Ala Mhigo possesses some of the most fascinating and interesting conceptual framework present in the game. Â The lore about Ala Mhigo is vague enough to permit fairly wide flexibility without intentionally breaking lore. Â You're embarking on some great potential RP!Â
In terms of how to structure your character, monks are the only canon job that has roots closely tied to Ala Mhigo through confirmed lore, but monks are difficult to RP at times for reasons stated in this thread. Â Thankfully, Ala Mhigo was a highly militaristic state overcome with civil turmoil before its fall, and its militancy suggests a wide range of combat styles were used in its aggressive military. Â Bare-fist fighting, great swords, guns, and lances all have confirmed uses in Ala Mhigan lore. Â Your imagination is really the limit to creating your character in this context. Â
My character has very deep roots in Ala Mhigo, but despises what the nation state of Ala Mhigo stood for, all while caring greatly for its people (including resistance fighters), who he believes are wasting their short lives chasing dead dreams. I've always found it interesting that many good-aligned characters (including some depicted in the MSQ) sympathized with Ala Mhigo and desire to restore it, as lore suggests Ala Mhigo shared the same militaristic disposition as Garlemald.
I agree there is a need for an Ala Mhigan specific linkshell (ideally IC), and wish I had the time to spearhead the effort. Â If anyone feels creative, however, I'd be happy to lend a helping hand and participate.
In terms of FCs, I second the Empyrean Vanguard as a great potential source of Ala Mhigan resistance RP or network for characters connected with Ala Mhigo.Â
