See, that's the thing. I try my best not to make those kinds of "concept" characters, but I wrote one of my characters into a corner, and I'm not usually one to retcon. I do understand where you're coming from, but overall I think it's time for a new main character. I do plan on keeping them as an alt, but I think it's better overall to change things up.

While the Meracydian origin is still under some contention sadly, you're right in that it's entirely possible and even likely that additional Miqo'te tribes migrated to places other than Eorzea around the same time period or later. We can solidly place Miqo'te in the Near East and Ilsabard and Meracydia - all of which have had trade with Limsa and all of which have trade with the Far East. There's even a Miqo'te trader hawking Far Eastern goods. Additionally, the Garleans have occupied Othard for over 25 years, and having conscripts of all races among their number, it's hard to say which Eorzean races couldn't be living beyond Eorzea's borders. Moving beyond speculation though, we do have solid lore placing the following races in Othard: Hyur (Midlander and Highlander models), Lalafell (Plainsfolk model), and Au Ra (three clans). I say "models" specifically because the clans we're familiar with are Eorzean-centric clans and while an Eorzean might identify a Far Eastern Highlander as a Highlander, he may be of a different clan, according to designations within the lore book. Using the races we know of, we can actually do some minor racial distribution between the Othardian city-states. Doma: Midlander Hyur, Plainsfolk Lalafell, Raen Au Ra Hingashi: Midlander Hyur, Plainsfolk Lalafell, Raen Au Ra, Haragin Xaela Au Ra Bozja: Hyur, Lalafell, Xaela Au Ra Rabanastre: Highlander Hyur, (Dunesfolk?) Lalafell, Xaela Au Ra If there are Miqo'te in Othard, the largest concentration would've likely been in Hingashi (as it has trade with the Near East) and Bozja (Othard's largest trade hub before it was destroyed), but it's not possible to say with any more certainty yet. Hope this helps! ^^ It does, thank you! I do have another question. If my theoretical Miqo'te hailed from Doma specifically, they would most likely adhere to their naming conventions. Would that be correct? My knowledge of naming conventions is fuzzy at best.

I've been playing around with a few character concepts, as I've found myself in a rut with my current character. One idea was pitched to me by a friend, and that was a Doman Miqo'te. While I personally believe it's possible, as not all Miqo'te ended up in Eorzea after they left Meracydia, and some probably ended up on Othard and therefore Doma. However, other races might have ended up there, and most likely in many other places. What do you think of non-Eorzean characters?

Hello! I have recently begun considering making a clanless Seeker of the Sun character. I am personally not too interested in the tribal aspect, but I also like the other side of it. Those who willingly split from the pack to find their own path, free of tribal life. Now, I'm probably going to make this character regardless of what is said, but I want to hear everyone's thoughts on clan/tribeless Seekers.

Bumping this up a bit since I've returned to FFXIV for now!

Hey guys, just wanted you to know that this was a great event, and I was happy to participate! The drink mixing contest was especially fun, and I'm happy to have attended! Keep on keeping on, KinRP.

Made a couple new edits, mostly for LSes and to remove characters I don't use much anymore.

We have a Discord now! If you're interested, please join to ask any questions pertaining to the LS/organization.

Added a few bits of text here and there, and made the rules list much more concise. Also, we're up to 7 members, woo! Remember, if you're interested, message Mika Nel in game!

Whoops! Realized the post was set to "Closed" instead of "Invitation". Fixed.

[align=center]"Us gloryseekers gotta stick together, eh?" From the fabled, living legends of today, and the fledgling fighters of tomorrow, the Bloodworks is a network of people who fight, or want to fight, on the Bloodsands. All weapons, all disciplines are welcome, as long as they're capable of ending up the last one standing. Are you looking for an ally within the arena? Are you looking for a mentor to teach you the finer points of disemboweling your opponent while the crowd cheers you on? Hell, maybe if you've got a few tales of valor in the arena yourself and you want to brag? The Bloodworks is the place for you. C'mon in, friend. The Bloodworks is an OOC LS for the organization of good Bloodsands gladiator roleplay! Newcomers are welcome to join us. While we don't require that you know everything about the Bloodsands (In fact, I'd be more than happy to tell you what there is to know!), we do require a bit of knowledge on how to roleplay and write well. RECRUITMENT Pretty much all you have to do is be active and follow the rules. Message the following for an invite to the LS. Mika Nel (GLORIOUS LEADER) U'roh Tia Miata Luna Alternatively, forum messaging me is fine as well. RULES 1: If you generally act like an ass, I'm going to slam dunk you into next week. SERIOUSLY, be excellent to one another. Slurs, bigotry, and hatred aren't cool. We all slip up and say something we regret, but don't make a habit out of it. 2: If you have a serious issue with someone in the LS, even if you're not in it yourself, bring it up to me personally. Proof is always a plus when accusations are exceptionally dire. 3: This is an IC organization, but this is an OOC linkshell for coordination. DISCORD We have a Discord now! Please, message me if this link expires. https://discord.gg/0ra7czGmJkXzWmq2[/align]

I. Basic Info Characters: Mika Nhera, Wildcard of the Bloodsands and the Fourteenth's Fear. Runs a small store for custom weapony and clothing. Primary character: Mika Nhera. I'm usually on her, so that's the character you should message if you want to contact me. Linkshells: None. I'd like to change that. Primary RP linkshell: None. II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Medium. I still love playing FFXIV, so I might be busy with PVE and such. I still love roleplaying, however! Views on RP combat and injuries: I'd prefer to avoid it, but I am alright with it from time to time. Injuries will probably happen, but let's keep death/dismemberment out of the picture. Views on IC romance: This is something Mika craves, but I'm rather picky on who I do romantic RP with. I'd have to know someone a bit OOC before it can progress to this sort of RP, due to previous experiences. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Mika may have a brother or sister or three, and her mother and father are alive. If you're looking to play either, go ahead and ask me. I'm gonna be pretty picky about who does portray members of the Nhera family, though. Views on lore: Lore is important. It gives us a basis on what to do. However, while lore is important, that doesn't mean it's sacred. Bending and breaking can lead to interesting stuff. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I prefer to RP in /say and /emote. III. Other Info Country:America Timezone:Central Timezone, CST, GMT -6 Contact info:Skype and Steam are usually what I use, but I don't like to put them on a public forum for everyone to see. PM for info.
