The Countessa: An eccentric, cruel rich woman gets murdered by her slaves. Do her connections notice? Who murdered her? Did everyone scatter? Who let a kid go off on their own? Did no one look after him? If he was enslaved at 2 and escaped at 5, he spent more time as a slave puppet than he did as a person. Where did he learn to steal without being caught? Why didn't someone else just kidnap him? What did he do during the Calamity? How did a single child not die in the harsh environment of Eorzea?
Great! Â No worries, I like the questions and yes, there's definitely some holes in there. Some are intetional and others, like the Calamity I am still scratching my head as to how I'm going to explain that one honestly (Still reading up on it). Suffice to say some of the house runaways, including the murderer were indeed hunted down and caught, tried and hanged or simply killed. A few were re-sold. But Kev was one of the lucky ones that managed to hide long enough to be forgotten or deemed dead.Â
The art of stealing came from another menagerie guest, showed him that if you obeyed, the help and guards would leave you alone occasionally trusting that nothing would happen and this was when the stealing of food from the kitchens mainly happened. Or pick pocketing the Countessa's guests while she hosted events and let a few of her 'pets' walk free to impress.Â
As for living in the streets and the harsh environment, he wasn't always alone and that's where I don't want to add too much since I might create RP relations that could account for his survival. But I can say this, the name Mephisto comes from a person that had a great influence on him and that cared for him a great deal while he lived in Limsa.Â
And big thank you for the help gang
 Feeling more at home already!
