• He's a kid at heart, which generally means he's usually pretty decent to be around, if not aggravating – the kid's smart. A little too smart, and given the right motive and opportunity, will probably rob you of about half your gil.
  
• As you might have figured from the above, he's a little bit of a criminal, though it's only ever in just stealing things.
  
• He's homeless, so he often wanders everywhere and sleeps wherever. For the most part, stealing is done to survive – and probably get a little bit extra. He's had a few rough runs with people trying to take advantage of him, though it hardly affects much -- he's initially hard to trust, but... it takes little to no effort to dazzle him into admiration, usually.
  
• He probably could settle down and try to claw his way up, but nah. He ain't about that life. Kid's got ambition, dreams. Those dreams usually change every time you talk to him, but the goal is the same: he wants to make it big.
  
• Feel free to call him an idiot – he's not good at keeping his cool, and while he knows how to lie and act, he's not that great at it. He has a bunch of obvious cues and can get riled up pretty easily – his attempts to try and match a far more superior opponent (in terms of wit, acting, cunning, etc.) can be pretty amusing.
  
• He's had some time to adjust from leaving his tribe, and he took really well to living in the cities – tribal life is a mystery to him; it felt comfortable,sure, but stuffy. Boring.
  

Quote:Serious Business: 
Is your character Mr. Grumpygills? Someone did something undesirable to their cereal that day? Village burned down by an arch-nemesis? WELL. Rhiki isn't really someone to try and soothe another. He might offer words of comfort, but his idea of getting someone on their feet is usually by trying to drag them onto their feet or by trying to be such an overly positive energy and get them to start moving to either join in his positivity or to strangle him. Either works.
But what if they aren't nice? Rhiki can be an enemy. An annoying, obnoxious enemy. He'll take your gil, if not your shoe. And if he can't steal,he'll hinder you in some petty, silly way – putting rocks in your shoe, playing crocodile tears to the nearby law enforcement, or something.
And hey, maybe they could be friends. He is still a child – his energy and way of thinking could sometimes be refreshing. He could be like a puppy, and be a good companion to have good Banter with, or he could simply be a background character who offers a moment of respite. Probably.

Quote:Birds of a Feather:
Likewise, others similar to Rhiki can have interesting interactions.
Anyone happy-go-lucky or as young as he is would be pretty cute – and interesting, depending on the differences in ideals. Otherwise, it's at least a nice, lighthearted series of interactions, and could lead to either fast friends or fast enemies depending on how well (or how badly) they may clash. Think of how kids can get into pretty serious arguments and such over miscommunication and... really petty stuff. Except their 'serious arguments' are usually squabbles and scraps.

Quote:The Not-So-Lame-os: 
Does your character actually do a thing?A job, though not of the criminal variety – that comes later. Simply put: there's probably a hook in there someway or another, whether it's Rhiki taking up a job as being the packrat/temporary assistant, being an actual assistant (albeit a constantly wayward and easily distracted one), or the kid who tags along when you're on important errands and either tries to take your stuff or shows genuine curiosity in what you do. He's seen a lot of the city, but he hasn't seen much of what the Big Boys do – that is, people with actual jobs. Careers. Studies.
And at the worst, he can always just laugh at your job if its something he thinks is really lame, but there's usually some intrigue to be found.

Quote:Miqo'te:
A category all on its own, because there's just a bunch of different things that could be done.
Males– be prepared for an annoying tag-along, especially competent(-looking)Keepers. Seekers, too, because they have a lot more stuff going on-- who the heck is 'Nuhn' and 'Tia' and why do they have so many kids?! (he really doesn't know what the heck's up with Seeker culture), and they also look kinda cool.
Depending on the personality, be prepared for a scrap, too... one that Rhiki will probably lose due to his overall inexperience. Poor kid.
Females– Beat. Him. UP. He's not entirely sure how to go about handling females. He's not necessarily awkward, per se – but the female Miqo'te he's ever interacted with were his siblings. You know, girls who were eventually raised to be hunters and gatherers. More often than not, he's just blunt and acts as usual, if not a little more loose-tongued and likely to offend.

Quote:The D A R K S I D E:
Hooray, darker connections! Criminals, void people, etc. – feel free to either corrupt this kid or make a fool out of him. Really, it'll probably be fun to watch, and interesting to play. I'll probably actually add DRK to his list of classes eventually, so a plot with that could be neato.
But otherwise. Ayyyyy criminals. B^)
At the very least, it'd be hilarious to watch a proper thief put him in his place. Imagine if he unwittingly tried to steal from one. Hell, what if he actually managed to do it? What if he failed and got robbed?
Good stuff, man.

So, there's a few things I can toss your way here...

First, there's Kasi. She's a wandering freelance mercenary, trader, and cook, that has a bit of a soft spot for other Miqo'te who might be down on their luck or trying to find their place in the world. She's kind of a racial nationalist in that respect. She's pretty experienced, and willing to train others on occasion too (with the greatsword and/or lance). That being said, she isn't without her darker side either and has numerous connections to organized crime as well as legitimate business. You can read all about her in my profile below!

Second, there's ShroudLife. If you are angling to get out of the towns and cities and embrace the wilderness (especially as a Miqo'te), there are a lot of opportunities here too. There's a lot of opportunities to link up with folks in this linkshell and encounter mercenaries, traders, and all other sorts along the roads of Eorzea. You can also read all about this in my signature.

Last but not least, there's free companies! If you're looking for event-driven, Miqo'te-centric RP, there's Shroudwolf. If you're more interested in going down the dark path with a lot of spontaneous RP and strong potential for conflict, there's Mischief's Coven. Both of these are (surprise surprise) also linked below!

In any case, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Otherwise, best of luck on your search!
