'''Mizuki Hagane''' is a young Au Ra Doman refugee living in Revanent’s Toll. Some words to describe her would be: kind, gentle, bubbly, naive, optimistic, giggly, friendly, loyal, open.

Mizuki is the type of person to be concerned over everyone’s well being. It is nearly impossible for her to not want to help someone, even if they have wronged her in the past. She is able to turn the other cheek well, in the moment. However, she is sensitive, so harsh words can be taken to heart easily, even if she does nothing about them.

This Au Ra doesn’t take too much seriously, except her work. She is exceptionally devoted to her personal causes.

Mizuki's given name means ''"Beautiful Moon."'' (美月) Her family name, Hagane, means ''"Steel."'' (鋼)

:: Mizuki's most notable traits would be her magenta eyes and silvery blue hair. She stands 5 fulm and weighs 105 ponze. Her build is pale and slender, almost too slender. It's clear she doesn't eat enough. (But surely wants to!) The scales on her skin, as usual for Au Ra, cover her body in various patterns. She bears very faint scar marks on both her wrists, but they are covered by her natural scales unless closely inspected.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Life in Eorzea</div>=====

:: Mizuki is the daughter of two members of the Doman nobility, '''Akimasa''' and '''Kohaku Hagane'''. While her father comes from a strong lineage, her mother was a formidable Doman warrior, whose family gained status over several years of honorable service. With disappearance of her father, the demise of her mother, and the destruction of her entire nation due to Garlemald's invasion, her name and former status no longer carries any weight. Currently, she is very poor and never possesses much money of her own. She doesn’t value gil much, save for using it to keep funding her healing materials--therefore obtaining it rules her life. It’s for that reason that she dons the mantle of “mercenary.”

:: Her father is the divinator, and taught her all she knows about reading the stars and attuning to the constellations. It broke her heart when he abandoned her mother and her years ago to go live in the wilderness after he took a vow of contemplative silence. Though her mother harboured a lot of anger towards him and things he had done, her daughter chose to believe in the fact that his path was written long ago. She bears no ill will for his decision.

:: Her mother has been a part of the Doman Army against the Garleans taking over their home. With their defeat, her mother lost her life, and Mizuki could either stay and become a citizen of Garlemald’s Empire, or find a new life somewhere free. She prayed on this for suns while in hiding, but through her prayers and personal readings, she chose the path of the refugee and fled to Eorzea.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Currently</div>=====
[[File:comfymizuki.png|thumb|right|Quarters in Revenant's Toll]]
:: Prior to leaving her home, she had heard tales of Eorzeans, and their abundant magicks and barbaric Primals. It intimidated her. Despite this, Mizuki traveled with a small caravan across the land to Eorzea. After they were attacked over and over again by scared natives-- even though they insisted that they were harmless--she chose to cover herself from head to toe with clothing. She lost several friends to ruthless slaughter, and her heart became torn with grief, wondering if she chose correctly. Again, she prayed, reaching out to the heavens to guide her.

:: Once reaching Revenant’s Toll, her hope soared. Seeing so many of her kind showed her that she had chosen right. Immediately, she set to work, doing whatever she could to help. Eventually, a talented hyur alchemist named '''Dunstan Chaucer''' took her in. At first, she helped him with experiments, but her daydreaming and questions about near-to everything annoyed him, so she became a sort of errand girl and representative of his business.

:: The gil she earns from Mister Chaucer is very little, so, in her free time, she has taken on leves offered around the Toll. The area is quite dangerous, so she isn’t able to do many of them, but she manages a small amount of money. Using this and her earnings from the alchemist, she funds her “healing room”, where she offers services of tarot readings, dream interpretation, astrology readings, and physical and mental healing to anyone free of charge. This is her true passion--and she will do whatever she can to maintain it.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Talents</div>===
[[File:Astro1.png|left]]
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat Experience</div>=====

:: Mizuki is very experienced with battle, but she is by no means a hardened warrior. She has trained with a sword and firearms, as well as her specialty in healing magicks. Up until coming to Eorzea, one of her tasks was to heal the wounded on and off the field when battling Garleans across their home in Othard.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths</div>=====

:: Her strengths lie mostly in '''healing''', '''astrology''', '''dream interpretations''', and '''tarot and rune readings''', but she can at least ''hold'' a sword and firearm, thanks to her mother’s Doman army training.

:: Mizuki is much more confident at range than melee when fighting, so she only uses a sword if she must. Battle does not come natural to her, as it does for many other adventurers, so she uses and wears her charms and crystals to keep up her strength and courage. She has more faith in them than she does herself.

:: If she had to choose, Mizuki would always rather be a '''mender''' than a fighter during an altercation. However, personal circumstances have lead to hard decisions. She chooses to only use her healing magic in cases of life and death. Ever since shortly after coming to Eorzea, using her curative magicks has been ''extremely'' draining. Her powers themselves seem amplified when cast, but if she uses them for too long, it can take days for her to recover from what seems to be an extreme case of fatigue. Too much expenditure can cause her to fall unconscious, resulting in a coma-like state until she wakes.

:: Mizuki is an '''amateur botanist''', so she is also proficient with herbs, stones, and other ways of healing than just magick. Unless the wound is critical, she will likely use more earthly methods first.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Weaknesses</div>=====

:: As previously written, Mizuki's curative magicks are both a boon and a weakness since just after her arrival to Eorzea. While powerful when cast on herself or another, using too much aether will leave her incapacitated for an unknown length of time, likely dependent on how much was used.

:: Otherwise, Mizuki's form is rather fragile, especially due to lack of proper nutrition lately. Without her magicked barriers or shields up, the young Au Ra is quite susceptible to '''physical''' or '''magickal injury'''.

:: A '''lack of confidence''' in her ability to fight should also count as a weak point, but now being on her own, Mizuki is doing her best not to let this stop her from succeeding.

She was taken very quickly with Miss Y'lyfriel and sees her as a wise and beautiful lady of her "house." Mizuki will help anyone, but especially those who Lyfriel likes best. She is also committed to helping the miqo'te get over her aether affliction in any way she can.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Onuma Ahntifi]]''': The Raen admires Onuma, and notes the knight's fierce aura about her. She is also quite thankful for the woman's kindness. It is because of this that she will brave uncertainty to help restore Onuma to her former self.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Ferai Caolann]]''': Despite knowing of Ferai's job as a "shadow," Mizuki bears no ill will against the man, and actually likes him quite a bit. She looks forward to speaking with him again on less dire terms.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Ralamano Nulumano]]''': Mizuki really adores Ralamano, especially the way he speaks. His seriousness reminds her of many important people in her life, past and present. She hopes and prays he is doing well, where ever he might be now.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Zarek Earthshaker]]''': The Au Ra she spotted at the 81st's estate filled her heart with both joy and, oddly, fear. She has not known many Xaela, and those she has known were not the friendliest. Still, she hopes to see the man again. He seemed nice enough!

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Z'koa Rhiki]]''': Mizuki enjoyed meeting Z'koa, and was even happier to help the miqo'te. She finds her appearance lovely and exotic.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''Dunstan Chaucer''': ''(NPC)'' Mizuki’s part time employer. He is a well known alchemist from Gridania. Though his primary market was in Ul’dah for many years, Chaucer relocated to Revenant’s Toll during the beginnings of its creation as a main hub. He has helped Rowena, the Sons of St. Coinach, as well as Garlond Ironworks with many of their arduous endeavors where his services have been needed. He is a shrewd man, and not extremely approachable. Mizuki finds his vast knowledge fascinating and is indebted to him for allowing herself, as well as many other Doman and Othard refugees, to be employed and taken under as apprentices upon arriving to Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font>'''Teruharu Tsurugi''': ''(deceased)'' Mizuki and he grew up together with Kaede. One year older. They were best friends and shared everything that children do. When he was 10, the three stumbled into a Garlean scouting group. Teruharu was executed in front of the girls, but they managed to escape.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''Kaede Takeda''': ''(deceased)'' Mizuki and she grew up together with Teruharu. Two years older. She was never quite the same after Teruharu was killed by Garleans, and withdrew into herself. After her beloved and family were killed in the war, she committed suicide at age 19.

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #aac5b4;">◢ Relatives</div></b>

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''Akimasa Hagane - Father''': A very serious, spiritual man. He has descended from a long line of Au Ra with the gift of foresight. His light eyes and hair, carried down through the generations, suggest that his lineage did not begin in Doma, despite his high ranking status when Doma was a nation. He has a natural attunement to the Universe, especially the Stars. Though, before he met Mizuki's mother, he would use his gift to assist his fellow Doman nobility, especially when dealing with potential conflicts. Eventually, this changed, and he used them only for himself, and thought himself a sort of prophet. His words were not spared often, and when they were, it was usually something negative about ill omens or poor judgment. He left when Mizuki was 14 cycles old after taking a vow of silence, and she has not seen or heard of him since.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''Kohaku Hagane - Mother''': ''(deceased)'' A hardworking, powerful fighter and part of the Doman army, Mizuki's mother was a fighter through and through. Her knowledge of combat was unmatched, and she was stubborn to the last. She could not use magick and did not have any Gifts. When she was not training or involved with war, she spent time with Mizuki as much as she could, though a "normal" noble life was never for her. Eventually, her husband’s withdrawn and often strange nature also drove her inward, turning her rather callous towards strangers and even people she knew. Her soft spot, however, was always Mizuki. It was only in her daughter’s presence that she felt something other than anger, depression, and frustration at the world and her situation. Mizuki gave her hope. She was killed during the Garlean occupation of Doma.

<p><font style="color:#50586F;" size="2" family="Georgia"><b>RHESH’IR ZHWAN</b></font>, '''(Pronunciation''': Resh-<i>EAR</i> Sch-WAN''')''', is a miqo'te of many names and tales. He traveled the Black Shroud, round and round, moving along at early nightfall. In the recent past, he had been the leader of a makeshift band of wanderers without a path. Their adventures lead them from the Shroud, through the desert, to Ul'dah, and elsewhere. Their journeys together do not appear to be stopping anytime soon. With his past behind him, Rhesh'ir can now call himself an 'adventurer', for what it's worth. And now, that makeshift band became something more-- a Free Company. So far, their deeds have proven their strength through adversity, and the Captain only plans to continue that, as best he can.</p>

<br>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #01000D;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>APPEARANCE</center></div></span></h3>

<p>As the chapter of the vagabond bard came to a close in Rhesh'ir's life, so did his appearance. Somewhat. For now, long, tribal braids were sacrificed in favour of a short more military cut. Ruby red eyes stand out against dark, ashen blue skin. Build is lean and muscular. His clothing, however, has become a little more ornate, as a sign of his new path and growing wealth. Rhesh'ir does not mind appearing flamboyant, and even takes some pleasure from it. He can be seen in anything from lounging attire, to dark leathers, to full plate armour.</p>

<br>

<p><b>Stubborn. Guarded. <i>Loving.</i></b></p> <p>Rhesh'ir is personable and flirty, but picky with his company. He does not allow many to get close. His first reaction is always to smile--whether good or bad. Behind the smile are true emotions, but usually they are kept from others that he hasn't yet trusted with his heart. Rhesh'ir does not shy from confrontation, but he usually is the one to end up walking away, especially when he's angry. The miqo'te is also incredibly stubborn and set in his ways about many things and his views of the world. Once an idea is in his head, it is very difficult to convince him otherwise. But it can be done with patience and kindness.</p>

::* <p><b>Knife:</b> Standard boot knife, for fileting fish or enemies. Rhesh’ir rarely leaves his home without some type of weapon. Force of habit. </p>
::* <p><b>Gil-purse:</b> Though he doesn’t much understand money, the Captain does carry it on him, if only to get from one place to another without having to wash dishes. </p>
::* <p><b>Jewelry:</b> Gifts from loved ones over time have amounted to this Keeper to owning some effective and lovely pieces. </p>
::* <p><b>Tattoos:</b> Though not exactly an ‘item’, Rhesh’ir’s face and body are covered with tattoos of various meanings. Some are more ‘functional’ than others...</p>
::* <p><b>Leto:</b> Rhesh'ir's long-time chocobo companion and steed. Leto is a fierce female chocobo, hardened and experienced with war, even prior to being owned by the Captain of the 81st. She puts up with little goatshite from anyone.</p>
::* <p><b>Unnamed Griffon Fledgling:</b> Though completely unintentional, Rhesh'ir became a 'mommy' to this chick after Z'koa picked up some eggs in Coerthas. Rhesh'ir has done his best to care for the wreckless griffon, but he has still not taken to him very well. He intends to gift him to his son, Riel'a, when he's old enough to ride.</p>

<p>This miqo'te is skilled with a bow and dual daggers as he has wielded them since he could barely walk. The Captain is also trained in hand-to-hand combat from his time with the Immortal Flames. Recently, his mastery of the sword and shield should be of note, though he is still comparatively inexperienced with them.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir has dabbled in the gladiator style of fighting with a private tutor. But as the basics of his gladiator training came to a close, a new teacher has taken over Rhesh'ir's learning, and it was a most unexpected, yet welcome, surprise. Onuma is a harsh instructor that leaves little room for error, but Rhesh'ir is grateful for it. After gifting her '''Soul of the Paladin''' stone to him, Rhesh'ir has relinquished the life of the bard, and is now a shield for the 81st and those he loves.</p>

[[File:RheshirChart.jpeg|600px|center]]<p>With a seasoned character like Rhesh'ir, sometimes it is assumed that every job/class he knows ICly he is a master of in some way. This is not the case. Though Rhesh'ir has dabbled in many forms of fighting styles over his years of experience, there are certain things he definitely excels at over others. This is a chart to represent his skill in each discipline in an easily recognizable way. This may change with more experience and exposure in roleplay.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir Zhwan is the third son of Rhesh Zhwan and Yabi'to Molkot, and the Sixth male Keeper to be born within the '''Pirarucu Tribe''' in his generation. Rhesh'ir was born two nonce after his twin brother '''Rhesh'ra Zhwan'''. He was raised in a mostly isolated, nomadic tribe that thrived on fishing and hunting game within the Northern Shroud. Their mother was and remained the '''Matriarch''' throughout their childhood, garnering them some extra privileges males might have not otherwise afforded, such as learning to read.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir showed early signs of promise and strength, which is coveted in the Keeper and Seeker lifestyles alike. If the Pirarucu had survived, Rhesh'ir would have been betrothed to one of the neighbouring tribes within the clan, as a sign of good faith and continuing friendship. His twin brother, however, never excelled at physical tasks. He was a thinker, a dreamer, and songwriter. Despite this, Rhesh'ir loved his brother fiercely, and they knew each as fully as one person can know the other. Rhesh'ra opened up with Rhesh'ir almost exclusively, and Rhesh'ir showed him kindness that rarely displayed itself elsewhere. Never was there one without the other.</p>

<p>For all of Rhesh'ra's thoughtful and kind nature, Rhesh'ir equaled it with a haughty, proud and often-times openly stubborn one. He knew his skill and flaunted it, and thought less of those who didn't--except his brother. Rhesh'ir's cockiness got the pair in trouble several times when they were children, and usually ended with Rhesh'ra being injured, only creating more of a rift between himself and becoming stronger.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1564-1568 - COMING OF AGE + DEATH OF THE PIRARUCU</center></div></span></h3>

<p>As with all the children within the Pirarucu, at age 13, Rhesh'ir and Rhesh'ra had to undertake the task of hunting a specified beast that dwelt somewhere within the Shroud. Rhesh'ir fulfilled his task with ease, but such was not the case for Rhesh'ra. Though he would never tell a soul, Rhesh'ir ended up doing both tasks for the sake of his brother. Though nothing was said, the elders within the tribe most likely knew this. </p>

<p>At age 17, everything changed. That summer, a sickness took hold within the Pirarucu. It was mysterious, but swift. Flesh turned sour and fell from the bone; there was nothing to be done. At first, only the elders and children suffered and died, but slowly, the others began to grow ill. By the end of the season, Rhesh Zhwan had died, leaving the miqo'te in disarray. Many stayed and met their fate doing so. Rhesh'ir would have been one of them, had Rhesh'ra not forced his brother to leave with him.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1568-1572 - THE IMMORTAL FLAMES</center></div></span></h3>

<p>South, through the Shroud and the desert the pair fled. It is unknown why they did not stop to make a home with another miqo'te tribe of the Shroud. Rhesh'ir was hurt and upset with his brother for the majority of the time, thinking that he so easily abandoned his family. However, he still followed Rhesh'ra, nonetheless. Once somewhat over his grief, he realized that they their escape brought about new possibilities and a new way of life--something that Rhesh'ra wanted deeply since he was a child, but never spoke of at all.</p>

<p>They arrived in Ul'dah, gil-less. Then, there weren't as many refugees, but two Keeper brothers living in the desert city was a bit of a strange sight. Unsure of what they could offer, Rhesh'ra suggested that they join the Immortal Flames. There they would have to fight, but receive boarding, meals, and whatever else they needed to survive. Rhesh'ir was hesitant, knowing that his brother was no soldier. However, once the recruit agent started talking, Rhesh'ir was in love with the idea, and they both signed up shortly after. </p>

<p>As expected, Rhesh'ir excelled in combat. But what was not expected was his ability to lead others well in times of high stress. He was able to keep a cool head during altercations, which lead many of the privates to look to him for help. He fought many battles, and in every one he looked out for both himself and Rhesh'ra. It was during his time in the Flames that he trained heavily in the Monk fighting style, where he learned of chakra and hand-to-hand. Still, his favoured weapon of choice was the bow. It enabled him to keep a sharp eye on his enemies and their surroundings.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir ascended the ranks of the Flames quickly through skill, circumstance and poor assigned leadership. By the time the Garlean invasion was in full effect, he was a Chief Sergeant. Rhesh'ra was never promoted, and remained a Private Third Class for the duration. </p>

<p>The week before what would be known as the Battle of Carteneau was a very stressful time for the twins. Up until that point, their time served had been together, as promised, but the Flame higher-ups reworked many of the unit counts when splitting their ranks between the several large battles that were going on at the time. Private Rhesh'ra Zhwan was transferred to another Lieutenant to fight at the gate of Castrum Meridianum, where he met his death. </p>

<p>Though enraged and immensely distraught over the death of his brother, Rhesh'ir kept himself busy where he was and tried to think of his men. And there was plenty to do. Before the news of his brother's death, Rhesh'ra's wife, '''Qhotah Jinjahl''' contacted Rhesh'ir regarding the fact that she was pregnant with his brother's child. On the eve of Carteneau, Rhesh'ir strongly urged his late brother's wife to inform the Lieutenant and take her leave. She refused. Rhesh'ir could not comprehend the sheer lack of care of her own unborn child before a highly anticipated battle, and forced Qhotah to leave with him that very night. It is a mistake that has haunted him, and will continue to, likely until his own death.</p>

<p>The effort was all for naught, however, as Qhotah was very uncooperative. As Dalamud and Bahamut rained their terror from above, she fought Rhesh'ir at every moment. When she left his side, she was incinerated instantly by one of Bahamut's blasts. There was nothing left to save. Rhesh'ir could only watch the horrible battle occur, and for a moment, he thought to run down and return. But something pulled him away that night, and he fled back to the Shroud.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1572-1577 - BACK TO THE SHROUD + A BARD LIFE</center></div></span></h3>

<p>At first, Rhesh'ir doused his grief with alcohol and friendly company. With each drink and each scorned lover, he fell into a deeper and deeper depression. Miserable and alone, he cursed the Flames, and all armies, for their lack of care and compassion. He swore to himself that he would never join anything or anyone ever again, and his anger continued to consume him. </p>

<p>It was not until he was stripped of his dignity in the worst way that he decided to change the path he was living. His brother, the child, they were gone. There was nothing he could do, except live and not focus on the guilt. He contemplated Rhesh'ra's kindness and thoughtfulness, and how they used to sing together. At first, he could not think of reasons to sing, nor did he wish to. But he did try. Gathering what pride he had left, he dumped all of it into performing at inns and taverns. Through the joy of others, he found joy in himself. And the scars of his past began to heal, slowly.</p>

<p>Though deceased, Rhesh'ir thought of his brother everyday, and tried to emulate him in many respects. His ego gradually lessened (but not vanished, certainly), and a genuine care for people took its place. During his time in the Shroud, he tried to make himself known by his music and smiling face. But even with his new-found peace, he never let anyone in, never allowed closeness. The balance he worked for and obtained was fragile, at best.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1577-Present - RISE OF A NEW ADVENTURER</center></div></span></h3>

<p>The serenity and solemnity of the Shroud did not last, however. Rhesh'ir quite literally ran into people that seemed to enjoy his company. And, surprisingly, he enjoyed theirs too. The more hours he spent with them, the more his lonesome lifestyle faded, much to his dismay. Many things have happened since their chance meetings, but his care for the people he surrounds himself with remains the same. Now that he no longer has to run from the ghosts of his past and those chasing him, Rhesh'ir will make an effort to help those around him and live his life to the fullest as both a leader and a friend.</p>

[[File:Cute.png|thumb|left|Rhesh'ir and Lyfriel's Ceremony of Eternal Bonding]]

<p>The Free Company that Rhesh'ir and the others formed both suffered and grew more than anyone could have ever anticipated. The Foreign Levy 81st under the Maelstrom has renown and a reputation for taking on a few of Eorzea's largest foes. Ifrit, Leviathan, and even the Garlean Empire have endured their wrath. With the power of the Echo and a knack for uncanny talent at their side, the Company ever fights forward, helping each other and the less fortunate.</p>

<p>In terms of his personal life, the road for Rhesh'ir has been a tough one. He struggles with speaking and trusting his fellow comrades, despite having to lead them into hard battles. While Rhesh'ir would do nearly anything for those closest to him, he struggles in many ways to show it on a day-to-day basis. It left him feeling isolated and alone. During all of these tumultuous feelings, Lyfriel, his mate, also became pregnant and gave birth to their unexpected, yet extremely loved son, ''Riel'a Zhwan''.</p>

<p>Since his child's birth, Rhesh'ir has attempted to improve himself for the sake of his family. Reaching out is much harder than he anticipated, and some events have left him feeling burned. But overall, as each day passes, Rhesh'ir finds himself a little happier, as if he is a part of something. His love for Lyfriel has only grown stronger, and after over a cycle, he has agreed to wed to her in the well-known Eorzean ceremony of Eternal Bonding.</p>

<p>The bliss of marriage did not last long, as things quickly spiraled in a downward fashion. Not only did his relationship with Lyfriel fail, but after countless successful ventures and missions on behalf of the Grand Companies of Eorzea, the 81st was framed for treason. Rhesh'ir and two of his comrades spent a month in the Maelstrom's gaol, awaiting news of theirs and the Company's fates. Luckily, the 81st came through--the enemy was put down and the Company's charges were cleared. </p>

<p>Still, the burn of being treated in such a way left Rhesh'ir feeling spiteful. In an act of defiance, he has led the 81st north to Coerthas, where they began their hunt for the great wyrm, Tarvoth, that slaughtered many, including one of their friends, over a cycle ago. It was their worst defeat, and so Rhesh'ir seeks vengeance on the fallen's behalf. Through missions and jobs, they have gained favour with House Haillenarte, and will likely be able to take to the skies in their very own airships very soon. Unfortunately, Tarvoth's thrall struck again in the Forelands, which lead to the demise of Rhesh'ir's wife, Lyfriel, whom he had just made a life-changing promise to just bells before the attack. His numb devastation is the only thing on his mind now.</p>

Summarily--they were two halves of a whole, looking out for one another in their own unique ways. Rhesh'ra was a poet, a dreamer, gifted with words of song and solving matters of great depth. Frankly, he was born in the wrong place in a very dangerous time, and would have likely made a fine Conjurer, had the prejudice against Keepers of the Moon in Gridania not squashed any dreams of that occurring. Rhesh'ra died at the gates of Castrum Meridianum, just before Bahamut brought down the red moon. Rhesh'ir no longer feels as much guilt for the circumstances surrounding his twin's death, but to say that he has forgotten after all these cycles would be incorrect. Rhesh'ra is likely the only person Rhesh'ir has ever loved unconditionally, aside from his own son.</p></div>

Rhesh'ir would do literally anything for his son, as a parent would. Instead of a trap, Riel'a is Rhesh'ir's liberation. The kit is 1 cycle old and knows several words and names already. It is Rhesh'ir's promise to his late wife that he will care for Riel'a as they both would have--which means reading a lot of books!</p></div>

It took several suns for Eirene to recover, but when she did, she bonded herself to him in full, becoming the paladin's new Nymian companion. Eirene saw the separation between herself and Lyfriel as a necessary lesson, and told Rhesh'ir not to inform his wife that she was still alive. After Eirene could not save Lyfriel in the Forelands, she and Rhesh'ir's bond has been stronger than ever.

And in just a few conversations, Rhesh'ir learned that they are more similar than he would have ever thought. Noor is a calming, welcome presence in Rhesh'ir's life, and he appreciates her support more than he can visibly show. Though the mistakes still ring in his mind, Rhesh'ir can't find it in himself to be upset with Noor over what has happened in the past. Their time together has been tumultuous and confusing, but ultimately, Rhesh'ir enjoys being around her.</p></div>

::*'''Tribe Name:''' Pirarucu Tribe

::*'''Families:''' Zhwan + Mujuuk

::*'''Allied Tribes:''' Molkoh Tribe

::*'''Original Location:''' North Shroud - Nomadic, mainly followed the rivers

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>SEXUAL MORES</center></div></span></h3>

::* The Matriarch is the only member of the clan that must possess a mate at all times. For the past few generations, Matriarchal mates have been more permanent, but in the past, they were rotated very frequently. This is likely due to times of struggle and a need for stronger blood.

::* Having a mate (husband or otherwise) is optional for the rest of the clan women.

::* Males of exceptional build and skill are "kept" and sometimes betrothed to allied tribes' specific females, but this is very rare. Most are not usually bartered, and are allowed come and go without ties, as long as they prove useful while within the tribe itself.

::* Males of "unworthy" status are dismissed, including the tribe's own male children when they are of age.

::* Male kits are numbered in the order of their birth. A number is given based on how many males were born in the current generation, not just by a single female.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>TRADITIONS</center></div></span></h3>

::* '''Matriarch Selection:''' It is agreed upon that if the Goddess Menphina bestowed the Matriarch of the current family a strong daughter, that she would be leader of the clan until she either passes it to her worthy daughter or until her demise. For the past several generations, the Zhwan family is the bearer of the Matriarch. There is no frustration between families regarding this, as it has been the other way around in the past. However, said daughter would need to excel in early childhood coming of age rituals in order to even qualify. The candidate needs to pass rigorous trials and overcome placed obstacles in order to ascend to her title as Matriarch. This would include skills of hunting and wilderness survival, but also that of reading, writing, trading, and a vast knowledge of the "outside" world around them.

::* '''Child Rearing:''' It is the responsibility of the entire clan to raise the children, however the majority of the task falls on the few generations above the current one being raised. Therefore, children are raised by the young adult women of the tribe, and also some of the males that stayed. Elders and the middle aged hunters rarely interact with newborn kits, even if they were their own child. As the child grew, elders would show more interest if the child seemed competant. Though female kits were shown favour in general, children of the Matriarch were also shown extra respect and care, whether male or female. Thus, Matriarchal children were usually the most well educated and knowledgeable of things beyond their lifestyle, due to the stories and lessons they were told.

::* '''Tribal Markings:''' Facial tattoos to the upper face and around the eyes are given at the age of seven to children, both female and male, who had proven their worth and showed promise. As with several other Keeper tribes, it was a sign to the Gods that, should the miqo'te die, he or she would serve as a warrior in the afterlife. Additional markings are given in later years as signs of strength and cunning when hunting. These are especially important for male children to earn, as such markings would show other Keeper tribes what they have already accomplished.

::* '''Coming of Age:''' At the age of 13, all children would individually be put to the test on their Name Day. Each would be assigned a quarry whose territory was at least three malms away from the current location of the tribe, then sent out into the wilderness to hunt it. Whether it took hours, days, or weeks, their acceptance back into the tribe would depend on whether they brought back the assigned animal in good condition. The corpse would also be inspected, taking into account the skill of the kill, and the shape of the meat once it arrived. The females' results, especially a possible candidate, were scruntinized very harshly. After the child's return, there would be a celebration for him or her, and offerings to the child's Mother. Though rare, there were times when the child did not return.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>CEREMONIES</center></div></span></h3>

::* '''Moon's Bounty Festivus:''' Each year, the Zhwan+Mujuuk clan would traverse the Shroud to come to a mutual meeting ground that was shared with allied tribes. This celebration would last for up to two weeks as they offered feasts, music, and dance to Menphina and her blessings. New children and Matriarch candidates were shown off, but all tribal members donned special festival attires and painted each other with bright colours. During this joyous occasion, hierarchy lines were blurred and everyone took pleasure in the company around them. It was something to look forward to each year, especially by the younger women seeking mates.

::* '''Coming of Age Ceremony:''' The returned child would be promptly bathed and cleaned until pristine. He or she would be dressed and painted, and possibly tattooed if the hunt was a very successful show of skill. Candidate females were given antelope fur somewhere on their attire to show their potential as leader. The Night would be devoted to teaching and telling the child of the world and their future with the tribe. This was done as a group, but the elders primarily spoke. Music is played and sometimes games and dancing took place, depending on the prowess of the child. Underwhelming hunt displays usually resulted in shorter celebrations with less enthusiasm. Males, whether honoured or not, would be offered their place within the tribe or be asked to leave. Those that could stay were not obligated to do so, and could go as they please. Males that were asked to leave the tribe were usually given up to a year to strengthen themselves enough to survive on their own. Very few exceptions are made.

::* '''New Era Celebration:''' Though not exactly celebrated as thoroughly by the Elders, like the Moon's Bounty festivus, the New Era was celebrated in the nearest city-state. In this case, Gridania. Usually, this was something the young women of the clan looked very much forward to, and would hunt for weeks prior to find the best furs to wear.

::* '''Oschon's Rite:''' Though rare, certain pairs of miqo'te who wish to "marry" undergo the Rite of Oschon. It can be compared to marriage, though rings are usually not the item of choice to be given. The Rite itself is a symbol of the lovers Menphina and Oschon, and their devotion to one another. This is a ceremony that depends entirely on the two individuals. It could be large, involving the entire tribe, but often it is more private, almost secretive. The traditional Rite has one of the Elder females perform the short ritual, but it is not necessary to have a shaman to make it official. One or both of the mated pair needs only to say the prayers out loud, as a show of promise to the Twelve and each other. Though optional, it is also traditional for the pair to exchange gifts, a meaningful trinket, after the prayers are said. Red is the colour most often associated with this Rite, so red somewhere on the attire is appropriate. The gifts themselves might also have red incorporated somewhere.

<p>Rhesh’ir is rather easy to seek out, being the Captain of a Free Company with some serious combat history--both positive and negative. Should a character wish to find him, merely stopping by the 81st Estate in the Mist (Ward 6, Plot 30) would usually prove to be eventful. However, if you are wanting a more unique approach, the following would be good options.</p>

<p>Hello! My name is Amy, I'm 30 years old, and I am a seasoned roleplayer, having started all the way back in guilds on Neopets. Yep, that was a thing. I have not played many MMOs, but I have experienced Maplestory, Aion, and Guild Wars 2. I love FFXIV far more than any of those other games, and have been playing it since trying out the PS3 beta before launch.</p>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;"><b>I'm very easygoing.</b> I don't tend to stress or get freaked out by anything too easily. (Just don't mention spiders. D: )</div>

It is a past-time. If an RP premise does not sound like something my characters would do or if I just don't have time for it, I will tell you up front.</div>
<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;"><b>I roleplay my character as my character, not me!</b> It took a lot of experience and practice to learn the separation between character and myself, but I think I have it down reasonably well. Everyone has a bit of themselves in a character, sure, but I do not roleplay as myself. Please do not ever take anything my character says/does as my own view of things. I do not work that way!</div>

Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find upsetting. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:

<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;"><b>Break the lore of the game to include your character concept or plot.</b> Sorry, I am a stickler for this. SE gives us such a vast world to play around in with plenty of ways to bend and weave things to create our own fun. Adding, removing or toying around with their world/magicks/races/history is not something I tolerate in RP. You are free to do as you want, but please respect if I do not change my views of the lore for your sake.</div>
<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;"><b>Publicly engage in any sort of highly questionable content.</b> Some things, not even always sexual, have a specific time and place. If I feel an RP is getting too risque or otherwise for a public setting, I will probably ask for it to continue elsewhere or simply leave. I'm not a prude, and neither are some of my characters, but I always aim to maintain respect for my friends.</div>

<p><font style="color:#50586F;" size="2" family="Georgia"><b>RHESH’IR ZHWAN</b></font>, '''(Pronunciation''': Resh-<i>EAR</i> Sch-WAN''')''', is a miqo'te of many names and tales. He traveled the Black Shroud, round and round, moving along at early nightfall. In the recent past, he had been the leader of a makeshift band of wanderers without a path. Their adventures lead them from the Shroud, through the desert, to Ul'dah, and elsewhere. Their journeys together do not appear to be stopping anytime soon. With his past behind him, Rhesh'ir can now call himself an 'adventurer', for what it's worth. And now, that makeshift band became something more-- a Free Company. So far, their deeds have proven their strength through adversity, and the Captain only plans to continue that, as best he can.</p>

<br>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #01000D;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>APPEARANCE</center></div></span></h3>

<p>As the chapter of the vagabond bard came to a close in Rhesh'ir's life, so did his appearance. Somewhat. For now, long, tribal braids were sacrificed in favour of a short more military cut. Ruby red eyes stand out against dark, ashen blue skin. Build is lean and muscular. His clothing, however, has become a little more ornate, as a sign of his new path and growing wealth. Rhesh'ir does not mind appearing flamboyant, and even takes some pleasure from it. He can be seen in anything from lounging attire, to dark leathers, to full plate armour.</p>

<br>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #01000D;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>PERSONALITY</center></div></span></h3>

<p><b>Stubborn. Guarded. <i>Loving.</i></b></p> <p>Rhesh'ir is personable and flirty, but picky with his company. He does not allow many to get close. His first reaction is always to smile--whether good or bad. Behind the smile are true emotions, but usually they are kept from others that he hasn't yet trusted with his heart. Rhesh'ir does not shy from confrontation, but he usually is the one to end up walking away, especially when he's angry. The miqo'te is also incredibly stubborn and set in his ways about many things and his views of the world. Once an idea is in his head, it is very difficult to convince him otherwise. But it can be done with patience and kindness.</p>

::* <p><b>Knife:</b> Standard boot knife, for fileting fish or enemies. Rhesh’ir rarely leaves his home without some type of weapon. Force of habit. </p>
::* <p><b>Gil-purse:</b> Though he doesn’t much understand money, the Captain does carry it on him, if only to get from one place to another without having to wash dishes. </p>
::* <p><b>Jewelry:</b> Gifts from loved ones over time have amounted to this Keeper to owning some effective and lovely pieces. </p>
::* <p><b>Tattoos:</b> Though not exactly an ‘item’, Rhesh’ir’s face and body are covered with tattoos of various meanings. Some are more ‘functional’ than others...</p>
::* <p><b>Leto:</b> Rhesh'ir's long-time chocobo companion and steed. Leto is a fierce female chocobo, hardened and experienced with war, even prior to being owned by the Captain of the 81st. She puts up with little goatshite from anyone.</p>
::* <p><b>Unnamed Griffon Fledgling:</b> Though completely unintentional, Rhesh'ir became a 'mommy' to this chick after Z'koa picked up some eggs in Coerthas. Rhesh'ir has done his best to care for the wreckless griffon, but he has still not taken to him very well. He intends to gift him to his son, Riel'a, when he's old enough to ride.</p>

<p>This miqo'te is skilled with a bow and dual daggers as he has wielded them since he could barely walk. The Captain is also trained in hand-to-hand combat from his time with the Immortal Flames. Recently, his mastery of the sword and shield should be of note, though he is still comparatively inexperienced with them.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir has dabbled in the gladiator style of fighting with a private tutor. But as the basics of his gladiator training came to a close, a new teacher has taken over Rhesh'ir's learning, and it was a most unexpected, yet welcome, surprise. Onuma is a harsh instructor that leaves little room for error, but Rhesh'ir is grateful for it. After gifting her '''Soul of the Paladin''' stone to him, Rhesh'ir has relinquished the life of the bard, and is now a shield for the 81st and those he loves.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir Zhwan is the third son of Rhesh Zhwan and Yabi'to Molkot, and the Sixth male Keeper to be born within the '''Pirarucu Tribe''' in his generation. Rhesh'ir was born two nonce after his twin brother '''Rhesh'ra Zhwan'''. He was raised in a mostly isolated, nomadic tribe that thrived on fishing and hunting game within the Northern Shroud. Their mother was and remained the '''Matriarch''' throughout their childhood, garnering them some extra privileges males might have not otherwise afforded, such as learning to read.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir showed early signs of promise and strength, which is coveted in the Keeper and Seeker lifestyles alike. If the Pirarucu had survived, Rhesh'ir would have been betrothed to one of the neighbouring tribes within the clan, as a sign of good faith and continuing friendship. His twin brother, however, never excelled at physical tasks. He was a thinker, a dreamer, and songwriter. Despite this, Rhesh'ir loved his brother fiercely, and they knew each as fully as one person can know the other. Rhesh'ra opened up with Rhesh'ir almost exclusively, and Rhesh'ir showed him kindness that rarely displayed itself elsewhere. Never was there one without the other.</p>

<p>For all of Rhesh'ra's thoughtful and kind nature, Rhesh'ir equaled it with a haughty, proud and often-times openly stubborn one. He knew his skill and flaunted it, and thought less of those who didn't--except his brother. Rhesh'ir's cockiness got the pair in trouble several times when they were children, and usually ended with Rhesh'ra being injured, only creating more of a rift between himself and becoming stronger.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1564-1568 - COMING OF AGE + DEATH OF THE PIRARUCU</center></div></span></h3>

<p>As with all the children within the Pirarucu, at age 13, Rhesh'ir and Rhesh'ra had to undertake the task of hunting a specified beast that dwelt somewhere within the Shroud. Rhesh'ir fulfilled his task with ease, but such was not the case for Rhesh'ra. Though he would never tell a soul, Rhesh'ir ended up doing both tasks for the sake of his brother. Though nothing was said, the elders within the tribe most likely knew this. </p>

<p>At age 17, everything changed. That summer, a sickness took hold within the Pirarucu. It was mysterious, but swift. Flesh turned sour and fell from the bone; there was nothing to be done. At first, only the elders and children suffered and died, but slowly, the others began to grow ill. By the end of the season, Rhesh Zhwan had died, leaving the miqo'te in disarray. Many stayed and met their fate doing so. Rhesh'ir would have been one of them, had Rhesh'ra not forced his brother to leave with him.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1568-1572 - THE IMMORTAL FLAMES</center></div></span></h3>

<p>South, through the Shroud and the desert the pair fled. It is unknown why they did not stop to make a home with another miqo'te tribe of the Shroud. Rhesh'ir was hurt and upset with his brother for the majority of the time, thinking that he so easily abandoned his family. However, he still followed Rhesh'ra, nonetheless. Once somewhat over his grief, he realized that they their escape brought about new possibilities and a new way of life--something that Rhesh'ra wanted deeply since he was a child, but never spoke of at all.</p>

<p>They arrived in Ul'dah, gil-less. Then, there weren't as many refugees, but two Keeper brothers living in the desert city was a bit of a strange sight. Unsure of what they could offer, Rhesh'ra suggested that they join the Immortal Flames. There they would have to fight, but receive boarding, meals, and whatever else they needed to survive. Rhesh'ir was hesitant, knowing that his brother was no soldier. However, once the recruit agent started talking, Rhesh'ir was in love with the idea, and they both signed up shortly after. </p>

<p>As expected, Rhesh'ir excelled in combat. But what was not expected was his ability to lead others well in times of high stress. He was able to keep a cool head during altercations, which lead many of the privates to look to him for help. He fought many battles, and in every one he looked out for both himself and Rhesh'ra. It was during his time in the Flames that he trained heavily in the Monk fighting style, where he learned of chakra and hand-to-hand. Still, his favoured weapon of choice was the bow. It enabled him to keep a sharp eye on his enemies and their surroundings.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir ascended the ranks of the Flames quickly through skill, circumstance and poor assigned leadership. By the time the Garlean invasion was in full effect, he was a Chief Sergeant. Rhesh'ra was never promoted, and remained a Private Third Class for the duration. </p>

<p>The week before what would be known as the Battle of Carteneau was a very stressful time for the twins. Up until that point, their time served had been together, as promised, but the Flame higher-ups reworked many of the unit counts when splitting their ranks between the several large battles that were going on at the time. Private Rhesh'ra Zhwan was transferred to another Lieutenant to fight at the gate of Castrum Meridianum, where he met his death. </p>

<p>Though enraged and immensely distraught over the death of his brother, Rhesh'ir kept himself busy where he was and tried to think of his men. And there was plenty to do. Before the news of his brother's death, Rhesh'ra's wife, '''Qhotah Jinjahl''' contacted Rhesh'ir regarding the fact that she was pregnant with his brother's child. On the eve of Carteneau, Rhesh'ir strongly urged his late brother's wife to inform the Lieutenant and take her leave. She refused. Rhesh'ir could not comprehend the sheer lack of care of her own unborn child before a highly anticipated battle, and forced Qhotah to leave with him that very night. It is a mistake that has haunted him, and will continue to, likely until his own death.</p>

<p>The effort was all for naught, however, as Qhotah was very uncooperative. As Dalamud and Bahamut rained their terror from above, she fought Rhesh'ir at every moment. When she left his side, she was incinerated instantly by one of Bahamut's blasts. There was nothing left to save. Rhesh'ir could only watch the horrible battle occur, and for a moment, he thought to run down and return. But something pulled him away that night, and he fled back to the Shroud.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1572-1577 - BACK TO THE SHROUD + A BARD LIFE</center></div></span></h3>

<p>At first, Rhesh'ir doused his grief with alcohol and friendly company. With each drink and each scorned lover, he fell into a deeper and deeper depression. Miserable and alone, he cursed the Flames, and all armies, for their lack of care and compassion. He swore to himself that he would never join anything or anyone ever again, and his anger continued to consume him. </p>

<p>It was not until he was stripped of his dignity in the worst way that he decided to change the path he was living. His brother, the child, they were gone. There was nothing he could do, except live and not focus on the guilt. He contemplated Rhesh'ra's kindness and thoughtfulness, and how they used to sing together. At first, he could not think of reasons to sing, nor did he wish to. But he did try. Gathering what pride he had left, he dumped all of it into performing at inns and taverns. Through the joy of others, he found joy in himself. And the scars of his past began to heal, slowly.</p>

<p>Though deceased, Rhesh'ir thought of his brother everyday, and tried to emulate him in many respects. His ego gradually lessened (but not vanished, certainly), and a genuine care for people took its place. During his time in the Shroud, he tried to make himself known by his music and smiling face. But even with his new-found peace, he never let anyone in, never allowed closeness. The balance he worked for and obtained was fragile, at best.</p>

<p>The serenity and solemnity of the Shroud did not last, however. Rhesh'ir quite literally ran into people that seemed to enjoy his company. And, surprisingly, he enjoyed theirs too. The more hours he spent with them, the more his lonesome lifestyle faded, much to his dismay. Many things have happened since their chance meetings, but his care for the people he surrounds himself with remains the same. Now that he no longer has to run from the ghosts of his past and those chasing him, Rhesh'ir will make an effort to help those around him and live his life to the fullest as both a leader and a friend.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #01000D;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>RECENT HISTORY</center></div></span></h3>
[[File:Cute.png|thumb|left|Rhesh'ir and Lyfriel's Ceremony of Eternal Bonding]]

<p>The Free Company that Rhesh'ir and the others formed both suffered and grew more than anyone could have ever anticipated. The Foreign Levy 81st under the Maelstrom has renown and a reputation for taking on a few of Eorzea's largest foes. Ifrit, Leviathan, and even the Garlean Empire have endured their wrath. With the power of the Echo and a knack for uncanny talent at their side, the Company ever fights forward, helping each other and the less fortunate.</p>

<p>In terms of his personal life, the road for Rhesh'ir has been a tough one. He struggles with speaking and trusting his fellow comrades, despite having to lead them into hard battles. While Rhesh'ir would do nearly anything for those closest to him, he struggles in many ways to show it on a day-to-day basis. It left him feeling isolated and alone. During all of these tumultuous feelings, Lyfriel, his mate, also became pregnant and gave birth to their unexpected, yet extremely loved son, ''Riel'a Zhwan''.</p>

<p>Since his child's birth, Rhesh'ir has attempted to improve himself for the sake of his family. Reaching out is much harder than he anticipated, and some events have left him feeling burned. But overall, as each day passes, Rhesh'ir finds himself a little happier, as if he is a part of something. His love for Lyfriel has only grown stronger, and after over a cycle, he has agreed to wed to her in the well-known Eorzean ceremony of Eternal Bonding.</p>

<p>The bliss of marriage did not last long, as things quickly spiraled in a downward fashion. Not only did his relationship with Lyfriel fail, but after countless successful ventures and missions on behalf of the Grand Companies of Eorzea, the 81st was framed for treason. Rhesh'ir and two of his comrades spent a month in the Maelstrom's gaol, awaiting news of theirs and the Company's fates. Luckily, the 81st came through--the enemy was put down and the Company's charges were cleared. </p>

<p>Still, the burn of being treated in such a way left Rhesh'ir feeling spiteful. In an act of defiance, he has led the 81st north to Coerthas, where they began their hunt for the great wyrm, Tarvoth, that slaughtered many, including one of their friends, over a cycle ago. It was their worst defeat, and so Rhesh'ir seeks vengeance on the fallen's behalf. Through missions and jobs, they have gained favour with House Haillenarte, and will likely be able to take to the skies in their very own airships very soon. Unfortunately, Tarvoth's thrall struck again in the Forelands, which lead to the demise of Rhesh'ir's wife, Lyfriel, whom he had just made a life-changing promise to just bells before the attack. His numb devastation is the only thing on his mind now.</p>

Summarily--they were two halves of a whole, looking out for one another in their own unique ways. Rhesh'ra was a poet, a dreamer, gifted with words of song and solving matters of great depth. Frankly, he was born in the wrong place in a very dangerous time, and would have likely made a fine Conjurer, had the prejudice against Keepers of the Moon in Gridania not squashed any dreams of that occurring. Rhesh'ra died at the gates of Castrum Meridianum, just before Bahamut brought down the red moon. Rhesh'ir no longer feels as much guilt for the circumstances surrounding his twin's death, but to say that he has forgotten after all these cycles would be incorrect. Rhesh'ra is likely the only person Rhesh'ir has ever loved unconditionally, aside from his own son.</p></div>

With more worldly and sexual experience, he secretly fears the other man's charm will vanish. Only time will tell.</p></div>

::* The Matriarch is the only member of the clan that must possess a mate at all times. For the past few generations, Matriarchal mates have been more permanent, but in the past, they were rotated very frequently. This is likely due to times of struggle and a need for stronger blood.

::* Having a mate (husband or otherwise) is optional for the rest of the clan women.

::* Males of exceptional build and skill are "kept" and sometimes betrothed to allied tribes' specific females, but this is very rare. Most are not usually bartered, and are allowed come and go without ties, as long as they prove useful while within the tribe itself.

::* Males of "unworthy" status are dismissed, including the tribe's own male children when they are of age.

::* Male kits are numbered in the order of their birth. A number is given based on how many males were born in the current generation, not just by a single female.

::* '''Matriarch Selection:''' It is agreed upon that if the Goddess Menphina bestowed the Matriarch of the current family a strong daughter, that she would be leader of the clan until she either passes it to her worthy daughter or until her demise. For the past several generations, the Zhwan family is the bearer of the Matriarch. There is no frustration between families regarding this, as it has been the other way around in the past. However, said daughter would need to excel in early childhood coming of age rituals in order to even qualify. The candidate needs to pass rigorous trials and overcome placed obstacles in order to ascend to her title as Matriarch. This would include skills of hunting and wilderness survival, but also that of reading, writing, trading, and a vast knowledge of the "outside" world around them.

::* '''Child Rearing:''' It is the responsibility of the entire clan to raise the children, however the majority of the task falls on the few generations above the current one being raised. Therefore, children are raised by the young adult women of the tribe, and also some of the males that stayed. Elders and the middle aged hunters rarely interact with newborn kits, even if they were their own child. As the child grew, elders would show more interest if the child seemed competant. Though female kits were shown favour in general, children of the Matriarch were also shown extra respect and care, whether male or female. Thus, Matriarchal children were usually the most well educated and knowledgeable of things beyond their lifestyle, due to the stories and lessons they were told.

::* '''Tribal Markings:''' Facial tattoos to the upper face and around the eyes are given at the age of seven to children, both female and male, who had proven their worth and showed promise. As with several other Keeper tribes, it was a sign to the Gods that, should the miqo'te die, he or she would serve as a warrior in the afterlife. Additional markings are given in later years as signs of strength and cunning when hunting. These are especially important for male children to earn, as such markings would show other Keeper tribes what they have already accomplished.

::* '''Coming of Age:''' At the age of 13, all children would individually be put to the test on their Name Day. Each would be assigned a quarry whose territory was at least three malms away from the current location of the tribe, then sent out into the wilderness to hunt it. Whether it took hours, days, or weeks, their acceptance back into the tribe would depend on whether they brought back the assigned animal in good condition. The corpse would also be inspected, taking into account the skill of the kill, and the shape of the meat once it arrived. The females' results, especially a possible candidate, were scruntinized very harshly. After the child's return, there would be a celebration for him or her, and offerings to the child's Mother. Though rare, there were times when the child did not return.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>CEREMONIES</center></div></span></h3>

::* '''Moon's Bounty Festivus:''' Each year, the Zhwan+Mujuuk clan would traverse the Shroud to come to a mutual meeting ground that was shared with allied tribes. This celebration would last for up to two weeks as they offered feasts, music, and dance to Menphina and her blessings. New children and Matriarch candidates were shown off, but all tribal members donned special festival attires and painted each other with bright colours. During this joyous occasion, hierarchy lines were blurred and everyone took pleasure in the company around them. It was something to look forward to each year, especially by the younger women seeking mates.

::* '''Coming of Age Ceremony:''' The returned child would be promptly bathed and cleaned until pristine. He or she would be dressed and painted, and possibly tattooed if the hunt was a very successful show of skill. Candidate females were given antelope fur somewhere on their attire to show their potential as leader. The Night would be devoted to teaching and telling the child of the world and their future with the tribe. This was done as a group, but the elders primarily spoke. Music is played and sometimes games and dancing took place, depending on the prowess of the child. Underwhelming hunt displays usually resulted in shorter celebrations with less enthusiasm. Males, whether honoured or not, would be offered their place within the tribe or be asked to leave. Those that could stay were not obligated to do so, and could go as they please. Males that were asked to leave the tribe were usually given up to a year to strengthen themselves enough to survive on their own. Very few exceptions are made.

::* '''New Era Celebration:''' Though not exactly celebrated as thoroughly by the Elders, like the Moon's Bounty festivus, the New Era was celebrated in the nearest city-state. In this case, Gridania. Usually, this was something the young women of the clan looked very much forward to, and would hunt for weeks prior to find the best furs to wear.

::* '''Oschon's Rite:''' Though rare, certain pairs of miqo'te who wish to "marry" undergo the Rite of Oschon. It can be compared to marriage, though rings are usually not the item of choice to be given. The Rite itself is a symbol of the lovers Menphina and Oschon, and their devotion to one another. This is a ceremony that depends entirely on the two individuals. It could be large, involving the entire tribe, but often it is more private, almost secretive. The traditional Rite has one of the Elder females perform the short ritual, but it is not necessary to have a shaman to make it official. One or both of the mated pair needs only to say the prayers out loud, as a show of promise to the Twelve and each other. Though optional, it is also traditional for the pair to exchange gifts, a meaningful trinket, after the prayers are said. Red is the colour most often associated with this Rite, so red somewhere on the attire is appropriate. The gifts themselves might also have red incorporated somewhere.

<p>Rhesh’ir is rather easy to seek out, being the Captain of a Free Company with some serious combat history--both positive and negative. Should a character wish to find him, merely stopping by the 81st Estate in the Mist (Ward 6, Plot 30) would usually prove to be eventful. However, if you are wanting a more unique approach, the following would be good options.</p>

* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Immortal Flames:</b> Rhesh’ir served in the Immortal Flames for a few years, but has since forsaken them as they did him.</div>
* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Shroud Resident:</b> Your character may know Rhesh’ir if he/she was born or roamed within the North Shroud 15-26 years ago.</div>
* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Angler:</b> Rhesh’ir is an avid fisherman and frequents Limsa for contests and to speak with other anglers.
* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Maelstrom:</b> The 81st Foreign Levy is considered under the Maelstrom, so any characters in the Maelstrom or in another Company could have easily heard of him/them.</div>

<p>Hello! My name is Amy, I'm 30 years old, and I am a seasoned roleplayer, having started all the way back in guilds on Neopets. Yep, that was a thing. I have not played many MMOs, but I have experienced Maplestory, Aion, and Guild Wars 2. I love FFXIV far more than any of those other games, and have been playing it since trying out the PS3 beta before launch.</p>

<p><font style="color:#50586F;" size="2" family="Georgia"><b>RHESH’IR ZHWAN</b></font>, '''(Pronunciation''': Resh-<i>EAR</i> Sch-WAN''')''', is a miqo'te of many names and tales. He traveled the Black Shroud, round and round, moving along at early nightfall. In the recent past, he had been the leader of a makeshift band of wanderers without a path. Their adventures lead them from the Shroud, through the desert, to Ul'dah, and elsewhere. Their journeys together do not appear to be stopping anytime soon. With his past behind him, Rhesh'ir can now call himself an 'adventurer', for what it's worth. And now, that makeshift band became something more-- a Free Company. So far, their deeds have proven their strength through adversity, and the Captain only plans to continue that, as best he can.</p>

<br>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #01000D;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>APPEARANCE</center></div></span></h3>

<p>As the chapter of the vagabond bard came to a close in Rhesh'ir's life, so did his appearance. Somewhat. For now, long, tribal braids were sacrificed in favour of a short more military cut. Ruby red eyes stand out against dark, ashen blue skin. Build is lean and muscular. His clothing, however, has become a little more ornate, as a sign of his new path and growing wealth. Rhesh'ir does not mind appearing flamboyant, and even takes some pleasure from it. He can be seen in anything from lounging attire, to dark leathers, to full plate armour.</p>

<br>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #01000D;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>PERSONALITY</center></div></span></h3>

<p><b>Stubborn. Guarded. <i>Loving.</i></b></p> <p>Rhesh'ir is personable and flirty, but picky with his company. He does not allow many to get close. His first reaction is always to smile--whether good or bad. Behind the smile are true emotions, but usually they are kept from others that he hasn't yet trusted with his heart. Rhesh'ir does not shy from confrontation, but he usually is the one to end up walking away, especially when he's angry. The miqo'te is also incredibly stubborn and set in his ways about many things and his views of the world. Once an idea is in his head, it is very difficult to convince him otherwise. But it can be done with patience and kindness.</p>

::* <p><b>Gil-purse:</b> Though he doesn’t much understand money, the Captain does carry it on him, if only to get from one place to another without having to wash dishes. </p>
::* <p><b>Jewelry:</b> Gifts from loved ones over time have amounted to this Keeper to owning some effective and lovely pieces. </p>
::* <p><b>Tattoos:</b> Though not exactly an ‘item’, Rhesh’ir’s face and body are covered with tattoos of various meanings. Some are more ‘functional’ than others...</p>
::* <p><b>Leto:</b> Rhesh'ir's long-time chocobo companion and steed. Leto is a fierce female chocobo, hardened and experienced with war, even prior to being owned by the Captain of the 81st. She puts up with little goatshite from anyone.</p>
::* <p><b>Unnamed Griffon Fledgling:</b> Though completely unintentional, Rhesh'ir became a 'mommy' to this chick after Z'koa picked up some eggs in Coerthas. Rhesh'ir has done his best to care for the wreckless griffon, but he has still not taken to him very well. He intends to gift him to his son, Riel'a, when he's old enough to ride.</p>

<p>This miqo'te is skilled with a bow and dual daggers as he has wielded them since he could barely walk. The Captain is also trained in hand-to-hand combat from his time with the Immortal Flames. Recently, his mastery of the sword and shield should be of note, though he is still comparatively inexperienced with them.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir has dabbled in the gladiator style of fighting with a private tutor. But as the basics of his gladiator training came to a close, a new teacher has taken over Rhesh'ir's learning, and it was a most unexpected, yet welcome, surprise. Onuma is a harsh instructor that leaves little room for error, but Rhesh'ir is grateful for it. After gifting her '''Soul of the Paladin''' stone to him, Rhesh'ir has relinquished the life of the bard, and is now a shield for the 81st and those he loves.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir Zhwan is the third son of Rhesh Zhwan and Yabi'to Molkot, and the Sixth male Keeper to be born within the '''Pirarucu Tribe''' in his generation. Rhesh'ir was born two nonce after his twin brother '''Rhesh'ra Zhwan'''. He was raised in a mostly isolated, nomadic tribe that thrived on fishing and hunting game within the Northern Shroud. Their mother was and remained the '''Matriarch''' throughout their childhood, garnering them some extra privileges males might have not otherwise afforded, such as learning to read.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir showed early signs of promise and strength, which is coveted in the Keeper and Seeker lifestyles alike. If the Pirarucu had survived, Rhesh'ir would have been betrothed to one of the neighbouring tribes within the clan, as a sign of good faith and continuing friendship. His twin brother, however, never excelled at physical tasks. He was a thinker, a dreamer, and songwriter. Despite this, Rhesh'ir loved his brother fiercely, and they knew each as fully as one person can know the other. Rhesh'ra opened up with Rhesh'ir almost exclusively, and Rhesh'ir showed him kindness that rarely displayed itself elsewhere. Never was there one without the other.</p>

<p>For all of Rhesh'ra's thoughtful and kind nature, Rhesh'ir equaled it with a haughty, proud and often-times openly stubborn one. He knew his skill and flaunted it, and thought less of those who didn't--except his brother. Rhesh'ir's cockiness got the pair in trouble several times when they were children, and usually ended with Rhesh'ra being injured, only creating more of a rift between himself and becoming stronger.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1564-1568 - COMING OF AGE + DEATH OF THE PIRARUCU</center></div></span></h3>

<p>As with all the children within the Pirarucu, at age 13, Rhesh'ir and Rhesh'ra had to undertake the task of hunting a specified beast that dwelt somewhere within the Shroud. Rhesh'ir fulfilled his task with ease, but such was not the case for Rhesh'ra. Though he would never tell a soul, Rhesh'ir ended up doing both tasks for the sake of his brother. Though nothing was said, the elders within the tribe most likely knew this. </p>

<p>At age 17, everything changed. That summer, a sickness took hold within the Pirarucu. It was mysterious, but swift. Flesh turned sour and fell from the bone; there was nothing to be done. At first, only the elders and children suffered and died, but slowly, the others began to grow ill. By the end of the season, Rhesh Zhwan had died, leaving the miqo'te in disarray. Many stayed and met their fate doing so. Rhesh'ir would have been one of them, had Rhesh'ra not forced his brother to leave with him.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1568-1572 - THE IMMORTAL FLAMES</center></div></span></h3>

<p>South, through the Shroud and the desert the pair fled. It is unknown why they did not stop to make a home with another miqo'te tribe of the Shroud. Rhesh'ir was hurt and upset with his brother for the majority of the time, thinking that he so easily abandoned his family. However, he still followed Rhesh'ra, nonetheless. Once somewhat over his grief, he realized that they their escape brought about new possibilities and a new way of life--something that Rhesh'ra wanted deeply since he was a child, but never spoke of at all.</p>

<p>They arrived in Ul'dah, gil-less. Then, there weren't as many refugees, but two Keeper brothers living in the desert city was a bit of a strange sight. Unsure of what they could offer, Rhesh'ra suggested that they join the Immortal Flames. There they would have to fight, but receive boarding, meals, and whatever else they needed to survive. Rhesh'ir was hesitant, knowing that his brother was no soldier. However, once the recruit agent started talking, Rhesh'ir was in love with the idea, and they both signed up shortly after. </p>

<p>As expected, Rhesh'ir excelled in combat. But what was not expected was his ability to lead others well in times of high stress. He was able to keep a cool head during altercations, which lead many of the privates to look to him for help. He fought many battles, and in every one he looked out for both himself and Rhesh'ra. It was during his time in the Flames that he trained heavily in the Monk fighting style, where he learned of chakra and hand-to-hand. Still, his favoured weapon of choice was the bow. It enabled him to keep a sharp eye on his enemies and their surroundings.</p>

<p>Rhesh'ir ascended the ranks of the Flames quickly through skill, circumstance and poor assigned leadership. By the time the Garlean invasion was in full effect, he was a Chief Sergeant. Rhesh'ra was never promoted, and remained a Private Third Class for the duration. </p>

<p>The week before what would be known as the Battle of Carteneau was a very stressful time for the twins. Up until that point, their time served had been together, as promised, but the Flame higher-ups reworked many of the unit counts when splitting their ranks between the several large battles that were going on at the time. Private Rhesh'ra Zhwan was transferred to another Lieutenant to fight at the gate of Castrum Meridianum, where he met his death. </p>

<p>Though enraged and immensely distraught over the death of his brother, Rhesh'ir kept himself busy where he was and tried to think of his men. And there was plenty to do. Before the news of his brother's death, Rhesh'ra's wife, '''Qhotah Jinjahl''' contacted Rhesh'ir regarding the fact that she was pregnant with his brother's child. On the eve of Carteneau, Rhesh'ir strongly urged his late brother's wife to inform the Lieutenant and take her leave. She refused. Rhesh'ir could not comprehend the sheer lack of care of her own unborn child before a highly anticipated battle, and forced Qhotah to leave with him that very night. It is a mistake that has haunted him, and will continue to, likely until his own death.</p>

<p>The effort was all for naught, however, as Qhotah was very uncooperative. As Dalamud and Bahamut rained their terror from above, she fought Rhesh'ir at every moment. When she left his side, she was incinerated instantly by one of Bahamut's blasts. There was nothing left to save. Rhesh'ir could only watch the horrible battle occur, and for a moment, he thought to run down and return. But something pulled him away that night, and he fled back to the Shroud.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>1572-1577 - BACK TO THE SHROUD + A BARD LIFE</center></div></span></h3>

<p>At first, Rhesh'ir doused his grief with alcohol and friendly company. With each drink and each scorned lover, he fell into a deeper and deeper depression. Miserable and alone, he cursed the Flames, and all armies, for their lack of care and compassion. He swore to himself that he would never join anything or anyone ever again, and his anger continued to consume him. </p>

<p>It was not until he was stripped of his dignity in the worst way that he decided to change the path he was living. His brother, the child, they were gone. There was nothing he could do, except live and not focus on the guilt. He contemplated Rhesh'ra's kindness and thoughtfulness, and how they used to sing together. At first, he could not think of reasons to sing, nor did he wish to. But he did try. Gathering what pride he had left, he dumped all of it into performing at inns and taverns. Through the joy of others, he found joy in himself. And the scars of his past began to heal, slowly.</p>

<p>Though deceased, Rhesh'ir thought of his brother everyday, and tried to emulate him in many respects. His ego gradually lessened (but not vanished, certainly), and a genuine care for people took its place. During his time in the Shroud, he tried to make himself known by his music and smiling face. But even with his new-found peace, he never let anyone in, never allowed closeness. The balance he worked for and obtained was fragile, at best.</p>

<p>The serenity and solemnity of the Shroud did not last, however. Rhesh'ir quite literally ran into people that seemed to enjoy his company. And, surprisingly, he enjoyed theirs too. The more hours he spent with them, the more his lonesome lifestyle faded, much to his dismay. Many things have happened since their chance meetings, but his care for the people he surrounds himself with remains the same. Now that he no longer has to run from the ghosts of his past and those chasing him, Rhesh'ir will make an effort to help those around him and live his life to the fullest as both a leader and a friend.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #01000D;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>RECENT HISTORY</center></div></span></h3>
[[File:Cute.png|thumb|left|Rhesh'ir and Lyfriel's Ceremony of Eternal Bonding]]

<p>The Free Company that Rhesh'ir and the others formed both suffered and grew more than anyone could have ever anticipated. The Foreign Levy 81st under the Maelstrom has renown and a reputation for taking on a few of Eorzea's largest foes. Ifrit, Leviathan, and even the Garlean Empire have endured their wrath. With the power of the Echo and a knack for uncanny talent at their side, the Company ever fights forward, helping each other and the less fortunate.</p>

<p>In terms of his personal life, the road for Rhesh'ir has been a tough one. He struggles with speaking and trusting his fellow comrades, despite having to lead them into hard battles. While Rhesh'ir would do nearly anything for those closest to him, he struggles in many ways to show it on a day-to-day basis. It left him feeling isolated and alone. During all of these tumultuous feelings, Lyfriel, his mate, also became pregnant and gave birth to their unexpected, yet extremely loved son, ''Riel'a Zhwan''.</p>

<p>Since his child's birth, Rhesh'ir has attempted to improve himself for the sake of his family. Reaching out is much harder than he anticipated, and some events have left him feeling burned. But overall, as each day passes, Rhesh'ir finds himself a little happier, as if he is a part of something. His love for Lyfriel has only grown stronger, and after over a cycle, he has agreed to wed to her in the well-known Eorzean ceremony of Eternal Bonding.</p>

<p>The bliss of marriage did not last long, as things quickly spiraled in a downward fashion. Not only did his relationship with Lyfriel fail, but after countless successful ventures and missions on behalf of the Grand Companies of Eorzea, the 81st was framed for treason. Rhesh'ir and two of his comrades spent a month in the Maelstrom's gaol, awaiting news of theirs and the Company's fates. Luckily, the 81st came through--the enemy was put down and the Company's charges were cleared. </p>

<p>Still, the burn of being treated in such a way left Rhesh'ir feeling spiteful. In an act of defiance, he has led the 81st north to Coerthas, where they began their hunt for the great wyrm, Tarvoth, that slaughtered many, including one of their friends, over a cycle ago. It was their worst defeat, and so Rhesh'ir seeks vengeance on the fallen's behalf. Through missions and jobs, they have gained favour with House Haillenarte, and will likely be able to take to the skies in their very own airships very soon. Unfortunately, Tarvoth's thrall struck again in the Forelands, which lead to the demise of Rhesh'ir's wife, Lyfriel, whom he had just made a life-changing promise to just bells before the attack. His numb devastation is the only thing on his mind now.</p>

Frankly, he was born in the wrong place in a very dangerous time, and would have likely made a fine Conjurer, had the prejudice against Keepers of the Moon in Gridania not squashed any dreams of that occurring. Rhesh'ra died at the gates of Castrum Meridianum, just before Bahamut brought down the red moon.

The bond that is ever-growing between them keeps his mind straight when problems arise, and he always finds solace in tending to the kit's needs. Rhesh'ir would do literally anything for his son, as a parent would. Instead of a trap, Riel'a is Rhesh'ir's liberation. The kit is 1 cycle old and knows several words and names already. It is Rhesh'ir's promise to his late wife that he will care for Riel'a as they both would have--which means reading a lot of books!</p></div>

In doing this, she put herself at risk of dissipating into the aetherstream. However, something miraculous occurred: Rhesh'ir kept the faerie's aether linked to the living realm by reaching out (unconsciously) with his own. It took several suns for Eirene to recover, but when she did, she bonded herself to him in full, becoming the paladin's new Nymian companion. Eirene saw the separation between herself and Lyfriel as a necessary lesson, and told Rhesh'ir not to inform his wife that she was still alive. After Eirene could not save Lyfriel in the Forelands, she and Rhesh'ir's bond has been stronger than ever. Though the support of his friends and loved ones has helped immensely, it is in his quiet solitude that Eirene gently reminds Rhesh'ir to not give in to despair. She is a lantern who illuminates his path, his own little sun.</p></div>

It's frustrating, to say the least, and at worst, I question what makes him so afraid that he becomes a shadow. ...but he reminds me of papa, too, in that in those moments, if you use the right words, has something worthwhile to say, and that reminds me that there doesn't always need to be something said, and there doesn't always need to be a bleak black-and-white outcome." <b>-- Onuma Ahntifi</b></div></p>
* <p><div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px">"Oh, Rhesh'ir... he's done his best to temper his true nature, but I sense it in him still.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Screenshots"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #01000D;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>TRIBE INFORMATION</center></div></span></h3>

::*'''Tribe Name:''' Pirarucu Tribe

::*'''Families:''' Zhwan + Mujuuk

::*'''Allied Tribes:''' Molkoh Tribe

::*'''Original Location:''' North Shroud - Nomadic, mainly followed the rivers

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>SEXUAL MORES</center></div></span></h3>

::* The Matriarch is the only member of the clan that must possess a mate at all times. For the past few generations, Matriarchal mates have been more permanent, but in the past, they were rotated very frequently. This is likely due to times of struggle and a need for stronger blood.

::* Having a mate (husband or otherwise) is optional for the rest of the clan women.

::* Males of exceptional build and skill are "kept" and sometimes betrothed to allied tribes' specific females, but this is very rare. Most are not usually bartered, and are allowed come and go without ties, as long as they prove useful while within the tribe itself.

::* Males of "unworthy" status are dismissed, including the tribe's own male children when they are of age.

::* Male kits are numbered in the order of their birth. A number is given based on how many males were born in the current generation, not just by a single female.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>TRADITIONS</center></div></span></h3>

::* '''Matriarch Selection:''' It is agreed upon that if the Goddess Menphina bestowed the Matriarch of the current family a strong daughter, that she would be leader of the clan until she either passes it to her worthy daughter or until her demise. For the past several generations, the Zhwan family is the bearer of the Matriarch. There is no frustration between families regarding this, as it has been the other way around in the past. However, said daughter would need to excel in early childhood coming of age rituals in order to even qualify. The candidate needs to pass rigorous trials and overcome placed obstacles in order to ascend to her title as Matriarch. This would include skills of hunting and wilderness survival, but also that of reading, writing, trading, and a vast knowledge of the "outside" world around them.

::* '''Child Rearing:''' It is the responsibility of the entire clan to raise the children, however the majority of the task falls on the few generations above the current one being raised. Therefore, children are raised by the young adult women of the tribe, and also some of the males that stayed. Elders and the middle aged hunters rarely interact with newborn kits, even if they were their own child. As the child grew, elders would show more interest if the child seemed competant. Though female kits were shown favour in general, children of the Matriarch were also shown extra respect and care, whether male or female. Thus, Matriarchal children were usually the most well educated and knowledgeable of things beyond their lifestyle, due to the stories and lessons they were told.

::* '''Tribal Markings:''' Facial tattoos to the upper face and around the eyes are given at the age of seven to children, both female and male, who had proven their worth and showed promise. As with several other Keeper tribes, it was a sign to the Gods that, should the miqo'te die, he or she would serve as a warrior in the afterlife. Additional markings are given in later years as signs of strength and cunning when hunting. These are especially important for male children to earn, as such markings would show other Keeper tribes what they have already accomplished.

::* '''Coming of Age:''' At the age of 13, all children would individually be put to the test on their Name Day. Each would be assigned a quarry whose territory was at least three malms away from the current location of the tribe, then sent out into the wilderness to hunt it. Whether it took hours, days, or weeks, their acceptance back into the tribe would depend on whether they brought back the assigned animal in good condition. The corpse would also be inspected, taking into account the skill of the kill, and the shape of the meat once it arrived. The females' results, especially a possible candidate, were scruntinized very harshly. After the child's return, there would be a celebration for him or her, and offerings to the child's Mother. Though rare, there were times when the child did not return.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #50586F;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>CEREMONIES</center></div></span></h3>

::* '''Moon's Bounty Festivus:''' Each year, the Zhwan+Mujuuk clan would traverse the Shroud to come to a mutual meeting ground that was shared with allied tribes. This celebration would last for up to two weeks as they offered feasts, music, and dance to Menphina and her blessings. New children and Matriarch candidates were shown off, but all tribal members donned special festival attires and painted each other with bright colours. During this joyous occasion, hierarchy lines were blurred and everyone took pleasure in the company around them. It was something to look forward to each year, especially by the younger women seeking mates.

::* '''Coming of Age Ceremony:''' The returned child would be promptly bathed and cleaned until pristine. He or she would be dressed and painted, and possibly tattooed if the hunt was a very successful show of skill. Candidate females were given antelope fur somewhere on their attire to show their potential as leader. The Night would be devoted to teaching and telling the child of the world and their future with the tribe. This was done as a group, but the elders primarily spoke. Music is played and sometimes games and dancing took place, depending on the prowess of the child. Underwhelming hunt displays usually resulted in shorter celebrations with less enthusiasm. Males, whether honoured or not, would be offered their place within the tribe or be asked to leave. Those that could stay were not obligated to do so, and could go as they please. Males that were asked to leave the tribe were usually given up to a year to strengthen themselves enough to survive on their own. Very few exceptions are made.

::* '''New Era Celebration:''' Though not exactly celebrated as thoroughly by the Elders, like the Moon's Bounty festivus, the New Era was celebrated in the nearest city-state. In this case, Gridania. Usually, this was something the young women of the clan looked very much forward to, and would hunt for weeks prior to find the best furs to wear.

::* '''Oschon's Rite:''' Though rare, certain pairs of miqo'te who wish to "marry" undergo the Rite of Oschon. It can be compared to marriage, though rings are usually not the item of choice to be given. The Rite itself is a symbol of the lovers Menphina and Oschon, and their devotion to one another. This is a ceremony that depends entirely on the two individuals. It could be large, involving the entire tribe, but often it is more private, almost secretive. The traditional Rite has one of the Elder females perform the short ritual, but it is not necessary to have a shaman to make it official. One or both of the mated pair needs only to say the prayers out loud, as a show of promise to the Twelve and each other. Though optional, it is also traditional for the pair to exchange gifts, a meaningful trinket, after the prayers are said. Red is the colour most often associated with this Rite, so red somewhere on the attire is appropriate. The gifts themselves might also have red incorporated somewhere.

<p>Rhesh’ir is rather easy to seek out, being the Captain of a Free Company with some serious combat history--both positive and negative. Should a character wish to find him, merely stopping by the 81st Estate in the Mist (Ward 6, Plot 30) would usually prove to be eventful. However, if you are wanting a more unique approach, the following would be good options.</p>

* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Immortal Flames:</b> Rhesh’ir served in the Immortal Flames for a few years, but has since forsaken them as they did him.</div>
* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Shroud Resident:</b> Your character may know Rhesh’ir if he/she was born or roamed within the North Shroud 15-26 years ago.</div>
* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Angler:</b> Rhesh’ir is an avid fisherman and frequents Limsa for contests and to speak with other anglers.
* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Maelstrom:</b> The 81st Foreign Levy is considered under the Maelstrom, so any characters in the Maelstrom or in another Company could have easily heard of him/them.</div>

<p>Hello! My name is Amy, I'm 30 years old, and I am a seasoned roleplayer, having started all the way back in guilds on Neopets. Yep, that was a thing. I have not played many MMOs, but I have experienced Maplestory, Aion, and Guild Wars 2. I love FFXIV far more than any of those other games, and have been playing it since trying out the PS3 beta before launch.</p>

<p><font style="color:#D39526;" size="2" family="Georgia"><b>Ander Brookstone</b></font>, is a young Serpent Corporal within the Twin Adders, and a knowledgeable battlemage. Though not one for books or too much study in the subject of magicks, the elezen has a keen understanding of his own aether, and how to utilize the elements to create devastating power. He has had the ability to control the elements fire, ice, and lightning ever since he can remember.</p>

<br>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #932C33;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>APPEARANCE</center></div></span></h3>

<p>The Duskwight is very tall, standing 6 fulm 10 ilms from the ground. His physique is typically elezen, though he is quite muscular. He weighs roughly 220 ponze. Ander has sea green eyes that stand out against crimson red hair, varying from chin to shoulder length. He usually keeps it tied back and out of the way in a bun or loose ponytail when it is long. Freckles dot his cheeks, as well as scars. One quite noticeable scar crosses his face, and another is on his lower right jaw. Various other battle scars appear all over his body from his duties, but the elezen mostly keeps his form covered with his uniform or other clothing. His style ranges anywhere from leathers to robes, plain and ornate alike. However, the man does not concern himself with fashions of the times too much, and mainly just picks what he likes.
</p>

<br>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #932C33;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>PERSONALITY</center></div></span></h3>

<p><b>Kind. Loyal. <i>Unpredictable.</i></b></p> <p>Ander is a fairly easygoing man, and very approachable. He is likable amongst his men and has a good reputation within the city-state of Gridania. His heritage as a Duskwight has rarely interfered with his life, and if it does, he is quick to turn the other cheek. Ander is an all-around do-gooder, friendly elezen. He does, however, have an odd streak that only few of his men within the Twin Adders have seen and even fewer of his friends and family. It is as if something comes over him all at once, an anger and temper that shoves itself into the limelight. When this ‘evil’ side emerges, there is no telling what kind of destruction will ensue.</p>

<center><p>This is a list of the items that Ander currently is keeping on his person. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc.</p></center>

<center><p><b>Last Updated:</b> 11/08/15.</p></center>

::* <p><b>Staff/Focus:</b> Ander has a rather impressive collection of staves and other foci. He always has one on his person, regardless of the event or task. Those that are not in use are kept in his armoire within his flat in Gridania.</p>
::* <p><b>Treats:</b> Toka, his red panda, is especially fond of little, crunchy tidbits. In order to keep the little guy content and out of trouble, Ander keeps plenty of treats on hand. He also is known to carry greens for his chocobo, Magiere.</p>
::* <p><b>Ether Potions:</b> To replenish his aether after a hard fight, Ander will take it upon himself to medicate his depleted life energy.</p>
::* <p><b>Various Amplifiers:</b> Ander is always seen wearing some type of enhanced jewelry or amulet. He does this to strengthen his attacks and ward off enemy magicks.</p>
::* <p><b>Gil Purse:</b> Though he is not rich by any means, the mage has enough gil to get around Eorzea with little problem.</p>
::* <p><b>Toka:</b> Ander's red panda friend. He is mischievous and constantly hungry.</p>
::* <p><b>Magiere:</b> The Adder's chocobo, his treasured steed. Ander loves this chocobo like family.</p>

<p>As previously stated, Ander is proficient with Black Magicks/Thaumaturgy. His aether is vast and practiced, even before his family pushed for him to study at the Ossuary. He was only there for a short time, having learnt all that they could offer about the magick itself and learning to control it. He held minimal interest in the more priestly duties of the Magisters and acolytes in preparing the dead, and instead would rather use his gifts to focus on protecting the living. Though Ander's magickal abilities in thaumaturgy are very close to master level, he is absolutely unable to perform even the most basic conjury or arcanum spells. His aether turns on itself, hurting him in the process. It is for this reason that he does not attempt them in any form. In addition to thaumaturgy, Ander is very well adapted to using the Quarter Staff. He is often seen using his magicks staff as a pole for melee foes.

Though certainly viable, his spells are not at their peak with this staff, as his aether does not seem to be drawn to its focus as much as others.</p></div>

<center><p>Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Ander has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what he has been up to.</p></center>

* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Urth's Fount:</b> <i>Wolfliege Staff.</i> Ander and his squadron were sent to investigate a strange presence within the South Shroud, as several people from Quarrymill had gone missing. One of his comrades, Sergeant Qhas, mistakenly touched a mysterious and powerful dark artifact, letting loose some very intelligent and deep-dwelling Voidsent. As their squad was overwhelmed, some of the 81st Foreign Levy were along the same trail, and assisted Ander and his men to defeat the Voidsent. During this battle, Ander and a woman named Brielle Ashenfist combined their magicks into a rather devastating area-wide attack, while combining Fire and Lightning aspects. It was after this battle that Ander came to know the 81st as a Company, but had met some of its members in other settings.</div>

* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>The Observatory:</b> <i>Twin Adder Staff.</i> Though not exactly a battle, Ander had an especially bad episode with one of his blackouts, losing himself for several minutes. Syrress managed to suffer through it without injury, but only due to her quick thinking and managing to get the elezen's staff out of his hands.</div>

* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Sohm Al:</b> <i>Wolfliege Staff.</i> Ander assisted the 81st in clearing out scalekin and dravanians to keep their airship safe on its climb to the summit of the great mountain. Once at the top, he helped explore a bit of the Churning Mists, directly around Moghome.</div>

<p>If one asked this question to Ander himself, he would have very little to tell you. In truth, the man has no idea who he really is or where he came from. All he knows is that he woke up naked within the Twelveswood, stumbling aimlessly toward no one and nothing. The elezen had no name, no memory, only a seething migraine headache. He remembers very little from that sun. Had it not been for ''Roysia Brookstone'', the woman he would call his mother later, he would have likely fallen ill and died of chill.</p>

<p>The Brookstones, a fairly well-to-do midlander family, took in the wayward elezen after learning that he was basically a grown child. They gave him the name ‘Ander’ and included him in everything from there on. It is due to their act of kindness that the elezen has made a reasonably successful name for himself within the city of Gridania. Ander takes great pride in his family, and would do anything to repay the massive debt he owes them for saving his life. He stays with them, loyal, and helped them through sickness, the Calamity, and rebuilding after the fact.</p>

<p>Not long after the elezen found a stable life in the city, his world shifted as his expertise with magicks began showing itself randomly. After a few alarming occurrences, the Brookstones encouraged Ander to travel to Ul’dah and study within the Ossuary to hone his obvious skills in Thaumaturgy. This he did, but only with reluctance. Life in Ul’dah was not something Ander wished for himself, and he found the other potential mages to be ruthless, jealous, and cold-hearted. Unwilling to continue his training under the Coco-brothers, Ander returned home to Gridania, and studied on his own. Though the time in Ul’dah was brief, only just a cycle, he did learn the names of the spells he obviously knew, and how to cast them at will. This, for him, was life-altering.</p>

<p>After honing his craft, Ander enlisted to serve as a Twin Adder. He was not a mender, a writer, an adventurer, nor a businessman like the rest of his family--he knew he had to choose a path for himself. In this, he chose the life of a Battlemage, and donned the title of soldier. Through battles he earned experience, gained more control, but not without a price. His body shows the struggles of his past, with scars on his face, arms, and torso.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #932C33;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px silver;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>RECENT HISTORY</center></div></span></h3>

<p>Recently, Ander has been reassigned due to his major problem of blackouts. During these blackouts, he losing control and becomes as if he was another person entirely, full of rage, power, and wrath. The Adders are unsure what to do with a good soldier with bad problems, so they sent him away to Coerthas as a way to deal with him temporarily.</p>

<p>Prior to this, he gained the attention of some of the members of the 81st Foreign Levy, and has named himself as their ally. A few have agreed to assist him in the troublesome personal matters, and for that he is very grateful. One of them he has grown quite fond of, and has even forgotten some of his frustration with the Adders due to her kind and welcome visits.</p>

<p>After spending way too long in the cold northern regions, Ander decided to take action against his assignments. Though suffering a demotion in title, Ander is once again reassigned to the East Shroud until further notice. He is quite content with his current status, and has been using his time to repay the kindness the 81st has shown him by helping with some of their missions to the north.</p>

<p>Ander is currently stationed within '''Coerthas Central Highlands''', but he has Aetheryte access to several points on the Eorzean map. Below are some of the most common ways to know of or seek out this battlemage.</p>

* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Twin Adder:</b> Ander is a 2nd Class Sergeant within the Twin Adders, so if your character is in the Grand Company or a known ally of them, he/she might know of him.</div>
* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Gridanian</b> Ander is Gridanian and has spent the vast majority of his known life within the city.</div>
* <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px"><b>Twelveswood:</b> Ander knows the Twelveswood very well, and might know your character (or at least recognize them) if they are a frequent traveler. This is true especially for the East Shroud.</div>

<p>Hello! My name is Amy, I'm 30 years old, and I am a seasoned roleplayer, having started all the way back in guilds on Neopets. Yep, that was a thing. I have not played many MMOs, but I have experienced Maplestory, Aion, and Guild Wars 2. I love FFXIV far more than any of those other games, and have been playing it since trying out the PS3 beta before launch.</p>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;"><b>I'm very easygoing.</b> I don't tend to stress or get freaked out by anything too easily. (Just don't mention spiders. D: )</div>
<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;"><b>My time is limited.</b> In addition to work, I have a husband, family, dog, cat, future chickens, a house, and life that need tending to--RP is not my life! It is a past-time. If an RP premise does not sound like something my characters would do or if I just don't have time for it, I will tell you up front.</div>
<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;"><b>I roleplay my character as my character, not me!</b> It took a lot of experience and practice to learn the separation between character and myself, but I think I have it down reasonably well. Everyone has a bit of themselves in a character, sure, but I do not roleplay as myself. Please do not ever take anything my character says/does as my own view of things. I do not work that way!</div>

Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find upsetting. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:
<br>
<div align=center><table style="position:center;" width="70%">
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;"><h3><span class="mw-headline" id="I WILL NOT">

<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;"><b>Break the lore of the game to include your character concept or plot.</b> Sorry, I am a stickler for this. SE gives us such a vast world to play around in with plenty of ways to bend and weave things to create our own fun. Adding, removing or toying around with their world/magicks/races/history is not something I tolerate in RP. You are free to do as you want, but please respect if I do not change my views of the lore for your sake.</div>
<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;"><b>Publicly engage in any sort of highly questionable content.</b> Some things, not even always sexual, have a specific time and place. If I feel an RP is getting too risque or otherwise for a public setting, I will probably ask for it to continue elsewhere or simply leave. I'm not a prude, and neither are some of my characters, but I always aim to maintain respect for my friends.</div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;"><b>Roleplay romance and sensual scenes.</b> If it comes up, sure! :D I am not against or uncomfortable with romantic RP, but I usually tend to keep it in Skype or out of a public setting in game.</div>
<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;"><b>Abide to your logical headcanon. Usually.</b> I am all for getting creative with the lore, so long as it stays within the parameters of the world! I do this for my own characters, as well, so please feel free to poke me if something doesn't make sense. I am always willing to back up my actions and thoughts.</div>
<div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;"><b>Participate in fight/sparring RP.</b> Most of my characters are fighters, so I am open to dueling or actual fights between characters. Please just set the parameters of the fight with me OOCly, so I know how to write and what to expect!</div>
