balmung Displaced Au Ra Smith/Hunter

Hey everybody, working to get my character, Mide Hotgo, out to the RP community to start establishing SOMETHING with him. Basically looking for any contacts who might be interested with his character type. Some information I've got so far (still working on some other small bits with him)

 

Mide was born to the Hotgo clan of Au Ra nomads and grew up embracing the traditions of his clan. He was well-liked within his clan, proving himself proficient in hunting and gathering early in his adolescence. His true passion was smithing, however, and he created a mobile furnace and smithy that could be moved with the migration of the clan. His skills were greatly appreciated by the clan warriors, and Mide was respected for his earnest desire to protect others with his weapons. In order to ensure none of his creations would fail his clan, Mide would test the weapons himself, often putting himself in great danger in the process. This caused him to become proficient with most martial weapons and developed Mide into a very competent warrior.

 

 

When Mide came of age, he was surprised by one of the female clan warriors, Ile Hotgo. Impressed by his skills, his dedication to the clan, and being very straight-forward herself, Ile proposed to Mide. Flattered by her attention and prowess, Mide accepted Ile as his mate and strove to give his all to both her and the his clan. They enjoyed many years of life together, and sought to expand their family once their siblings no longer required their attention.

 

 

Unfortunately, their plans would not be. Without warning, the Hotgo were attacked viciously and massacred. During the chaos, Mide fought with the clan warriors to try and repel the Dotharl, but was wounded during the fighting. Before the final blow was struck, Mide was shielded by Ile, who lost her life defending him. With her dying wish being that he flee and live, Mide broke. Looking around at the battle raging around him, Mide ran, knowing that his clan was doomed. After many hours of running, he fell to the ground, breathless. Without a home to return to, he silently formed within himself a unbending will to survive for the memory of his love and clan, and nurtured a silent, seething rage against the fate he was bound to and the Dotharl. When he stood, Mide had changed. Following the customs of his tribe, he created and applied a black paint to his face, marking both his desire to avenge the ones he lost and the intense shame he felt that he was powerless. With this mark, he wandered aimlessly into the world, his only clear intention being survival.

Here's what I have so far for him. As I said before, anyone who would be interested in RPing or has any suggestions for character expansion, etc are welcome! I welcome any feedback, since it's been awhile for me. Cheers!

[Araatan]

I'd be interested in rolling with you a sometime. I'm still leveling but Araatan is a wandering fighter/monster hunter Xaela that is always looking for someone to talk to and possibly hunt with.

[IeatCrayons117]

Awesome! Considering his temperament, Mide would probably welcome the company of another Xaela, at the very least because there is already some common ground there.

[Marissa Minoru]

Oh! I was just looking at your wiki the other day out of interest as you were from the Hotgo tribe, perhaps my character Marissa would be of interest. Her grandparents and mother were part of the same tribe, and had to escape to Gridania when the tribe was attacked. Marissa isn't part of any tribe herself but would probably appreciate someone to relate to and who perhaps knew her grandparents. My wiki is in my signature if you'd like to read

[Gegenji]

Chachan is a Doman smith if you want to pursue that angle a little bit - he focuses primarily on armor due to his nature, but he is skilled at weaponcraft and repair as well. Not to mention he's a soft-heart if you feel Mide could use someone like that around.

 

... He's interacted with quite a few Xaela as well. Including the Dotharl, and actually somehow managed to get one to question their own views on combat despite being not all that bright. It was fun. :lol:

That sound like it could be a cool avenue to follow, as it could lead Mide to open up more about his tribe and what happened. Definitely something worth looking in to!

Absolutely, he really likes smithing and although he was good with his tribe, there is always room to learn and improve. Having a sympathetic ear could also lead to some interesting character development, especially if Mide actually decided to open up to people. Since I don't have a definitive plan but more of let character interactions affect development,  having various different influences would be awesome.

Sounds good to me! Chachan is mostly in Ul'dah, but he does travel to Limsa to help out with the guilds there... and has friends who live out in Gridania. So it's pretty easy to have him pop up wherever's convenient for you. :thumbsup:

Coolio, Mide generally stays close to Limsa and wanders around Gridania occasionally. As of yet, he doesn't spend too much time in Ul'dah unless someone hires him out to do work around that area. We'll have to set some time to meet up and events surrounding the meeting when time permits.

I think it'll be neat for Zanzan to come across Mide sometime, especially being around Limsa. One of his closest friends is a Hotgo and promised that he'll find and help others. One of his writing projects even is to collect stories of the Hotgo including knowledge of their cultures and traditions. So far, the book is dubbed "The Painted People". It's his way to keep a displaced tribe from fading into memories.

He also has a Hotgo with a grudge against him.  My Hotgo, Chakha Hotgo. She's not very people-persony, but she'll show up anywhere Zanzan's friend does.

Honestly, the amount of interest this has generated so far has surprised me. Lots of different, cool avenues of approach when it comes to stories. Awesome sauce!

Hotgo lizards are rare. Dotharl lizards are legion.

[Algun]

Mide is always welcome to drop by the Bairon encampment. Message Algun Bairon or Maral Oronir in-game if you are interested to arrange some tribal RP.:lol:

I'll keep that in mind, I'll definitely check that out! :thumbsup:

[Gegenji]

By the by, Crayons, just lemme know if/when you want our characters to meet up. I know we chatted a bit after trading friend requests IG, but I forgot to mention that bit. :lol:

I'm not sure what you're talking about

 

 

 

On a more serious note, I'd like to add you in-game as well if you don't mind!

[Lliese]

LOL I was going to say hello but I guess Algun already popped in a while ago. Hello! I play Maral.

 

 

My character is a fighter-type who was originally born in the Oronir clan. I took some rather liberal applications with the whole 'direct descendants of Azim' so she has strong beliefs about keeping a strong mind and body. Nothing extravagant, she just has the mentality that life is Azim's blessing and so there's beauty and strength inherent in everyone.

 

She's one of my younger characters, around 21, polite, ambitious, somewhat oblivious but also logical and observant. As mentioned above, she values strength, although this doesn't have to be physical, and likes meeting new people. Her duties to the clan don't have her going out much, but if you're interested in meeting her I'm sure something could be worked out. She also loves fighting, although I'm a ham and scared of writing fighting scenes so I don't have her participate in that sort of thing often.

 

Feel free to message me here or online @ Maral Oronir

[Gegenji]

Just as a heads up, albeit delayed, I'm still looking forward to us having our Othardian smiths run into each other. I waited for quite a while on the day we had originally scheduled, but you never logged on.

 

If you're still interested, just reach out to me at some point. :blush:

[FallenFedora]

My character, Stroud, does a lot of work with the refugee's ICly, donating charitably and employing them from time to time with menial tasks. He's also been expanding his criminal enterprise, hiring any and all skilled mercenaries and craftsmen as they suit his needs. 

 

If you're interested in a one on one, or want to give the FC that represents his criminal interests a look; You can most often find me in game @ Ward 12, Plot 40 of the mists working out of the Orchid 317 building; If you've something else in mind, shoot me a PM or hunt me down in game. Hoping you settle in and looking forward to seeing where this character goes!

Yeah sorry about that, definitely still interested there are just a lot of things that popped up for me recently so I haven't had a whole lot of time for gaming  

 

I'll be trying to log in here in the next day hopefully, and I'll try to reach out to everyone then!

 

Sorry again!
