Good to have you!
I'll echo Ragnar's sentiments in that I'm not EU either, though I'm generally up fairly late. I do have a lot of commitments in-game, but I do my best to make time for people if they poke me about it.
Merri isn't exactly old, but he's definitely older than most. Technically he should be 34, but being one of the time-skipped adventurers that was at Carteneau, he's physically 29. So he's old, but not old. I won't ramble on too much about his character here, as I like to try and allow most things to be discovered ICly or at least discussed in private, but he's "experienced". Whether it's combat, or adventuring, or whatever~
In line with Ragnar as well, whoever you go with, I'm always down for meeting new people and making connections, even if it's just an occasional thing. I'm also totally open to building backstory with people, as Merri's background makes it incredibly easy, given all the traveling he did. Merri does have a strong love for introducing people to the world of adventuring, at the very least, so he'd be totally on board with some one who's enthusiastic about it.
And as far as lore goes, I absolutely don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'm probably one of a small handful of people on the RPC that have near an encyclopedic knowledge on the lore of XIV. Back during 1.0, studying lore was one of my favorite things to do. (Given for a time, there wasn't much else to do, and I really enjoyed what lore there was.) I used to be active on the official forum's lore section as well, though it's been awhile since I've posted there. If you dig around, you'll find some of my old threads here on the RPC that are loaded with information. Some if it being stuff you can't find anymore, as the references were removed at the end of 1.0. Regardless of whether or not anything happens ICly, you are always more than welcome to shoot me a PM here on the forums with any questions, and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. (And that goes for anyone reading this!)
Suffice it to say, I've soaked up most everything of significant note (and even the little things) that ARR has pushed out so far. I haven't done one in awhile, but I started to do posts on the FFXIV subreddit where I let people ask any questions they have about the lore of the game, and either provide a concrete answer or as close to one as I can with that lore we do have confirmed. I'm thinking about doing one this very weekend, now, actually.
You can find the first one here~
