I just got done posting at the welcome desk, but I really need some help with my character's backstory. Originally, she was going to be a lalafell... and then I went Au Ra (Raen) and things have been, kind of turned upside down.
Some key notes about her:
That being said, my main idea here was... amnesia, after the Calamity. I figured it wouldn't be too uncommon for someone to have amnesia after that, from injury or even completely suppressing the memories due to trauma. For Mimifu it's likely the latter. She raised what money she could, getting it anywhere she could legally, to get a boat over to Eorzea... an older lalafell, an adventurer, took her in and moved her to Gridania, but left one day to never come back. Mimifu likely picked up adventuring herself to look for her guardian, but she really likes to just sit back and cook things to support those who go out into battle.Â
If I do go with the amnesia idea, I'll be thinking of what her past would be... because I know, someday, she'll probably remember it.Â
I was just wondering what you seasoned FFXIV roleplayers thought... Is amnesia too cliche? Really just throw any and all ideas at me, whether it's a small suggestion to what I have or a whole new idea entirely. My mind is open for all sorts of criticism and ideas! I'm not too familiar with the lore outside of the main story, especially when it comes to Au Ras... other than the fact that they obviously aren't from the main continent.
Some key notes about her:
- Fairly shy, VERY easily flustered. come hunt me down, flirty characters!
- Loves cooking, gardening, taking care of people. She'd never turn down a person in need. Even if she wasn't qualified to help them, she'd do anything she could- even hand over her whole wallet...
- ...leading to our next point that she's kind to a fault. It's not that she doesn't understand the world is harsh, it's that she would rather get screwed over herself than not help someone who needed it.
- She's more of a foresty person- meaning she hangs out more in the Shroud/Gridania
- ...She has a Dunesfolk Lalafell name, and I'm keeping it that way! So she was probably raised by a lalafell or given her name by one.
- She's currently only 18, neutral good.Â
