on the bitter side). And of course he loves a good red wine (his favorite!) and plenty of bitter ales. He doesn't often drink hard liquor (too sweet!), but Estinien talks him into it on occasion.

Misago got up early the next morning, a bundle of nerves and excitement. He wrote a letter to Lyse, since she was one of the only people that knew about his crush and he had promised to write to her with the outcome. He asks Riol to deliver it in the guise of Scion business. ⬇️

It does! Misago's canon main jobs are PLD/GNB/SMN and canon side jobs are DRG/DNC. (He technically knows some WHM and uses it, but it is very basic. He's not a healer.) Overlaps with Thancred, Alphinaud, G'raha, Estinien.

Here's how they overlap (probably going to be a long one!) 🧵

I initially chose SMN mostly because I thought it was novel and unique to have a book for a weapon, but also in part because I was coming off a FFX replay shortly before starting and I wanted to see how summoning worked in XIV. Absolutely 0 lore/character consideration! 😅

I don’t write Misago swearing much—at least for my NG+ project, I try to match the tone and style of the game’s text. But i also don’t think he would all that much, at least not openly. The longer he hangs around with Estinien and the older he gets, I certainly imagine him loosening up⬇️

Misago absolutely needs it! He tends to repress a lot of his trauma, which comes back to haunt him later, especially during EW in the form of flashbacks, nightmares, and in high-stress situations hallucinations. He is not good at dealing with it and would really benefit from help!

Absolutely yes! As a vital ingredient for his favorite food (sandwiches), he never wastes a piece of bread! (Unless it is Archon loaf, which he abhors)

Misago's canon has him going solo for all the trials until 5.3 and receiving the crystal of Azem. For dungeons, he brings a crew based on the NPC availability, except for Aetherochemical Research Facility, which is also a solo adventure.

Misago was a little too nervous to say or do too much in Elpis, so he didn't ask. Hythlodaeus did share some small things with him here and there on his own, as well as a few hints from Venat. In the end, he doesn't learn much about his Azem, who remains a mystery.

Misago's aether/soul is purple! A dusky, dark lavender color. When he visited Elpis, the robes Hythlodaeus helped make for him ended up a slight shade of purple accidentally (though Hyth tells him that Azem would have done it on purpose!).

Misago just loves sandwiches, crust or no crust! If given the option, he would prefer crust.

Misago doesn't dislike crowded places, but there's a certain stillness and mystery in secluded places, especially when he's by himself in a new place that makes those moments extra special for him.

The most notable physical symptom of Misago's light poisoning was his hair lightening back to the way it had been when he was younger, but with some permanent streaks of white. His skin also began to turn white, especially under his eyes, though that went away. His other physical...

My biggest deviation/change isn't all that big in the grand scheme of things. Shiosai and Misago are biological brothers! Misago is older by ~4 years and was taken to La Noscea with his mother shortly after Shiosai was born, leaving Shiosai alone in Sui-no-Sato.

Misago's hair darkens over the course of MSQ due to age and (mostly) stress, and then lightens as he absorbs light during ShB. Post-ShB, his hair no longer darkens at all due to the presence of the crystal of Azem, as his hair color is one of the only traits he inherited from his Azem.

Misago's biggest argument was with Merlwyb—he has several moments with her, but the biggest one was during the parley with Garlemald before Ghimlyt Dark. It was a very "never meet your heroes" kind of moment for him. He had always looked up to her since he was a kid, but hearing...

Oceans! Misago is an avid swimmer and loves being near the water. I like to think that even though he doesn't remember his very early childhood in his birthplace of Sui-no-Sato, he still has a connection to and affinity for water having been born under the sea.

Misago was born in Sui-no-Sato, but his mother took him with her when she left at a young age (~5) and he doesn't remember it at all. (A story for another time!)

They settled in a small trading village in NE La Noscea and Misago has always considered himself Eorzean/La Noscean. ⬇️

Misago shifts around a bit over time, but usually lands on one canon class. These aren't all his glams (there are so many!) but a couple representative ones!
ARR: (SMN →) PLD
HW & StB: PLD
ShB: (PLD → SMN →) GNB
EW: GNB (→ PLD)
DT: PLD

Misago's hands are usually very warm! His grip is firm and gentle, especially considering his size. When he's very nervous or distressed, his hands will shake and he has a habit of holding them when that happens to try and hide it and get them to stop.

Misago is usually punctual and on-time to events. He doesn't often arrive early, but also isn't usually late unless something came up along the way. But if there is no set time of arrival for something, he'll show up whenever he gets that far and will take his time on the way.

Get ready for a long one! Going all the way back to ARR for this one!
Misago's first big crush during MSQ was Haurchefant. He fondly remembered fighting alongside him while resolving the issue with the inquisitor, so he was excited to return to work with him again shortly after. 🧵

It really depends on the situation for Misago. Mild nerves or embarrassed? Lots of uhs and ums. Romantically? Blushes very bright red in his face. Distressed? His hands shake, sometimes spreading through his arms and rest of his body in extreme cases.
