Your profile looks pretty fine, with some small exception. Quote:Separate from the main Amalj'aa force is a small splinter group known as the Brotherhood of Ash. Unlike the rest of their race, the Brotherhood is a society of honorable warriors. Their leader, Hamujj Gah, claims that all of Amalj'aa society was originally like theirs, before the reliance on Ifrit worship (or, more specifically, Ifrit's relentless tempering of his adherents) corrupted the rest of the race. The Brotherhood of Ash isn't really buying what Ifrit is selling. They're kind of at war with those who believe in the Fire God. Other than that, he seems like a fine take on the "tribal" miqo'te concept. RE: So just let me throw this miqo'te at you - zambezi - 03-31-2015 (03-31-2015, 02:09 PM)Warren Castille Wrote: Hi!

From what I've seen doing the beast tribe quests and whatnot, they dont seem to be completely against Ifrit, just opposing the way that the rest of the amalj'aa see him? To me it seemed like a division vaguely similar to catholics and protestants, but please do correct me if I'm wrong. :3 RE: So just let me throw this miqo'te at you - Warren Castille - 03-31-2015 (03-31-2015, 02:13 PM)holdbackjohnny Wrote:(03-31-2015, 02:09 PM)Warren Castille Wrote: Hi!

I do admit it's been a while since I've completed them (and I'm looking for full text bricks now to refresh myself) but I was under the impression they saw Ifrit's tempering as a curse that robbed them of their identity - Hell, most of the quests have to deal with finding ways to break tempering so that they might try and rehabilitate their brothers. It's vague, but I thought they were convinced Ifrit was a bad idea.

Could you be one of the champions said to have laid low the Lord of the Inferno? Quote:hoar·y Ifrit besmirches the proud way of the warrior. It's not befitting a proud Amal'jaa. Edit: That part up above is from the opening quest. The text I'm about to post is from the first "real" Amal'jaa quest. Quote: #2 Hamujigah We, the Amalj'aa, were once simple nomads who roamed the vast plains of Paglth'an. If any sought to impede our path, we relished the challenge to our skill at arms. Edit: And more: Quote: #46 Hamujigah Honored ally, with your continued aid, the Brotherhood of Ash will rekindle the glory of our past.

Perhaps the tribe's negative outlook on Ifrit worship sparked (ha, puns) a curiosity within your character about him. This could have lead to a secret fascination with the Primal, pretty much along how you describe him, except it would be an exciting and personal secret that he would keep from his tribe. This route could also lead to some interesting character development down the road, as he gradually realizes that the object of his admiration is actually a terrible and merciless beast who wishes to enslave all of Eorzea to his will. Just a suggestion though! Feel free to ignore! RE: So just let me throw this miqo'te at you - Saiyuki Kobuki - 03-31-2015 Hi there! Welcome to the world of RP!

I was thinking about this on my drive home, and rereading that quest text there's nothing in it that specifically says "Boo, Ifrit." They decry blind worship, and they decry avoiding glorious death, and they go on about fighting honorably, but nowhere do they express umbrage with Ifrit himself. It would stand happily in the grey areas, I think, that they might not revere Ifrit but they can certainly acknowledge his powers as a primal. Tempering is bad, yes, and blind zealotry is worse, yes, but Ifrit represents the eternally burning flame and commands a wealth of power. Pardon my blaspheming here, but there's a big difference between Old Testament Big G and New Testament Big G. It's possible to worship the New one while not feeling the Old one was very just. In short, do whatever. Just be aware that open worship of a primal is probably grounds for execution in "civilized' Eorzea because they'd assume you are tempered. |
