When it comes to RP, being spot-on with lore and having an interesting, believable character come of that lore is as important to me as it is to so many role-players (perhaps to the point of being a little obsessive-compulsive, for me). The problem is that I get myself overwhelmed when trying to research the lore on my own time, especially given some of my time restraints. I find myself focusing too much on the information I may not need so much for my character, even though I want to learn it all. I get only X amount of time to spend gaming and try not to spend all of it getting absorbed in learning, but I don't want to just leap headfirst into RP here without a clue. I've been playing to level up and reading here and there on the side.

Anyway, I would like to present my character concept here to seek the advice, critiques, and suggestions of the community, especially if someone can recommend interesting "RP goals" I might set for my character in particular. I have, at the very least, read into information about the character's race to get a feel for her background and personality, as a start. I love the Miqo'te lore.

To make this post seem less like a wall of text, I'm sticking my character's info in spoiler tags. It's abit of a read, but I thank anyone who reads and takes the time to help me out in any way! I appreciate it more than I can express.

For potential RP connections, I have an odd schedule of activity from midnight EST and onward, more freedom given on days off if I'm actually home.

Character InfoMy Miqo'te Seeker of the Sun's name is N'arysha Eshir. Going by the N denoting her belonging to the Aldgoat Tribe, which are creatures found in rocky, mountainous regions, I assumed it's feasible the tribe (or a portion of it) could be located near Ul'dah, the city in which my character started. I couldn't find lore information on the known locations of the Miqo'te Seeker tribes, but I know that they represent their tribes by an animal said to protect the tribe.

She was sired by a Miqo'te who only became a nunh by luck; he was not incredibly strong, but he was boastful, arrogant, and egotistic, and took advantage of the previous nunh by challenging him after hearing rumors of him falling ill, rumors kept mostly guarded. Many other members of the tribe knew nothing of the nunh's illness and assumed that N'eshir had won by skill alone, letting him hold his position for several years.

Discovering this truth with her very inquisitive nature led to N'arysha being ashamed of not only her sire, pushed back into the position of tia during her teenage years, but her tribe as a whole. She was appalled that N'eshir had not been held accountable for exploiting the previous nunh's illness for his own self-gain. So few members of the tribe knew of this, but they choice to stay quiet; N'arysha could not see the logic in this.

She is just shy of 20 years of age now and has spent roughly the past four years studying with the Thaumaturges' Guild in Ul'dah, maintaining the respect of her peers by carefully-practiced solitude and devotion to her studies. She's a bit reclusive and seems cold, still a bit wary of other people even after four years in the city, but she holds a particular bit of respect for the Lalafell in light of her Guildmaster being one.

Her other personality traits, especially being so young, are a general ignorance in regards to the world (this helps me better ease into the lore, but hopefully does not make me seem lazy about it, because to counterbalance this I seek to get into the lore of magic for her in-character knowledge). She's a bit quick-tempered and proud; she hates being wrong and holds high faith in her knowledge of all things related to the workings of the world.

For her character, I would love, aside from any advice or feedback, and be as blunt as needed or ask any questions to find out if I've considered certain things, I would love any lore resources on the world's magic. I haven't fully decided her goals beyond her understanding as much of it as can be known, possibly discovering something new and being credited for it (possible RP plots?) and finding her place in the world (maybe a given)
