I received a PM last night from another character (going to send a reply soon Flora but wanted to make this thread first!!) with close ties to Little Ala Mhigo and it got me to thinking that it's not a very huge settlement so other characters that call it home, or who come from there, or have close ties to it may know each other. I think it would be a bit larger than what we see there in game, with more residents not pictured and stuff. So it may be possible for characters to live there and still not know each other very well.
I had to do a little homework on the fall of Ala Mhigo and how Dimona came to reside there. If there is anything here that would work well with other characters please let me know. I'm still new and figuring things out a little bit. Nothing is carved in stone. Yet. lol
If the current year is 1578 or so and Dimona is 21 years old, she would have been born in 1557 which is the same year that Ala Mhigo fell to the Garlean Empire. Since she is an orphan I've figured that her father either died or was brainwashed by Garleans and her pregnant mother fled with other family, ultimately ending up in Little Ala Mhigo. I think the mother will have died in childbirth since that seems to make sense after all the exertion of fleeing their home and losing her husband. Her grandmother is alive though, and I think some of her aunts and uncles survived too. She has mentioned her cousins teasing her in some roleplay that has already happened, so she does have living family and may have been raised in Little Ala Mhigo by this family or friends of the family. I'm not really looking for it to be too tragic but more "this is why she is the way that she is" to explain her sense of independence and stuff. I don't think she has any vendetta or anything. She was too young. So Bruce Wayne she is not!
Dimona still lives in Little Ala Mhigo now but travels back and forth between Ul'dah a lot. She is trying to find her place in life. She has tried a few things already and some don't sit well with her, and others do. She is kind of a "jane of all trades" but I am focusing very heavily on the ROG/NIN job. This said I think she will be more of a blade wielder than any sort of actual ninja. I'm sure everyone is doing that now anyway and I want to kind of go the "rogue" instead of "ninja" route anyway.
So what I guess I'm looking for is if there are any other characters who are linked to Little Ala Mhigo, or who would like to tie together some back history. Maybe a cousin even or uncle/aunt (if much older). The only other NPC character I have given much detail for is Dimona's grandmother who is bedridden and unresponsive. The reasons for this are so far unexplained but I think she may just be shell shocked from all that happened with the Garlean occupation of Gyr Abania. Or maybe she's just senile. I haven't really figured it all out just yet and there's still a lot of wiggle room for me to change things if anyone wants to be involved with it.
Thanks!!
