I have no idea what his weapon would have even counted as but going by how shitty his life was yeah probably

yes

WIL IS LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF CASSIM, he has a healthy, loving family and his hometown of Pherae had a really fair, capable marquess so everything was pretty great in his childhood. And then he ran away with his best friend when he was twelve because he was bored and he's an idiot. NEEDLESS TO SAY THINGS WENT TO SHIT PRETTY FAST, he and his friend split up pretty fast and he basically just wandered across the continent as a vagabond for four years. His main good trait is that he's a quick learner, especially from mistakes, so he really doesn't take anything for granted anymore. Like, anything. On the other hand, he's still practically a master at avoiding shit so if he were calmer in Thusia people would barely realize he had any problems. (As it is he's in like a constant state of trying not to go completely stir crazy so he's slipped up a few times.) The only time he ever brings up his past in canon is with two people he knew from his hometown (his best friend and his best friend's little sister, neither of which are conversations which apply to this Wil), with the one exception being the lady he enlisted in service to, Lyndis of Caelin, who topped him into telling her why he hadn't spoken to his parents in so long and made him promise to write them a letter and go see them after the war. And then for this Wil he totally failed that promise BY DYING and will probably never stop feeling really awful about it.

OH THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WIL AND CASSIM TOO, Wil didn't plan on dying and really hates that he died.; he's really grateful that the gods brought him back and sees Thusia as basically a way to redeem himself. Meanwhile Cassim was totally cool with dying and had in fact FINALLY CALMED DOWN AND ACHIEVED SOME SEMBLANCE OF PEACE? and really wanted to see his sister and Alibaba's mother again and then he showed up here. HE'S NOT HAPPY WITH IT.

but Wil is just a lot better at being happy than Cassim in general anyway.

ALSO RIN NEEDS TO MEET WIL :|a but that isn't a question

what does Rin think of Diarmuid's other roommates so far, then

oh wait BELATEDLY QUESTION

what are Diarmuid's feelings on hunting vs. fighting people

MANIPULATE PEOPLE??? the only special powers he had were from items that he doesn't have in Thusia and weren't actually attached to him in particular, but he is pretty good at manipulating people...

yeah Cassim forms opinions pretty quickly

big one is he thinks Akito's kind of a doormat. Before the whole optimism vs. pretending conversation he actually sort of distantly reminded him of Alibaba, but after that conversation the resemblance went away which is probably a good thing. That topic did shift things a lot already; before it he was more interested in Akito because he's a manipulative bastard and Akito seemed pretty simple and malleable, but after it he's a little more wary and has a little more respect, too.

IF HE KNOWS REVIVALS CAN HAPPEN? bring him back, yell at him, kill someone. IF HE DOESN'T KNOW REVIVALS CAN HAPPEN, skip steps 1 and 2.

REVERSE?

NOT VERY FAR, HE HAS YET TO GET KATOU'S OR AERTA'S NAME, THIS WILL PROBABLY CHANGE FAST THOUGH

HOW FAR IS ALIBABA IN HIS GRUMP BEFRIENDING QUEST
