Oh, there's an AMR group. Neat. I've often idled in Little Ala Mhigo trying to find folks around. This makes me happy.
So I have two monks, Alex and Grace, in their forties. They were in Gyr Abania back in the day and all that.
Their sect, the Windfist Sect of the Fists of Rhalgr, was one of probably various groups that helped smuggle people out of the Mad King's wrath. The Windfist, being the surname first worn by their grandfather, follows traditional highlander naming conventions of being created from feats or abilities. Their grandfather was a legendary monk for the Fists, his son, daughter and two grandchildren are no-names in comparison. Anyways, following the escape from Garlean invasion, the Windfist twins (and their father, JJ, who isn't a monk so shoo, JJ!), thrust into the wider realm at eighteen, but enlightened with the world-traveled wisdom of their father, took to helping the Ala Mhigan Resistance in two distinct ways.
Alex took his hobby of botany and, with much effort, was able to join the botany guild of Gridania despite being a heathen from the cursed nation. Gridania was his uneasy home for the bulk of the two decades until the Calamity. He also took to alchemy, traveling to Ul'dah frequently.
Following the Calamity, Alex fell into Crystalline and ultimately its leadership, which he runs right now!
Grace took like many Ala Mhigans to Ul'dah, though her pride and stubbornness never had her bowing and scraping like so many of her kin. She took musclework and such. She's as fleshed out as Alex but she mostly is a background character due to playing Alex or John mainly (and by mainly they're equally geared at i243 right now)
Both contribute gil and what items Alex is able to make -- commonly medicines, to their kin of Ala Mhigo and for the Resistance as a whole. They just aren't up in arms at throwing away their lives to a cause far from their reach... which has sometimes landed them in a fist fight with younger pups that were born after the fall. Though some factions within the Resistance are playing the long game too!
.... so either of them might be known just by their contributions in their own right as well as know they're from the home country and devout of the Destroyer.
I say all this because:
1. Highlanders!
2. Ala Mhigan!
3. Monks!
4. Hug meeeee!
I see there's an event for Friday the 21st, sadly it is one of my few Fridays away for large part of the day but I would definitely like to be a part of y'all in some fashion.
