Post-Animus Epilogue

( This is the path I chose... )

Tower of Animus Trunk

• A set of clothes bought for him by Sola-Ui consisting of a white button down shirt, black slacks, black belt, shoes, and socks. The shirt was destroyed when he was attacked by an orc while powerless. He made a green sleeveless long tunic to replace it.
• A large sketch book and pencil. (Plus another gotten in March via request.) <--Both slightly water-damaged from March's event, but otherwise intact.
• A bronze torc given to him by Oscar. Given to Cu Chulainn in December.
• A battered handmade cushion made by his daughter.
• A small leather pouch containing a handful of quicken berries from The Fairy Tree of Dooros.
• A shard of yellow metal from Gae Buidhe's handle with several runes inscribed on it. He made several charms for people from small pieces of the larger shard (including Kariya and Suzaku), however what was left of the shard disappeared when Gae Buidhe itself was returned to him in January.

Other Possessions:

Regains/Possessions of Special Note:

• Regain in September: Aengus' cloak of invisibility which was given to him as a wedding gift. (Stripped of its power? Waiting on mods. Just going to go with yes on this, since I never got an answer.)--Given to Suzaku right before they are sent home.
• Request granted by Zo in November (Request placed by Cu): His hunting hound, Mac an Chuill. (Would be the ancestor of modern Irish Wolfhounds most likely, so a little bigger and faster?)
• Waver's reclaim from September: A fire-damaged box of old guitar picks.
• A tarnished and almost worn smooth Turk pin from Reno. (He wears this on his collar.)
• Cu Chulainn's wolf/crescent moon necklace. (He wears this too.)
• Waver's sunglasses (Diarmuid will carry/wear these once his real powers start coming back 'just to be safe' in regards to his curse.)
• Regain in January: Gae Buidhe with powers as described here. It is not the Noble Phantasm version of the weapon, but the version he would have carried during his first life.--Given to Ken right before they are sent home.
• A silver ring with Celtic knot-work on it. Waver has a matching one. (The rings were made by Reno.)
• Ken's battered and patched coat.
• Suzaku's cloak.

Other Belongings:

• a small crystal charm with runes carved into it on a chain from Cu Chulainn.
• some cookies in a bag from Mami
• some chocolates in a box from Tohko--The box is now used to hold his letters, pictures and other small trinkets so they aren't lost.
• a small, ornate wooden box holding some loose-leaf tea (Irish Breakfast) and a small bottle of Irish cream liqueur from Lambdadelta
• Rough, though completely useable (and completely powerless) versions of Moralltach and Beagalltach made by Waver. Both of these were lost in the fight with Sephiroth on Nov 15th, Floor 62. The copy of Moralltach was thrown into the deepest part of the ocean by Sephiroth and the copy of Beagalltach was irreparably broken during the fight.
• Two copies One copy of a detailed list of the towers floors, their dangers, what monsters seem to frequent them, and any other important information he's found during his patrols. One is a 'clean' copy is written in the tower's common language (Given to Taiki right before they go home), while the other is a much messier copy written in ancient Gaelic and has a lot more of Diarmuid's own thoughts, feelings and theories on it.
• A roughly folded paper rose made by Cu Chulainn and a roughly folded flower, bird and dog made by Zo.
• A recipe for cookies and a note that says Keep working hard! from Mami. (Her departure gift.)
• Replacement versions of the swords Waver made for him. (Still film.)
• A copy of this note.
• A pair of very gaudy pants made for him by Cu to sleep in.
• A shirt made by Xion.
• A sleeveless green tunic he made to replace the ruined dress shirt.
• His harp--broken and wrapped in a blanket made by his daughter. (Left by Grainne who got them in her trunk when she arrived.)
• A blue scarf and leather jacket from Rick.
• A bottle of apple cider from also from Rick.
• A charcoal etching/drawing of the faces of his children from Grainne's cup.
• Grainne's damaged comb.

Death Seven: January 15th (Woke up on the 16th.) Died protecting Nyx during the Big Bad's revenge plot. Seventh death repercussion here.


Note 1: Was cursed by the fairy rings with puppy ears and a tail on Nov 18th. Lost after his death on Dec 16th.
Note 2: His pet name for Waver, Mo Stór, roughly translates to 'my treasure.'
Note 3: Per the mods, no matter what restoration of powers/bodies the characters accomplish in game it can be assumed that his Love Spot continues to be limited. And the muse screams "YAY!"
Note 4: Because Waver volunteers to be in the first group of people to test the new collar fluid, Diarmuid will wait until the collar fluid is given out to the full Tower population in order to make sure he is able to protect him (and others in his circle who are being test subjects). As a result, he will not start getting his powers back until after the two test rounds of collar fluid changes. He will get the new fluid on Jan 18th and so will be completely powerless from Jan 18th to the 25th. After that he will slowly start regaining abilities and return to full power with real powers on Feb 22nd (provided he doesn't die and have to start over during that time). Rough power return timeline:

( Power Return Timeline )

Note 5: After the room shift in March, Waver is in Room 02-04 (with Lelouch, Samwise and Aleph).  His room is now empty besides him as all three of those people characters have been dropped.
Note 6: (Head canon) The name of the woman affected by his curse who killed herself in front of him when he wouldn't be with her is Iseult.
Note 7: The names of Diarmuid's children are here with the last being his daughter.  More headcanon child info is here.  (Put together with Zen's help.)

Animus Permissions Post (Spoilers)

Specific Power Permission:

That Darned Spot:  Lancer has a small mole under his right eye that is the physical manifestation of the curse he carries.  Any woman who sees his face, falls in love with him.  While those with strong magical resistance usually can brush off the curse unless they wish to be under its influence, those with no magical talents have no ability to do so.  This curse is one that Lancer has no control over, much to his displeasure.

In the tower, things have gone from bad to worse.  While the curse itself is not as strong as it used to be, when it works is now random and Lancer has no way of knowing when it is and isn't working.

If you are interested in your character developing some kind of crush on Lancer because of the curse, post below to let me know!  Similarly, if  you want to make sure that your character never becomes a victim of the curse, post below to opt out!
