When attending, Silent shows up exactly on time as specified, usually on the dot to an uncanny degree. If he's somehow early or late, he will apologize. When hosting, Silent makes certain to be at least two bells early in order to finalize anything, and to make sure he misses nothing. #silentqotd

Silent is not normally a violent person and tries to avoid using force in a situation if it can be helped, but he is not a pacifist and has no compunctions with doing so if he feels that it is required. Silent is often forced to use violence to fulfill his duty as hero and defender. #silentqotd

Silent would be skeptical of the deal and decline. If he knew it was legitimate, he would easily accept, feeling that he could help many and learn much over the course of an eternity. He'd underestimate how emotionally numb he could become eventually. Still benevolent, just numb. #silentqotd

Silent very rarely initiates conversation, choosing mostly to respond. Whenever he responds or adds his own input, he speaks with brevity and complete honesty. Topics that Silent enjoys include physical training, asking Silent for favors, and discussing politics. #silentqotd

Silent doesn't get jealous. He is too focused on constantly improving himself to feel this way. If someone manages to impress him, he views it as a positive thing rather than feeling bitter or envious towards that person. #silentqotd

Silent does not have biological children, but if he did he would be quite the helicopter parent. He would likely attempt to emulate his own mother in the way that she mentored him, but he might not realize that he can be too tough at times in the specific way that he teaches. #silentqotd

gn

Silent does not care to have a preference for a specific color. If asked, his answer would change depending on how he is feeling. Notably, he dislikes metallic gold, and this distaste grows with its luster and abundance. To Silent, the shine of gold brings to mind insatiable avarice. #silentqotd

Silent finds sweet desserts cloying and dislikes them. Concentrated sweetness upsets his stomach in a crippling manner, much to his embarrasment. He does partake of alcohol occasionally for recreation and celebration, which could be considered a treat as he is well aware it is a vice. #silentqotd

by level 30 you should have removed Cure from your hotbars completely

I am weak and I bought the last half of the parts. I lost like 4,000 fire shards crafting tho. -10,000,000gil

Silent has had past romances, all occuring around his thirties while he was looking for fulfillment. It's been so long and meant so little to him that Silent doesn't remember any names. He tried dating as a coping mechanism instead of for genuine feelings, which is why they failed. #silentqotd

Silent will simply repeat his "no." If the matter is still pressed, he will ignore any further insistence or sometimes even outright leave the situation. However, if coercion is attempted (physical or otherwise), Silent will likely respond in kind with similar "coercion" of his own. #silentqotd

Metaphorical: While there are exceptions in crises, Silent would rather have the full measure of a situation before he acts rather than rush in or act too early in a way that cannot be undone. Literal: A verbal command to stand down will be given, afterwards force will be applied. #silentqotd

Silent Bramble is a pessimistic realist, always expecting and making preparations for what he can imagine the worst-case scenario to be in any given situation. Silent doesn't wallow in despair or ignore good fortunes, but he would rather not take risks or naively hope things go his way. #silentqotd

submersible crafting ouuuugh

Silent has grown to be unbothered by the sight of blood, injury, or death. He's seen quite his share over his years, including multiple massacres, wars, and the Calamity. The most that could happen now is that he may possibly internally cringe for a moment, and then quickly move on. #silentqotd

Silent only enjoys combat in a sparring or training scenario. Otherwise, he will fight only when he must. Even during battle, Silent will prioritize protecting both himself and his allies, and even protecting his foe / holding back if he is able to nonlethally subdue them. #silentqotd

In combat, Silent prioritizes keeping his guard up and will rarely go on the offensive, preferring to let his enemies tire themselves out and yield in the face of impregnable defense, or wait for his enemies to overextend or let down their own guard and exploit each opening as it comes. #silentqotd

+ extremely loyal and selfless + strong and capable of defending himself and others + focused, though this can be potentially detrimental - very hard to get to know, keeping most at arm's length - possesses prejudice to beastmen races - focus can lead to dogged stubborness sometimes #silentqotd

Silent has a bad habit of staring wordlessly at others. He seems to be unaware of how offputting this can be to some. Silent perceives staring as just an idle habit, but his quiet intensity, imposing stature, and natural scowl can come across to some as odd or even sinister. #silentqotd

Silent sends letters to others for multiple reasons, whether that be that his intended recipient is unavailable via linkshell, or Silent is simply occupied with other things at the moment and cannot physically go to see them. Silent also commonly uses mogmail to send and receive items. #silentqotd

Silent Bramble is not the type to give up easily. Only after he has pushed himself to his limits will he concede, and even then he is no stranger to breaking even those limits and pushing himself even further. A natural strong will combined with excess dynamis will do that to a person. #silentqotd

GIVE ME AERSLAENT. We have crumbs lorewise other than "oh the Roes and trolls are from there lol" We need more Roe lore We need more Roe content

Silent is hard to work with. He concerns himself more with the task at hand rather than playing nice. He rarely communicates. He rarely compromises. The vibe would feel more like "two people individually working on the same project" rather than actually collaborating with him.

Silent learned how to play the piano while in Ishgard as part of his time aiding in the reconstruction (Firmament questline). He should be able to play other keyed instruments using the same technique if he tried, though he may struggle to be gentle with a harpsichord's keys. #silentqotd

Archbishop Thordan VII was 42 years old when he was named Bishop in the Ishgardian's clergy. However, at this time, he also broke his vow of celibacy. Aware that such a scandal could be used against him, he suppressed his rivals until after he was elected.

Any time Silent has failed to prevent the death of another sentient being, whether it be through failure to protect them from mortal harm, or if he was forced to end their life to protect himself or others. While Silent doesn't allow his guilt to consume him, he still feels the shame. #silentqotd

What's behind the eyepatch?

Silent used to be a Gladiator with no magical ability, but he managed to both obtain a Paladin job crystal as well as learn basic magicks during Sultansworn training earlier in his life, even if he ultimately ended up deciding against officially joining the Sultansworn position itself. #silentqotd

Silent's prefers a sword and shield, as they offer him a mix of attack and defense. If you made Silent pick one or the other, he would choose the shield, as he very much prefers protection in a fight. Plus, with his strength, a large shield can serve as a powerful weapon regardless. #silentqotd

Metaphorical lemons: Eat the lemons raw. Silent takes the bad with the good and he bears it. Literal lemons: Eat the lemons raw. Silent simply enjoys the taste and pure sourness of raw lemons. #silentqotd

Not eaten intentionally, no, but Silent has been unfortunate enough to have accidentally swallowed inedible substances such as seawater, dirt, or mud on a couple of occasions during battle. Reactions from his allies have ranged from "Silent! Are you alright?" to "So, how'd it taste?" #silentqotd

I have headcanoned that Hellsguard smell faintly of ash and earth, so I associate with Silent some combination of these elements. Perhaps something slightly more smoky due to his smoking habit. #silentqotd

Silent's preferred drink is water, and he ensures that he always stays hydrated a healthy amount, as it would not do for him to collapse while out and about. He is also the type to remind others to likewise stay hydrated by offering them water, should they look like they need some. #silentqotd

Dialogue in the 1st section of Arcadion said fighters were usually immortalized by age 20, we've known the characters are mid to older teens (using adult models per usual for FF14 for any non-Elf 16 & up). The story is about young people being burned up for entertainment.

these glasses............

im gonna throw up why is he so handsome

now that you're all traumatized by the topic of unrealistically young ages in final fantasy, i can traumatize you further

Silent is almost peerless in his physical strength, excelling at anything that requires raw power and elbow grease, such as mining, logging, hauling, or "desynthesizing" (breaking). #silentqotd

Silent's hands are weathered and rough like the rest of him, covered in calluses, and he even has a scar on his left wrist. Silent is a stranger to neither labor nor battle, meaning his hands have seen years of use and abuse, and they certainly show it. #silentqotd

It depends on the intensity. Silent is unbothered by light or mild rains, but heavy rains and storms mean he will likely be spending the day inside. Perhaps reading, exercising, doing miscellaneous chores, or simply sleeping. #silentqotd

Rain is appreciated by Silent, who has spent most of his life in the Thanalan region where rain is rare and often a relieving reprieve from the usual desert heat. His favorite weather is just before and just after a storm, when dark clouds cover the sun and provide shade and cooling. #silentqotd

Jorts is still learning the ropes at Tanking, and got a pep talk from Lauren.

Silent tends to not repeat mistakes in most things, but in regards to interpersonal connections, it is a cycle. While he is initially detached, Silent may rarely open up and form bonds. If these bonds are later broken, he will curse himself for having formed them in the first place. #silentqotd

Silent does not easily get attached to other people, and he prefers it this way. He has used his detachment to develop his image as a lone, unaffected paragon, and this doubly defends Silent against loss or betrayal. It also emphasizes the depth and strength of the bonds Silent has. #silentqotd

Silent displays great self-control, he manages his emotions on a constant basis, acts logically instead of impulsively, and chooses to stay silent instead of speaking his mind. It's rather hard to make him snap, though a surefire way is to harm someone that Silent cares greatly for. #silentqotd

What makes Silent most happy is peace. The pursuit of peace is what drives him, and every time he helps to make the world even a little bit more peaceful, even if only for a moment, is when he feels most happy. #silentqotd

On that note, happy Senior Citizen's Day to all senior citizens and senior citizen enthusiasts alike.
