'''Pimrhi Dia''' (PIM-REE DEE-UH), was once a kind and powerful Seer connected to the Echo, however, after the Calamity when she lost her husband and two children, her mind shattered. She is now a frail, and weakened woman who has started to practice dark void magic as a way to harness her grief. It's caused her to develop masochistic, and sadistic tendencies and a certain affinity for things related to death. Mixed with her mental instability and clairvoyance, her dark arts have made her an unpredictable ally/enemy to many. Pimrhi Dia is a character on the Balmung Server.

==The Character==

The first thing most people notice about the Seer, Pimrhi, is her thin, frail frame. Not even her ragged, tatter black robes can hide how emaciated she looks. She is malnourished, and looks to be very weak almost to the point of collapse. Her breath is always short and strained as if she were having trouble getting enough air. She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

The second thing most observers notice about this woman is her severe mental instability. She constantly seems lost in her own world in which she comments on regularly in a childlike manner. Being a Seer connected to the Echo, she has the gift of passively viewing possible outcomes of the future. These visions mixed with her delusions and insanity often times confuses those around her when she speaks. She frequently talks in riddles, and rhymes of the things she sees. Pimrhi has a particular fondness for liars, murderers, and thieves. She often makes comparisons between secrets, pain, and death to sweet tastes, warm feelings, or pleasant music. Many people find her unnerving not due to her power, but to her complete lack of remorse, and enjoyment of causing pain.

==Pre-Calamity History==

Pimrhi was one of the oldest children of Aran Dia and Ehtni'a Spihran, and older sister to [[Aran'sae Dia]]. Pimrhi had a very nice childhood. With so many children in her family, she grew to be very reliant on social interactions, but with a splash of independence. After all, with so many siblings, one had to learn very quickly to hold your own. She often cared for her younger siblings when her parents were not present. She felt very close to her brothers and sisters even when some of them moved away to pursue their own lives; such as her youngest brother Aran'sae who eventually became a Hearer. Some time after this, Pimrhi discovered she too possessed a gift. Clairvoyance. It was this ability that allowed her to see her future. She would become a great healer one day. Pimrhi had always been the type to care for others, and quickly embraced her gifts as a Seer in order to help others. This lead her to pursue a medical path in life. With plans to become a Physicker with a major in herbal remedies, she left home to live on her own. While finding her own life, and learning about medicine, she met a very smart, and charming Keeper Miqo'te named Gadaht'a who was training to be an Arcanist. He found her passion for medicine, and her special ability of the Echo, to be fascinating. The two fell in love quickly and married; eventually they had a son. Two years later, Pimrhi was expecting another son on the way.

Then came the Calamity. While 7 months pregnant with her second son, and trying to protect her older son and husband, the skies were lit with fire and came crashing down on their village. The town quickly started to evacuate to safer areas away from the fires that now erupted all around the forest. Gadaht'a tried to get his wife to safety, but perished in the flames. This was the first crack to her psyche. With all the smoke and ash in the air, Pimrhi couldn't see. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think past the grief of losing her husband. The young woman tried to make her way through the burning forest with the rest of the evacuees, but succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed out with her 2 year old son in her arms as the fires crept towards them. She woke up hours later from the pain all around her body. She was covered in burns, and was severely injured. A healer in the group of evacuees who pulled Pimrhi to safety, tried to mend her and her child's wounds, but he could not save the 2 year old boy. Pimrhi's baby died in his mother's arms. This broke her already distressed mental state. With only her and her unborn son left alive, she pulled herself to her feet with the help of the other villagers, and made their continued escape from the chaos. Days later, through the stress, injuries, and physical burden, she miscarried. What was left of her already damaged mind was swept away. Pimrhi fled from the villagers who were trying to care for her; taking the bodies of her two dead children with her. Her whereabouts after that went unknown and many assumed her dead.

==Post-Calamity==

Five years after the Calamity, late at night in Drybone Cemetery of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, a Roegadyn man named [[Mhastoum Greinsyn ]] happen to wander off after a funeral he had attended. Mhastoum strolled into an unkempt area of the cemetery where he was confronted by a dark figure. (WIP)

==Miqo’te “River Dialect”==

((OOC Note: Not much is known in-game about the Miqo’te Language besides it being very old. So, I invented my own Dialect of the Miqo’te Language. My version of the Language takes notes from Thai, Japanese, Latin and English. I’ve created it to sound similar to the Miqo’te Naming conventions as much as possible.

Both Keepers of the Moon and Seekers of the Sun may know this River Dialect. The Dialect is not specific to a race, but to a geographic region. Miqo’te who grew up near a River are more likely to speak this dialect, but it’s not required. Some characters outside the Miqo’te culture such as Hyurs, Elezens, Ixals, etc, may know the basics of the language as well. Your character is free to learn this language if you like and if you think it fits your character’s story. Just please don’t alter or steal this work as your own.))

<big>'''River Language Lessons'''</big>

The first thing you need to learn is that this language is based off the English language’s vowels. In other words, River Dialect is partly a vowel substitution language. It is similar to a cipher, except that the only thing changed out are the vowels. What I mean by “partly a vowel substitution language,“ is there is another part of the language involving real conjugation of words based on pronouns, and possessiveness. Let’s begin with the six vowel substitutions before we explain the Pronouns.

'''Vowel Cipher:'''
*A = ‘ahmi
*E = ‘te
*I = ‘isah
*O= ‘to
*U= ‘unha
*Y= ‘yhamin

By substituting vowels with these phrases, including the apostrophe (Unless it‘s the first letter of the word), into English words, you will develop a whole new word that sounds like it came from a whole different language. Let’s see some examples, shall we?

*School = Sch’to’tol
*Village = V’isahll’ahmig’te
*Work = W’tork
*Tavern = T’ahmiv’tern

*Family = F’ahmim’isahl’yhamin
*Children = Ch’isahldr’ten
*Friend = Fr’isah’tend
*Stranger = Str’ahming’ter

*Apple = Ahmippl’te
*Tomato = T’tom’ahmit’to
*Pumpkin = P’uhnampk’isahn
*Lettuce = L’tett’uhnac’te

*North = N’torth
*South = S’to’uhnath
*East = Te’ahmist
*West = W’test

*Tunic = T’uhnan’isahc
*Armour = Ahmirm’to’uhnar
*Dress = Dr’tess
*Robe = R’tob’te

*Inside = Isahns’isahd’te
*Above = Ahmib’tov’te
*Through = Thr’to’uhnagh
*On top =Ton t’top

*Happy = H’ahmipp’yhamin
*Sad = S’ahmid
*Angry = Ahmingr’yhamin
*Frightened = Fr’isahght’ten’ted

*Cipher = C’isahph’ter
*Puzzle = P’uhnazzl’te
*Teaser = T’te’ahmis’ter
*Riddle= R’isahddl’te

*Meat = M’te’ahmit
*Fur = F’uhnar
*Horn = H’torn
*Tail = T’ahmi’isahl

*Void = V’to’isahd
*Moon = M’to’ton
*Sun = S’uhnan
*Sky = Sk’yhamin

*Fight = F’isahght
*Injury = Isahnj’uhnar’yhamin
*Healing = H’te’ahmil’isahng
*Magic = M’ahmig’isahc

*Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = S’uhnap’terc’ahmil’isahfr’ahmig’isahl’isahst’isahc’texp’isah’ahmil’isahd’toc’isah’to’uhnas

Did you catch onto the basics of Miqo’te River Dialect by looking over the examples? Now that we’ve covered all the vowel substitutions, let’s get on with the pronouns used in the language. The Language is heavily based on culture, and respect. If you’ve noticed, River Miqo’te Dialect has a sort of Asian feel to it, and like an Asian language the language is conjugated differently depending on the gender of the speaker. The following words do not follow the Vowel Substitution rules, and instead, the entire word is substituted out for its River Dialect counterpart.

'''Pronoun Cipher:'''
*I / me (male speaker) = Pao
*I / me (female speaker) = Lai
*I / me (genderless) = Yhin
*You (male subject) = T’nao
*You (female subject) / You all (plural 2nd Person) = T’kai
*You (genderless) = T’ghin
*He / Him = Hen
*She / Her = Shen
*Genderless 3rd Person / It = Yem
*We / Us= Jinh
*They / Them= Funh

As you can see, if you are a male you will refer to yourself as “Pao“. If you are Female you will refer to yourself as “Lai.” If the 1st Person speaker is Genderless, they would use “Yhin.” If you are speaking directly to a male you refer to that person as “T’nao“. If you are directly speaking to a female you refer to her as “T’ghin“. If you are speaking to a male, you refer to him as “Hen“. If you are speaking to an identifying female, you use “Shen“. If you are speaking to a person, creature, or entity whose gender is unknown or fluid, you would refer to that person as Yem. Remember, just like in real life, using the wrong gender pronoun can be seen as insulting.

As you can see, the language is very gender focused. For a subject of unknown gender or for an inanimate object, River Dialect uses the all encompassing “Yem.” Yem would be used with things in nature such as tree spirits, river spirits, rock golems, forests, meadows, stars, and the sky. “Yem” can also be used for objects like a cup, a house, an idea, a feeling, and concepts, etc. So “It” would become “Yem” in all cases where “It” is used. When speaking to a "you" of unknown gender, or a group of genderless entities, use the Genderless form “T’ghin“ as well. “T’kai” can be used when speaking of a plural “You” of females, however if there is one male present in the group of females, you would still use “T’kai.” Even if there is one female in a group of hundreds of males, the word “T’kai” would still be used when speaking to them as a group. “T’kai” is the standard “You all,” the 2nd Person Plural. It is considered polite. It could be called sexist by our standards, but real languages that are gender focused follow this rule as well, so for the sake of an authentic and cultural feel, we will follow this rule too. After all, females in the Miqo’te culture are more dominant gender.

Let’s see some examples with using the word “Love” which in River Dialect turns into “L’tov’te.”

*I love you (M to F) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to GL) = Pao l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (F to M) = Lai l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to GL) = Lai l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (GL to M) = Yhin l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (GL to F) = Yhin l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to M) = Pao l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to F) = Lai l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (GL to GL) = Yhin l’tov’te t’ghin.

*You (M subject) love him = T’nao l’tov’te hen.
*You (F subject) love him = T’kai l’tov’te hen.
*You (GL subject) love him = T’ghin l’tov’te hen.
*You (M subject) love her = T’nao l’tov’te shen.
*You (F subject) love her = T’kai l’tov’te shen.
*You (GL subject) love her = T’ghin l’tov’te shen.
*You (M subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’nao l’tov’te yem.
*You (F subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’kai l’tov’te yem.
*You (GL subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’ghin l’tov’te yem

*We love them = Jinh l’tov’te funh.
*They love us = Funh l’tov’te jinh.
*We love us = Jinh l’tov’te jinh.
*They love them = Funh l’tov’te funh.

*He loves you (M subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’nao.
*He loves you (F subject) = Henl’tov’te t’kai.
*He loves you (GL subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*She loves you (M subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’nao.
*She loves you (F subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai.
*She loves you (GL subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (M subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’nao.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (F subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’kai.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (GL subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’ghin.

*I love you (M to plural subject) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai
*She loves you (F subject to plural subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai
*You love you (Plural subject to plural subject) = T’kai l’tov’te t’kai

As well as being a heavily gender focused language, the language is also focused on respect with the use of a Polite Particle at the end of the sentence. A Polite Particle is a word said at the end of the sentence to denote calmness, and thoughtfulness. In other words, by omitting the Polite Particle, your sentence will come off as abrupt, rude, or even be considered by others as you cussing. Males and females have different Polite Particles used after every sentence.

'''Polite Particles:'''
*Male Speaker’s Polite Particle = Ruu Sai
*Female Speaker’s Polite Particle = Len Sai
*Formal Speaker’s Polite Particle = Sai

Individuals who identify as Genderless or Gender Fluid would use the more formal “Sai” ; omitting Ruu or Len completely. In formal occasions such as speaking to one’s boss, or teacher, you would use “Sai” ; omitting the Ruu or Len as well. Polite Particles can be omitted when speaking to those you feel as your peers, friends, and family, but be careful. If you feel you can be casual with your teacher, and omit the polite particle when speaking with your teacher because you feel close to him or her, your teacher may not feel the same way, and may feel as if you were being rude, disrespectful, and low class. A safe bet when speaking to those outside your circle of close friends and siblings around the same age, is always use a Polite Particle. Age plays a large factor in the Polite Particle usage. If the person you are speaking to is older than you or of a higher rank, it’s safe to bet you will use the Formal Polite Particle.

Before we see some examples of Polite Particles in use, let’s discuss possessive forms like “My cat,” “Her Sword,” and “Their Eel Pie.” You take the pronoun and add the Miqo’te River Dialect word “ ‘ma” directly to the end of the word (apostrophe and all) to form the River versions of Mine, My, Yours, Your, Theirs, Their, Ours, Our, Hers and His.

'''Possessive Form = ‘ma'''

*Mine / My (m) = Pao'ma
*Mine / My (f) = Lai'ma
*Mine / My (gl) = Yhin’ma
*Yours / Your (m subject) = T’nao’ma
*Yours / Your (f subject / plural you) = T’kai’ma
*Yours / Your (gl subject) = T’ghin’ma
*His = Hen'ma
*Hers / Her = Shen'ma
*(GL 3rd Person Possessive) / Its = Yem’ma
*Ours / Our = Jinh'ma
*Theirs / Their = Funh'ma

With the use of Proper Nouns such as a name of a person, place, or thing, you would follow the same rule, and place " 'ma " at the end of the Proper Noun.

For example, the sentence "Pimrhi’s baby is adorable!" would be translated into: "Pimrhi’ma b'ahmib'yhamin isahs ahmid’tor’ahmibl’te!”

Let’s talk about Reflexive Pronouns. Now here is the tricky part that combines a few rules so you’ll have to think about the word carefully. Words like Myself, Yourself, Yourselves, Ourselves, Themselves, Himself, Herself and Itself will combine many rules from the River DIalect. Not only do you have to think of the proper pronoun, but also the gender, the subject, and the possessiveness. Here is what each word would look like.

'''Reflexive Pronouns'''
*Myself (M speaker) = Pao’mas’telf
*Myself (F speaker) = Lai’mas’telf
*Myself (GL speaker) = Yhin’mas’telf
*Yourself (M subject) = T’nao’mas’telf
*Yourself (F subject) = T’kai’mas’telf
*Yourself (GL subject) = T’ghin’mas’telf
*Yourselves (Plural subject) = T’kai’mas’telv’tes
*Ourselves = Jinh’mas’telv’tes
*Themselves = Funh’mas’telv’tes
*Himself = Hen’mas’telf
*Herself = Shen’mas’telf
*(GL 3rd Person Reflexive) / Itself = Yem‘mas‘telf

Now let’s see some examples now of Polite particles, and more Possessive forms.

*''That is my hat (M speaker)'' = Th’ahmit isahs pao’ma h’ahmit, ruu sai.

*''My hat is on your head (GL speaker to F subject)'' = Yhin’ma h’ahmit isahs ton t’kai’ma h’te’ahmid, sai.

*''This hat is mine. It is not yours. (F speaker to GL subject)'' = Th’isahs h’ahmit isahs lai’ma. Yem isahs n’tot t’ghin’ma, len sai.

*''The hat belongs to them. It is theirs (Formal speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit b’tel’tongs t’to th’tem. Yem isahs funh’ma, sai

*''The Hat’s button fell off (F speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit’ma b’uhnatt’ton f’tell toff, len sai.

*''Aran’sae’s mother's hat is better. It tastes great. (M speaker)'' = Aran’sae’ma m’toth’ter’ma h’ahmit isahs b’tett’ter, ruu sai. Yem t’ahmist’tes gr’te’ahmit, ruu sai.

The apostrophe is used a lot in this language to denote a small breath, or an intake of air. It’s a very calm language so you will see the apostrophe used a lot. However, it is never used in the sense of contracting words. Contractions are vacant from the language completely. Words are never shortened. “Does not” never becomes “Doesn’t.” “Cannot” never becomes “Can’t.” “Let us” never becomes “Let’s.” Etc. You will also never see the Apostrophe used as a diacritic mark. Now let’s used everything we’ve learned so far about the River Miqo’te Dialect!

*''I love my sandwich! (m speaker)'' = Pao l’tov’te pao’ma s’ahmindw’isahch, ruu sai!

*''I ate three slices of Mother Miounne’s eel pie, hehehe! (f speaker)'' = Lai ahmit’te thr’te’te sl’isahsc’tes of M’toth’ter Miounne’ma eel pie, len sai, hehehe!

*''You are running away from it. (gl speaker to m)'' = T’nao ahmir’te r’uhnann’isahng ahmiw’ahmi’yhamin fr’tom yem, sai.

*''Their party is cool (m speaker)'' = Funh’ma p’ahmirt’yhamin isahs c’to’tol, ruu sai.

*''Its head hurts (f speaker)'' = Yem’ma h’te’ahmid h’uhnarts, len sai.

*''I have a wedgie. It hurts. (gl speaker)'' = Yhin h’ahmiv’te ahmi w’tedg’isah’te, sai. Yem h’uhnarts, sai.

*''Can I help you? (gl speaker to Group)'' = C’ahmin Yhin h’telp t’kai, sai?

*''They can help themselves to some roasted Dodo from Thanalan. (m speak)'' = Funh c’ahmi h’telp funh’mas’telv’tes t’to s’tom’te r’to’ahmist’ted Dodo fr’tom Thanalan, ruu sai.

*''I want to go to Gridania in a subligar! (m speak)'' = Pao w’ahmint t’to g’to t’to Gridania isahn ahmi subligar!

*''Where can we rendezvous? Vesper Bay?(gl speak)'' = Wh’ter’te c’ahmin jinh rendezvous, sai? Vesper Bay, sai?

*''Thank you (gl speak to f)'' = Th’ahmink t’kai, sai.

*''You are welcome (f speak to gl)'' = T’ghin ahmir’te w’telc’tom’te, len sai.''

As you can see, the word Dodo and Eel Pie are not translated into the Miqo’te River Dialect. Names for food, countries, places, cities, and people’s names in general are left alone since they are taken from other languages. Gridania, Thanalan, Gold Saucer, Vesper Bay, C’sansha, Naoh’ra and other proper nouns would all remain untouched. Words take from other languages are also not switched into River Dialect, such as: Costa del Sol, La Noscea, Château, Java, and rendezvous. You may also have noticed a few ruder or meaner sentences lack the polite particle in order to increase the intensity of the rude or excited sentence.

Now that we’ve gone over how to form this language, let’s return to the subject about words you will never ever see in the language. The letters of English Pronouns will never be ciphered into River Dialect. The word “it” will never be ciphered since “Yem“ is used. Names of people, places, things, and any other Proper Noun will not be ciphered. The Apostrophe mark will never be used to denote possessiveness of a subject, in a contraction, or used as a diacritic mark. Let’s see some examples of what you will never see. If you use these words or phrases, people who speak the River Miqo’te Dialect fluently will know you are still a beginner.

==Miqo’te River Dialect: Advanced Level==
'''Slang, Culture differences, and River Dialect Alphabet'''

Welcome to the Advanced level of the River Dialect. This section is for those of you who feel comfortable enough to start using slang or want to know more about the written language of the River Miqo’tes.
Like all languages, there is a formal way to speak and a casual way of speaking that involves slang. Normally younger people or people who are of a more casual lifestyle like artists, hospitality industry workers, and laborers use River slang. Teenagers are renowned for their usage of slang so when speaking to a young Miqo’te who speaks River Dialect, expect to see a lot of these new, “hip” language rules.

'''Slang Pronoun Cipher:'''
* I / me (male speaker) = Po
* I / me (female speaker) = La
* I / me (genderless speaker) = Yhi
* You (male subject) = Tana
* You (female subject) = Taka
* You (genderless subject) = Taga
* He / Him= He’en
* She / Her = She’en
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’en
* We / Us= Ji
* They / Them= Fu

As you can see the first person versions of Pao and Lai are shortened to Po and La. Miqo’te teenagers who speak RIver Dialect, and casual speakers use a more abrupt tone when referring to themselves. The same rule applies to the word “You” in both gender forms. “T’nao” turns into “Tana” and “T’kai” turns into just “Taka.“ “T’ghin” turns into “Taga.” Teenagers who use these altered forms normally speaker faster, and often leave out the polite particle since they perceive everything as being casual with no regard to age differences. This causes a lot of arguments in households where the children speak to their elders with slang. You can also use this slang version to sound ruder. Gangsters, tough individuals, and criminals will often use this type of language rule as well. School children get punished for using this type of language with their teachers.

Possessiveness also changes when using River slang. The normal way to denote possessiveness is to add “ ‘ma” to the pronoun or subject. However, in River slang, the apostrophe and the letter “A” is dropped. What is left is just the “M” which is placed at the end of the pronoun or subject as part of the word. However, for second and third person forms, the “M” will replace the “N” at the end of the word. This is seen as being “Cooler” sounding, similar to how English speaking teenagers will replace the “S” for a “Z” in words such as foodz, toyz, and lawlz for fun.

'''Slang Possessive Form'''
* Mine / My (m) = Pom
* Mine / My (f) = Lam
* Mine / my (gl) = Yhim
* Yours / Your (m subject) = Tanam
* Yours / Your (f subject) = Takam
* Yours / Your (gl subject) = Tagam
* His / its = He’em
* Hers = She’em
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’em
* Ours / Our = Jim
* Theirs / Their = Fum

These new slang version also affect Reflexive forms. Let’s take a look.

* Myself (M speaker) = Poms’telf
* Myself (F speaker) = Lams’telf
* Myself (GL speaker) = Yhims’telf
* Yourself (M subject) = Tanams’telf
* Yourself / Yourselves (F subject / Plural You) = Takams’telf / Takams’telv’tes
* Yourself (GL subject) = Tagams’telf
* Ourselves = Jims’telv’tes
* Themselves = Fums’telv’tes
* Himself = He’ems’emaolf
* Herself = She’ems’emaolf
* Itself = Ye’ems‘emaolf

And those are the differences in the slang, casual version of the River Miqo’te Language. Remember, you will be considered a bit ruder when using this form due to the abruptness of the language, and also for the lack of Polite Particles.

<big>'''Language Culture'''</big>

Languages have a culture in of itself. With such a wide range of Seekers of the Sun, Keepers of the Moon, and other races who’ve learned the River DIalect, there are certain things that have to be mentioned in order to understand the whole language beyond the basics. Culture plays a huge factor in a way someone speaks, and with such a heavily gender focused language, we should talk about how some people feel towards gender. In this cast, gay men, lesbian women, transgender, or Gender fluid. In a similar way as some English speakers refer to each other or themselves by the identifying gender, River Dialect does the same.

A gay Miqo’te man referring to himself as “Lai” is not uncommon to hear. He would also not mind if being referred to as “Shen“ or “T’kai.” In the same sense, you may find him speaking to you with the feminine Polite Particle. By using the female forms of pronouns and using the female Polite Particle, he is feminizing himself, and is clearly open about his sexuality. More masculine gay men tend not to use the female forms when speaking. Some Gay men interchange their pronouns and polite particles often; depending on the group he is socializing with. On the other side of the same coin, Lesbian women who wish to masculinize themselves will use “Pao” when speaking about themselves, and would not mind being referred to as “Hen” or “T’nao.” A lesbian Miqo’te woman may also use the Polite Partle “Ruu sai,” however, this is less common than gay men using the Polite Particle “Len sai.” Females are the dominant gender in most Miqo’te populations, and often will take pride in that.

If you are speaking to a gay teenager who uses the slang versions of words, you may hear him or her use the opposite gender forms of the slang versions. If an individual identifies as Gender FLuid, they may continue to use gender neutral conjugations, or use all of them. Gender plays such a big part in the River language that a masculine man using the female forms is seen as humorous. River Dialect speaking drag queens take advantage of this humor by using the female forms in a high pitch voice, and then suddenly switching into a low tone and using masculine slang.

The last thing we will talk about is the impolite particle, or in other words, how to cuss in River Dialect. It is very simple to cuss in this language because all you have to do is end your sentence or word with the particle “Waa loi” and it will come off as insulting. The word “Waa loi” in ancient days was used to curse other‘s health, and fortune, and to wish them death. This superstition dates back farther than the River Dialect’s written word. To this day, the word “Waa loi” can be used by itself as a general cuss word, as a sentence ender to denote hatred, and basically, a way to have people not like you. Placing “Waa loi” at the end of your sentence when speaking with someone means you consider them your enemy, similar to if an English speaker referred to someone as a worthless bitch while talking to them. Sibling rivals are known to use “waa loi” when speaking to each other. In jest or in seriousness, others hearing this would look down at the language in public places.

'''Pimrhi Dia''' (PIM-REE DEE-UH), was once a kind and powerful Seer connected to the Echo, however, after the Calamity when she lost her husband and two children, her mind shattered. She is now a frail, and weakened woman who has started to practice dark void magic as a way to harness her grief. It's caused her to develop masochistic, and sadistic tendencies and a certain affinity for things related to death. Mixed with her mental instability and clairvoyance, her dark arts have made her an unpredictable ally/enemy to many. Pimrhi Dia is a character on the Balmung Server.

==The Character==

The first thing most people notice about the Seer, Pimrhi, is her thin, frail frame. Not even her ragged, tatter black robes can hide how emaciated she looks. She is malnourished, and looks to be very weak almost to the point of collapse. Her breath is always short and strained as if she were having trouble getting enough air. She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

The second thing most observers notice about this woman is her severe mental instability. She constantly seems lost in her own world in which she comments on regularly in a childlike manner. Being a Seer connected to the Echo, she has the gift of passively viewing possible outcomes of the future. These visions mixed with her delusions and insanity often times confuses those around her when she speaks. She frequently talks in riddles, and rhymes of the things she sees. Pimrhi has a particular fondness for liars, murderers, and thieves. She often makes comparisons between secrets, pain, and death to sweet tastes, warm feelings, or pleasant music. Many people find her unnerving not due to her power, but to her complete lack of remorse, and enjoyment of causing pain.

==Pre-Calamity History==

Pimrhi was one of the oldest children of Aran Dia and Ehtni'a Spihran, and older sister to [[Aran'sae Dia]]. Pimrhi had a very nice childhood. With so many children in her family, she grew to be very reliant on social interactions, but with a splash of independence. After all, with so many siblings, one had to learn very quickly to hold your own. She often cared for her younger siblings when her parents were not present. She felt very close to her brothers and sisters even when some of them moved away to pursue their own lives; such as her youngest brother Aran'sae who eventually became a Hearer. Some time after this, Pimrhi discovered she too possessed a gift. Clairvoyance. It was this ability that allowed her to see her future. She would become a great healer one day. Pimrhi had always been the type to care for others, and quickly embraced her gifts as a Seer in order to help others. This lead her to pursue a medical path in life. With plans to become a Physicker with a major in herbal remedies, she left home to live on her own. While finding her own life, and learning about medicine, she met a very smart, and charming Keeper Miqo'te named Gadaht'a who was training to be an Arcanist. He found her passion for medicine, and her special ability of the Echo, to be fascinating. The two fell in love quickly and married; eventually they had a son. Two years later, Pimrhi was expecting another son on the way.

Then came the Calamity. While 7 months pregnant with her second son, and trying to protect her older son and husband, the skies were lit with fire and came crashing down on their village. The town quickly started to evacuate to safer areas away from the fires that now erupted all around the forest. Gadaht'a tried to get his wife to safety, but perished in the flames. This was the first crack to her psyche. With all the smoke and ash in the air, Pimrhi couldn't see. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think past the grief of losing her husband. The young woman tried to make her way through the burning forest with the rest of the evacuees, but succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed out with her 2 year old son in her arms as the fires crept towards them. She woke up hours later from the pain all around her body. She was covered in burns, and was severely injured. A healer in the group of evacuees who pulled Pimrhi to safety, tried to mend her and her child's wounds, but he could not save the 2 year old boy. Pimrhi's baby died in his mother's arms. This broke her already distressed mental state. With only her and her unborn son left alive, she pulled herself to her feet with the help of the other villagers, and made their continued escape from the chaos. Days later, through the stress, injuries, and physical burden, she miscarried. What was left of her already damaged mind was swept away. Pimrhi fled from the villagers who were trying to care for her; taking the bodies of her two dead children with her. Her whereabouts after that went unknown and many assumed her dead.

==Post-Calamity==

Five years after the Calamity, late at night in Drybone Cemetery of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, a Roegadyn man named [[Mhastoum Greinsyn ]] happen to wander off after a funeral he had attended. Mhastoum strolled into an unkempt area of the cemetery where he was confronted by a dark figure. (WIP)

==Miqo’te “River Dialect”==

((OOC Note: Not much is known in-game about the Miqo’te Language besides it being very old. So, I invented my own Dialect of the Miqo’te Language. My version of the Language takes notes from Thai, Japanese, Latin and English. I’ve created it to sound similar to the Miqo’te Naming conventions as much as possible.

Both Keepers of the Moon and Seekers of the Sun may know this River Dialect. The Dialect is not specific to a race, but to a geographic region. Miqo’te who grew up near a River are more likely to speak this dialect, but it’s not required. Some characters outside the Miqo’te culture such as Hyurs, Elezens, Ixals, etc, may know the basics of the language as well. Your character is free to learn this language if you like and if you think it fits your character’s story. Just please don’t alter or steal this work as your own.))

<big>'''River Language Lessons'''</big>

The first thing you need to learn is that this language is based off the English language’s vowels. In other words, River Dialect is partly a vowel substitution language. It is similar to a cipher, except that the only thing changed out are the vowels. What I mean by “partly a vowel substitution language,“ is there is another part of the language involving real conjugation of words based on pronouns, and possessiveness. Let’s begin with the six vowel substitutions before we explain the Pronouns.

'''Vowel Cipher:'''
*A = ‘ahmi
*E = ‘te
*I = ‘isah
*O= ‘to
*U= ‘unha
*Y= ‘yhamin

By substituting vowels with these phrases, including the apostrophe (Unless it‘s the first letter of the word), into English words, you will develop a whole new word that sounds like it came from a whole different language. Let’s see some examples, shall we?

*School = Sch’to’tol
*Village = V’isahll’ahmig’te
*Work = W’tork
*Tavern = T’ahmiv’tern

*Family = F’ahmim’isahl’yhamin
*Children = Ch’isahldr’ten
*Friend = Fr’isah’tend
*Stranger = Str’ahming’ter

*Apple = Ahmippl’te
*Tomato = T’tom’ahmit’to
*Pumpkin = P’uhnampk’isahn
*Lettuce = L’tett’uhnac’te

*North = N’torth
*South = S’to’uhnath
*East = Te’ahmist
*West = W’test

*Tunic = T’uhnan’isahc
*Armour = Ahmirm’to’uhnar
*Dress = Dr’tess
*Robe = R’tob’te

*Inside = Isahns’isahd’te
*Above = Ahmib’tov’te
*Through = Thr’to’uhnagh
*On top =Ton t’top

*Happy = H’ahmipp’yhamin
*Sad = S’ahmid
*Angry = Ahmingr’yhamin
*Frightened = Fr’isahght’ten’ted

*Cipher = C’isahph’ter
*Puzzle = P’uhnazzl’te
*Teaser = T’te’ahmis’ter
*Riddle= R’isahddl’te

*Meat = M’te’ahmit
*Fur = F’uhnar
*Horn = H’torn
*Tail = T’ahmi’isahl

*Void = V’to’isahd
*Moon = M’to’ton
*Sun = S’uhnan
*Sky = Sk’yhamin

*Fight = F’isahght
*Injury = Isahnj’uhnar’yhamin
*Healing = H’te’ahmil’isahng
*Magic = M’ahmig’isahc

*Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = S’uhnap’terc’ahmil’isahfr’ahmig’isahl’isahst’isahc’texp’isah’ahmil’isahd’toc’isah’to’uhnas

Did you catch onto the basics of Miqo’te River Dialect by looking over the examples? Now that we’ve covered all the vowel substitutions, let’s get on with the pronouns used in the language. The Language is heavily based on culture, and respect. If you’ve noticed, River Miqo’te Dialect has a sort of Asian feel to it, and like an Asian language the language is conjugated differently depending on the gender of the speaker. The following words do not follow the Vowel Substitution rules, and instead, the entire word is substituted out for its River Dialect counterpart.

'''Pronoun Cipher:'''
*I / me (male speaker) = Pao
*I / me (female speaker) = Lai
*I / me (genderless) = Yhin
*You (male subject) = T’nao
*You (female subject) / You all (plural 2nd Person) = T’kai
*You (genderless) = T’ghin
*He / Him = Hen
*She / Her = Shen
*Genderless 3rd Person / It = Yem
*We / Us= Jinh
*They / Them= Funh

As you can see, if you are a male you will refer to yourself as “Pao“. If you are Female you will refer to yourself as “Lai.” If the 1st Person speaker is Genderless, they would use “Yhin.” If you are speaking directly to a male you refer to that person as “T’nao“. If you are directly speaking to a female you refer to her as “T’ghin“. If you are speaking to a male, you refer to him as “Hen“. If you are speaking to an identifying female, you use “Shen“. If you are speaking to a person, creature, or entity whose gender is unknown or fluid, you would refer to that person as Yem. Remember, just like in real life, using the wrong gender pronoun can be seen as insulting.

As you can see, the language is very gender focused. For a subject of unknown gender or for an inanimate object, River Dialect uses the all encompassing “Yem.” Yem would be used with things in nature such as tree spirits, river spirits, rock golems, forests, meadows, stars, and the sky. “Yem” can also be used for objects like a cup, a house, an idea, a feeling, and concepts, etc. So “It” would become “Yem” in all cases where “It” is used. When speaking to a "you" of unknown gender, or a group of genderless entities, use the Genderless form “T’ghin“ as well. “T’kai” can be used when speaking of a plural “You” of females, however if there is one male present in the group of females, you would still use “T’kai.” Even if there is one female in a group of hundreds of males, the word “T’kai” would still be used when speaking to them as a group. “T’kai” is the standard “You all,” the 2nd Person Plural. It is considered polite. It could be called sexist by our standards, but real languages that are gender focused follow this rule as well, so for the sake of an authentic and cultural feel, we will follow this rule too. After all, females in the Miqo’te culture are more dominant gender.

Let’s see some examples with using the word “Love” which in River Dialect turns into “L’tov’te.”

*I love you (M to F) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to GL) = Pao l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (F to M) = Lai l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to GL) = Lai l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (GL to M) = Yhin l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (GL to F) = Yhin l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to M) = Pao l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to F) = Lai l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (GL to GL) = Yhin l’tov’te t’ghin.

*You (M subject) love him = T’nao l’tov’te hen.
*You (F subject) love him = T’kai l’tov’te hen.
*You (GL subject) love him = T’ghin l’tov’te hen.
*You (M subject) love her = T’nao l’tov’te shen.
*You (F subject) love her = T’kai l’tov’te shen.
*You (GL subject) love her = T’ghin l’tov’te shen.
*You (M subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’nao l’tov’te yem.
*You (F subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’kai l’tov’te yem.
*You (GL subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’ghin l’tov’te yem

*We love them = Jinh l’tov’te funh.
*They love us = Funh l’tov’te jinh.
*We love us = Jinh l’tov’te jinh.
*They love them = Funh l’tov’te funh.

*He loves you (M subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’nao.
*He loves you (F subject) = Henl’tov’te t’kai.
*He loves you (GL subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*She loves you (M subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’nao.
*She loves you (F subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai.
*She loves you (GL subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (M subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’nao.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (F subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’kai.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (GL subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’ghin.

*I love you (M to plural subject) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai
*She loves you (F subject to plural subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai
*You love you (Plural subject to plural subject) = T’kai l’tov’te t’kai

As well as being a heavily gender focused language, the language is also focused on respect with the use of a Polite Particle at the end of the sentence. A Polite Particle is a word said at the end of the sentence to denote calmness, and thoughtfulness. In other words, by omitting the Polite Particle, your sentence will come off as abrupt, rude, or even be considered by others as you cussing. Males and females have different Polite Particles used after every sentence.

'''Polite Particles:'''
*Male Speaker’s Polite Particle = Ruu Sai
*Female Speaker’s Polite Particle = Len Sai
*Formal Speaker’s Polite Particle = Sai

Individuals who identify as Genderless or Gender Fluid would use the more formal “Sai” ; omitting Ruu or Len completely. In formal occasions such as speaking to one’s boss, or teacher, you would use “Sai” ; omitting the Ruu or Len as well. Polite Particles can be omitted when speaking to those you feel as your peers, friends, and family, but be careful. If you feel you can be casual with your teacher, and omit the polite particle when speaking with your teacher because you feel close to him or her, your teacher may not feel the same way, and may feel as if you were being rude, disrespectful, and low class. A safe bet when speaking to those outside your circle of close friends and siblings around the same age, is always use a Polite Particle. Age plays a large factor in the Polite Particle usage. If the person you are speaking to is older than you or of a higher rank, it’s safe to bet you will use the Formal Polite Particle.

Before we see some examples of Polite Particles in use, let’s discuss possessive forms like “My cat,” “Her Sword,” and “Their Eel Pie.” You take the pronoun and add the Miqo’te River Dialect word “ ‘ma” directly to the end of the word (apostrophe and all) to form the River versions of Mine, My, Yours, Your, Theirs, Their, Ours, Our, Hers and His.

'''Possessive Form = ‘ma'''

*Mine / My (m) = Pao'ma
*Mine / My (f) = Lai'ma
*Mine / My (gl) = Yhin’ma
*Yours / Your (m subject) = T’nao’ma
*Yours / Your (f subject / plural you) = T’kai’ma
*Yours / Your (gl subject) = T’ghin’ma
*His = Hen'ma
*Hers / Her = Shen'ma
*(GL 3rd Person Possessive) / Its = Yem’ma
*Ours / Our = Jinh'ma
*Theirs / Their = Funh'ma

With the use of Proper Nouns such as a name of a person, place, or thing, you would follow the same rule, and place " 'ma " at the end of the Proper Noun.

For example, the sentence "Pimrhi’s baby is adorable!" would be translated into: "Pimrhi’ma b'ahmib'yhamin isahs ahmid’tor’ahmibl’te!”

Let’s talk about Reflexive Pronouns. Now here is the tricky part that combines a few rules so you’ll have to think about the word carefully. Words like Myself, Yourself, Yourselves, Ourselves, Themselves, Himself, Herself and Itself will combine many rules from the River DIalect. Not only do you have to think of the proper pronoun, but also the gender, the subject, and the possessiveness. Here is what each word would look like.

'''Reflexive Pronouns'''
*Myself (M speaker) = Pao’mas’telf
*Myself (F speaker) = Lai’mas’telf
*Myself (GL speaker) = Yhin’mas’telf
*Yourself (M subject) = T’nao’mas’telf
*Yourself (F subject) = T’kai’mas’telf
*Yourself (GL subject) = T’ghin’mas’telf
*Yourselves (Plural subject) = T’kai’mas’telv’tes
*Ourselves = Jinh’mas’telv’tes
*Themselves = Funh’mas’telv’tes
*Himself = Hen’mas’telf
*Herself = Shen’mas’telf
*(GL 3rd Person Reflexive) / Itself = Yem‘mas‘telf

Now let’s see some examples now of Polite particles, and more Possessive forms.

*''That is my hat (M speaker)'' = Th’ahmit isahs pao’ma h’ahmit, ruu sai.

*''My hat is on your head (GL speaker to F subject)'' = Yem’ma h’ahmit isahs ton t’kai’ma h’te’ahmid, sai.

*''This hat is mine. It is not yours. (F speaker to GL subject)'' = Th’isahs h’ahmit isahs lai’ma. Yem isahs n’tot t’ghin’ma, len sai.

*''The hat belongs to them. It is theirs (Formal speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit b’tel’tongs t’to th’tem. Yem isahs funh’ma, sai

*''The Hat’s button fell off (F speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit’ma b’uhnatt’ton f’tell toff, len sai.

*''Aran’sae’s mother's hat is better. It tastes great. (M speaker)'' = Aran’sae’ma m’toth’ter’ma h’ahmit isahs b’tett’ter, ruu sai. Yem t’ahmist’tes gr’te’ahmit, ruu sai.

The apostrophe is used a lot in this language to denote a small breath, or an intake of air. It’s a very calm language so you will see the apostrophe used a lot. However, it is never used in the sense of contracting words. Contractions are vacant from the language completely. Words are never shortened. “Does not” never becomes “Doesn’t.” “Cannot” never becomes “Can’t.” “Let us” never becomes “Let’s.” Etc. You will also never see the Apostrophe used as a diacritic mark. Now let’s used everything we’ve learned so far about the River Miqo’te Dialect!

*''I love my sandwich! (m speaker)'' = Pao l’tov’te pao’ma s’ahmindw’isahch, ruu sai!

*''She hates her dress. (f speaker)'' = Shen h’ahmit’tes shen’ma dr’tess, len sai.

*''I ate three slices of Mother Miounne’s eel pie, hehehe! (f speaker)'' = Lai ahmit’te thr’te’te sl’isahsc’tes of M’toth’ter Miounne’ma eel pie, len sai, hehehe!

*''You are running away from it. (gl speaker to m)'' = T’nao ahmir’te r’uhnann’isahng ahmiw’ahmi’yhamin fr’tom yem, sai.

*''Their party is cool (m speaker)'' = Funh’ma p’ahmirt’yhamin isahs c’to’tol, ruu sai.

*''Our Free Company owns me! (F speaker)'' = Jinh’ma Free Company towns lai!

*''Its head hurts (f speaker)'' = Yem’ma h’te’ahmid h’uhnarts, len sai.

*''I have a wedgie. It hurts. (gl speaker)'' = Yhin h’ahmiv’te ahmi w’tedg’isah’te, sai. Yem h’uhnarts, sai.

*''What is your name? (f speaker to m)'' = Wh’ahmit isahs t’nao’ma n’ahmim’te, len sai?

*''Can I help you? (gl speaker to Group)'' = C’ahmin Yhin h’telp t’kai, sai?

*''They can help themselves to some roasted Dodo from Thanalan. (m speak)'' = Funh c’ahmi h’telp funh’mas’telv’tes t’to s’tom’te r’to’ahmist’ted Dodo fr’tom Thanalan, ruu sai.

*''I want to go to Gridania in a subligar! (m speak)'' = Pao w’ahmint t’to g’to t’to Gridania isahn ahmi subligar!

*''Where can we rendezvous? Vesper Bay?(gl speak)'' = Wh’ter’te c’ahmin jinh rendezvous, sai? Vesper Bay, sai?

*''Go by yourself, bitch! (f speak to f )''= G’to b’yhamin t’kai’mas’telf, b’isahtch!

*''I think you are so ugly! (f to plural subject)''= Lai th’isahnk t’kai ahmir’te s’to uhnagl’yhamin!

*''Kill them!'' = K’isahll funh!

*''Thank you (gl speak to f)'' = Th’ahmink t’kai, sai.

*''You are welcome (f speak to gl)'' = T’ghin ahmir’te w’telc’tom’te, len sai.''

As you can see, the word Dodo and Eel Pie are not translated into the Miqo’te River Dialect. Names for food, countries, places, cities, and people’s names in general are left alone since they are taken from other languages. Gridania, Thanalan, Gold Saucer, Vesper Bay, C’sansha, Naoh’ra and other proper nouns would all remain untouched. Words take from other languages are also not switched into River Dialect, such as: Costa del Sol, La Noscea, Château, Java, and rendezvous. You may also have noticed a few ruder or meaner sentences lack the polite particle in order to increase the intensity of the rude or excited sentence.

Now that we’ve gone over how to form this language, let’s return to the subject about words you will never ever see in the language. The letters of English Pronouns will never be ciphered into River Dialect. The word “it” will never be ciphered since “Yem“ is used. Names of people, places, things, and any other Proper Noun will not be ciphered. The Apostrophe mark will never be used to denote possessiveness of a subject, in a contraction, or used as a diacritic mark. Let’s see some examples of what you will never see. If you use these words or phrases, people who speak the River Miqo’te Dialect fluently will know you are still a beginner.

==Miqo’te River Dialect: Advanced Level==
'''Slang, Culture differences, and River Dialect Alphabet'''

Welcome to the Advanced level of the River Dialect. This section is for those of you who feel comfortable enough to start using slang or want to know more about the written language of the River Miqo’tes.
Like all languages, there is a formal way to speak and a casual way of speaking that involves slang. Normally younger people or people who are of a more casual lifestyle like artists, hospitality industry workers, and laborers use River slang. Teenagers are renowned for their usage of slang so when speaking to a young Miqo’te who speaks River Dialect, expect to see a lot of these new, “hip” language rules.

'''Slang Pronoun Cipher:'''
* I / me (male speaker) = Po
* I / me (female speaker) = La
* I / me (genderless speaker) = Yhi
* You (male subject) = Tana
* You (female subject) = Taka
* You (genderless subject) = Taga
* He / Him= He’en
* She / Her = She’en
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’en
* We / Us= Ji
* They / Them= Fu

As you can see the first person versions of Pao and Lai are shortened to Po and La. Miqo’te teenagers who speak RIver Dialect, and casual speakers use a more abrupt tone when referring to themselves. The same rule applies to the word “You” in both gender forms. “T’nao” turns into “Tana” and “T’kai” turns into just “Taka.“ “T’ghin” turns into “Taga.” Teenagers who use these altered forms normally speaker faster, and often leave out the polite particle since they perceive everything as being casual with no regard to age differences. This causes a lot of arguments in households where the children speak to their elders with slang. You can also use this slang version to sound ruder. Gangsters, tough individuals, and criminals will often use this type of language rule as well. School children get punished for using this type of language with their teachers.

Possessiveness also changes when using River slang. The normal way to denote possessiveness is to add “ ‘ma” to the pronoun or subject. However, in River slang, the apostrophe and the letter “A” is dropped. What is left is just the “M” which is placed at the end of the pronoun or subject as part of the word. However, for second and third person forms, the “M” will replace the “N” at the end of the word. This is seen as being “Cooler” sounding, similar to how English speaking teenagers will replace the “S” for a “Z” in words such as foodz, toyz, and lawlz for fun.

'''Slang Possessive Form'''
* Mine / My (m) = Pom
* Mine / My (f) = Lam
* Mine / my (gl) = Yhim
* Yours / Your (m subject) = Tanam
* Yours / Your (f subject) = Takam
* Yours / Your (gl subject) = Tagam
* His / its = He’em
* Hers = She’em
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’em
* Ours / Our = Jim
* Theirs / Their = Fum

These new slang version also affect Reflexive forms. Let’s take a look.

* Myself (M speaker) = Poms’telf
* Myself (F speaker) = Lams’telf
* Myself (GL speaker) = Yhims’telf
* Yourself (M subject) = Tanams’telf
* Yourself / Yourselves (F subject / Plural You) = Takams’telf / Takams’telv’tes
* Yourself (GL subject) = Tagams’telf
* Ourselves = Jims’telv’tes
* Themselves = Fums’telv’tes
* Himself = He’ems’emaolf
* Herself = She’ems’emaolf
* Itself = Ye’ems‘emaolf

And those are the differences in the slang, casual version of the River Miqo’te Language. Remember, you will be considered a bit ruder when using this form due to the abruptness of the language, and also for the lack of Polite Particles.

<big>'''Language Culture'''</big>

Languages have a culture in of itself. With such a wide range of Seekers of the Sun, Keepers of the Moon, and other races who’ve learned the River DIalect, there are certain things that have to be mentioned in order to understand the whole language beyond the basics. Culture plays a huge factor in a way someone speaks, and with such a heavily gender focused language, we should talk about how some people feel towards gender. In this cast, gay men, lesbian women, transgender, or Gender fluid. In a similar way as some English speakers refer to each other or themselves by the identifying gender, River Dialect does the same.

A gay Miqo’te man referring to himself as “Lai” is not uncommon to hear. He would also not mind if being referred to as “Shen“ or “T’kai.” In the same sense, you may find him speaking to you with the feminine Polite Particle. By using the female forms of pronouns and using the female Polite Particle, he is feminizing himself, and is clearly open about his sexuality. More masculine gay men tend not to use the female forms when speaking. Some Gay men interchange their pronouns and polite particles often; depending on the group he is socializing with. On the other side of the same coin, Lesbian women who wish to masculinize themselves will use “Pao” when speaking about themselves, and would not mind being referred to as “Hen” or “T’nao.” A lesbian Miqo’te woman may also use the Polite Partle “Ruu sai,” however, this is less common than gay men using the Polite Particle “Len sai.” Females are the dominant gender in most Miqo’te populations, and often will take pride in that.

If you are speaking to a gay teenager who uses the slang versions of words, you may hear him or her use the opposite gender forms of the slang versions. If an individual identifies as Gender FLuid, they may continue to use gender neutral conjugations, or use all of them. Gender plays such a big part in the River language that a masculine man using the female forms is seen as humorous. River Dialect speaking drag queens take advantage of this humor by using the female forms in a high pitch voice, and then suddenly switching into a low tone and using masculine slang.

The last thing we will talk about is the impolite particle, or in other words, how to cuss in River Dialect. It is very simple to cuss in this language because all you have to do is end your sentence or word with the particle “Waa loi” and it will come off as insulting. The word “Waa loi” in ancient days was used to curse other‘s health, and fortune, and to wish them death. This superstition dates back farther than the River Dialect’s written word. To this day, the word “Waa loi” can be used by itself as a general cuss word, as a sentence ender to denote hatred, and basically, a way to have people not like you. Placing “Waa loi” at the end of your sentence when speaking with someone means you consider them your enemy, similar to if an English speaker referred to someone as a worthless bitch while talking to them. Sibling rivals are known to use “waa loi” when speaking to each other. In jest or in seriousness, others hearing this would look down at the language in public places.

'''Pimrhi Dia''' (PIM-REE DEE-UH), was once a kind and powerful Seer connected to the Echo, however, after the Calamity when she lost her husband and two children, her mind shattered. She is now a frail, and weakened woman who has started to practice dark void magic as a way to harness her grief. It's caused her to develop masochistic, and sadistic tendencies and a certain affinity for things related to death. Mixed with her mental instability and clairvoyance, her dark arts have made her an unpredictable ally/enemy to many. Pimrhi Dia is a character on the Balmung Server.

==The Character==

The first thing most people notice about the Seer, Pimrhi, is her thin, frail frame. Not even her ragged, tatter black robes can hide how emaciated she looks. She is malnourished, and looks to be very weak almost to the point of collapse. Her breath is always short and strained as if she were having trouble getting enough air. She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

The second thing most observers notice about this woman is her severe mental instability. She constantly seems lost in her own world in which she comments on regularly in a childlike manner. Being a Seer connected to the Echo, she has the gift of passively viewing possible outcomes of the future. These visions mixed with her delusions and insanity often times confuses those around her when she speaks. She frequently talks in riddles, and rhymes of the things she sees. Pimrhi has a particular fondness for liars, murderers, and thieves. She often makes comparisons between secrets, pain, and death to sweet tastes, warm feelings, or pleasant music. Many people find her unnerving not due to her power, but to her complete lack of remorse, and enjoyment of causing pain.

==Pre-Calamity History==

Pimrhi was one of the oldest children of Aran Dia and Ehtni'a Spihran, and older sister to [[Aran'sae Dia]]. Pimrhi had a very nice childhood. With so many children in her family, she grew to be very reliant on social interactions, but with a splash of independence. After all, with so many siblings, one had to learn very quickly to hold your own. She often cared for her younger siblings when her parents were not present. She felt very close to her brothers and sisters even when some of them moved away to pursue their own lives; such as her youngest brother Aran'sae who eventually became a Hearer. Some time after this, Pimrhi discovered she too possessed a gift. Clairvoyance. It was this ability that allowed her to see her future. She would become a great healer one day. Pimrhi had always been the type to care for others, and quickly embraced her gifts as a Seer in order to help others. This lead her to pursue a medical path in life. With plans to become a Physicker with a major in herbal remedies, she left home to live on her own. While finding her own life, and learning about medicine, she met a very smart, and charming Keeper Miqo'te named Gadaht'a who was training to be an Arcanist. He found her passion for medicine, and her special ability of the Echo, to be fascinating. The two fell in love quickly and married; eventually they had a son. Two years later, Pimrhi was expecting another son on the way.

Then came the Calamity. While 7 months pregnant with her second son, and trying to protect her older son and husband, the skies were lit with fire and came crashing down on their village. The town quickly started to evacuate to safer areas away from the fires that now erupted all around the forest. Gadaht'a tried to get his wife to safety, but perished in the flames. This was the first crack to her psyche. With all the smoke and ash in the air, Pimrhi couldn't see. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think past the grief of losing her husband. The young woman tried to make her way through the burning forest with the rest of the evacuees, but succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed out with her 2 year old son in her arms as the fires crept towards them. She woke up hours later from the pain all around her body. She was covered in burns, and was severely injured. A healer in the group of evacuees who pulled Pimrhi to safety, tried to mend her and her child's wounds, but he could not save the 2 year old boy. Pimrhi's baby died in his mother's arms. This broke her already distressed mental state. With only her and her unborn son left alive, she pulled herself to her feet with the help of the other villagers, and made their continued escape from the chaos. Days later, through the stress, injuries, and physical burden, she miscarried. What was left of her already damaged mind was swept away. Pimrhi fled from the villagers who were trying to care for her; taking the bodies of her two dead children with her. Her whereabouts after that went unknown and many assumed her dead.

==Post-Calamity==

Five years after the Calamity, late at night in Drybone Cemetery of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, a Roegadyn man named [[Mhastoum Greinsyn ]] happen to wander off after a funeral he had attended. Mhastoum strolled into an unkempt area of the cemetery where he was confronted by a dark figure. (WIP)

==Miqo’te “River Dialect”==

((OOC Note: Not much is known in-game about the Miqo’te Language besides it being very old. So, I invented my own Dialect of the Miqo’te Language. My version of the Language takes notes from Thai, Japanese, Latin and English. I’ve created it to sound similar to the Miqo’te Naming conventions as much as possible.

Both Keepers of the Moon and Seekers of the Sun may know this River Dialect. The Dialect is not specific to a race, but to a geographic region. Miqo’te who grew up near a River are more likely to speak this dialect, but it’s not required. Some characters outside the Miqo’te culture such as Hyurs, Elezens, Ixals, etc, may know the basics of the language as well. Your character is free to learn this language if you like and if you think it fits your character’s story. Just please don’t alter or steal this work as your own.))

<big>'''River Language Lessons'''</big>

The first thing you need to learn is that this language is based off the English language’s vowels. In other words, River Dialect is partly a vowel substitution language. It is similar to a cipher, except that the only thing changed out are the vowels. What I mean by “partly a vowel substitution language,“ is there is another part of the language involving real conjugation of words based on pronouns, and possessiveness. Let’s begin with the six vowel substitutions before we explain the Pronouns.

'''Vowel Cipher:'''
*A = ‘ahmi
*E = ‘te
*I = ‘isah
*O= ‘to
*U= ‘unha
*Y= ‘yhamin

By substituting vowels with these phrases, including the apostrophe (Unless it‘s the first letter of the word), into English words, you will develop a whole new word that sounds like it came from a whole different language. Let’s see some examples, shall we?

*School = Sch’to’tol
*Village = V’isahll’ahmig’te
*Work = W’tork
*Tavern = T’ahmiv’tern

*Family = F’ahmim’isahl’yhamin
*Children = Ch’isahldr’ten
*Friend = Fr’isah’tend
*Stranger = Str’ahming’ter

*Apple = Ahmippl’te
*Tomato = T’tom’ahmit’to
*Pumpkin = P’uhnampk’isahn
*Lettuce = L’tett’uhnac’te

*North = N’torth
*South = S’to’uhnath
*East = Te’ahmist
*West = W’test

*Tunic = T’uhnan’isahc
*Armour = Ahmirm’to’uhnar
*Dress = Dr’tess
*Robe = R’tob’te

*Inside = Isahns’isahd’te
*Above = Ahmib’tov’te
*Through = Thr’to’uhnagh
*On top =Ton t’top

*Happy = H’ahmipp’yhamin
*Sad = S’ahmid
*Angry = Ahmingr’yhamin
*Frightened = Fr’isahght’ten’ted

*Cipher = C’isahph’ter
*Puzzle = P’uhnazzl’te
*Teaser = T’te’ahmis’ter
*Riddle= R’isahddl’te

*Meat = M’te’ahmit
*Fur = F’uhnar
*Horn = H’torn
*Tail = T’ahmi’isahl

*Void = V’to’isahd
*Moon = M’to’ton
*Sun = S’uhnan
*Sky = Sk’yhamin

*Fight = F’isahght
*Injury = Isahnj’uhnar’yhamin
*Healing = H’te’ahmil’isahng
*Magic = M’ahmig’isahc

*Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = S’uhnap’terc’ahmil’isahfr’ahmig’isahl’isahst’isahc’texp’isah’ahmil’isahd’toc’isah’to’uhnas

Did you catch onto the basics of Miqo’te River Dialect by looking over the examples? Now that we’ve covered all the vowel substitutions, let’s get on with the pronouns used in the language. The Language is heavily based on culture, and respect. If you’ve noticed, River Miqo’te Dialect has a sort of Asian feel to it, and like an Asian language the language is conjugated differently depending on the gender of the speaker. The following words do not follow the Vowel Substitution rules, and instead, the entire word is substituted out for its River Dialect counterpart.

'''Pronoun Cipher:'''
*I / me (male speaker) = Pao
*I / me (female speaker) = Lai
*I / me (genderless) = Yhin
*You (male subject) = T’nao
*You (female subject) / You all (plural 2nd Person) = T’kai
*You (genderless) = T’ghin
*He / Him = Hen
*She / Her = Shen
*Genderless 3rd Person / It = Yem
*We / Us= Jinh
*They / Them= Funh

As you can see, if you are a male you will refer to yourself as “Pao“. If you are Female you will refer to yourself as “Lai.” If the 1st Person speaker is Genderless, they would use “Yhin.” If you are speaking directly to a male you refer to that person as “T’nao“. If you are directly speaking to a female you refer to her as “T’ghin“. If you are speaking to a male, you refer to him as “Hen“. If you are speaking to an identifying female, you use “Shen“. If you are speaking to a person, creature, or entity whose gender is unknown or fluid, you would refer to that person as Yem. Remember, just like in real life, using the wrong gender pronoun can be seen as insulting.

As you can see, the language is very gender focused. For a subject of unknown gender or for an inanimate object, River Dialect uses the all encompassing “Yem.” Yem would be used with things in nature such as tree spirits, river spirits, rock golems, forests, meadows, stars, and the sky. “Yem” can also be used for objects like a cup, a house, an idea, a feeling, and concepts, etc. So “It” would become “Yem” in all cases where “It” is used. When speaking to a "you" of unknown gender, or a group of genderless entities, use the Genderless form “T’ghin“ as well. “T’kai” can be used when speaking of a plural “You” of females, however if there is one male present in the group of females, you would still use “T’kai.” Even if there is one female in a group of hundreds of males, the word “T’kai” would still be used when speaking to them as a group. “T’kai” is the standard “You all,” the 2nd Person Plural. It is considered polite. It could be called sexist by our standards, but real languages that are gender focused follow this rule as well, so for the sake of an authentic and cultural feel, we will follow this rule too. After all, females in the Miqo’te culture are more dominant gender.

Let’s see some examples with using the word “Love” which in River Dialect turns into “L’tov’te.”

*I love you (M to F) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to GL) = Pao l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (F to M) = Lai l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to GL) = Lai l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (GL to M) = Yhin l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (GL to F) = Yhin l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to M) = Pao l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to F) = Lai l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (GL to GL) = Yhin l’tov’te t’ghin.

*You (M subject) love him = T’nao l’tov’te hen.
*You (F subject) love him = T’kai l’tov’te hen.
*You (GL subject) love him = T’ghin l’tov’te hen.
*You (M subject) love her = T’nao l’tov’te shen.
*You (F subject) love her = T’kai l’tov’te shen.
*You (GL subject) love her = T’ghin l’tov’te shen.
*You (M subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’nao l’tov’te yem.
*You (F subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’kai l’tov’te yem.
*You (GL subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’ghin l’tov’te yem

*We love them = Jinh l’tov’te funh.
*They love us = Funh l’tov’te jinh.
*We love us = Jinh l’tov’te jinh.
*They love them = Funh l’tov’te funh.

*He loves you (M subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’nao.
*He loves you (F subject) = Henl’tov’te t’kai.
*He loves you (GL subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*She loves you (M subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’nao.
*She loves you (F subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai.
*She loves you (GL subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (M subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’nao.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (F subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’kai.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (GL subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’ghin.

*I love you (M to plural subject) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai
*She loves you (F subject to plural subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai
*You love you (Plural subject to plural subject) = T’kai l’tov’te t’kai

As well as being a heavily gender focused language, the language is also focused on respect with the use of a Polite Particle at the end of the sentence. A Polite Particle is a word said at the end of the sentence to denote calmness, and thoughtfulness. In other words, by omitting the Polite Particle, your sentence will come off as abrupt, rude, or even be considered by others as you cussing. Males and females have different Polite Particles used after every sentence.

'''Polite Particles:'''
*Male Speaker’s Polite Particle = Ruu Sai
*Female Speaker’s Polite Particle = Len Sai
*Formal Speaker’s Polite Particle = Sai

Individuals who identify as Genderless or Gender Fluid would use the more formal “Sai” ; omitting Ruu or Len completely. In formal occasions such as speaking to one’s boss, or teacher, you would use “Sai” ; omitting the Ruu or Len as well. Polite Particles can be omitted when speaking to those you feel as your peers, friends, and family, but be careful. If you feel you can be casual with your teacher, and omit the polite particle when speaking with your teacher because you feel close to him or her, your teacher may not feel the same way, and may feel as if you were being rude, disrespectful, and low class. A safe bet when speaking to those outside your circle of close friends and siblings around the same age, is always use a Polite Particle. Age plays a large factor in the Polite Particle usage. If the person you are speaking to is older than you or of a higher rank, it’s safe to bet you will use the Formal Polite Particle.

Before we see some examples of Polite Particles in use, let’s discuss possessive forms like “My cat,” “Her Sword,” and “Their Eel Pie.” You take the pronoun and add the Miqo’te River Dialect word “ ‘ma” directly to the end of the word (apostrophe and all) to form the River versions of Mine, My, Yours, Your, Theirs, Their, Ours, Our, Hers and His.

'''Possessive Form = ‘ma'''

*Mine / My (m) = Pao'ma
*Mine / My (f) = Lai'ma
*Mine / My (gl) = Yhin’ma
*Yours / Your (m subject) = T’nao’ma
*Yours / Your (f subject / plural you) = T’kai’ma
*Yours / Your (gl subject) = T’ghin’ma
*His = Hen'ma
*Hers / Her = Shen'ma
*(GL 3rd Person Possessive) / Its = Yem’ma
*Ours / Our = Jinh'ma
*Theirs / Their = Funh'ma

With the use of Proper Nouns such as a name of a person, place, or thing, you would follow the same rule, and place " 'ma " at the end of the Proper Noun.

For example, the sentence "Pimrhi’s baby is adorable!" would be translated into: "Pimrhi’ma isahs ahmid’tor’ahmibl’te!”

Let’s talk about Reflexive Pronouns. Now here is the tricky part that combines a few rules so you’ll have to think about the word carefully. Words like Myself, Yourself, Yourselves, Ourselves, Themselves, Himself, Herself and Itself will combine many rules from the River DIalect. Not only do you have to think of the proper pronoun, but also the gender, the subject, and the possessiveness. Here is what each word would look like.

'''Reflexive Pronouns'''
*Myself (M speaker) = Pao’mas’telf
*Myself (F speaker) = Lai’mas’telf
*Myself (GL speaker) = Yhin’mas’telf
*Yourself (M subject) = T’nao’mas’telf
*Yourself (F subject) = T’kai’mas’telf
*Yourself (GL subject) = T’ghin’mas’telf
*Yourselves (Plural subject) = T’kai’mas’telv’tes
*Ourselves = Jinh’mas’telv’tes
*Themselves = Funh’mas’telv’tes
*Himself = Hen’mas’telf
*Herself = Shen’mas’telf
*(GL 3rd Person Reflexive) / Itself = Yem‘mas‘telf

Now let’s see some examples now of Polite particles, and more Possessive forms.

*''That is my hat (M speaker)'' = Th’ahmit isahs pao’ma h’ahmit, ruu sai.

*''My hat is on your head (GL speaker to F subject)'' = Yem’ma h’ahmit isahs ton t’kai’ma h’te’ahmid, sai.

*''This hat is mine. It is not yours. (F speaker to GL subject)'' = Th’isahs h’ahmit isahs lai’ma. Yem isahs n’tot t’ghin’ma, len sai.

*''The hat belongs to them. It is theirs (Formal speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit b’tel’tongs t’to th’tem. Yem isahs funh’ma, sai

*''The Hat’s button fell off (F speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit’ma b’uhnatt’ton f’tell toff, len sai.

*''Aran’sae’s mother's hat is better. It tastes great. (M speaker)'' = Aran’sae’ma m’toth’ter’ma h’ahmit isahs b’tett’ter, ruu sai. Yem t’ahmist’tes gr’te’ahmit, ruu sai.

The apostrophe is used a lot in this language to denote a small breath, or an intake of air. It’s a very calm language so you will see the apostrophe used a lot. However, it is never used in the sense of contracting words. Contractions are vacant from the language completely. Words are never shortened. “Does not” never becomes “Doesn’t.” “Cannot” never becomes “Can’t.” “Let us” never becomes “Let’s.” Etc. You will also never see the Apostrophe used as a diacritic mark. Now let’s used everything we’ve learned so far about the River Miqo’te Dialect!

*''I love my sandwich! (m speaker)'' = Pao l’tov’te pao’ma s’ahmindw’isahch, ruu sai!

*''She hates her dress. (f speaker)'' = Shen h’ahmit’tes shen’ma dr’tess, len sai.

*''Your feet are smelly. (gl speaker to f)'' = t’kai’ma f’te’tet ahmir’te sm’tell’yhamin, sai.

*''Vana’to’s coeurl is two years old. (f speaker)'' = Vana’to’ma coeurl isahs tw’to y’te’ahmirs told, len sai.

*''The Wood Wailer’s wife has a new sword. (m speaker)'' = Th’te W’to’tod W’ahmi’isahl’ter’ma w’isahf’te h’ahmis ahmi n’tew sw’tord, ruu sai.

*''I ate three slices of Mother Miounne’s eel pie, hehehe! (f speaker)'' = Lai ahmit’te thr’te’te sl’isahsc’tes of M’toth’ter Miounne’ma eel pie, len sai, hehehe!

*''You are running away from it. (gl speaker to m)'' = T’nao ahmir’te r’uhnann’isahng ahmiw’ahmi’yhamin fr’tom yem, sai.

*''Their party is cool (m speaker)'' = Funh’ma p’ahmirt’yhamin isahs c’to’tol, ruu sai.

*''Our Free Company owns me! (F speaker)'' = Jinh’ma Free Company towns lai!

*''Naoh’ra’s trousers are warm (m speaker)'' = Naoh’ra’ma tr’to’uhnas’ters ahmir’te w’ahmirm, ruu sai.

*''Its head hurts (f speaker)'' = Yem’ma h’te’ahmid h’uhnarts, len sai.

*''I have a wedgie. It hurts. (gl speaker)'' = Yhin h’ahmiv’te ahmi w’tedg’isah’te, sai. Yem h’uhnarts, sai.

*''What is your name? (f speaker to m)'' = Wh’ahmit isahs t’nao’ma n’ahmim’te, len sai?

*''My name is C’sansha (m speaker to f)'' = Pao’ma n’ahmim’te isahs C’sansha, ruu sai.

*''How are you? (gl speaker to gl)'' = H’tow ahmir’te t’ghin, sai?

*''I am sleepy. Can we go to bed? (f speaker)'' = Lai ahmi sl’te’tep’yhamin, len sai. C’ahmin jinh g’to t’to b’ted, len sai?

*''Can I help you? (gl speaker to Group)'' = C’ahmin Yhin h’telp t’kai, sai?

*''They can help themselves to some roasted Dodo from Thanalan. (m speak)'' = Funh c’ahmi h’telp funh’mas’telv’tes t’to s’tom’te r’to’ahmist’ted Dodo fr’tom Thanalan, ruu sai.

*''I want to go to Gridania in a subligar! (m speak)'' = Pao w’ahmint t’to g’to t’to Gridania isahn ahmi subligar!

*''Where can we rendezvous? Vesper Bay?(gl speak)'' = Wh’ter’te c’ahmin jinh rendezvous, sai? Vesper Bay, sai?

*''Go by yourself, bitch! (f speak to f )''= G’to b’yhamin t’kai’mas’telf, b’isahtch!

*''I think you are so ugly! (f to plural subject)''= Lai th’isahnk t’kai ahmir’te s’to uhnagl’yhamin!

*''Kill them!'' = K’isahll funh!

*''It is over!'' = Yem isahs tov’ter!

*''I do not ever want to see you again (m to m)'' = Pao d’to n’tot tev’ter w’ahmint t’to s’te’te t’nao ahmig’ahmi’isahn.

*''I like you (f speak to gl)'' = Lai l’isahk’te yhin, len sai.

*''Thank you (gl speak to f)'' = Th’ahmink t’kai, sai.

*''You are welcome (f speak to gl)'' = T’ghin ahmir’te w’telc’tom’te, len sai.''

As you can see, the word Dodo and Eel Pie are not translated into the Miqo’te River Dialect. Names for food, countries, places, cities, and people’s names in general are left alone since they are taken from other languages. Gridania, Thanalan, Gold Saucer, Vesper Bay, C’sansha, Naoh’ra and other proper nouns would all remain untouched. Words take from other languages are also not switched into River Dialect, such as: Costa del Sol, La Noscea, Château, Java, and rendezvous. You may also have noticed a few ruder or meaner sentences lack the polite particle in order to increase the intensity of the rude or excited sentence.

Now that we’ve gone over how to form this language, let’s return to the subject about words you will never ever see in the language. The letters of English Pronouns will never be ciphered into River Dialect. The word “it” will never be ciphered since “Yem“ is used. Names of people, places, things, and any other Proper Noun will not be ciphered. The Apostrophe mark will never be used to denote possessiveness of a subject, in a contraction, or used as a diacritic mark. Let’s see some examples of what you will never see. If you use these words or phrases, people who speak the River Miqo’te Dialect fluently will know you are still a beginner.

==River Language No-No’s and common Errors==

==Miqo’te River Dialect: Advanced Level==
'''Slang, Culture differences, and River Dialect Alphabet'''

Welcome to the Advanced level of the River Dialect. This section is for those of you who feel comfortable enough to start using slang or want to know more about the written language of the River Miqo’tes.
Like all languages, there is a formal way to speak and a casual way of speaking that involves slang. Normally younger people or people who are of a more casual lifestyle like artists, hospitality industry workers, and laborers use River slang. Teenagers are renowned for their usage of slang so when speaking to a young Miqo’te who speaks River Dialect, expect to see a lot of these new, “hip” language rules.

'''Slang Pronoun Cipher:'''
* I / me (male speaker) = Po
* I / me (female speaker) = La
* I / me (genderless speaker) = Yhi
* You (male subject) = Tana
* You (female subject) = Taka
* You (genderless subject) = Taga
* He / Him= He’en
* She / Her = She’en
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’en
* We / Us= Ji
* They / Them= Fu

As you can see the first person versions of Pao and Lai are shortened to Po and La. Miqo’te teenagers who speak RIver Dialect, and casual speakers use a more abrupt tone when referring to themselves. The same rule applies to the word “You” in both gender forms. “T’nao” turns into “Tana” and “T’kai” turns into just “Taka.“ “T’ghin” turns into “Taga.” Teenagers who use these altered forms normally speaker faster, and often leave out the polite particle since they perceive everything as being casual with no regard to age differences. This causes a lot of arguments in households where the children speak to their elders with slang. You can also use this slang version to sound ruder. Gangsters, tough individuals, and criminals will often use this type of language rule as well. School children get punished for using this type of language with their teachers.

Possessiveness also changes when using River slang. The normal way to denote possessiveness is to add “ ‘ma” to the pronoun or subject. However, in River slang, the apostrophe and the letter “A” is dropped. What is left is just the “M” which is placed at the end of the pronoun or subject as part of the word. However, for second and third person forms, the “M” will replace the “N” at the end of the word. This is seen as being “Cooler” sounding, similar to how English speaking teenagers will replace the “S” for a “Z” in words such as foodz, toyz, and lawlz for fun.

'''Slang Possessive Form'''
* Mine / My (m) = Pom
* Mine / My (f) = Lam
* Mine / my (gl) = Yhim
* Yours / Your (m subject) = Tanam
* Yours / Your (f subject) = Takam
* Yours / Your (gl subject) = Tagam
* His / its = He’em
* Hers = She’em
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’em
* Ours / Our = Jim
* Theirs / Their = Fum

These new slang version also affect Reflexive forms. Let’s take a look.

* Myself (M speaker) = Poms’telf
* Myself (F speaker) = Lams’telf
* Myself (GL speaker) = Yhims’telf
* Yourself (M subject) = Tanams’telf
* Yourself / Yourselves (F subject / Plural You) = Takams’telf / Takams’telv’tes
* Yourself (GL subject) = Tagams’telf
* Ourselves = Jims’telv’tes
* Themselves = Fums’telv’tes
* Himself = He’ems’emaolf
* Herself = She’ems’emaolf
* Itself = Ye’ems‘emaolf

And those are the differences in the slang, casual version of the River Miqo’te Language. Remember, you will be considered a bit ruder when using this form due to the abruptness of the language, and also for the lack of Polite Particles.

<big>'''Language Culture'''</big>

Languages have a culture in of itself. With such a wide range of Seekers of the Sun, Keepers of the Moon, and other races who’ve learned the River DIalect, there are certain things that have to be mentioned in order to understand the whole language beyond the basics. Culture plays a huge factor in a way someone speaks, and with such a heavily gender focused language, we should talk about how some people feel towards gender. In this cast, gay men, lesbian women, transgender, or Gender fluid. In a similar way as some English speakers refer to each other or themselves by the identifying gender, River Dialect does the same.

A gay Miqo’te man referring to himself as “Lai” is not uncommon to hear. He would also not mind if being referred to as “Shen“ or “T’kai.” In the same sense, you may find him speaking to you with the feminine Polite Particle. By using the female forms of pronouns and using the female Polite Particle, he is feminizing himself, and is clearly open about his sexuality. More masculine gay men tend not to use the female forms when speaking. Some Gay men interchange their pronouns and polite particles often; depending on the group he is socializing with. On the other side of the same coin, Lesbian women who wish to masculinize themselves will use “Pao” when speaking about themselves, and would not mind being referred to as “Hen” or “T’nao.” A lesbian Miqo’te woman may also use the Polite Partle “Ruu sai,” however, this is less common than gay men using the Polite Particle “Len sai.” Females are the dominant gender in most Miqo’te populations, and often will take pride in that.

If you are speaking to a gay teenager who uses the slang versions of words, you may hear him or her use the opposite gender forms of the slang versions. If an individual identifies as Gender FLuid, they may continue to use gender neutral conjugations, or use all of them. Gender plays such a big part in the River language that a masculine man using the female forms is seen as humorous. River Dialect speaking drag queens take advantage of this humor by using the female forms in a high pitch voice, and then suddenly switching into a low tone and using masculine slang.

The last thing we will talk about is the impolite particle, or in other words, how to cuss in River Dialect. It is very simple to cuss in this language because all you have to do is end your sentence or word with the particle “Waa loi” and it will come off as insulting. The word “Waa loi” in ancient days was used to curse other‘s health, and fortune, and to wish them death. This superstition dates back farther than the River Dialect’s written word. To this day, the word “Waa loi” can be used by itself as a general cuss word, as a sentence ender to denote hatred, and basically, a way to have people not like you. Placing “Waa loi” at the end of your sentence when speaking with someone means you consider them your enemy, similar to if an English speaker referred to someone as a worthless bitch while talking to them. Sibling rivals are known to use “waa loi” when speaking to each other. In jest or in seriousness, others hearing this would look down at the language in public places.

'''Pimrhi Dia''' (PIM-REE DEE-UH), was once a kind and powerful Seer connected to the Echo, however, after the Calamity when she lost her husband and two children, her mind shattered. She is now a frail, and weakened woman who has started to practice dark void magic as a way to harness her grief. It's caused her to develop masochistic, and sadistic tendencies and a certain affinity for things related to death. Mixed with her mental instability and clairvoyance, her dark arts have made her an unpredictable ally/enemy to many. Pimrhi Dia is a character on the Balmung Server.

==The Character==

The first thing most people notice about the Seer, Pimrhi, is her thin, frail frame. Not even her ragged, tatter black robes can hide how emaciated she looks. She is malnourished, and looks to be very weak almost to the point of collapse. Her breath is always short and strained as if she were having trouble getting enough air. She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

The second thing most observers notice about this woman is her severe mental instability. She constantly seems lost in her own world in which she comments on regularly in a childlike manner. Being a Seer connected to the Echo, she has the gift of passively viewing possible outcomes of the future. These visions mixed with her delusions and insanity often times confuses those around her when she speaks. She frequently talks in riddles, and rhymes of the things she sees. Pimrhi has a particular fondness for liars, murderers, and thieves. She often makes comparisons between secrets, pain, and death to sweet tastes, warm feelings, or pleasant music. Many people find her unnerving not due to her power, but to her complete lack of remorse, and enjoyment of causing pain.

==Pre-Calamity History==

Pimrhi was one of the oldest children of Aran Dia and Ehtni'a Spihran, and older sister to [[Aran'sae Dia]]. Pimrhi had a very nice childhood. With so many children in her family, she grew to be very reliant on social interactions, but with a splash of independence. After all, with so many siblings, one had to learn very quickly to hold your own. She often cared for her younger siblings when her parents were not present. She felt very close to her brothers and sisters even when some of them moved away to pursue their own lives; such as her youngest brother Aran'sae who eventually became a Hearer. Some time after this, Pimrhi discovered she too possessed a gift. Clairvoyance. It was this ability that allowed her to see her future. She would become a great healer one day. Pimrhi had always been the type to care for others, and quickly embraced her gifts as a Seer in order to help others. This lead her to pursue a medical path in life. With plans to become a Physicker with a major in herbal remedies, she left home to live on her own. While finding her own life, and learning about medicine, she met a very smart, and charming Keeper Miqo'te named Gadaht'a who was training to be an Arcanist. He found her passion for medicine, and her special ability of the Echo, to be fascinating. The two fell in love quickly and married; eventually they had a son. Two years later, Pimrhi was expecting another son on the way.

Then came the Calamity. While 7 months pregnant with her second son, and trying to protect her older son and husband, the skies were lit with fire and came crashing down on their village. The town quickly started to evacuate to safer areas away from the fires that now erupted all around the forest. Gadaht'a tried to get his wife to safety, but perished in the flames. This was the first crack to her psyche. With all the smoke and ash in the air, Pimrhi couldn't see. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think past the grief of losing her husband. The young woman tried to make her way through the burning forest with the rest of the evacuees, but succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed out with her 2 year old son in her arms as the fires crept towards them. She woke up hours later from the pain all around her body. She was covered in burns, and was severely injured. A healer in the group of evacuees who pulled Pimrhi to safety, tried to mend her and her child's wounds, but he could not save the 2 year old boy. Pimrhi's baby died in his mother's arms. This broke her already distressed mental state. With only her and her unborn son left alive, she pulled herself to her feet with the help of the other villagers, and made their continued escape from the chaos. Days later, through the stress, injuries, and physical burden, she miscarried. What was left of her already damaged mind was swept away. Pimrhi fled from the villagers who were trying to care for her; taking the bodies of her two dead children with her. Her whereabouts after that went unknown and many assumed her dead.

==Post-Calamity==

Five years after the Calamity, late at night in Drybone Cemetery of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, a Roegadyn man named [[Mhastoum Greinsyn ]] happen to wander off after a funeral he had attended. Mhastoum strolled into an unkempt area of the cemetery where he was confronted by a dark figure. (WIP)

==Miqo’te “River Dialect”==

((OOC Note: Not much is known in-game about the Miqo’te Language besides it being very old. So, I invented my own Dialect of the Miqo’te Language. My version of the Language takes notes from Thai, Japanese, Spanish and English. I’ve created it to sound similar to the Miqo’te Naming conventions as much as possible.

Both Keepers of the Moon and Seekers of the Sun may know this River Dialect. The Dialect is not specific to a race, but to a geographic region. Miqo’te who grew up near a River are more likely to speak this dialect, but it’s not required. Some characters outside the Miqo’te culture such as Hyurs, Elezens, Ixals, etc, may know the basics of the language as well. Your character is free to learn this language if you like and if you think it fits your character’s story. Just please don’t alter or steal this work as your own.))

<big>'''River Language Lessons'''</big>

The first thing you need to learn is that this language is based off the English language’s vowels. In other words, River Dialect is partly a vowel substitution language. It is similar to a cipher, except that the only thing changed out are the vowels. What I mean by “partly a vowel substitution language,“ is there is another part of the language involving real conjugation of words based on pronouns, and possessiveness. Let’s begin with the six vowel substitutions before we explain the Pronouns.

'''Vowel Cipher:'''
*A = ‘ahmi
*E = ‘te
*I = ‘isah
*O= ‘to
*U= ‘unha
*Y= ‘yhamin

By substituting vowels with these phrases, including the apostrophe (Unless it‘s the first letter of the word), into English words, you will develop a whole new word that sounds like it came from a whole different language. Let’s see some examples, shall we?

*School = Sch’to’tol
*Village = V’isahll’ahmig’te
*Work = W’tork
*Tavern = T’ahmiv’tern

*Family = F’ahmim’isahl’yhamin
*Children = Ch’isahldr’ten
*Friend = Fr’isah’tend
*Stranger = Str’ahming’ter

*Apple = Ahmippl’te
*Tomato = T’tom’ahmit’to
*Pumpkin = P’uhnampk’isahn
*Lettuce = L’tett’uhnac’te

*North = N’torth
*South = S’to’uhnath
*East = Te’ahmist
*West = W’test

*Tunic = T’uhnan’isahc
*Armour = Ahmirm’to’uhnar
*Dress = Dr’tess
*Robe = R’tob’te

*Inside = Isahns’isahd’te
*Above = Ahmib’tov’te
*Through = Thr’to’uhnagh
*On top =Ton t’top

*Happy = H’ahmipp’yhamin
*Sad = S’ahmid
*Angry = Ahmingr’yhamin
*Frightened = Fr’isahght’ten’ted

*Cipher = C’isahph’ter
*Puzzle = P’uhnazzl’te
*Teaser = T’te’ahmis’ter
*Riddle= R’isahddl’te

*Meat = M’te’ahmit
*Fur = F’uhnar
*Horn = H’torn
*Tail = T’ahmi’isahl

*Void = V’to’isahd
*Moon = M’to’ton
*Sun = S’uhnan
*Sky = Sk’yhamin

*Fight = F’isahght
*Injury = Isahnj’uhnar’yhamin
*Healing = H’te’ahmil’isahng
*Magic = M’ahmig’isahc

*Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = S’uhnap’terc’ahmil’isahfr’ahmig’isahl’isahst’isahc’texp’isah’ahmil’isahd’toc’isah’to’uhnas

Did you catch onto the basics of Miqo’te River Dialect by looking over the examples? Now that we’ve covered all the vowel substitutions, let’s get on with the pronouns used in the language. The Language is heavily based on culture, and respect. If you’ve noticed, River Miqo’te Dialect has a sort of Asian feel to it, and like an Asian language the language is conjugated differently depending on the gender of the speaker. The following words do not follow the Vowel Substitution rules, and instead, the entire word is substituted out for its River Dialect counterpart.

'''Pronoun Cipher:'''
*I / me (male speaker) = Pao
*I / me (female speaker) = Lai
*I / me (genderless) = Yhin
*You (male subject) = T’nao
*You (female subject) / You all (plural 2nd Person) = T’kai
*You (genderless) = T’ghin
*He / Him = Hen
*She / Her = Shen
*Genderless 3rd Person / It = Yem
*We / Us= Jinh
*They / Them= Funh

As you can see, if you are a male you will refer to yourself as “Pao“. If you are Female you will refer to yourself as “Lai.” If the 1st Person speaker is Genderless, they would use “Yhin.” If you are speaking directly to a male you refer to that person as “T’nao“. If you are directly speaking to a female you refer to her as “T’ghin“. If you are speaking to a male, you refer to him as “Hen“. If you are speaking to an identifying female, you use “Shen“. If you are speaking to a person, creature, or entity whose gender is unknown or fluid, you would refer to that person as Yem. Remember, just like in real life, using the wrong gender pronoun can be seen as insulting.

As you can see, the language is very gender focused. For a subject of unknown gender or for an inanimate object, River Dialect uses the all encompassing “Yem.” Yem would be used with things in nature such as tree spirits, river spirits, rock golems, forests, meadows, stars, and the sky. “Yem” can also be used for objects like a cup, a house, an idea, a feeling, and concepts, etc. So “It” would become “Yem” in all cases where “It” is used. When speaking to a "you" of unknown gender, or a group of genderless entities, use the Genderless form “T’ghin“ as well. “T’kai” can be used when speaking of a plural “You” of females, however if there is one male present in the group of females, you would still use “T’kai.” Even if there is one female in a group of hundreds of males, the word “T’kai” would still be used when speaking to them as a group. “T’kai” is the standard “You all,” the 2nd Person Plural. It is considered polite. It could be called sexist by our standards, but real languages that are gender focused follow this rule as well, so for the sake of an authentic and cultural feel, we will follow this rule too. After all, females in the Miqo’te culture are more dominant gender.

Let’s see some examples with using the word “Love” which in River Dialect turns into “L’tov’te.”

*I love you (M to F) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to GL) = Pao l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (F to M) = Lai l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to GL) = Lai l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (GL to M) = Yhin l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (GL to F) = Yhin l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to M) = Pao l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to F) = Lai l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (GL to GL) = Yhin l’tov’te t’ghin.

*You (M subject) love him = T’nao l’tov’te hen.
*You (F subject) love him = T’kai l’tov’te hen.
*You (GL subject) love him = T’ghin l’tov’te hen.
*You (M subject) love her = T’nao l’tov’te shen.
*You (F subject) love her = T’kai l’tov’te shen.
*You (GL subject) love her = T’ghin l’tov’te shen.
*You (M subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’nao l’tov’te yem.
*You (F subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’kai l’tov’te yem.
*You (GL subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’ghin l’tov’te yem

*We love them = Jinh l’tov’te funh.
*They love us = Funh l’tov’te jinh.
*We love us = Jinh l’tov’te jinh.
*They love them = Funh l’tov’te funh.

*He loves you (M subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’nao.
*He loves you (F subject) = Henl’tov’te t’kai.
*He loves you (GL subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*She loves you (M subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’nao.
*She loves you (F subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai.
*She loves you (GL subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (M subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’nao.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (F subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’kai.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (GL subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’ghin.

*I love you (M to plural subject) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai
*She loves you (F subject to plural subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai
*You love you (Plural subject to plural subject) = T’kai l’tov’te t’kai

As well as being a heavily gender focused language, the language is also focused on respect with the use of a Polite Particle at the end of the sentence. A Polite Particle is a word said at the end of the sentence to denote calmness, and thoughtfulness. In other words, by omitting the Polite Particle, your sentence will come off as abrupt, rude, or even be considered by others as you cussing. Males and females have different Polite Particles used after every sentence.

'''Polite Particles:'''
*Male Speaker’s Polite Particle = Ruu Sai
*Female Speaker’s Polite Particle = Len Sai
*Formal Speaker’s Polite Particle = Sai

Individuals who identify as Genderless or Gender Fluid would use the more formal “Sai” ; omitting Ruu or Len completely. In formal occasions such as speaking to one’s boss, or teacher, you would use “Sai” ; omitting the Ruu or Len as well. Polite Particles can be omitted when speaking to those you feel as your peers, friends, and family, but be careful. If you feel you can be casual with your teacher, and omit the polite particle when speaking with your teacher because you feel close to him or her, your teacher may not feel the same way, and may feel as if you were being rude, disrespectful, and low class. A safe bet when speaking to those outside your circle of close friends and siblings around the same age, is always use a Polite Particle. Age plays a large factor in the Polite Particle usage. If the person you are speaking to is older than you or of a higher rank, it’s safe to bet you will use the Formal Polite Particle.

Before we see some examples of Polite Particles in use, let’s discuss possessive forms like “My cat,” “Her Sword,” and “Their Eel Pie.” You take the pronoun and add the Miqo’te River Dialect word “ ‘ma” directly to the end of the word (apostrophe and all) to form the River versions of Mine, My, Yours, Your, Theirs, Their, Ours, Our, Hers and His.

'''Possessive Form = ‘ma'''

*Mine / My (m) = Pao'ma
*Mine / My (f) = Lai'ma
*Mine / My (gl) = Yhin’ma
*Yours / Your (m subject) = T’nao’ma
*Yours / Your (f subject / plural you) = T’kai’ma
*Yours / Your (gl subject) = T’ghin’ma
*His = Hen'ma
*Hers / Her = Shen'ma
*(GL 3rd Person Possessive) / Its = Yem’ma
*Ours / Our = Jinh'ma
*Theirs / Their = Funh'ma

With the use of Proper Nouns such as a name of a person, place, or thing, you would follow the same rule, and place " 'ma " at the end of the Proper Noun.

For example, the sentence "Pimrhi’s baby is adorable!" would be translated into: "Pimrhi’ma isahs ahmid’tor’ahmibl’te!”

Let’s talk about Reflexive Pronouns. Now here is the tricky part that combines a few rules so you’ll have to think about the word carefully. Words like Myself, Yourself, Yourselves, Ourselves, Themselves, Himself, Herself and Itself will combine many rules from the River DIalect. Not only do you have to think of the proper pronoun, but also the gender, the subject, and the possessiveness. Here is what each word would look like.

'''Reflexive Pronouns'''
*Myself (M speaker) = Pao’mas’telf
*Myself (F speaker) = Lai’mas’telf
*Myself (GL speaker) = Yhin’mas’telf
*Yourself (M subject) = T’nao’mas’telf
*Yourself (F subject) = T’kai’mas’telf
*Yourself (GL subject) = T’ghin’mas’telf
*Yourselves (Plural subject) = T’kai’mas’telv’tes
*Ourselves = Jinh’mas’telv’tes
*Themselves = Funh’mas’telv’tes
*Himself = Hen’mas’telf
*Herself = Shen’mas’telf
*(GL 3rd Person Reflexive) / Itself = Yem‘mas‘telf

Now let’s see some examples now of Polite particles, and more Possessive forms.

*''That is my hat (M speaker)'' = Th’ahmit isahs pao’ma h’ahmit, ruu sai.

*''My hat is on your head (GL speaker to F subject)'' = Yem’ma h’ahmit isahs ton t’kai’ma h’te’ahmid, sai.

*''This hat is mine. It is not yours. (F speaker to GL subject)'' = Th’isahs h’ahmit isahs lai’ma. Yem isahs n’tot t’ghin’ma, len sai.

*''The hat belongs to them. It is theirs (Formal speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit b’tel’tongs t’to th’tem. Yem isahs funh’ma, sai

*''The Hat’s button fell off (F speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit’ma b’uhnatt’ton f’tell toff, len sai.

*''Aran’sae’s mother's hat is better. It tastes great. (M speaker)'' = Aran’sae’ma m’toth’ter’ma h’ahmit isahs b’tett’ter, ruu sai. Yem t’ahmist’tes gr’te’ahmit, ruu sai.

The apostrophe is used a lot in this language to denote a small breath, or an intake of air. It’s a very calm language so you will see the apostrophe used a lot. However, it is never used in the sense of contracting words. Contractions are vacant from the language completely. Words are never shortened. “Does not” never becomes “Doesn’t.” “Cannot” never becomes “Can’t.” “Let us” never becomes “Let’s.” Etc. You will also never see the Apostrophe used as a diacritic mark. Now let’s used everything we’ve learned so far about the River Miqo’te Dialect!

*''I love my sandwich! (m speaker)'' = Pao l’tov’te pao’ma s’ahmindw’isahch, ruu sai!

*''She hates her dress. (f speaker)'' = Shen h’ahmit’tes shen’ma dr’tess, len sai.

*''I ate three slices of Mother Miounne’s eel pie, hehehe! (f speaker)'' = Lai ahmit’te thr’te’te sl’isahsc’tes of M’toth’ter Miounne’ma eel pie, len sai, hehehe!

*''You are running away from it. (gl speaker to m)'' = T’nao ahmir’te r’uhnann’isahng ahmiw’ahmi’yhamin fr’tom yem, sai.

*''Their party is cool (m speaker)'' = Funh’ma p’ahmirt’yhamin isahs c’to’tol, ruu sai.

*''Our Free Company owns me! (F speaker)'' = Jinh’ma Free Company towns lai!

*''Naoh’ra’s trousers are warm (m speaker)'' = Naoh’ra’ma tr’to’uhnas’ters ahmir’te w’ahmirm, ruu sai.

*''Its head hurts (f speaker)'' = Yem’ma h’te’ahmid h’uhnarts, len sai.

*''I have a wedgie. It hurts. (gl speaker)'' = Yhin h’ahmiv’te ahmi w’tedg’isah’te, sai. Yem h’uhnarts, sai.

*''What is your name? (f speaker to m)'' = Wh’ahmit isahs t’nao’ma n’ahmim’te, len sai?

*''Can I help you? (gl speaker to Group)'' = C’ahmin Yhin h’telp t’kai, sai?

*''They can help themselves to some roasted Dodo from Thanalan. (m speak)'' = Funh c’ahmi h’telp funh’mas’telv’tes t’to s’tom’te r’to’ahmist’ted Dodo fr’tom Thanalan, ruu sai.

*''I want to go to Gridania in a subligar! (m speak)'' = Pao w’ahmint t’to g’to t’to Gridania isahn ahmi subligar!

*''Where can we rendezvous? Vesper Bay?(gl speak)'' = Wh’ter’te c’ahmin jinh rendezvous, sai? Vesper Bay, sai?

*''Go by yourself, bitch! (f speak to f )''= G’to b’yhamin t’kai’mas’telf, b’isahtch!

*''I think you are so ugly! (f to plural subject)''= Lai th’isahnk t’kai ahmir’te s’to uhnagl’yhamin!

*''Kill them!'' = K’isahll funh!

*''It is over!'' = Yem isahs tov’ter!

*''I do not ever want to see you again (m to m)'' = Pao d’to n’tot tev’ter w’ahmint t’to s’te’te t’nao ahmig’ahmi’isahn.

*''I like you (f speak to gl)'' = Lai l’isahk’te yhin, len sai.

*''Thank you (gl speak to f)'' = Th’ahmink t’kai, sai.

*''You are welcome (f speak to gl)'' = T’ghin ahmir’te w’telc’tom’te, len sai.''

As you can see, the word Dodo and Eel Pie are not translated into the Miqo’te River Dialect. Names for food, countries, places, cities, and people’s names in general are left alone since they are taken from other languages. Gridania, Thanalan, Gold Saucer, Vesper Bay, C’sansha, Naoh’ra and other proper nouns would all remain untouched. Words take from other languages are also not switched into River Dialect, such as: Costa del Sol, La Noscea, Château, Java, and rendezvous. You may also have noticed a few ruder or meaner sentences lack the polite particle in order to increase the intensity of the rude or excited sentence.

Now that we’ve gone over how to form this language, let’s return to the subject about words you will never ever see in the language. The letters of English Pronouns will never be ciphered into River Dialect. The word “it” will never be ciphered since “Yem“ is used. Names of people, places, things, and any other Proper Noun will not be ciphered. The Apostrophe mark will never be used to denote possessiveness of a subject, in a contraction, or used as a diacritic mark. Let’s see some examples of what you will never see. If you use these words or phrases, people who speak the River Miqo’te Dialect fluently will know you are still a beginner.

==Miqo’te River Dialect: Advanced Level==
'''Slang, Culture differences, and River Dialect Alphabet'''

Welcome to the Advanced level of the River Dialect. This section is for those of you who feel comfortable enough to start using slang or want to know more about the written language of the River Miqo’tes.
Like all languages, there is a formal way to speak and a casual way of speaking that involves slang. Normally younger people or people who are of a more casual lifestyle like artists, hospitality industry workers, and laborers use River slang. Teenagers are renowned for their usage of slang so when speaking to a young Miqo’te who speaks River Dialect, expect to see a lot of these new, “hip” language rules.

'''Slang Pronoun Cipher:'''
* I / me (male speaker) = Po
* I / me (female speaker) = La
* I / me (genderless speaker) = Yhi
* You (male subject) = Tana
* You (female subject) = Taka
* You (genderless subject) = Taga
* He / Him= He’en
* She / Her = She’en
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’en
* We / Us= Ji
* They / Them= Fu

As you can see the first person versions of Pao and Lai are shortened to Po and La. Miqo’te teenagers who speak RIver Dialect, and casual speakers use a more abrupt tone when referring to themselves. The same rule applies to the word “You” in both gender forms. “T’nao” turns into “Tana” and “T’kai” turns into just “Taka.“ “T’ghin” turns into “Taga.” Teenagers who use these altered forms normally speaker faster, and often leave out the polite particle since they perceive everything as being casual with no regard to age differences. This causes a lot of arguments in households where the children speak to their elders with slang. You can also use this slang version to sound ruder. Gangsters, tough individuals, and criminals will often use this type of language rule as well. School children get punished for using this type of language with their teachers.

Possessiveness also changes when using River slang. The normal way to denote possessiveness is to add “ ‘ma” to the pronoun or subject. However, in River slang, the apostrophe and the letter “A” is dropped. What is left is just the “M” which is placed at the end of the pronoun or subject as part of the word. However, for second and third person forms, the “M” will replace the “N” at the end of the word. This is seen as being “Cooler” sounding, similar to how English speaking teenagers will replace the “S” for a “Z” in words such as foodz, toyz, and lawlz for fun.

'''Slang Possessive Form'''
* Mine / My (m) = Pom
* Mine / My (f) = Lam
* Mine / my (gl) = Yhim
* Yours / Your (m subject) = Tanam
* Yours / Your (f subject) = Takam
* Yours / Your (gl subject) = Tagam
* His / its = He’em
* Hers = She’em
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’em
* Ours / Our = Jim
* Theirs / Their = Fum

These new slang version also affect Reflexive forms. Let’s take a look.

* Myself (M speaker) = Poms’telf
* Myself (F speaker) = Lams’telf
* Myself (GL speaker) = Yhims’telf
* Yourself (M subject) = Tanams’telf
* Yourself / Yourselves (F subject / Plural You) = Takams’telf / Takams’telv’tes
* Yourself (GL subject) = Tagams’telf
* Ourselves = Jims’telv’tes
* Themselves = Fums’telv’tes
* Himself = He’ems’emaolf
* Herself = She’ems’emaolf
* Itself = Ye’ems‘emaolf

And those are the differences in the slang, casual version of the River Miqo’te Language. Remember, you will be considered a bit ruder when using this form due to the abruptness of the language, and also for the lack of Polite Particles.

<big>'''Language Culture'''</big>

Languages have a culture in of itself. With such a wide range of Seekers of the Sun, Keepers of the Moon, and other races who’ve learned the River DIalect, there are certain things that have to be mentioned in order to understand the whole language beyond the basics. Culture plays a huge factor in a way someone speaks, and with such a heavily gender focused language, we should talk about how some people feel towards gender. In this cast, gay men, lesbian women, transgender, or Gender fluid. In a similar way as some English speakers refer to each other or themselves by the identifying gender, River Dialect does the same.

A gay Miqo’te man referring to himself as “Lai” is not uncommon to hear. He would also not mind if being referred to as “Shen“ or “T’kai.” In the same sense, you may find him speaking to you with the feminine Polite Particle. By using the female forms of pronouns and using the female Polite Particle, he is feminizing himself, and is clearly open about his sexuality. More masculine gay men tend not to use the female forms when speaking. Some Gay men interchange their pronouns and polite particles often; depending on the group he is socializing with. On the other side of the same coin, Lesbian women who wish to masculinize themselves will use “Pao” when speaking about themselves, and would not mind being referred to as “Hen” or “T’nao.” A lesbian Miqo’te woman may also use the Polite Partle “Ruu sai,” however, this is less common than gay men using the Polite Particle “Len sai.” Females are the dominant gender in most Miqo’te populations, and often will take pride in that.

If you are speaking to a gay teenager who uses the slang versions of words, you may hear him or her use the opposite gender forms of the slang versions. If an individual identifies as Gender FLuid, they may continue to use gender neutral conjugations, or use all of them. Gender plays such a big part in the River language that a masculine man using the female forms is seen as humorous. River Dialect speaking drag queens take advantage of this humor by using the female forms in a high pitch voice, and then suddenly switching into a low tone and using masculine slang.

The last thing we will talk about is the impolite particle, or in other words, how to cuss in River Dialect. It is very simple to cuss in this language because all you have to do is end your sentence or word with the particle “Waa loi” and it will come off as insulting. The word “Waa loi” in ancient days was used to curse other‘s health, and fortune, and to wish them death. This superstition dates back farther than the River Dialect’s written word. To this day, the word “Waa loi” can be used by itself as a general cuss word, as a sentence ender to denote hatred, and basically, a way to have people not like you. Placing “Waa loi” at the end of your sentence when speaking with someone means you consider them your enemy, similar to if an English speaker referred to someone as a worthless bitch while talking to them. Sibling rivals are known to use “waa loi” when speaking to each other. In jest or in seriousness, others hearing this would look down at the language in public places.

'''Pimrhi Dia''' (PIM-REE DEE-UH), was once a kind and powerful Seer connected to the Echo, however, after the Calamity when she lost her husband and two children, her mind shattered. She is now a frail, and weakened woman who has started to practice dark void magic as a way to harness her grief. It's caused her to develop masochistic, and sadistic tendencies and a certain affinity for things related to death. Mixed with her mental instability and clairvoyance, her dark arts have made her an unpredictable ally/enemy to many. Pimrhi Dia is a character on the Balmung Server.

==The Character==

The first thing most people notice about the Seer, Pimrhi, is her thin, frail frame. Not even her ragged, tatter black robes can hide how emaciated she looks. She is malnourished, and looks to be very weak almost to the point of collapse. Her breath is always short and strained as if she were having trouble getting enough air. She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

The second thing most observers notice about this woman is her severe mental instability. She constantly seems lost in her own world in which she comments on regularly in a childlike manner. Being a Seer connected to the Echo, she has the gift of passively viewing possible outcomes of the future. These visions mixed with her delusions and insanity often times confuses those around her when she speaks. She frequently talks in riddles, and rhymes of the things she sees. Pimrhi has a particular fondness for liars, murderers, and thieves. She often makes comparisons between secrets, pain, and death to sweet tastes, warm feelings, or pleasant music. Many people find her unnerving not due to her power, but to her complete lack of remorse, and enjoyment of causing pain.

==Pre-Calamity History==

Pimrhi was one of the oldest children of Aran Dia and Ehtni'a Spihran, and older sister to [[Aran'sae Dia]]. Pimrhi had a very nice childhood. With so many children in her family, she grew to be very reliant on social interactions, but with a splash of independence. After all, with so many siblings, one had to learn very quickly to hold your own. She often cared for her younger siblings when her parents were not present. She felt very close to her brothers and sisters even when some of them moved away to pursue their own lives; such as her youngest brother Aran'sae who eventually became a Hearer. Some time after this, Pimrhi discovered she too possessed a gift. Clairvoyance. It was this ability that allowed her to see her future. She would become a great healer one day. Pimrhi had always been the type to care for others, and quickly embraced her gifts as a Seer in order to help others. This lead her to pursue a medical path in life. With plans to become a Physicker with a major in herbal remedies, she left home to live on her own. While finding her own life, and learning about medicine, she met a very smart, and charming Keeper Miqo'te named Gadaht'a who was training to be an Arcanist. He found her passion for medicine, and her special ability of the Echo, to be fascinating. The two fell in love quickly and married; eventually they had a son. Two years later, Pimrhi was expecting another son on the way.

Then came the Calamity. While 7 months pregnant with her second son, and trying to protect her older son and husband, the skies were lit with fire and came crashing down on their village. The town quickly started to evacuate to safer areas away from the fires that now erupted all around the forest. Gadaht'a tried to get his wife to safety, but perished in the flames. This was the first crack to her psyche. With all the smoke and ash in the air, Pimrhi couldn't see. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think past the grief of losing her husband. The young woman tried to make her way through the burning forest with the rest of the evacuees, but succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed out with her 2 year old son in her arms as the fires crept towards them. She woke up hours later from the pain all around her body. She was covered in burns, and was severely injured. A healer in the group of evacuees who pulled Pimrhi to safety, tried to mend her and her child's wounds, but he could not save the 2 year old boy. Pimrhi's baby died in his mother's arms. This broke her already distressed mental state. With only her and her unborn son left alive, she pulled herself to her feet with the help of the other villagers, and made their continued escape from the chaos. Days later, through the stress, injuries, and physical burden, she miscarried. What was left of her already damaged mind was swept away. Pimrhi fled from the villagers who were trying to care for her; taking the bodies of her two dead children with her. Her whereabouts after that went unknown and many assumed her dead.

==Post-Calamity==

Five years after the Calamity, late at night in Drybone Cemetery of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, a Roegadyn man named [[Mhastoum Greinsyn ]] happen to wander off after a funeral he had attended. Mhastoum strolled into an unkempt area of the cemetery where he was confronted by a dark figure. (WIP)

===Miqo’te “River Dialect”===

((OOC Note: Not much is known in-game about the Miqo’te Language besides it being very old. So, I invented my own Dialect of the Miqo’te Language. My version of the Language takes notes from Thai, Japanese, Spanish and English. I’ve created it to sound similar to the Miqo’te Naming conventions as much as possible.

Both Keepers of the Moon and Seekers of the Sun may know this River Dialect. The Dialect is not specific to a race, but to a geographic region. Miqo’te who grew up near a River are more likely to speak this dialect, but it’s not required. Some characters outside the Miqo’te culture such as Hyurs, Elezens, Ixals, etc, may know the basics of the language as well. Your character is free to learn this language if you like and if you think it fits your character’s story. Just please don’t alter or steal this work as your own.))

<big>'''River Language Lessons'''</big>

The first thing you need to learn is that this language is based off the English language’s vowels. In other words, River Dialect is partly a vowel substitution language. It is similar to a cipher, except that the only thing changed out are the vowels. What I mean by “partly a vowel substitution language,“ is there is another part of the language involving real conjugation of words based on pronouns, and possessiveness. Let’s begin with the six vowel substitutions before we explain the Pronouns.

'''Vowel Cipher:'''
*A = ‘ahmi
*E = ‘te
*I = ‘isah
*O= ‘to
*U= ‘unha
*Y= ‘yhamin

By substituting vowels with these phrases, including the apostrophe (Unless it‘s the first letter of the word), into English words, you will develop a whole new word that sounds like it came from a whole different language. Let’s see some examples, shall we?

*School = Sch’to’tol
*Village = V’isahll’ahmig’te
*Work = W’tork
*Tavern = T’ahmiv’tern

*Family = F’ahmim’isahl’yhamin
*Children = Ch’isahldr’ten
*Friend = Fr’isah’tend
*Stranger = Str’ahming’ter

*Apple = Ahmippl’te
*Tomato = T’tom’ahmit’to
*Pumpkin = P’uhnampk’isahn
*Lettuce = L’tett’uhnac’te

*North = N’torth
*South = S’to’uhnath
*East = Te’ahmist
*West = W’test

*Tunic = T’uhnan’isahc
*Armour = Ahmirm’to’uhnar
*Dress = Dr’tess
*Robe = R’tob’te

*Inside = Isahns’isahd’te
*Above = Ahmib’tov’te
*Through = Thr’to’uhnagh
*On top =Ton t’top

*Happy = H’ahmipp’yhamin
*Sad = S’ahmid
*Angry = Ahmingr’yhamin
*Frightened = Fr’isahght’ten’ted

*Cipher = C’isahph’ter
*Puzzle = P’uhnazzl’te
*Teaser = T’te’ahmis’ter
*Riddle= R’isahddl’te

*Meat = M’te’ahmit
*Fur = F’uhnar
*Horn = H’torn
*Tail = T’ahmi’isahl

*Void = V’to’isahd
*Moon = M’to’ton
*Sun = S’uhnan
*Sky = Sk’yhamin

*Fight = F’isahght
*Injury = Isahnj’uhnar’yhamin
*Healing = H’te’ahmil’isahng
*Magic = M’ahmig’isahc

*Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = S’uhnap’terc’ahmil’isahfr’ahmig’isahl’isahst’isahc’texp’isah’ahmil’isahd’toc’isah’to’uhnas

Did you catch onto the basics of Miqo’te River Dialect by looking over the examples? Now that we’ve covered all the vowel substitutions, let’s get on with the pronouns used in the language. The Language is heavily based on culture, and respect. If you’ve noticed, River Miqo’te Dialect has a sort of Asian feel to it, and like an Asian language the language is conjugated differently depending on the gender of the speaker. The following words do not follow the Vowel Substitution rules, and instead, the entire word is substituted out for its River Dialect counterpart.

'''Pronoun Cipher:'''
*I / me (male speaker) = Pao
*I / me (female speaker) = Lai
*I / me (genderless) = Yhin
*You (male subject) = T’nao
*You (female subject) / You all (plural 2nd Person) = T’kai
*You (genderless) = T’ghin
*He / Him = Hen
*She / Her = Shen
*Genderless 3rd Person / It = Yem
*We / Us= Jinh
*They / Them= Funh

As you can see, if you are a male you will refer to yourself as “Pao“. If you are Female you will refer to yourself as “Lai.” If the 1st Person speaker is Genderless, they would use “Yhin.” If you are speaking directly to a male you refer to that person as “T’nao“. If you are directly speaking to a female you refer to her as “T’ghin“. If you are speaking to a male, you refer to him as “Hen“. If you are speaking to an identifying female, you use “Shen“. If you are speaking to a person, creature, or entity whose gender is unknown or fluid, you would refer to that person as Yem. Remember, just like in real life, using the wrong gender pronoun can be seen as insulting.

As you can see, the language is very gender focused. For a subject of unknown gender or for an inanimate object, River Dialect uses the all encompassing “Yem.” Yem would be used with things in nature such as tree spirits, river spirits, rock golems, forests, meadows, stars, and the sky. “Yem” can also be used for objects like a cup, a house, an idea, a feeling, and concepts, etc. So “It” would become “Yem” in all cases where “It” is used. When speaking to a "you" of unknown gender, or a group of genderless entities, use the Genderless form “T’ghin“ as well. “T’kai” can be used when speaking of a plural “You” of females, however if there is one male present in the group of females, you would still use “T’kai.” Even if there is one female in a group of hundreds of males, the word “T’kai” would still be used when speaking to them as a group. “T’kai” is the standard “You all,” the 2nd Person Plural. It is considered polite. It could be called sexist by our standards, but real languages that are gender focused follow this rule as well, so for the sake of an authentic and cultural feel, we will follow this rule too. After all, females in the Miqo’te culture are more dominant gender.

Let’s see some examples with using the word “Love” which in River Dialect turns into “L’tov’te.”

*I love you (M to F) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to GL) = Pao l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (F to M) = Lai l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to GL) = Lai l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (GL to M) = Yhin l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (GL to F) = Yhin l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to M) = Pao l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to F) = Lai l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (GL to GL) = Yhin l’tov’te t’ghin.

*You (M subject) love him = T’nao l’tov’te hen.
*You (F subject) love him = T’kai l’tov’te hen.
*You (GL subject) love him = T’ghin l’tov’te hen.
*You (M subject) love her = T’nao l’tov’te shen.
*You (F subject) love her = T’kai l’tov’te shen.
*You (GL subject) love her = T’ghin l’tov’te shen.
*You (M subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’nao l’tov’te yem.
*You (F subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’kai l’tov’te yem.
*You (GL subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’ghin l’tov’te yem

*We love them = Jinh l’tov’te funh.
*They love us = Funh l’tov’te jinh.
*We love us = Jinh l’tov’te jinh.
*They love them = Funh l’tov’te funh.

*He loves you (M subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’nao.
*He loves you (F subject) = Henl’tov’te t’kai.
*He loves you (GL subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*She loves you (M subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’nao.
*She loves you (F subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai.
*She loves you (GL subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (M subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’nao.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (F subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’kai.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (GL subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’ghin.

*I love you (M to plural subject) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai
*She loves you (F subject to plural subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai
*You love you (Plural subject to plural subject) = T’kai l’tov’te t’kai

As well as being a heavily gender focused language, the language is also focused on respect with the use of a Polite Particle at the end of the sentence. A Polite Particle is a word said at the end of the sentence to denote calmness, and thoughtfulness. In other words, by omitting the Polite Particle, your sentence will come off as abrupt, rude, or even be considered by others as you cussing. Males and females have different Polite Particles used after every sentence.

'''Polite Particles:'''
*Male Speaker’s Polite Particle = Ruu Sai
*Female Speaker’s Polite Particle = Len Sai
*Formal Speaker’s Polite Particle = Sai

Individuals who identify as Genderless or Gender Fluid would use the more formal “Sai” ; omitting Ruu or Len completely. In formal occasions such as speaking to one’s boss, or teacher, you would use “Sai” ; omitting the Ruu or Len as well. Polite Particles can be omitted when speaking to those you feel as your peers, friends, and family, but be careful. If you feel you can be casual with your teacher, and omit the polite particle when speaking with your teacher because you feel close to him or her, your teacher may not feel the same way, and may feel as if you were being rude, disrespectful, and low class. A safe bet when speaking to those outside your circle of close friends and siblings around the same age, is always use a Polite Particle. Age plays a large factor in the Polite Particle usage. If the person you are speaking to is older than you or of a higher rank, it’s safe to bet you will use the Formal Polite Particle.

Before we see some examples of Polite Particles in use, let’s discuss possessive forms like “My cat,” “Her Sword,” and “Their Eel Pie.” You take the pronoun and add the Miqo’te River Dialect word “ ‘ma” directly to the end of the word (apostrophe and all) to form the River versions of Mine, My, Yours, Your, Theirs, Their, Ours, Our, Hers and His.

'''Possessive Form = ‘ma'''

*Mine / My (m) = Pao'ma
*Mine / My (f) = Lai'ma
*Mine / My (gl) = Yhin’ma
*Yours / Your (m subject) = T’nao’ma
*Yours / Your (f subject / plural you) = T’kai’ma
*Yours / Your (gl subject) = T’ghin’ma
*His = Hen'ma
*Hers / Her = Shen'ma
*(GL 3rd Person Possessive) / Its = Yem’ma
*Ours / Our = Jinh'ma
*Theirs / Their = Funh'ma

With the use of Proper Nouns such as a name of a person, place, or thing, you would follow the same rule, and place " 'ma " at the end of the Proper Noun.

For example, the sentence "Pimrhi’s baby is adorable!" would be translated into: "Pimrhi’ma isahs ahmid’tor’ahmibl’te!”

Let’s talk about Reflexive Pronouns. Now here is the tricky part that combines a few rules so you’ll have to think about the word carefully. Words like Myself, Yourself, Yourselves, Ourselves, Themselves, Himself, Herself and Itself will combine many rules from the River DIalect. Not only do you have to think of the proper pronoun, but also the gender, the subject, and the possessiveness. Here is what each word would look like.

'''Reflexive Pronouns'''
*Myself (M speaker) = Pao’mas’telf
*Myself (F speaker) = Lai’mas’telf
*Myself (GL speaker) = Yhin’mas’telf
*Yourself (M subject) = T’nao’mas’telf
*Yourself (F subject) = T’kai’mas’telf
*Yourself (GL subject) = T’ghin’mas’telf
*Yourselves (Plural subject) = T’kai’mas’telv’tes
*Ourselves = Jinh’mas’telv’tes
*Themselves = Funh’mas’telv’tes
*Himself = Hen’mas’telf
*Herself = Shen’mas’telf
*(GL 3rd Person Reflexive) / Itself = Yem‘mas‘telf

Now let’s see some examples now of Polite particles, and more Possessive forms.

*''That is my hat (M speaker)'' = Th’ahmit isahs pao’ma h’ahmit, ruu sai.

*''My hat is on your head (GL speaker to F subject)'' = Yem’ma h’ahmit isahs ton t’kai’ma h’te’ahmid, sai.

*''This hat is mine. It is not yours. (F speaker to GL subject)'' = Th’isahs h’ahmit isahs lai’ma. Yem isahs n’tot t’ghin’ma, len sai.

*''The hat belongs to them. It is theirs (Formal speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit b’tel’tongs t’to th’tem. Yem isahs funh’ma, sai

*''The Hat’s button fell off (F speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit’ma b’uhnatt’ton f’tell toff, len sai.

*''Aran’sae’s mother's hat is better. It tastes great. (M speaker)'' = Aran’sae’ma m’toth’ter’ma h’ahmit isahs b’tett’ter, ruu sai. Yem t’ahmist’tes gr’te’ahmit, ruu sai.

The apostrophe is used a lot in this language to denote a small breath, or an intake of air. It’s a very calm language so you will see the apostrophe used a lot. However, it is never used in the sense of contracting words. Contractions are vacant from the language completely. Words are never shortened. “Does not” never becomes “Doesn’t.” “Cannot” never becomes “Can’t.” “Let us” never becomes “Let’s.” Etc. You will also never see the Apostrophe used as a diacritic mark. Now let’s used everything we’ve learned so far about the River Miqo’te Dialect!

*''I love my sandwich! (m speaker)'' = Pao l’tov’te pao’ma s’ahmindw’isahch, ruu sai!

*''I ate three slices of Mother Miounne’s eel pie, hehehe! (f speaker)'' = Lai ahmit’te thr’te’te sl’isahsc’tes of M’toth’ter Miounne’ma eel pie, len sai, hehehe!

*''You are running away from it. (gl speaker to m)'' = T’nao ahmir’te r’uhnann’isahng ahmiw’ahmi’yhamin fr’tom yem, sai.

*''I have a wedgie. It hurts. (gl speaker)'' = Yhin h’ahmiv’te ahmi w’tedg’isah’te, sai. Yem h’uhnarts, sai.

*''Kill them!'' = K’isahll funh!

*''It is over!'' = Yem isahs tov’ter!

*''I do not ever want to see you again (m to m)'' = Pao d’to n’tot tev’ter w’ahmint t’to s’te’te t’nao ahmig’ahmi’isahn.

*''Thank you (gl speak to f)'' = Th’ahmink t’kai, sai.

*''You are welcome (f speak to gl)'' = T’ghin ahmir’te w’telc’tom’te, len sai.''

As you can see, the word Dodo and Eel Pie are not translated into the Miqo’te River Dialect. Names for food, countries, places, cities, and people’s names in general are left alone since they are taken from other languages. Gridania, Thanalan, Gold Saucer, Vesper Bay, C’sansha, Naoh’ra and other proper nouns would all remain untouched. Words take from other languages are also not switched into River Dialect, such as: Costa del Sol, La Noscea, Château, Java, and rendezvous. You may also have noticed a few ruder or meaner sentences lack the polite particle in order to increase the intensity of the rude or excited sentence.

Now that we’ve gone over how to form this language, let’s return to the subject about words you will never ever see in the language. The letters of English Pronouns will never be ciphered into River Dialect. The word “it” will never be ciphered since “Yem“ is used. Names of people, places, things, and any other Proper Noun will not be ciphered. The Apostrophe mark will never be used to denote possessiveness of a subject, in a contraction, or used as a diacritic mark. Let’s see some examples of what you will never see. If you use these words or phrases, people who speak the River Miqo’te Dialect fluently will know you are still a beginner.

===Miqo’te River Dialect: Advanced Level===
'''Slang, Culture differences, and River Dialect Alphabet'''

Welcome to the Advanced level of the River Dialect. This section is for those of you who feel comfortable enough to start using slang or want to know more about the written language of the River Miqo’tes.
Like all languages, there is a formal way to speak and a casual way of speaking that involves slang. Normally younger people or people who are of a more casual lifestyle like artists, hospitality industry workers, and laborers use River slang. Teenagers are renowned for their usage of slang so when speaking to a young Miqo’te who speaks River Dialect, expect to see a lot of these new, “hip” language rules.

'''Slang Pronoun Cipher:'''
* I / me (male speaker) = Po
* I / me (female speaker) = La
* I / me (genderless speaker) = Yhi
* You (male subject) = Tana
* You (female subject) = Taka
* You (genderless subject) = Taga
* He / Him= He’en
* She / Her = She’en
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’en
* We / Us= Ji
* They / Them= Fu

As you can see the first person versions of Pao and Lai are shortened to Po and La. Miqo’te teenagers who speak RIver Dialect, and casual speakers use a more abrupt tone when referring to themselves. The same rule applies to the word “You” in both gender forms. “T’nao” turns into “Tana” and “T’kai” turns into just “Taka.“ “T’ghin” turns into “Taga.” Teenagers who use these altered forms normally speaker faster, and often leave out the polite particle since they perceive everything as being casual with no regard to age differences. This causes a lot of arguments in households where the children speak to their elders with slang. You can also use this slang version to sound ruder. Gangsters, tough individuals, and criminals will often use this type of language rule as well. School children get punished for using this type of language with their teachers.

Possessiveness also changes when using River slang. The normal way to denote possessiveness is to add “ ‘ma” to the pronoun or subject. However, in River slang, the apostrophe and the letter “A” is dropped. What is left is just the “M” which is placed at the end of the pronoun or subject as part of the word. However, for second and third person forms, the “M” will replace the “N” at the end of the word. This is seen as being “Cooler” sounding, similar to how English speaking teenagers will replace the “S” for a “Z” in words such as foodz, toyz, and lawlz for fun.

'''Slang Possessive Form'''
* Mine / My (m) = Pom
* Mine / My (f) = Lam
* Mine / my (gl) = Yhim
* Yours / Your (m subject) = Tanam
* Yours / Your (f subject) = Takam
* Yours / Your (gl subject) = Tagam
* His / its = He’em
* Hers = She’em
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’em
* Ours / Our = Jim
* Theirs / Their = Fum

These new slang version also affect Reflexive forms. Let’s take a look.

* Myself (M speaker) = Poms’telf
* Myself (F speaker) = Lams’telf
* Myself (GL speaker) = Yhims’telf
* Yourself (M subject) = Tanams’telf
* Yourself / Yourselves (F subject / Plural You) = Takams’telf / Takams’telv’tes
* Yourself (GL subject) = Tagams’telf
* Ourselves = Jims’telv’tes
* Themselves = Fums’telv’tes
* Himself = He’ems’emaolf
* Herself = She’ems’emaolf
* Itself = Ye’ems‘emaolf

And those are the differences in the slang, casual version of the River Miqo’te Language. Remember, you will be considered a bit ruder when using this form due to the abruptness of the language, and also for the lack of Polite Particles.

<big>'''Language Culture'''</big>

Languages have a culture in of itself. With such a wide range of Seekers of the Sun, Keepers of the Moon, and other races who’ve learned the River DIalect, there are certain things that have to be mentioned in order to understand the whole language beyond the basics. Culture plays a huge factor in a way someone speaks, and with such a heavily gender focused language, we should talk about how some people feel towards gender. In this cast, gay men, lesbian women, transgender, or Gender fluid. In a similar way as some English speakers refer to each other or themselves by the identifying gender, River Dialect does the same.

A gay Miqo’te man referring to himself as “Lai” is not uncommon to hear. He would also not mind if being referred to as “Shen“ or “T’kai.” In the same sense, you may find him speaking to you with the feminine Polite Particle. By using the female forms of pronouns and using the female Polite Particle, he is feminizing himself, and is clearly open about his sexuality. More masculine gay men tend not to use the female forms when speaking. Some Gay men interchange their pronouns and polite particles often; depending on the group he is socializing with. On the other side of the same coin, Lesbian women who wish to masculinize themselves will use “Pao” when speaking about themselves, and would not mind being referred to as “Hen” or “T’nao.” A lesbian Miqo’te woman may also use the Polite Partle “Ruu sai,” however, this is less common than gay men using the Polite Particle “Len sai.” Females are the dominant gender in most Miqo’te populations, and often will take pride in that.

If you are speaking to a gay teenager who uses the slang versions of words, you may hear him or her use the opposite gender forms of the slang versions. If an individual identifies as Gender FLuid, they may continue to use gender neutral conjugations, or use all of them. Gender plays such a big part in the River language that a masculine man using the female forms is seen as humorous. River Dialect speaking drag queens take advantage of this humor by using the female forms in a high pitch voice, and then suddenly switching into a low tone and using masculine slang.

The last thing we will talk about is the impolite particle, or in other words, how to cuss in River Dialect. It is very simple to cuss in this language because all you have to do is end your sentence or word with the particle “Waa loi” and it will come off as insulting. The word “Waa loi” in ancient days was used to curse other‘s health, and fortune, and to wish them death. This superstition dates back farther than the River Dialect’s written word. To this day, the word “Waa loi” can be used by itself as a general cuss word, as a sentence ender to denote hatred, and basically, a way to have people not like you. Placing “Waa loi” at the end of your sentence when speaking with someone means you consider them your enemy, similar to if an English speaker referred to someone as a worthless bitch while talking to them. Sibling rivals are known to use “waa loi” when speaking to each other. In jest or in seriousness, others hearing this would look down at the language in public places.

'''Pimrhi Dia''' (PIM-REE DEE-UH), was once a kind and powerful Seer connected to the Echo, however, after the Calamity when she lost her husband and two children, her mind shattered. She is now a frail, and weakened woman who has started to practice dark void magic as a way to harness her grief. It's caused her to develop masochistic, and sadistic tendencies and a certain affinity for things related to death. Mixed with her mental instability and clairvoyance, her dark arts have made her an unpredictable ally/enemy to many. Pimrhi Dia is a character on the Balmung Server.

==The Character==

The first thing most people notice about the Seer, Pimrhi, is her thin, frail frame. Not even her ragged, tatter black robes can hide how emaciated she looks. She is malnourished, and looks to be very weak almost to the point of collapse. Her breath is always short and strained as if she were having trouble getting enough air. She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

The second thing most observers notice about this woman is her severe mental instability. She constantly seems lost in her own world in which she comments on regularly in a childlike manner. Being a Seer connected to the Echo, she has the gift of passively viewing possible outcomes of the future. These visions mixed with her delusions and insanity often times confuses those around her when she speaks. She frequently talks in riddles, and rhymes of the things she sees. Pimrhi has a particular fondness for liars, murderers, and thieves. She often makes comparisons between secrets, pain, and death to sweet tastes, warm feelings, or pleasant music. Many people find her unnerving not due to her power, but to her complete lack of remorse, and enjoyment of causing pain.

==Pre-Calamity History==

Pimrhi was one of the oldest children of Aran Dia and Ehtni'a Spihran, and older sister to [[Aran'sae Dia]]. Pimrhi had a very nice childhood. With so many children in her family, she grew to be very reliant on social interactions, but with a splash of independence. After all, with so many siblings, one had to learn very quickly to hold your own. She often cared for her younger siblings when her parents were not present. She felt very close to her brothers and sisters even when some of them moved away to pursue their own lives; such as her youngest brother Aran'sae who eventually became a Hearer. Some time after this, Pimrhi discovered she too possessed a gift. Clairvoyance. It was this ability that allowed her to see her future. She would become a great healer one day. Pimrhi had always been the type to care for others, and quickly embraced her gifts as a Seer in order to help others. This lead her to pursue a medical path in life. With plans to become a Physicker with a major in herbal remedies, she left home to live on her own. While finding her own life, and learning about medicine, she met a very smart, and charming Keeper Miqo'te named Gadaht'a who was training to be an Arcanist. He found her passion for medicine, and her special ability of the Echo, to be fascinating. The two fell in love quickly and married; eventually they had a son. Two years later, Pimrhi was expecting another son on the way.

Then came the Calamity. While 7 months pregnant with her second son, and trying to protect her older son and husband, the skies were lit with fire and came crashing down on their village. The town quickly started to evacuate to safer areas away from the fires that now erupted all around the forest. Gadaht'a tried to get his wife to safety, but perished in the flames. This was the first crack to her psyche. With all the smoke and ash in the air, Pimrhi couldn't see. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think past the grief of losing her husband. The young woman tried to make her way through the burning forest with the rest of the evacuees, but succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed out with her 2 year old son in her arms as the fires crept towards them. She woke up hours later from the pain all around her body. She was covered in burns, and was severely injured. A healer in the group of evacuees who pulled Pimrhi to safety, tried to mend her and her child's wounds, but he could not save the 2 year old boy. Pimrhi's baby died in his mother's arms. This broke her already distressed mental state. With only her and her unborn son left alive, she pulled herself to her feet with the help of the other villagers, and made their continued escape from the chaos. Days later, through the stress, injuries, and physical burden, she miscarried. What was left of her already damaged mind was swept away. Pimrhi fled from the villagers who were trying to care for her; taking the bodies of her two dead children with her. Her whereabouts after that went unknown and many assumed her dead.

==Post-Calamity==

Five years after the Calamity, late at night in Drybone Cemetery of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, a Roegadyn man named [[Mhastoum Greinsyn ]] happen to wander off after a funeral he had attended. Mhastoum strolled into an unkempt area of the cemetery where he was confronted by a dark figure. (WIP)

<big>'''Miqo’te “River Dialect”'''</big>

((OOC Note: Not much is known in-game about the Miqo’te Language besides it being very old. So, I invented my own Dialect of the Miqo’te Language. My version of the Language takes notes from Thai, Japanese, Spanish and English. I’ve created it to sound similar to the Miqo’te Naming conventions as much as possible.

Both Keepers of the Moon and Seekers of the Sun may know this River Dialect. The Dialect is not specific to a race, but to a geographic region. Miqo’te who grew up near a River are more likely to speak this dialect, but it’s not required. Some characters outside the Miqo’te culture such as Hyurs, Elezens, Ixals, etc, may know the basics of the language as well. Your character is free to learn this language if you like and if you think it fits your character’s story. Just please don’t alter or steal this work as your own.))

<big>'''River Language Lessons'''</big>

The first thing you need to learn is that this language is based off the English language’s vowels. In other words, River Dialect is partly a vowel substitution language. It is similar to a cipher, except that the only thing changed out are the vowels. What I mean by “partly a vowel substitution language,“ is there is another part of the language involving real conjugation of words based on pronouns, and possessiveness. Let’s begin with the six vowel substitutions before we explain the Pronouns.

'''Vowel Cipher:'''
*A = ‘ahmi
*E = ‘te
*I = ‘isah
*O= ‘to
*U= ‘unha
*Y= ‘yhamin

By substituting vowels with these phrases, including the apostrophe (Unless it‘s the first letter of the word), into English words, you will develop a whole new word that sounds like it came from a whole different language. Let’s see some examples, shall we?

*School = Sch’to’tol
*Village = V’isahll’ahmig’te
*Work = W’tork
*Tavern = T’ahmiv’tern

*Family = F’ahmim’isahl’yhamin
*Children = Ch’isahldr’ten
*Friend = Fr’isah’tend
*Stranger = Str’ahming’ter

*Apple = Ahmippl’te
*Tomato = T’tom’ahmit’to
*Pumpkin = P’uhnampk’isahn
*Lettuce = L’tett’uhnac’te

*North = N’torth
*South = S’to’uhnath
*East = Te’ahmist
*West = W’test

*Tunic = T’uhnan’isahc
*Armour = Ahmirm’to’uhnar
*Dress = Dr’tess
*Robe = R’tob’te

*Inside = Isahns’isahd’te
*Above = Ahmib’tov’te
*Through = Thr’to’uhnagh
*On top =Ton t’top

*Happy = H’ahmipp’yhamin
*Sad = S’ahmid
*Angry = Ahmingr’yhamin
*Frightened = Fr’isahght’ten’ted

*Cipher = C’isahph’ter
*Puzzle = P’uhnazzl’te
*Teaser = T’te’ahmis’ter
*Riddle= R’isahddl’te

*Meat = M’te’ahmit
*Fur = F’uhnar
*Horn = H’torn
*Tail = T’ahmi’isahl

*Void = V’to’isahd
*Moon = M’to’ton
*Sun = S’uhnan
*Sky = Sk’yhamin

*Fight = F’isahght
*Injury = Isahnj’uhnar’yhamin
*Healing = H’te’ahmil’isahng
*Magic = M’ahmig’isahc

*Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = S’uhnap’terc’ahmil’isahfr’ahmig’isahl’isahst’isahc’texp’isah’ahmil’isahd’toc’isah’to’uhnas

Did you catch onto the basics of Miqo’te River Dialect by looking over the examples? Now that we’ve covered all the vowel substitutions, let’s get on with the pronouns used in the language. The Language is heavily based on culture, and respect. If you’ve noticed, River Miqo’te Dialect has a sort of Asian feel to it, and like an Asian language the language is conjugated differently depending on the gender of the speaker. The following words do not follow the Vowel Substitution rules, and instead, the entire word is substituted out for its River Dialect counterpart.

'''Pronoun Cipher:'''
*I / me (male speaker) = Pao
*I / me (female speaker) = Lai
*I / me (genderless) = Yhin
*You (male subject) = T’nao
*You (female subject) / You all (plural 2nd Person) = T’kai
*You (genderless) = T’ghin
*He / Him = Hen
*She / Her = Shen
*Genderless 3rd Person / It = Yem
*We / Us= Jinh
*They / Them= Funh

As you can see, if you are a male you will refer to yourself as “Pao“. If you are Female you will refer to yourself as “Lai.” If the 1st Person speaker is Genderless, they would use “Yhin.” If you are speaking directly to a male you refer to that person as “T’nao“. If you are directly speaking to a female you refer to her as “T’ghin“. If you are speaking to a male, you refer to him as “Hen“. If you are speaking to an identifying female, you use “Shen“. If you are speaking to a person, creature, or entity whose gender is unknown or fluid, you would refer to that person as Yem. Remember, just like in real life, using the wrong gender pronoun can be seen as insulting.

As you can see, the language is very gender focused. For a subject of unknown gender or for an inanimate object, River Dialect uses the all encompassing “Yem.” Yem would be used with things in nature such as tree spirits, river spirits, rock golems, forests, meadows, stars, and the sky. “Yem” can also be used for objects like a cup, a house, an idea, a feeling, and concepts, etc. So “It” would become “Yem” in all cases where “It” is used. When speaking to a "you" of unknown gender, or a group of genderless entities, use the Genderless form “T’ghin“ as well. “T’kai” can be used when speaking of a plural “You” of females, however if there is one male present in the group of females, you would still use “T’kai.” Even if there is one female in a group of hundreds of males, the word “T’kai” would still be used when speaking to them as a group. “T’kai” is the standard “You all,” the 2nd Person Plural. It is considered polite. It could be called sexist by our standards, but real languages that are gender focused follow this rule as well, so for the sake of an authentic and cultural feel, we will follow this rule too. After all, females in the Miqo’te culture are more dominant gender.

Let’s see some examples with using the word “Love” which in River Dialect turns into “L’tov’te.”

*I love you (M to F) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to GL) = Pao l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (F to M) = Lai l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to GL) = Lai l’tov’te t’ghin.
*I love you (GL to M) = Yhin l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (GL to F) = Yhin l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (M to M) = Pao l’tov’te t’nao.
*I love you (F to F) = Lai l’tov’te t’kai.
*I love you (GL to GL) = Yhin l’tov’te t’ghin.

*You (M subject) love him = T’nao l’tov’te hen.
*You (F subject) love him = T’kai l’tov’te hen.
*You (GL subject) love him = T’ghin l’tov’te hen.
*You (M subject) love her = T’nao l’tov’te shen.
*You (F subject) love her = T’kai l’tov’te shen.
*You (GL subject) love her = T’ghin l’tov’te shen.
*You (M subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’nao l’tov’te yem.
*You (F subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’kai l’tov’te yem.
*You (GL subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’ghin l’tov’te yem

*We love them = Jinh l’tov’te funh.
*They love us = Funh l’tov’te jinh.
*We love us = Jinh l’tov’te jinh.
*They love them = Funh l’tov’te funh.

*He loves you (M subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’nao.
*He loves you (F subject) = Henl’tov’te t’kai.
*He loves you (GL subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*She loves you (M subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’nao.
*She loves you (F subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai.
*She loves you (GL subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’ghin.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (M subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’nao.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (F subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’kai.
*(GL 3rd Person) loves you (GL subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’ghin.

*I love you (M to plural subject) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai
*She loves you (F subject to plural subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai
*You love you (Plural subject to plural subject) = T’kai l’tov’te t’kai

As well as being a heavily gender focused language, the language is also focused on respect with the use of a Polite Particle at the end of the sentence. A Polite Particle is a word said at the end of the sentence to denote calmness, and thoughtfulness. In other words, by omitting the Polite Particle, your sentence will come off as abrupt, rude, or even be considered by others as you cussing. Males and females have different Polite Particles used after every sentence.

'''Polite Particles:'''
*Male Speaker’s Polite Particle = Ruu Sai
*Female Speaker’s Polite Particle = Len Sai
*Formal Speaker’s Polite Particle = Sai

Individuals who identify as Genderless or Gender Fluid would use the more formal “Sai” ; omitting Ruu or Len completely. In formal occasions such as speaking to one’s boss, or teacher, you would use “Sai” ; omitting the Ruu or Len as well. Polite Particles can be omitted when speaking to those you feel as your peers, friends, and family, but be careful. If you feel you can be casual with your teacher, and omit the polite particle when speaking with your teacher because you feel close to him or her, your teacher may not feel the same way, and may feel as if you were being rude, disrespectful, and low class. A safe bet when speaking to those outside your circle of close friends and siblings around the same age, is always use a Polite Particle. Age plays a large factor in the Polite Particle usage. If the person you are speaking to is older than you or of a higher rank, it’s safe to bet you will use the Formal Polite Particle.

Before we see some examples of Polite Particles in use, let’s discuss possessive forms like “My cat,” “Her Sword,” and “Their Eel Pie.” You take the pronoun and add the Miqo’te River Dialect word “ ‘ma” directly to the end of the word (apostrophe and all) to form the River versions of Mine, My, Yours, Your, Theirs, Their, Ours, Our, Hers and His.

'''Possessive Form = ‘ma'''

*Mine / My (m) = Pao'ma
*Mine / My (f) = Lai'ma
*Mine / My (gl) = Yhin’ma
*Yours / Your (m subject) = T’nao’ma
*Yours / Your (f subject / plural you) = T’kai’ma
*Yours / Your (gl subject) = T’ghin’ma
*His = Hen'ma
*Hers / Her = Shen'ma
*(GL 3rd Person Possessive) / Its = Yem’ma
*Ours / Our = Jinh'ma
*Theirs / Their = Funh'ma

With the use of Proper Nouns such as a name of a person, place, or thing, you would follow the same rule, and place " 'ma " at the end of the Proper Noun.

For example, the sentence "Pimrhi’s baby is adorable!" would be translated into: "Pimrhi’ma isahs ahmid’tor’ahmibl’te!”

Let’s talk about Reflexive Pronouns. Now here is the tricky part that combines a few rules so you’ll have to think about the word carefully. Words like Myself, Yourself, Yourselves, Ourselves, Themselves, Himself, Herself and Itself will combine many rules from the River DIalect. Not only do you have to think of the proper pronoun, but also the gender, the subject, and the possessiveness. Here is what each word would look like.

'''Reflexive Pronouns'''
*Myself (M speaker) = Pao’mas’telf
*Myself (F speaker) = Lai’mas’telf
*Myself (GL speaker) = Yhin’mas’telf
*Yourself (M subject) = T’nao’mas’telf
*Yourself (F subject) = T’kai’mas’telf
*Yourself (GL subject) = T’ghin’mas’telf
*Yourselves (Plural subject) = T’kai’mas’telv’tes
*Ourselves = Jinh’mas’telv’tes
*Themselves = Funh’mas’telv’tes
*Himself = Hen’mas’telf
*Herself = Shen’mas’telf
*(GL 3rd Person Reflexive) / Itself = Yem‘mas‘telf

Now let’s see some examples now of Polite particles, and more Possessive forms.

*''That is my hat (M speaker)'' = Th’ahmit isahs pao’ma h’ahmit, ruu sai.

*''My hat is on your head (GL speaker to F subject)'' = Yem’ma h’ahmit isahs ton t’kai’ma h’te’ahmid, sai.

*''This hat is mine. It is not yours. (F speaker to GL subject)'' = Th’isahs h’ahmit isahs lai’ma. Yem isahs n’tot t’ghin’ma, len sai.

*''The hat belongs to them. It is theirs (Formal speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit b’tel’tongs t’to th’tem. Yem isahs funh’ma, sai

*''The Hat’s button fell off (F speaker)'' = Th’te h’ahmit’ma b’uhnatt’ton f’tell toff, len sai.

*''Aran’sae’s mother's hat is better. It tastes great. (M speaker)'' = Aran’sae’ma m’toth’ter’ma h’ahmit isahs b’tett’ter, ruu sai. Yem t’ahmist’tes gr’te’ahmit, ruu sai.

The apostrophe is used a lot in this language to denote a small breath, or an intake of air. It’s a very calm language so you will see the apostrophe used a lot. However, it is never used in the sense of contracting words. Contractions are vacant from the language completely. Words are never shortened. “Does not” never becomes “Doesn’t.” “Cannot” never becomes “Can’t.” “Let us” never becomes “Let’s.” Etc. You will also never see the Apostrophe used as a diacritic mark. Now let’s used everything we’ve learned so far about the River Miqo’te Dialect!

*''I love my sandwich! (m speaker)'' = Pao l’tov’te pao’ma s’ahmindw’isahch, ruu sai!

*''She hates her dress. (f speaker)'' = Shen h’ahmit’tes shen’ma dr’tess, len sai.

*''Your feet are smelly. (gl speaker to f)'' = t’kai’ma f’te’tet ahmir’te sm’tell’yhamin, sai.

*''Vana’to’s coeurl is two years old. (f speaker)'' = Vana’to’ma coeurl isahs tw’to y’te’ahmirs told, len sai.

*''The Wood Wailer’s wife has a new sword. (m speaker)'' = Th’te W’to’tod W’ahmi’isahl’ter’ma w’isahf’te h’ahmis ahmi n’tew sw’tord, ruu sai.

*''I ate three slices of Mother Miounne’s eel pie, hehehe! (f speaker)'' = Lai ahmit’te thr’te’te sl’isahsc’tes of M’toth’ter Miounne’ma eel pie, len sai, hehehe!

*''You are running away from it. (gl speaker to m)'' = T’nao ahmir’te r’uhnann’isahng ahmiw’ahmi’yhamin fr’tom yem, sai.

*''Their party is cool (m speaker)'' = Funh’ma p’ahmirt’yhamin isahs c’to’tol, ruu sai.

*''Our Free Company owns me! (F speaker)'' = Jinh’ma Free Company towns lai!

*''Naoh’ra’s trousers are warm (m speaker)'' = Naoh’ra’ma tr’to’uhnas’ters ahmir’te w’ahmirm, ruu sai.

*''Its head hurts (f speaker)'' = Yem’ma h’te’ahmid h’uhnarts, len sai.

*''I have a wedgie. It hurts. (gl speaker)'' = Yhin h’ahmiv’te ahmi w’tedg’isah’te, sai. Yem h’uhnarts, sai.

*''What is your name? (f speaker to m)'' = Wh’ahmit isahs t’nao’ma n’ahmim’te, len sai?

*''My name is C’sansha (m speaker to f)'' = Pao’ma n’ahmim’te isahs C’sansha, ruu sai.

*''How are you? (gl speaker to gl)'' = H’tow ahmir’te t’ghin, sai?

*''I am sleepy. Can we go to bed? (f speaker)'' = Lai ahmi sl’te’tep’yhamin, len sai. C’ahmin jinh g’to t’to b’ted, len sai?

*''Can I help you? (gl speaker to Group)'' = C’ahmin Yhin h’telp t’kai, sai?

*''They can help themselves to some roasted Dodo from Thanalan. (m speak)'' = Funh c’ahmi h’telp funh’mas’telv’tes t’to s’tom’te r’to’ahmist’ted Dodo fr’tom Thanalan, ruu sai.

*''I want to go to Gridania in a subligar! (m speak)'' = Pao w’ahmint t’to g’to t’to Gridania isahn ahmi subligar!

*''Where can we rendezvous? Vesper Bay?(gl speak)'' = Wh’ter’te c’ahmin jinh rendezvous, sai? Vesper Bay, sai?

*''Go by yourself, bitch! (f speak to f )''= G’to b’yhamin t’kai’mas’telf, b’isahtch!

*''I think you are so ugly! (f to plural subject)''= Lai th’isahnk t’kai ahmir’te s’to uhnagl’yhamin!

*''Kill them!'' = K’isahll funh!

*''It is over!'' = Yem isahs tov’ter!

*''I do not ever want to see you again (m to m)'' = Pao d’to n’tot tev’ter w’ahmint t’to s’te’te t’nao ahmig’ahmi’isahn.

*''I like you (f speak to gl)'' = Lai l’isahk’te yhin, len sai.

*''Thank you (gl speak to f)'' = Th’ahmink t’kai, sai.

*''You are welcome (f speak to gl)'' = T’ghin ahmir’te w’telc’tom’te, len sai.''

As you can see, the word Dodo and Eel Pie are not translated into the Miqo’te River Dialect. Names for food, countries, places, cities, and people’s names in general are left alone since they are taken from other languages. Gridania, Thanalan, Gold Saucer, Vesper Bay, C’sansha, Naoh’ra and other proper nouns would all remain untouched. Words take from other languages are also not switched into River Dialect, such as: Costa del Sol, La Noscea, Château, Java, and rendezvous. You may also have noticed a few ruder or meaner sentences lack the polite particle in order to increase the intensity of the rude or excited sentence.

Now that we’ve gone over how to form this language, let’s return to the subject about words you will never ever see in the language. The letters of English Pronouns will never be ciphered into River Dialect. The word “it” will never be ciphered since “Yem“ is used. Names of people, places, things, and any other Proper Noun will not be ciphered. The Apostrophe mark will never be used to denote possessiveness of a subject, in a contraction, or used as a diacritic mark. Let’s see some examples of what you will never see. If you use these words or phrases, people who speak the River Miqo’te Dialect fluently will know you are still a beginner.

===River Language No-No’s and common Errors===

===Miqo’te River Dialect: Advanced Level===
'''Slang, Culture differences, and River Dialect Alphabet'''

Welcome to the Advanced level of the River Dialect. This section is for those of you who feel comfortable enough to start using slang or want to know more about the written language of the River Miqo’tes.
Like all languages, there is a formal way to speak and a casual way of speaking that involves slang. Normally younger people or people who are of a more casual lifestyle like artists, hospitality industry workers, and laborers use River slang. Teenagers are renowned for their usage of slang so when speaking to a young Miqo’te who speaks River Dialect, expect to see a lot of these new, “hip” language rules.

'''Slang Pronoun Cipher:'''
* I / me (male speaker) = Po
* I / me (female speaker) = La
* I / me (genderless speaker) = Yhi
* You (male subject) = Tana
* You (female subject) = Taka
* You (genderless subject) = Taga
* He / Him= He’en
* She / Her = She’en
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’en
* We / Us= Ji
* They / Them= Fu

As you can see the first person versions of Pao and Lai are shortened to Po and La. Miqo’te teenagers who speak RIver Dialect, and casual speakers use a more abrupt tone when referring to themselves. The same rule applies to the word “You” in both gender forms. “T’nao” turns into “Tana” and “T’kai” turns into just “Taka.“ “T’ghin” turns into “Taga.” Teenagers who use these altered forms normally speaker faster, and often leave out the polite particle since they perceive everything as being casual with no regard to age differences. This causes a lot of arguments in households where the children speak to their elders with slang. You can also use this slang version to sound ruder. Gangsters, tough individuals, and criminals will often use this type of language rule as well. School children get punished for using this type of language with their teachers.

Possessiveness also changes when using River slang. The normal way to denote possessiveness is to add “ ‘ma” to the pronoun or subject. However, in River slang, the apostrophe and the letter “A” is dropped. What is left is just the “M” which is placed at the end of the pronoun or subject as part of the word. However, for second and third person forms, the “M” will replace the “N” at the end of the word. This is seen as being “Cooler” sounding, similar to how English speaking teenagers will replace the “S” for a “Z” in words such as foodz, toyz, and lawlz for fun.

'''Slang Possessive Form'''
* Mine / My (m) = Pom
* Mine / My (f) = Lam
* Mine / my (gl) = Yhim
* Yours / Your (m subject) = Tanam
* Yours / Your (f subject) = Takam
* Yours / Your (gl subject) = Tagam
* His / its = He’em
* Hers = She’em
* (Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’em
* Ours / Our = Jim
* Theirs / Their = Fum

These new slang version also affect Reflexive forms. Let’s take a look.

* Myself (M speaker) = Poms’telf
* Myself (F speaker) = Lams’telf
* Myself (GL speaker) = Yhims’telf
* Yourself (M subject) = Tanams’telf
* Yourself / Yourselves (F subject / Plural You) = Takams’telf / Takams’telv’tes
* Yourself (GL subject) = Tagams’telf
* Ourselves = Jims’telv’tes
* Themselves = Fums’telv’tes
* Himself = He’ems’emaolf
* Herself = She’ems’emaolf
* Itself = Ye’ems‘emaolf

And those are the differences in the slang, casual version of the River Miqo’te Language. Remember, you will be considered a bit ruder when using this form due to the abruptness of the language, and also for the lack of Polite Particles.

<big>'''Language Culture'''</big>

Languages have a culture in of itself. With such a wide range of Seekers of the Sun, Keepers of the Moon, and other races who’ve learned the River DIalect, there are certain things that have to be mentioned in order to understand the whole language beyond the basics. Culture plays a huge factor in a way someone speaks, and with such a heavily gender focused language, we should talk about how some people feel towards gender. In this cast, gay men, lesbian women, transgender, or Gender fluid. In a similar way as some English speakers refer to each other or themselves by the identifying gender, River Dialect does the same.

A gay Miqo’te man referring to himself as “Lai” is not uncommon to hear. He would also not mind if being referred to as “Shen“ or “T’kai.” In the same sense, you may find him speaking to you with the feminine Polite Particle. By using the female forms of pronouns and using the female Polite Particle, he is feminizing himself, and is clearly open about his sexuality. More masculine gay men tend not to use the female forms when speaking. Some Gay men interchange their pronouns and polite particles often; depending on the group he is socializing with. On the other side of the same coin, Lesbian women who wish to masculinize themselves will use “Pao” when speaking about themselves, and would not mind being referred to as “Hen” or “T’nao.” A lesbian Miqo’te woman may also use the Polite Partle “Ruu sai,” however, this is less common than gay men using the Polite Particle “Len sai.” Females are the dominant gender in most Miqo’te populations, and often will take pride in that.

If you are speaking to a gay teenager who uses the slang versions of words, you may hear him or her use the opposite gender forms of the slang versions. If an individual identifies as Gender FLuid, they may continue to use gender neutral conjugations, or use all of them. Gender plays such a big part in the River language that a masculine man using the female forms is seen as humorous. River Dialect speaking drag queens take advantage of this humor by using the female forms in a high pitch voice, and then suddenly switching into a low tone and using masculine slang.

The last thing we will talk about is the impolite particle, or in other words, how to cuss in River Dialect. It is very simple to cuss in this language because all you have to do is end your sentence or word with the particle “Waa loi” and it will come off as insulting. The word “Waa loi” in ancient days was used to curse other‘s health, and fortune, and to wish them death. This superstition dates back farther than the River Dialect’s written word. To this day, the word “Waa loi” can be used by itself as a general cuss word, as a sentence ender to denote hatred, and basically, a way to have people not like you. Placing “Waa loi” at the end of your sentence when speaking with someone means you consider them your enemy, similar to if an English speaker referred to someone as a worthless bitch while talking to them. Sibling rivals are known to use “waa loi” when speaking to each other. In jest or in seriousness, others hearing this would look down at the language in public places.

'''Pimrhi Dia''' (PIM-REE DEE-UH), was once a kind and powerful Seer connected to the Echo, however, after the Calamity when she lost her husband and two children, her mind shattered. She is now a frail, and weakened woman who has started to practice dark void magic as a way to harness her grief. It's caused her to develop masochistic, and sadistic tendencies and a certain affinity for things related to death. Mixed with her mental instability and clairvoyance, her dark arts have made her an unpredictable ally/enemy to many. Pimrhi Dia is a character on the Balmung Server.

==The Character==

The first thing most people notice about the Seer, Pimrhi, is her thin, frail frame. Not even her ragged, tatter black robes can hide how emaciated she looks. She is malnourished, and looks to be very weak almost to the point of collapse. Her breath is always short and strained as if she were having trouble getting enough air. She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

The second thing most observers notice about this woman is her severe mental instability. She constantly seems lost in her own world in which she comments on regularly in a childlike manner. Being a Seer connected to the Echo, she has the gift of passively viewing possible outcomes of the future. These visions mixed with her delusions and insanity often times confuses those around her when she speaks. She frequently talks in riddles, and rhymes of the things she sees. Pimrhi has a particular fondness for liars, murderers, and thieves. She often makes comparisons between secrets, pain, and death to sweet tastes, warm feelings, or pleasant music. Many people find her unnerving not due to her power, but to her complete lack of remorse, and enjoyment of causing pain.

==Pre-Calamity History==

Pimrhi was one of the oldest children of Aran Dia and Ehtni'a Spihran, and older sister to [[Aran'sae Dia]]. Pimrhi had a very nice childhood. With so many children in her family, she grew to be very reliant on social interactions, but with a splash of independence. After all, with so many siblings, one had to learn very quickly to hold your own. She often cared for her younger siblings when her parents were not present. She felt very close to her brothers and sisters even when some of them moved away to pursue their own lives; such as her youngest brother Aran'sae who eventually became a Hearer. Some time after this, Pimrhi discovered she too possessed a gift. Clairvoyance. It was this ability that allowed her to see her future. She would become a great healer one day. Pimrhi had always been the type to care for others, and quickly embraced her gifts as a Seer in order to help others. This lead her to pursue a medical path in life. With plans to become a Physicker with a major in herbal remedies, she left home to live on her own. While finding her own life, and learning about medicine, she met a very smart, and charming Keeper Miqo'te named Gadaht'a who was training to be an Arcanist. He found her passion for medicine, and her special ability of the Echo, to be fascinating. The two fell in love quickly and married; eventually they had a son. Two years later, Pimrhi was expecting another son on the way.

Then came the Calamity. While 7 months pregnant with her second son, and trying to protect her older son and husband, the skies were lit with fire and came crashing down on their village. The town quickly started to evacuate to safer areas away from the fires that now erupted all around the forest. Gadaht'a tried to get his wife to safety, but perished in the flames. This was the first crack to her psyche. With all the smoke and ash in the air, Pimrhi couldn't see. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think past the grief of losing her husband. The young woman tried to make her way through the burning forest with the rest of the evacuees, but succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed out with her 2 year old son in her arms as the fires crept towards them. She woke up hours later from the pain all around her body. She was covered in burns, and was severely injured. A healer in the group of evacuees who pulled Pimrhi to safety, tried to mend her and her child's wounds, but he could not save the 2 year old boy. Pimrhi's baby died in his mother's arms. This broke her already distressed mental state. With only her and her unborn son left alive, she pulled herself to her feet with the help of the other villagers, and made their continued escape from the chaos. Days later, through the stress, injuries, and physical burden, she miscarried. What was left of her already damaged mind was swept away. Pimrhi fled from the villagers who were trying to care for her; taking the bodies of her two dead children with her. Her whereabouts after that went unknown and many assumed her dead.

==Post-Calamity==

Five years after the Calamity, late at night in Drybone Cemetery of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, a Roegadyn man named [[Mhastoum Greinsyn ]] happen to wander off after a funeral he had attended. Mhastoum strolled into an unkempt area of the cemetery where he was confronted by a dark figure. (WIP)

==River Dialect==

Miqo’te “River Dialect”

((OOC Note: Not much is known in-game about the Miqo’te Language besides it being very old. So, I invented my own Dialect of the Miqo’te Language. My version of the Language takes notes from Thai, Japanese, Spanish and English. I’ve created it to sound similar to the Miqo’te Naming conventions as much as possible.

Both Keepers of the Moon and Seekers of the Sun may know this River Dialect. The Dialect is not specific to a race, but to a geographic region. Miqo’te who grew up near a River are more likely to speak this dialect, but it’s not required. Some characters outside the Miqo’te culture such as Hyurs, Elezens, Ixals, etc, may know the basics of the language as well. Your character is free to learn this language if you like and if you think it fits your character’s story. Just please don’t alter or steal this work as your own.))

***River Language Lessons***

The first thing you need to learn is that this language is based off the English language’s vowels. In other words, River Dialect is partly a vowel substitution language. It is similar to a cipher, except that the only thing changed out are the vowels. What I mean by “partly a vowel substitution language,“ is there is another part of the language involving real conjugation of words based on pronouns, and possessiveness. Let’s begin with the six vowel substitutions before we explain the Pronouns.

Vowel Cipher:
A = ‘ahmi
E = ‘te
I = ‘isah
O= ‘to
U= ‘unha
Y= ‘yhamin

By substituting vowels with these phrases, including the apostrophe (Unless it‘s the first letter of the word), into English words, you will develop a whole new word that sounds like it came from a whole different language. Let’s see some examples, shall we?

School = Sch’to’tol

Did you catch onto the basics of Miqo’te River Dialect by looking over the examples? Now that we’ve covered all the vowel substitutions, let’s get on with the pronouns used in the language. The Language is heavily based on culture, and respect. If you’ve noticed, River Miqo’te Dialect has a sort of Asian feel to it, and like an Asian language the language is conjugated differently depending on the gender of the speaker. The following words do not follow the Vowel Substitution rules, and instead, the entire word is substituted out for its River Dialect counterpart.

Pronoun Cipher:
I / me (male speaker) = Pao
I / me (female speaker) = Lai
I / me (genderless) = Yhin
You (male subject) = T’nao
You (female subject) / You all (plural 2nd Person) = T’kai
You (genderless) = T’ghin
He / Him = Hen
She / Her = Shen
Genderless 3rd Person / It = Yem
We / Us= Jinh
They / Them= Funh

As you can see, if you are a male you will refer to yourself as “Pao“. If you are Female you will refer to yourself as “Lai.” If the 1st Person speaker is Genderless, they would use “Yhin.” If you are speaking directly to a male you refer to that person as “T’nao“. If you are directly speaking to a female you refer to her as “T’ghin“. If you are speaking to a male, you refer to him as “Hen“. If you are speaking to an identifying female, you use “Shen“. If you are speaking to a person, creature, or entity who is gender is unknown or fluid, you would refer to that person as Yem. Remember, just like in real life, using the wrong gender pronoun can be seen as insulting.

As you can see, the language is very gender focused. For a subject of unknown gender or for an inanimate object, River Dialect uses the all encompassing “Yem.” Yem would be used with things in nature such as trees, rivers, rocks, and the sky. “Yem” can also be used for objects like a cup, a house, etc. So “It” would become “Yem” in all cases where “Yem” is used. Speaking to a "you" of unknown gender, or a group of people of mixed genders, use the Genderless form “T’ghin“ as well. “T’kai” can be used when speaking of a plural “You” of females, however if there is one male present in the group of females, you would still use “T’kai.” Even if there is one female in a group of hundreds of males, the word “T’kai” would still be used when speaking to them as a group. “T’kai” is the standard “You all,” the 2nd Person Plural. It is considered polite. It could be called sexist by our standards, but real languages that are gender focused follow this rule as well, so for the sake of an authentic and cultural feel, we will follow this rule too. After all, females in the Miqo’te culture are more dominant and “important.”

Let’s see some examples with using the word “Love” which in River Dialect turns into “L’tov’te.”

I love you (M to F) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai.
I love you (M to GL) = Pao l’tov’te t’ghin.
I love you (F to M) = Lai l’tov’te t’nao.
I love you (F to GL) = Lai l’tov’te t’ghin.
I love you (GL to M) = Yhin l’tov’te t’nao.
I love you (GL to F) = Yhin l’tov’te t’kai.
I love you (M to M) = Pao l’tov’te t’nao.
I love you (F to F) = Lai l’tov’te t’kai.
I love you (GL to GL) = Yhin l’tov’te t’ghin.

You (M subject) love him = T’nao l’tov’te hen.
You (F subject) love him = T’kai l’tov’te hen.
You (GL subject) love him = T’ghin l’tov’te hen.
You (M subject) love her = T’nao l’tov’te shen.
You (F subject) love her = T’kai l’tov’te shen.
You (GL subject) love her = T’ghin l’tov’te shen.
You (M subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’nao l’tov’te yem.
You (F subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’kai l’tov’te yem.
You (GL subject) love (GL 3rd Person) = T’ghin l’tov’te yem

We love them = Jinh l’tov’te funh.
They love us = Funh l’tov’te jinh.
We love us = Jinh l’tov’te jinh.
They love them = Funh l’tov’te funh.

He loves you (M subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’nao.
He loves you (F subject) = Henl’tov’te t’kai.
He loves you (GL subject) = Hen l’tov’te t’ghin.
She loves you (M subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’nao.
She loves you (F subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai.
She loves you (GL subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’ghin.
(GL 3rd Person) loves you (M subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’nao.
(GL 3rd Person) loves you (F subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’kai.
(GL 3rd Person) loves you (GL subject) = Yem l’tov’te t’ghin.

I love you (M to plural subject) = Pao l’tov’te t’kai
She loves you (F subject to plural subject) = Shen l’tov’te t’kai
You love you (Plural subject to plural subject) = T’kai l’tov’te t’kai

As well as being a heavily gender focused language, the language is also focused on respect with the use of a Polite Particle at the end of the sentence. A Polite Particle is a word said at the end of the sentence to denote calmness, and thoughtfulness. In other words, by omitting the Polite Particle, your sentence will come off as abrupt, rude, or even be considered by others as you cussing. Males and females have different Polite Particles used after every sentence.

Polite Particles:
Male Speaker’s Polite Particle = Ruu Sai
Female Speaker’s Polite Particle = Len Sai
Formal Speaker’s Polite Particle = Sai

Individuals who identify as Genderless or Gender Fluid would use the more formal “Sai” ; omitting Ruu or Len completely. In formal occasions such as speaking to one’s boss, or teacher, you would use “Sai” ; omitting the Ruu or Len as well. Polite Particles can be omitted when speaking to those you feel as your peers, friends, and family, but be careful. If you feel you can be casual with your teacher, and omit the polite particle when speaking with your teacher because you feel close to him or her, your teacher may not feel the same way, and may feel as if you were being rude, disrespectful, and low class. A safe bet when speaking to those outside your circle of close friends and siblings around the same age, is always use a Polite Particle. Age plays a large factor in the Polite Particle usage. If the person you are speaking to is older than you or of a higher rank, it’s safe to bet you will use the Formal Polite Particle.

Before we see some examples of Polite Particles in use, let’s discuss possessive forms like “My cat,” “Her Sword,” and “Their Eel Pie.” You take the pronoun and add the Miqo’te River Dialect word “ ‘ma” directly to the end of the word (apostrophe and all) to form the River versions of Mine, My, Yours, Your, Theirs, Their, Ours, Our, Hers and His.

Possessive Form = ‘ma

Mine / My (m) = Pao'ma
Mine / My (f) = Lai'ma
Mine / My (gl) = Yhin’ma
Yours / Your (m subject) = T’nao’ma
Yours / Your (f subject / plural you) = T’kai’ma
Yours / Your (gl subject) = T’ghin’ma
His = Hen'ma
Hers / Her = Shen'ma
(GL 3rd Person Possessive) / Its = Yem’ma
Ours / Our = Jinh'ma
Theirs / Their = Funh'ma

With the use of Proper Nouns such as a name of a person, place, or thing, you would follow the same rule, and place " 'ma " at the end of the Proper Noun.

For example, the sentence "Pimrhi’s baby is adorable!" would be translated into: "Pimrhi’ma isahs ahmid’tor’ahmibl’te!”

Let’s talk about Reflexive Pronouns. Now here is the tricky part that combines a few rules so you’ll have to think about the word carefully. Words like Myself, Yourself, Yourselves, Ourselves, Themselves, Himself, Herself and Itself will combine many rules from the River DIalect. Not only do you have to think of the proper pronoun, but also the gender, the subject, and the possessiveness. Here is what each word would look like.

Reflexive Pronouns
Myself (M speaker) = Pao’mas’telf
Myself (F speaker) = Lai’mas’telf
Myself (GL speaker) = Yhin’mas’telf
Yourself (M subject) = T’nao’mas’telf
Yourself (F subject) = T’kai’mas’telf
Yourself (GL subject) = T’ghin’mas’telf
Yourselves (Plural subject) = T’kai’mas’telv’tes
Ourselves = Jinh’mas’telv’tes
Themselves = Funh’mas’telv’tes
Himself = Hen’mas’telf
Herself = Shen’mas’telf
(GL 3rd Person Reflexive) / Itself = Yem‘mas‘telf

Now let’s see some examples now of Polite particles, and more Possessive forms.

That is my hat (M speaker) =
Th’ahmit isahs pao’ma h’ahmit, ruu sai.

My hat is on your head (GL speaker to F subject) =
Yem’ma h’ahmit isahs ton t’kai’ma h’te’ahmid, sai.

This hat is mine. It is not yours. (F speaker to GL subject) =
Th’isahs h’ahmit isahs lai’ma. Yem isahs n’tot t’ghin’ma, len sai.

The hat belongs to them. It is theirs (Formal speaker)=
Th’te h’ahmit b’tel’tongs t’to th’tem. Yem isahs funh’ma, sai

The Hat’s button fell off (F speaker)=
Th’te h’ahmit’ma b’uhnatt’ton f’tell toff, len sai.

Aran’sae’s mother's hat is better. It tastes great. (M speaker) =
Aran’sae’ma m’toth’ter’ma h’ahmit isahs b’tett’ter, ruu sai. Yem t’ahmist’tes gr’te’ahmit, ruu sai.

The apostrophe is used a lot in this language to denote a small breath, or an intake of air. It’s a very calm language so you will see the apostrophe used a lot. However, it is never used in the sense of contracting words. Contractions are vacant from the language completely. Words are never shortened. “Does not” never becomes “Doesn’t.” “Cannot” never becomes “Can’t.” “Let us” never becomes “Let’s.” Etc. You will also never see the Apostrophe used as a diacritic mark. Now let’s used everything we’ve learned so far about the River Miqo’te Dialect!

I love my sandwich! (m speaker) =
Pao l’tov’te pao’ma s’ahmindw’isahch, ruu sai!

She hates her dress. (f speaker) =

I ate three slices of Mother Miounne’s eel pie, hehehe! (f speaker)=

I want to go to Gridania in a subligar! (m speak)=

Thank you (gl speak to f)=
Th’ahmink t’kai, sai.

You are welcome (f speak to gl)=
T’ghin ahmir’te w’telc’tom’te, len sai.

As you can see, the word Dodo and Eel Pie are not translated into the Miqo’te River Dialect. Names for food, countries, places, cities, and people’s names in general are left alone since they are taken from other languages. Gridania, Thanalan, Gold Saucer, Vesper Bay, C’sansha, Naoh’ra and other proper nouns would all remain untouched. Words take from other languages are also not switched into River Dialect, such as: Costa del Sol, La Noscea, Château, Java, and rendezvous. You may also have noticed a few ruder or meaner sentences lack the polite particle in order to increase the intensity of the rude or excited sentence.

Now that we’ve gone over how to form this language, let’s return to the subject about words you will never ever see in the language. The letters of English Pronouns will never be ciphered into River Dialect. The word “it” will never be ciphered since “Yem“ is used. Names of people, places, things, and any other Proper Noun will not be ciphered. The Apostrophe mark will never be used to denote possessiveness of a subject, in a contraction, or used as a diacritic mark. Let’s see some examples of what you will never see. If you use these words or phrases, people who speak the River Miqo’te Dialect fluently will know you are still a beginner.

River Language No-No’s:

I (1st person) = Isah.
You (2nd person) = Yhamin’to’uhna
(These are Improper uses of “I” and “you.” They have no Gender distinction.
Use: Pao, Lai, Yhin, and T’nao, T’kai, T’ghin.)

Him = H’isahm
He = H’te
His = Hisahs
(Improper use of “Him”, “He” , and “His.” Use “Hen” and “Hen’ma” instead.)

Her = H’ter
Hers = H’ters
She = Sh’te
(Improper use of Pronouns “Her” “Hers” and “She.” Use “Shen“ and Shen’ma instead)

Them = Th’tem
They = Th’te’yhamin
(Use the word “Funh“ for all cases Them and They are used)

My = M’yhamin
Mine = M’isahn’te
(Possessiveness of the first person subject follow gender rules. “Pao’ma, Lai’ma, Yhin’ma”)

Your = yhamin’to’uhnar
(Possessiveness of second person follow gender rules. “T’nao’ma, T’kai’ma, T’ghin’ma”

Ivetta = Isahv’tett’ahmi
Mhastoum =Mh’ahmist’to’uhnam
Mipije Papije = M’isahp’isahj’te P’ahmip’isahj’te
Nathan = N’ahmith’ahmin
(Ivetta, Mhastoum, Mipije Papije, and Nathan are all people’s names and will not be ciphered)

V’yhaar’s / Yuyuni Yuni’s / Gogonegi’s / Va’rae / Ziv’ir’s
(Use “ ‘ma” to denote possessiveness for River Dialect.
V’yhaar’ma / Yuyuni Yuni’ma / Gogonegi’ma / Va’rae’ma / Ziv’ir’ma)

Gullwings = G’uhnallw’isahngs
Limsa Lominsa = L’isahms’ahmi L’tom’isahns’ahmi
Black Shroud = Bl’ahmick Shr’to’uhnad
(Proper Nouns: Gullwings is the name of a Free Company. Limsa Lominsa is a City, Black Shroud is a Province. These would not be translated into River Miqo’te language.)

Can’t = C’ahmin’t
Doesn’t = D’to’tesn’t
Let’s = L’tet’s
(Contractions like Can’t, Doesn’t, and Let’s will never appear in River Dialect. EVER.)

Miqo’te River Dialect: Advanced Level.
Slang, Culture differences, and River Dialect Alphabet

Welcome to the Advanced level of the River Dialect. This section is for those of you who feel comfortable enough to start using slang or want to know more about the written language of the River Miqo’tes.
Like all languages, there is a formal way to speak and a casual way of speaking that involves slang. Normally younger people or people who are of a more casual lifestyle like artists, hospitality industry workers, and laborers use River slang. Teenagers are renowned for their usage of slang so when speaking to a young Miqo’te who speaks River Dialect, expect to see a lot of these new, “hip” language rules.

Slang Pronoun Cipher:
I / me (male speaker) = Po
I / me (female speaker) = La
I / me (genderless speaker) = Yhi
You (male subject) = Tana
You (female subject) = Taka
You (genderless subject) = Taga
He / Him= He’en
She / Her = She’en
(Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’en
We / Us= Ji
They / Them= Fu

As you can see the first person versions of Pao and Lai are shortened to Po and La. Miqo’te teenagers who speak RIver Dialect, and casual speakers use a more abrupt tone when referring to themselves. The same rule applies to the word “You” in both gender forms. “T’nao” turns into “Tana” and “T’kai” turns into just “Taka.“ “T’ghin” turns into “Taga.” Teenagers who use these altered forms normally speaker faster, and often leave out the polite particle since they perceive everything as being casual with no regard to age differences. This causes a lot of arguments in households where the children speak to their elders with slang. You can also use this slang version to sound ruder. Gangsters, tough individuals, and criminals will often use this type of language rule as well. School children get punished for using this type of language with their teachers.

Possessiveness also changes when using River slang. The normal way to denote possessiveness is to add “ ‘ma” to the pronoun or subject. However, in River slang, the apostrophe and the letter “A” is dropped. What is left is just the “M” which is placed at the end of the pronoun or subject as part of the word. However, for second and third person forms, the “M” will replace the “N” at the end of the word. This is seen as being “Cooler” sounding, similar to how English speaking teenagers will replace the “S” for a “Z” in words such as foodz, toyz, and lawlz for fun.

Slang Possessive Form

Mine / My (m) = Pom
Mine / My (f) = Lam
Mine / my (gl) = Yhim
Yours / Your (m subject) = Tanam
Yours / Your (f subject) = Takam
Yours / Your (gl subject) = Tagam
His / its = He’em
Hers = She’em
(Genderless 3rd person) / It = Ye’em
Ours / Our = Jim
Theirs / Their = Fum

These new slang version also affect Reflexive forms. Let’s take a look.

Myself (M speaker) = Poms’telf
Myself (F speaker) = Lams’telf
Myself (GL speaker) = Yhims’telf
Yourself (M subject) = Tanams’telf
Yourself / Yourselves (F subject / Plural You) = Takams’telf / Takams’telv’tes
Yourself (GL subject) = Tagams’telf
Ourselves = Jims’telv’tes
Themselves = Fums’telv’tes
Himself = He’ems’emaolf
Herself = She’ems’emaolf
Itself = Ye’ems‘emaolf

And those are the differences in the slang, casual version of the River Miqo’te Language. Remember, you will be considered a bit ruder when using this form due to the abruptness of the language, and also for the lack of Polite Particles.

Language Culture

Languages have a culture in of itself. With such a wide range of Seekers of the Sun, Keepers of the Moon, and other races who’ve learned the River DIalect, there are certain things that have to be mentioned in order to understand the whole language beyond the basics. Culture plays a huge factor in a way someone speaks, and with such a heavily gender focused language, we should talk about how some people feel towards gender. In this cast, gay men, lesbian women, transgender, or Gender fluid. In a similar way as some English speakers refer to each other or themselves by the identifying gender, River Dialect does the same.

A gay Miqo’te man referring to himself as “Lai” is not uncommon to hear. He would also not mind if being referred to as “Shen“ or “T’kai.” In the same sense, you may find him speaking to you with the feminine Polite Particle. By using the female forms of pronouns and using the female Polite Particle, he is feminizing himself, and is clearly open about his sexuality. More masculine gay men tend not to use the female forms when speaking. Some Gay men interchange their pronouns and polite particles often; depending on the group he is socializing with. On the other side of the same coin, Lesbian women who wish to masculinize themselves will use “Pao” when speaking about themselves, and would not mind being referred to as “Hen” or “T’nao.” A lesbian Miqo’te woman may also use the Polite Partle “Ruu sai,” however, this is less common than gay men using the Polite Particle “Len sai.” Females are the dominant gender in most Miqo’te populations, and often will take pride in that.

If you are speaking to a gay teenager who uses the slang versions of words, you may hear him or her use the opposite gender forms of the slang versions. If an individual identifies as Gender FLuid, they may continue to use gender neutral conjugations, or use all of them. Gender plays such a big part in the River language that a masculine man using the female forms is seen as humorous. River Dialect speaking drag queens take advantage of this humor by using the female forms in a high pitch voice, and then suddenly switching into a low tone and using masculine slang.

The last thing we will talk about is the impolite particle, or in other words, how to cuss in River Dialect. It is very simple to cuss in this language because all you have to do is end your sentence or word with the particle “Waa loi” and it will come off as insulting. The word “Waa loi” in ancient days was used to curse other‘s health, and fortune, and to wish them death. This superstition dates back farther than the River Dialect’s written word. To this day, the word “Waa loi” can be used by itself as a general cuss word, as a sentence ender to denote hatred, and basically, a way to have people not like you. Placing “Waa loi” at the end of your sentence when speaking with someone means you consider them your enemy, similar to if an English speaker referred to someone as a worthless bitch while talking to them. Sibling rivals are known to use “waa loi” when speaking to each other. In jest or in seriousness, others hearing this would look down at the language in public places.

'''Pimrhi Dia''' (PIM-REE DEE-UH), was once a kind and powerful Seer connected to the Echo, however, after the Calamity when she lost her husband and two children, her mind shattered. She is now a frail, and weakened woman who has started to practice dark void magic as a way to harness her grief. It's caused her to develop masochistic, and sadistic tendencies and a certain affinity for things related to death. Mixed with her mental instability and clairvoyance, her dark arts have made her an unpredictable ally/enemy to many. Pimrhi Dia is a character on the Balmung Server.

==The Character==

The first thing most people notice about the Seer, Pimrhi, is her thin, frail frame. Not even her ragged, tatter black robes can hide how emaciated she looks. She is malnourished, and looks to be very weak almost to the point of collapse. Her breath is always short and strained as if she were having trouble getting enough air. She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

The second thing most observers notice about this woman is her severe mental instability. She constantly seems lost in her own world in which she comments on regularly in a childlike manner. Being a Seer connected to the Echo, she has the gift of passively viewing possible outcomes of the future. These visions mixed with her delusions and insanity often times confuses those around her when she speaks. She frequently talks in riddles, and rhymes of the things she sees. Pimrhi has a particular fondness for liars, murderers, and thieves. She often makes comparisons between secrets, pain, and death to sweet tastes, warm feelings, or pleasant music. Many people find her unnerving not due to her power, but to her complete lack of remorse, and enjoyment of causing pain.

==Pre-Calamity History==

Pimrhi was one of the oldest children of Aran Dia and Ehtni'a Spihran, and older sister to [[Aran'sae Dia]]. Pimrhi had a very nice childhood. With so many children in her family, she grew to be very reliant on social interactions, but with a splash of independence. After all, with so many siblings, one had to learn very quickly to hold your own. She often cared for her younger siblings when her parents were not present. She felt very close to her brothers and sisters even when some of them moved away to pursue their own lives; such as her youngest brother Aran'sae who eventually became a Hearer. Some time after this, Pimrhi discovered she too possessed a gift. Clairvoyance. It was this ability that allowed her to see her future. She would become a great healer one day. Pimrhi had always been the type to care for others, and quickly embraced her gifts as a Seer in order to help others. This lead her to pursue a medical path in life. With plans to become a Physicker with a major in herbal remedies, she left home to live on her own. While finding her own life, and learning about medicine, she met a very smart, and charming Keeper Miqo'te named Gadaht'a who was training to be an Arcanist. He found her passion for medicine, and her special ability of the Echo, to be fascinating. The two fell in love quickly and married; eventually they had a son. Two years later, Pimrhi was expecting another son on the way.

Then came the Calamity. While 7 months pregnant with her second son, and trying to protect her older son and husband, the skies were lit with fire and came crashing down on their village. The town quickly started to evacuate to safer areas away from the fires that now erupted all around the forest. Gadaht'a tried to get his wife to safety, but perished in the flames. This was the first crack to her psyche. With all the smoke and ash in the air, Pimrhi couldn't see. She couldn't breath. She couldn't think past the grief of losing her husband. The young woman tried to make her way through the burning forest with the rest of the evacuees, but succumbed to smoke inhalation and passed out with her 2 year old son in her arms as the fires crept towards them. She woke up hours later from the pain all around her body. She was covered in burns, and was severely injured. A healer in the group of evacuees who pulled Pimrhi to safety, tried to mend her and her child's wounds, but he could not save the 2 year old boy. Pimrhi's baby died in his mother's arms. This broke her already distressed mental state. With only her and her unborn son left alive, she pulled herself to her feet with the help of the other villagers, and made their continued escape from the chaos. Days later, through the stress, injuries, and physical burden, she miscarried. What was left of her already damaged mind was swept away. Pimrhi fled from the villagers who were trying to care for her; taking the bodies of her two dead children with her. Her whereabouts after that went unknown and many assumed her dead.

==Post-Calamity==

Five years after the Calamity, late at night in Drybone Cemetery of the Church of Saint Adama Landama, a Roegadyn man named [[Mhastoum Greinsyn ]] happen to wander off after a funeral he had attended. Mhastoum strolled into an unkempt area of the cemetery where he was confronted by a dark figure. (WIP)

She will normally avoid eye contact with others; not due to shyness, but because she has difficulty seeing. She is completely blind in her right eye which is a foggy white, and partially blind in her left eye which is mostly black. Her hair is matted and dirty with ashes, dried blood, and caked on mud. One could hardly tell she had raven hair to begin with. Her skin is pale, and dirty with many cuts and scars all over her body. Due to her ill paleness, many people can seen the blue veins that lay beneath her skin. These veins often glow when she uses her magic.

== The Character ==
</p><p>Living in complete solitude in the Shroud, Naoh'ra spent most of his time deep in study and practising Thautamurgy. He used to be a minstrel of sorts, so he says, and carries song and poetry with him always. He can sometimes be caught singing, though it isn't often.
</p><p>He had no family that he lives with, and rarely brings them up, and when he does he simply says that sickness had gotten a hold of them and they just died.
</p><p>Naoh'ra had lived in Thanalan with a Seeker tribe, the Lynx, for a short while. It was strange as all hell but still he welcomed the help they offered when he had gotten hurt and learned quite a deal about Seekers in general. He has adopted some of the tribes mannerisms, such as forehead knocking as a sign of respect and trust.
</p><p>He is a bit of an odd Keeper of the Moon, as if he hasn't been one for long.
</p><p>More recently he has taken up residence in the Gullwings Home, though sometimes he'll stay at the Thaumaturgy guild simply because he fell asleep at a book.

== Menphina the Lover ==
</p><p>Naoh'ra takes solace under Menphina's light. He used to be an avid worshiper of Azeyma, but feels that she mocks him by hurting his eyes and blinding him in the daylight he used to enjoy. So, he turned to Menphina for company and guidance in his new life. He's still learning of her and figuring out how exactly he feels about her, but he loves her like a Seeker loves the sun.

== Thaumaturgy ==
Naoh'ra has recently taken up the art of Thaumaturgy to prepare the dead. He is apprenticing under a Hyur in the Church near Drybone. He works very hard at it, and aspires to be good at what he does as there aren't many around who take on this type of work.
</p><p>He wanted to learn this art, but didn't want to use it as a deadly force to kill others and instead went along the older path of using the skill to prepare the dead. What he does is he massages oils into the body to cover the smell of death, and then using spell weaving he cools the body to a temperature near frozen, where decomposition stops. If the body is too stiff, he'll zap it with a quick jolt of lightning to loosen the joints, and in the case of cremation-- well, incineration and fire.
</p><p>While he is not far from learning the basics and finding his own way with it, he still resides as an apprentice and is fine tuning his craft.

== Combat ==
While Naoh'ra typically uses magic, at home he hunts with only a bow and arrow.
</p><p>He has a superb sense of hearing and scent, as well as balance. He only has good vision in the pitch darkness of night, however, and any bright lights at all, even when exposed for long periods of time hurts his eyes and he can't see a thing.
== Relationships ==
</p><p>'''Positive:'''
*[[X'tai Tia]]: They've spoken a few times in the Quicksand while Naoh'ra was trying to get into the Thaumaturge guild, and from time to time he'll bump into him in ul'dah. They joke around a lot and he really enjoys the seekers company, even though he doesn't really like his brother.
*[[Mhastoum Greinsyn]]: After sucking up both his pride and embarrassment, he had shared a brief story about how he lost his leg and allowed the Roegadyn to help soothe the hurt in his leg and wrap it up after a bath. He greatly enjoyed the time, and left feeling comforted both emotionally and physically. He holds a great deal of respect for him, and hopes they can continue to take baths together to relax and just enjoy someone's company for once.
*[[X'vett Nunh]]: Naoh'ra really enjoyed their company together for the short time they had spent together. Around the time he lost his leg, he found he couldn't hunt and having known the Lynx tribe in the Shroud before it had split, he sought their help and lived with them for a couple of moons. He formed a close friendship with Vett and misses him dearly.

</p><p>'''Neutral:'''
*[[C'sanhsa Tia]]: He doesn't particularly dislike or like him. He finds him strangely happy, and it bugs him but he views him as more annoying than a negative person to be around.
*[[Lolohala Memehala]]: While they have only spent a brief time together, Naoh'ra is quite intrigued by the Lalafellen man and hopes that he'll be able to learn quite a bit from him while he studies in the Thaumaturgy guild.

</p><p>'''Negative:'''
*[[K'ovu Tia]]: X'tai's brother. Dude literally stole his leg and blew it up with a firework, calls him names and kicks his crutches out from under him, then stabbed him. Naoh'ra dislikes him greatly.

</p><p>'''Romantic or otherwise:'''
*[[Aran'sae Dia]]: Naoh'ra views him romantically, even though they 'don't know each other'.

== Disability and Physical Limitations ==
Naoh'ra lost his left leg from the mid thigh down due to a run in with a cannibal.He paid a hefty fine for a blacksmith to fashion him a new leg that was lightweight and functional, as well as easy to hide. He took some time to pretty it up to make himself feel better, figuring that if it was more ascetically pleasing it wouldn't be as depressing. He can still feel his leg there from time to time, and will often scratch and itch or try to move his toes, which brings him near to tears when he is reminded his leg isn't there.
</p><p>Due to the severity of the injury Naoh'ra has a hard time running and keeping up with others, and needs to take his time when walking or simply standing up. He is pretty prone to falls if he puts too much weight on the leg, though most often it's simply because the knee either locked up or didn't straighten out before he took his step and he just falls over.
</p><p>Some days are better than others pain wise. It's either a constant annoyance, or agony. It tends to hurt the most at the end of the day after he's traveled or walked around a little more than he should have, or if he took a tumble down some stairs (again.)but most often he can cover it up and carry on his day.
</p><p>More recently, his prosthetic had been blown up by K'ovu, and he just doesn't have a leg there any more. He gets around with a crutch, and most often covers up the fact there is no leg there by wearing loose skirts.

== Tiny facts ==
*He can't see very well in the day light or even indoors if it's brightly lit and often wears shaded spectacles. It physically hurts to be in bright area's and he will more often than not choose not to be there.
*He has a happy little piglet that follows him around. Or, should I say baby behemoth? He never asked for this, it just won't leave him alone.
*He has a couple body piercings.
*He always wears a ribbon with a red rose on his wrist, saying it's from an old mate of his. He also wears various necklaces from children.
*At the end of the day he's crankier than in the early times he's awake. He gets angry when in pain.

== Relationships and Sexuality ==
Naoh'ra is demisexual, not experiencing sexual attraction to anyone until a romantic or emotional bond is formed between the two of them. Race, sex, gender expression and so on make no difference to him in his attraction to someone, as personality and just 'clicking' with someone is far more important to him.
</p><p>He craves romance, but he doesn't pursue it. He's nervous to try anything anyway and isn't overly bold in his approaches. He hopes to one day have a mate find him, but won't actively look.

== The Character ==
</p><p>Living in complete solitude in the Shroud, Naoh'ra spent most of his time deep in study and practising Thautamurgy. He used to be a minstrel of sorts, so he says, and carries song and poetry with him always. He can sometimes be caught singing, though it isn't often.
</p><p>He had no family that he lives with, and rarely brings them up, and when he does he simply says that sickness had gotten a hold of them and they just died.
</p><p>Naoh'ra had lived in Thanalan with a Seeker tribe, the Lynx, for a short while. It was strange as all hell but still he welcomed the help they offered when he had gotten hurt and learned quite a deal about Seekers in general. He has adopted some of the tribes mannerisms, such as forehead knocking as a sign of respect and trust.
</p><p>He is a bit of an odd Keeper of the Moon, as if he hasn't been one for long.
</p><p>More recently he has taken up residence in the Gullwings Home, though sometimes he'll stay at the Thaumaturgy guild simply because he fell asleep at a book.

== Menphina the Lover ==
</p><p>Naoh'ra takes solace under Menphina's light. He used to be an avid worshiper of Azeyma, but feels that she mocks him by hurting his eyes and blinding him in the daylight he used to enjoy. So, he turned to Menphina for company and guidance in his new life. He's still learning of her and figuring out how exactly he feels about her, but he loves her like a Seeker loves the sun.

== Thaumaturgy ==
Naoh'ra has recently taken up the art of Thaumaturgy to prepare the dead. He is apprenticing under a Hyur in the Church near Drybone. He works very hard at it, and aspires to be good at what he does as there aren't many around who take on this type of work.
</p><p>He wanted to learn this art, but didn't want to use it as a deadly force to kill others and instead went along the older path of using the skill to prepare the dead. What he does is he massages oils into the body to cover the smell of death, and then using spell weaving he cools the body to a temperature near frozen, where decomposition stops. If the body is too stiff, he'll zap it with a quick jolt of lightning to loosen the joints, and in the case of cremation-- well, incineration and fire.
</p><p>While he is not far from learning the basics and finding his own way with it, he still resides as an apprentice and is fine tuning his craft.

== Combat ==
While Naoh'ra typically uses magic, at home he hunts with only a bow and arrow.
</p><p>He has a superb sense of hearing and scent, as well as balance. He only has good vision in the pitch darkness of night, however, and any bright lights at all, even when exposed for long periods of time hurts his eyes and he can't see a thing.
== Relationships ==
</p><p>'''Positive:'''
*[[X'tai Tia]]: They've spoken a few times in the Quicksand while Naoh'ra was trying to get into the Thaumaturge guild, and from time to time he'll bump into him in ul'dah. They joke around a lot and he really enjoys the seekers company, even though he doesn't really like his brother.

Around the time he lost his leg, he found he couldn't hunt and having known the Lynx tribe in the Shroud before it had split, he sought their help and lived with them for a couple of moons. He formed a close friendship with Vett and misses him dearly.

*[[Lolohala Memehala]]: While they have only spent a brief time together, Naoh'ra is quite intrigued by the Lalafellen man and hopes that he'll be able to learn quite a bit from him while he studies in the Thaumaturgy guild.

==The Character==

==Pre-Calamity History==
The History of X'vhana Vett starts with the circumstances of her birth. Long before she was born, her mother, X'leelha Shoka, had this deep desire for a child. X'leelha felt she was getting older and older and still she had not birthed a child with any Nunh. The reason why she waited to have a child was because she had a strong dislike, and in some cases, a deep hatred, for most of the males in her tribe. X'leelha outright refused to mix her blood with any of those males to create a child. After several years of resentment towards the adult males, a rare opportunity arose in X'vett Tia. Vett was a young, inexperienced male, however, he had potential. Leelha coaxed one of X'vett's friends into daring the young man to challenge a current Nunh at the time. By a stroke of luck, and some sly interfering on X'leelha's part, the young 15 year old X'vett Tia, had defeated the Nunh, and became one of the tribe's newest breeding males. So, on that very same night of X'vett's victory, the much older X'leelha hunted X'vett down, and mated with the teenager. Leelha knew the youngster wouldn't hold the Nunh title for long. As she predicted, the 15 year old X'vett was challenged and defeated the next day, and lost his position. However, Leelha had already gotten what she came for. She was pregnant with "X'vett Nunh", and she would have a child with a male she did not despise. Unlike other females of her tribe, X'leelha was very anti-social and self-secluded; especially after all the rumours of her manipulative nature. Leelha prefered to hunt, fish, gather and live on her own with her child, Vhana; though they stayed within the Tribe's territories just in case. Rarely did X'leelha help or ask for help of the others in her tribe. In fact, Leelha was often times considered hostile and abrasive towards other tribe members; except for X'vett, who she often greeted with a soft nod, or an occasional gift of a small share of her hunt.

Because of her mother's odd nature and devious reputation, when X'vhana Vett was a young child, she didn't have many friends due to the other mothers keeping their children away from her. X'vhana was the daughter of a cold loner Female and a young man who was only Nunh for a day. The gossip was rich at the time. X'vhana faced a lot of prejudice due to the circumstances of her birth. However, she grew up happy. Her mother was a great hunter, so X'vhana never went hungry and her mother was always with her so she was never lonely. When her mother was out hunting, Vhana would safely stay where she was put until her mother returned. Or, she would sometimes get the treat of being given to X'vett for the day, though this was very rare occasion.

X'vhana was 7 years old when the Calamity struck. Due to her mother's quick thinking, and vast knowledge of the landscape, X'leelha and X'vhana hid in a deep cave in Southern Thanalan. They survived the world shattering event while many of the tribe did not.

==Post-Calamity==
After the calamity, X'vhana and her mother lived a more nomadic lifestyle without the support of a large tribe. Something more reminiscent of a Keeper of the Moon. This lifestyle was fine, however things would not always be this way. It was when X'vhana became 12 years old did she begin to crave the company of others more than just her mother, and explore the world for its other cultures, and especially its cuisine. She wanted to become a chef. As all children do, she began to grow up into her own person. X'leelha did not like the idea of being separated from her daughter, however, she supported this newly found independence in Vhana, and allowed the girl to travel. However, there was one condition. X'leelha told X'vhana to seek out her father, X'vett, who she had heard had not only survived the Calamity, but also had grown up into a strong, and caring man. If X'vhana wanted to travel, she'd have to do so not only under the guidance of her mother, but also her father. So, her mission right now, is to find her father, and learn from him all that she can about life, the world, and how to be a good person. And, on her life journey, maybe she'll pick up some good recipes along the way.

==Baseline Information==

'''Server''': Balmung

'''Pronunciation''': Mahss-tomb Grine-sin

'''Height''': 7'6"

'''Eyes''': Jade

'''Hair''': Grey

'''Status''': Single

'''Sexuality''': Hasn't really given much thought to it.

'''Appearance''': Mhastoum stands proud and tall over his Free Company, often seen with his hands on his hips, chest proudly puffed out. Previously, he had been seen in midnight blue gauntlets and greaves paired with blue-and-grey shawl and loincloth. Now, he clads himself in ashen grey armour from head to toe, armed with the steel broadsword that ran him through. The Roegadyn's oddly-wrinkled face and greyed hair shows age beyond his years. A swipe of dark grey warpaint lines the underside his right eye, more for show than anything practical.

==History==

Mhastoum spent most of his young life in a small village outside Limsa Lominsa working under his father as a fisherman. When the Calamity struck, his father perished along with the land. Forced to seek refuge in Lominsa for two years, Mhastoum suffered as many others had due to Dalamud's fall. Two years was enough - he set foot for Ul'dah, hoping to find better conditions there. He would have been wrong, had he not happened upon an elderly Lalafell lady: Jojoka Joka. He escorted her back to the city, where she took him in. It was unnecessary, but Jojoka enjoyed the company. The journey to his new home had awakened a desire within him - to protect others. To protect them as he could not protect his parents, could not protect his friends, could not protect himself.

For the next three years, Mhastoum studied at the Gladiator's Guild. Under Jojoka's tutelage as well, the Roegadyn quickly learned the art of the sword and shield. He thought he was ready to protect those he cares for. Or, at least, approaching being ready. It was only three years of training, after all.

The excitement of his newfound goal in life led to him adopting his 'heroic' persona, pridefully strutting around Ul'dah for the sake of the Gullwings. This hubris was short-lived, as a quick sojourn to a dangerous artifact left Celiana Snow (a young Hyur Gullwings researcher) dead and Mhastoum gouged right through the abdomen. Since that day, Mhastoum has strived to atone for his grievous mistake, but his resolve is obviously shaken.

==Personality==

After being solely responsible for the death of Miss Snow, Mhastoum has changed. He carries himself much more reservedly now. Shaken by the extent of his hubris, the gladiator has re-routed his efforts from being showy and glamorous to simply being the protector he wanted himself to be. Brooding and angsty he is not, but he will likely think twice about striking up conversation or doing anything other than dedicating himself to making sure everyone he cares about is safe and protected. Any chat with him is likely to be curt and tense unless in a completely safe and quiet environment where he can ease off his guard a little.

Previously
----
Quiet. Shy. Reserved. Modest. None of these words describe the bombastic nature of Mhastoum Greinsyn. Bold, brash and ready for action, this Roegadyn is ready to do whatever it takes in the name of exploration, glory and friendship! No matter who or what you are, you will not escape the companionship of this stalwart Sea Wolf once you've struck up conversation. Unless you threaten the sanctity of his precious Gullwings, of course, then things are going to sour real fast. To the average person, however, Mhastoum might come off as a little ''too'' eager or forward. His attitude might even seem a caricature of heroes of legend rather than how someone might actually act.
----
===Relationships===

== Free Company ==

First and foremost, Mhastoum is allied with The Gullwings. This is where his full loyalty and dedication lies. He is also technically allied with Ul'dah by proxy of citizenship, but his allegiance is undoubtedly with his Free Company.

'''[http://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Aran%27sae_Dia Aran'sae Dia]''': His most trusted leader of the Gullwings. Though stern and not easily excitable, Mhastoum holds high regard for his leader, and would do whatever was asked of him. The trust placed in him likewise was shaken by recent events. Mhastoum hopes that Aran'sae can forgive and trust him again in time.

'''[http://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Yuyuni_Yuni Yuyuni Yuni]''': The two have not had too much time to talk, but the casual conversations they share go over quite well. He loves her can-do attitude.

'''Ivetta Greysteele''': From what he knows, Ivetta is a close friend of Aran'sae, but Mhastoum has not seen her around since he knocked over her lumber.

'''[http://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Mipije_Papije Mipije Papije]''': They share a thirst for knowledge and exploration, it seems they get along rather well! They shared a rousing conversation over the nature of cactuars, and occasionally discuss the wonders of Eorzea together. Their relations have strained with recent events. Mhastoum hopes that, one day, Mipije can trust him to be the valiant protector he once was again, but he does not expect forgiveness any time soon.

== Other Relations ==

'''[http://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/X%27Vett_Nunh X'vett Nunh]''': Apparently accosted Aran'sae in a crowd once, but the whole thing was a misunderstanding. A few choice words back and forth, and now the two have made up.

'''[http://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/X%27Nala_Razh X'nala Razh]''': Bumped into once and offered a fish his friend found in a rock. There's some semblance of a kinship between them now. Some strange form of forehead-fist bumping now serves as their greeting.

==Rumours==

"I hear he keeps his pants like that because he loves displaying his ass, not to mention those abs."

"I thought I saw him brooding the other day. That is most unlike him."

==PC Rumours (feel free to add!)==

*"Mhastoum looks like he will break you into 2, and then break those 2 into 8, and those 8 into 512! However, he is actually not quite so violent! ...or quite so cubed." -[[Mipije Papije]]

*"Mhastoum carries many burdens. I only hope that his back bears the strength to carry them all." -[[Aran'sae Dia]]

*"He puts happiness in my heart, and I hope someday someone will come along and return the favour." -[[Naoh'ra Ohndai]]

*"Big, tall, strong man to chase the monsters away? Mmmm... big, strong man hides his fear... Hides his shame... I can taste the regret like sweet cakes and candies." - [[Pimrhi Dia]]

==Other Notes/Trivia==

His mother died in childbirth, and his father died in the Calamity.

*Age: 22
*Gender: Male
*Height: 5 fulms, 2 ilms.
*Weight: Fit
*Romantic Status: Single
*Place of Birth: North Shroud
*Current Residence: Gridania
*Skills: Weaving, Conjury, Medicine, Gardening.

=Appearance=
Aran'sae has slate-colored dark skin that contrasts with his bright white and blue hair. He has very soft features, especially his eyes, which are heterochromatic. His tail is long and thin, a trait he shares with his mother. Like both of his parents, he is fairly short. He is oft found in a long robe adorned in small satchels and pouches, with a circlet of twigs and leaves wrapped around his forehead.

=History=
Aran'sae was born with the latent capability to hear the elementals. As he grew, his parents oft spoke of their youngest son's hearing of strange voices and sounds to passing Gridanians in the Shroud. Word gradually traveled to Stillglade Fane, and a conjurer was sent to investigate. His family, with heavy hearts, allowed him to be taken back to Gridania to train among the nature worshipers. He felt welcomed; oddly at ease with the other conjurers, and worked hard for his new kin. He eventually earned the title of Hearer a few years before the Seventh Umbral Era.

=Personality=

Aran'sae tends to take everything seriously. Mayhap a bit too seriously. To the point of hilarity, often.

=Personal Quotes=
*"My father used to tell me a story... Every star is the tip of one of Menphina's beautiful locks of hair. They spread across the entire sky, and she puts her hair up when she goes back to sleep."

=Relationships=

==Free Company==

*[[Vana'to Eru]] - Friend. The two keepers share a sort of mutual respect for eachother. They are not exactly 'friends', but they do get along quite fabulously, and Aran'sae feels he can be himself around the young lieutenant. This is a rare trait.

*[[T'kehe Tia]] - Friend. Aran'sae feels compelled to help the shy seeker of the sun at every turn. Why? The hearer would not be able to tell you. Something about T'kehe's diminutive nature drives him so. Overall, he thinks of T'kehe as very polite and kind.
*[[Byrmstyrn Barabennwyn]](Tree Star) - Acquaintance. Aran'sae does not know Tree Star well enough to exactly have any thoughts on her, all he knows is he notices trouble seems to follow in her wake. Why, he cannot say.

*[[V'arae Tia]] - Acquaintance. Aran'sae appreciates the seeker's polite mannerisms. He knows not much else about him.

==The Character==
Mipije Papije is often considered by others as very short even by Lalafell standards. At just 2 fulms, and 9 ilms, his small stature doesn’t seem to deter his enthusiastic and cheerful disposition and love for life. He is often seen smiling, and laughing even when situations look bleak. His bright smile accents his bright blue eyes that often times seem to gleam in the sunlight due to his natural Dunesfolk irises. Add his glasses to his warmly tanned face, and his eyes almost seem to twinkle behind the glass. Perhaps that glint in his eyes is just a spec of his love for learning that is shining out or perhaps this glow is a side effect of the magics he enjoys studying. Mip-Map, as many of his friends refer to him as, not only studies magic, but he also wears a magical jewel on his forehead for protection. Beneath this crystal, he has also inscribed a tattoo glyph of protection onto his skin. He often wears the garments of mages; mostly for aesthetic reasons.

It may appear as Mip-Map’s passion is magic, however, his true calling is Anthropology, and History. He is a determined fanatic of all things Science, History, Art, and General Learning. Due to this passion for knowledge, he dabbles into many skillsets, branches of magic, hobbies, and schools of science and thought, however, he has yet to master any one goal. With such a wide range of interests comes the downfall of a short attention span, which causes Mipije Papije to drop one study for another quite often.

Because of his thrive for knowledge, he seems to make friends quickly due to having a sincere interest in other people’s lives. Not only does he enjoy making friends for cultural reasons, but he also tends to feel at home and comfortable in large crowds since he was born and raised in the highly populated city of Ul’dah. Ul’dahns are said to not be shy people, and this rule applies to Mipije Papije by definition. Mip-Map will often times be the one to initiate conversations; most of the time for as little a reason as picking your brain.

==Pre-Calamity History==
Mip-Map was born in Ul’dah 30 years ago. As a young Lalafell living in the city, he grew up around a wide variety of people with different cultures, religions, and personalities. At the age of 9, while accompanying his mother; Lulele Lule, his father; Popojaje Zozojaje, his brothers, and sisters, Mipije Papije strayed off from his family and got lost in the marketplace. While alone and afraid, a young couple found the little Lalafell boy, and waited with Mipije Papije until his parents could locate him. The reason why this couple interested the little boy so much was due to the couple being of different races. The man was a Miqo’te and the woman was a Hyur. At such a young age, Mipije Papije had rarely seen such a thing as interracial relationships, and so he asked them numerous questions; far too many questions for the young couple to feel comfortable about, but they obliged until Lulele Lule and Popojaje Zozoojaje reunited with their son. This was what sparked the young boy’s interest in Anthropology.

As the young boy grew into a teenager, he began to study and school in various scientific and technological teachings; developing an even more fanatic love for knowledge. This yearning to know as much about the world as possible remained with him even as he began learning about Thaumaturgy, Conjuring, and Arcane Arts at the age of 19. Though this tutoring from Thaumaturges, Conjurers, and Arcanists started at a young age with Mip-Map, these teaching were purely theoretical and the teen had little practice in the field of casting. With little applied knowledge, Mip-Map grew up into an adult with a powerful desire to travel, meet like minds, and learn even more in order to be able to apply his education.

5 years ago when Mipije Papije was 25 years old, The Calamity occurred. Mipije Papije and his entire family fled to the inner protective chambers of Ul'dah for safety during the event; along with thousands other citizens of the great Thanalan city. Lulele Lule's and Popojaje Zozojaje's 14 children, including Mip-Map, were kept safe during the disaster. Mipije's family thanked The Twelve greatly afterwards since not a single family member had been lost during the Calamity; unlike so many sad, and unfortunate families that had been separated around Eorzea. Due to all of his family surviving, which was such a blessing, Mipije Papije holds a lot of respect for the Twelve, and worships them devotedly. This is a practice not often done among other men of science; making a balance between his spiritual self, and his scientific self, difficult for Mip-Map to achieve. For this reason, he will often avoid the subject of his own religion when in the company of others, and chooses to worship in private.

==Post-Calamity==

Now a days, Mipije Papije studies other cultures, and history for a living wherever he goes. He is often times found in Limsa Lominsa where he lives, and occasionally he can be found in Ul’dah when he is visiting his parents and his 13 brothers and sisters. It was during one afternoon in Ul'dah during a visit to his parents' home, that he met a young Seeker of the Sun named X'vett. The two of them met on the street where Mipije Papije was interviewing random citizens of Ul'dah; X'vett being one such victim. X'vett was unable to pronounce Mipije Papije's name and accidentally called the Lalafell: "Mip-Map," which Mipije Papije gladly adopted the title to make things easier for his new friend. From then on, Mip-Map would introduce himself not only with his full name, but with the alternative nickname X'vett had given him as well for those who found Lalafell names to occasionally twist on the tongue.

It was also in Ul'dah's streets did Mip-Map meet Aran'sae Dia, a handsome Keeper of the Moon. Aran'sae was a co-founder of a Free COmpany called the Gullwings. The Free Company focused on archeology, cultural studies, and exploration. These interests were some things Mipije Papije was very fascinated in and when given the invitation to join the scholarly group, Mip-Map joined without hesitation. Aran'sae, although a decade younger than Mipije Papije, showed to be very intelligent and mature. Aran'sae was beyond helpful; even going as far as helping Mip-Map with a few of his studies without asking for any compensation for labour.

As a member of the Gullwings, Mip-Map met the Roegadyn Seawolf, Mhastoum Greinsyn and a fellow Lalafell named Yuyuni Yuni. Mhastoum and Mip-Map both shared a love and thrive for learning and became friends very quickly. It was during a time where Mhastoum brought his pet cactuar with him, that Mip-Map grew to like the Roe very much. Although the man looked intimidating and scary, Mhastoum proved himself to be passionate, kind, and gentle, even if he could snap most opponents in half. It showed the Lalafell man that looks can be deceiving. It was a lesson Mip-Map had always thought he had learned well, but by meeting Mhastoum, he was even more enlightened to the fact that under a hard exterior could lay a beautiful, and kind soul.

Yuyuni Yuni and Mipije Papije both connected over their love of cute things. Especially Chocobos. During a long and interesting conversation with a Chocobo loving Miqo'te woman, a mutual friend of theirs named R'vaazi Tyaka, the two Gullwings Lalafells both decided that they would like to join the R'vaazi on her trip up north to learn about different breeds of Chocobo. With that future educational trip in mind, Mip-Map has kept a fondness for Yuyuni Yuni and the Chocobo loving R'vaazi, tucked away in his heart, and an excitement that the three of them can become better friends in the future.

Another Gullwing that Mipije Papije has met is Khona'to Lihzeh. The two of them met while Mip-Map was fishing with Aran'sae in the harbour of Limsa Lominsa. However, the two didn't get a chance to converse for long before Khona'to said his goodbyes in order to continue on his day.

==Trivia==

*Mip-Map is an excellent Cook. This most likely contributes to his round tummy.

*Mipije Papije’s ears are a bit longer and wider than the average Lalafell, while his height is a bit shorter than average.

*Without his glasses, he is unable to see even a few fulms in front of him.

*His poor eyesight is a large factor in why he's inadequately skilled at casting magic even if his knowledge of such subjects is immense. His Line of Sight is very limited.

*He sometimes speaks with heavy alliteration due to inheriting the speech pattern from his father. His occasional bluntness is a habit he picked up from his mother.

*Even though his mother is Plainsfolk, and gave him a Plainsfolk name, Mipije Papije identifies as a Dunesfolk like his father, due to inheriting more dominant Dunesfolk features.

*Mipije's and all of his siblings' names are based off music's Solfège (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do).

==The Character==
Mipije Papije is often considered by others as very short even by Lalafell standards. At just 2 fulms, and 9 ilms, his small stature doesn’t seem to deter his enthusiastic and cheerful disposition and love for life. He is often seen smiling, and laughing even when situations look bleak. His bright smile accents his bright blue eyes that often times seem to gleam in the sunlight due to his natural Dunesfolk irises. Add his glasses to his warmly tanned face, and his eyes almost seem to twinkle behind the glass. Perhaps that glint in his eyes is just a spec of his love for learning that is shining out or perhaps this glow is a side effect of the magics he enjoys studying. Mip-Map, as many of his friends refer to him as, not only studies magic, but he also wears a magical jewel on his forehead for protection. Beneath this crystal, he has also inscribed a tattoo glyph of protection onto his skin. He often wears the garments of mages; mostly for aesthetic reasons.

It may appear as Mip-Map’s passion is magic, however, his true calling is Anthropology, and History. He is a determined fanatic of all things Science, History, Art, and General Learning. Due to this passion for knowledge, he dabbles into many skillsets, branches of magic, hobbies, and schools of science and thought, however, he has yet to master any one goal. With such a wide range of interests comes the downfall of a short attention span, which causes Mipije Papije to drop one study for another quite often.

Because of his thrive for knowledge, he seems to make friends quickly due to having a sincere interest in other people’s lives. Not only does he enjoy making friends for cultural reasons, but he also tends to feel at home and comfortable in large crowds since he was born and raised in the highly populated city of Ul’dah. Ul’dahns are said to not be shy people, and this rule applies to Mipije Papije by definition. Mip-Map will often times be the one to initiate conversations; most of the time for as little a reason as picking your brain.

==Pre-Calamity History==
Mip-Map was born in Ul’dah 30 years ago. As a young Lalafell living in the city, he grew up around a wide variety of people with different cultures, religions, and personalities. At the age of 9, while accompanying his mother; Lulele Lule, his father; Popojaje Zozojaje, his brothers, and sisters, Mipije Papije strayed off from his family and got lost in the marketplace. While alone and afraid, a young couple found the little Lalafell boy, and waited with Mipije Papije until his parents could locate him. The reason why this couple interested the little boy so much was due to the couple being of different races. The man was a Miqo’te and the woman was a Hyur. At such a young age, Mipije Papije had rarely seen such a thing as interracial relationships, and so he asked them numerous questions; far too many questions for the young couple to feel comfortable about, but they obliged until Lulele Lule and Popojaje Zozoojaje reunited with their son. This was what sparked the young boy’s interest in Anthropology.

As the young boy grew into a teenager, he began to study and school in various scientific and technological teachings; developing an even more fanatic love for knowledge. This yearning to know as much about the world as possible remained with him even as he began learning about Thaumaturgy, Conjuring, and Arcane Arts at the age of 19. Though this tutoring from Thaumaturges, Conjurers, and Arcanists started at a young age with Mip-Map, these teaching were purely theoretical and the teen had little practice in the field of casting. With little applied knowledge, Mip-Map grew up into an adult with a powerful desire to travel, meet like minds, and learn even more in order to be able to apply his education.

5 years ago when Mipije Papije was 25 years old, The Calamity occurred. Mipije Papije and his entire family fled to the inner protective chambers of Ul'dah for safety during the event; along with thousands other citizens of the great Thanalan city. Lulele Lule's and Popojaje Zozojaje's 14 children, including Mip-Map, were kept safe during the disaster. Mipije's family thanked The Twelve greatly afterwards since not a single family member had been lost during the Calamity; unlike so many sad, and unfortunate families that had been separated around Eorzea. Due to all of his family surviving, which was such a blessing, Mipije Papije holds a lot of respect for the Twelve, and worships them devotedly. This is a practice not often done among other men of science; making a balance between his spiritual self, and his scientific self, difficult for Mip-Map to achieve. For this reason, he will often avoid the subject of his own religion when in the company of others, and chooses to worship in private.

==Post-Calamity==

Now a days, Mipije Papije studies other cultures, and history for a living wherever he goes. He is often times found in Limsa Lominsa where he lives, and occasionally he can be found in Ul’dah when he is visiting his parents and his 13 brothers and sisters. It was during one afternoon in Ul'dah during a visit to his parents' home, that he met a young Seeker of the Sun named X'vett. The two of them met on the street where Mipije Papije was interviewing random citizens of Ul'dah; X'vett being one such victim. X'vett was unable to pronounce Mipije Papije's name and accidentally called the Lalafell: "Mip-Map," which Mipije Papije gladly adopted the title to make things easier for his new friend. From then on, Mip-Map would introduce himself not only with his full name, but with the alternative nickname X'vett had given him as well for those who found Lalafell names to occasionally twist on the tongue.

It was also in Ul'dah's streets did Mip-Map meet Aran'sae Dia, a handsome Keeper of the Moon. Aran'sae was a co-founder of a Free COmpany called the Gullwings. The Free Company focused on archeology, cultural studies, and exploration. These interests were some things Mipije Papije was very fascinated in and when given the invitation to join the scholarly group, Mip-Map joined without hesitation. Aran'sae, although a decade younger than Mipije Papije, showed to be very intelligent and mature. Aran'sae was beyond helpful; even going as far as helping Mip-Map with a few of his studies without asking for any compensation for labour.

As a member of the Gullwings, Mip-Map met the Roegadyn Seawolf, Mhastoum Greinsyn and a fellow Lalafell named Yuyuni Yuni. Mhastoum and Mip-Map both shared a love and thrive for learning and became friends very quickly. It was during a time where Mhastoum brought his pet cactuar with him, that Mip-Map grew to like the Roe very much. Although the man looked intimidating and scary, Mhastoum proved himself to be passionate, kind, and gentle, even if he could snap most opponents in half. It showed the Lalafell man that looks can be deceiving. It was a lesson Mip-Map had always thought he had learned well, but by meeting Mhastoum, he was even more enlightened to the fact that under a hard exterior could lay a beautiful, and kind soul.

Yuyuni Yuni and Mipije Papije both connected over their love of cute things. Especially Chocobos. During a long and interesting conversation with a Chocobo loving Miqo'te woman, a mutual friend of theirs named R'vaazi Tyaka, the two Gullwings Lalafells both decided that they would like to join the R'vaazi on her trip up north to learn about different breeds of Chocobo. With that future educational trip in mind, Mip-Map has kept a fondness for Yuyuni Yuni and the Chocobo loving R'vaazi, tucked away in his heart, and an excitement that the three of them can become better friends in the future.

Another Gullwing that Mipije Papije has met is Khona'to Lihzeh. The two of them met while Mip-Map was fishing with Aran'sae in the harbour of Limsa Lominsa. However, the two didn't get a chance to converse for long before Khona'to said his goodbyes in order to continue on his day.

==Trivia==

*Mip-Map is an excellent Cook. This most likely contributes to his round tummy.

*Mipije Papije’s ears are a bit longer and wider than the average Lalafell, while his height is a bit shorter than average.

*Without his glasses, he is unable to see even a few fulms in front of him.

*His poor eyesight is a large factor in why he's inadequately skilled at casting magic even if his knowledge of such subjects is immense. His Line of Sight is very limited.

*He sometimes speaks with heavy alliteration due to inheriting the speech pattern from his father. His occasional bluntness is a habit he picked up from his mother.

*Even though his mother is Plainsfolk, and gave him a Plainsfolk name, Mipije Papije identifies as a Dunesfolk like his father, due to inheriting more dominant Dunesfolk features.

*Mipije's and all of his siblings' names are based off music's Solfège (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do).

==PC Rumours about Mip-Map==

*"While I don't understand near anything he says, I admire his thirst for knowledge, and I hope that by the time he finishes his book I'll be able to read it. He'll make sure of that, I bet. Overall, Mip-Map is a very dear friend of mine, and I respect him greatly." -[[X'vett Nunh]]

==Rumours Mip-Map has said of other PCs==
*""Aran’sae? He’s a lovely leading leader made of loving leadership who leads with love.

*"X’vett is well versed in the cultivation of progeny and genealogy, and the preservation of said lineage. Yes indeedie!

He’s an exquisite paternal parental unit." - Said about [http://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=X%27vett_Nunh X'vett Nunh]

==The Character==

==Pre-Calamity History==
The History of X'vhana Vett starts with the circumstances of her birth. Long before she was born, her mother, X'leelha Shoka, had this deep desire for a child. X'leelha felt she was getting older and older and still she had not birthed a child with any Nunh. The reason why she waited to have a child was because she had a strong dislike, and in some cases, a deep hatred, for most of the males in her tribe. X'leelha outright refused to mix her blood with any of those males to create a child. After several years of resentment towards the adult males, a rare opportunity arose in X'vett Tia. Vett was a young, inexperienced male, however, he had potential. Leelha coaxed one of X'vett's friends into daring the young man to challenge a current Nunh at the time. By a stroke of luck, and some sly interfering on X'leelha's part, the young 15 year old X'vett Tia, had defeated the Nunh, and became one of the tribe's newest breeding males. So, on that very same night of X'vett's victory, the much older X'leelha hunted X'vett down, and mated with the teenager. Leelha knew the youngster wouldn't hold the Nunh title for long. As she predicted, the 15 year old X'vett was challenged and defeated the next day, and lost his position. However, Leelha had already gotten what she came for. She was pregnant with "X'vett Nunh", and she would have a child with a male she did not despise. Unlike other females of her tribe, X'leelha was very anti-social and self-secluded; especially after all the rumours of her manipulative nature. Leelha prefered to hunt, fish, gather and live on her own with her child, Vhana; though they stayed within the Tribe's territories just in case. Rarely did X'leelha help or ask for help of the others in her tribe. In fact, Leelha was often times considered hostile and abrasive towards other tribe members; except for X'vett, who she often greeted with a soft nod, or an occasional gift of a small share of her hunt.

Because of her mother's odd nature and devious reputation, when X'vhana Vett was a young child, she didn't have many friends due to the other mothers keeping their children away from her. X'vhana was the daughter of a cold loner Female and a young man who was only Nunh for a day. The gossip was rich at the time. X'vhana faced a lot of prejudice due to the circumstances of her birth. However, she grew up happy. Her mother was a great hunter, so X'vhana never went hungry and her mother was always with her so she was never lonely. When her mother was out hunting, Vhana would safely stay where she was put until her mother returned. Or, she would sometimes get the treat of being given to X'vett for the day, though this was very rare occasion.

X'vhana was 7 years old when the Calamity struck. Due to her mother's quick thinking, and vast knowledge of the landscape, X'leelha and X'vhana hid in a deep cave in Southern Thanalan. They survived the world shattering event while many of the tribe did not.

==Post-Calamity==
After the calamity, X'vhana and her mother lived a more nomadic lifestyle without the support of a large tribe. Something more reminiscent of a Keeper of the Moon. This lifestyle was fine, however things would not always be this way. It was when X'vhana became 12 years old did she begin to crave the company of others more than just her mother, and explore the world for its other cultures, and especially its cuisine. She wanted to become a chef. As all children do, she began to grow up into her own person. X'leelha did not like the idea of being separated from her daughter, however, she supported this newly found independence in Vhana, and allowed the girl to travel. However, there was one condition. X'leelha told X'vhana to seek out her father, X'vett, who she had heard had not only survived the Calamity, but also had grown up into a strong, and caring man. If X'vhana wanted to travel, she'd have to do so not only under the guidance of her mother, but also her father. So, her mission right now, is to find her father, and learn from him all that she can about life, the world, and how to be a good person. And, on her life journey, maybe she'll pick up some good recipes along the way.

==The Character==

==Pre-Calamity History==
The History of X'vhana Vett starts with the circumstances of her birth. Long before she was born, her mother, X'leelha Shoka, had this deep desire for a child. X'leelha felt she was getting older and older and still she had not birthed a child with any Nunh. The reason why she waited to have a child was because she had a strong dislike, and in some cases, a deep hatred, for most of the males in her tribe. X'leelha outright refused to mix her blood with any of those males to create a child. After several years of resentment towards the adult males of her tribe, a rare opportunity arose in X'vett Tia. Vett was a young, inexperienced male, however, he had potential. Leelha coaxed one of X'vett's friends into daring the young man to challenge the current Nunh at the time. By a stroke of luck, and some sly interfering on X'leelha's part, the young, 15 year old X'vett Tia, had somehow managed to defeat the current Nunh, and become the tribe's newest breeding male. So, on that very night X'vett gained the title of Nunh, the much older X'leelha, hunted X'vett down, and mated with the teenager. Leelha knew the youngster wouldn't hold the Nunh title for long. As she predicted, the 15 year old X'vett was challenged and defeated the next day, and lost his position. However, Leelha had already gotten what she came for. She was pregnant with "X'vett Nunh", and she would have a child with a male she did not despise. Unlike other females of her tribe, X'leelha was very anti-social and self-secluded; especially after all the rumours of her manipulative nature. Leelha prefered to hunt, fish, gather and live on her own with her child, Vhana; though they stayed within the Tribe's territories just in case. Rarely did X'leelha help or ask for help of the others in her tribe. In fact, Leelha was often times considered hostile and abrasive towards others in her tribe; except for X'vett, who she often greeted with a soft nod, or an occasional gift of a small share of her hunt.

Because of her mother's odd nature and devious reputation, when X'vhana Vett was a young child, she didn't have many friends due to the other mothers keeping their children away from her. X'vhana was the daughter of a cold loner Female and a young man who was only Nunh for a day. X'vhana faced a lot of prejudice due to the circumstances of her birth. However, she grew up happy. Her mother was a great hunter, so X'vhana never went hungry and her mother was always with her so she was never lonely. When her mother was out hunting, Vhana would stay where she was put until her mother returned. Or, she would sometimes get the treat of being given to X'vett for the day, though this was very rare and not very traditional by Miqo'te standards.

X'vhana was 7 years old when the Calamity struck. Due to her mother's quick thinking, and vast knowledge of the landscape, X'leelha and X'vhana hid in a deep cave in Southern Thanalan. They survived the world shattering event while many of the tribe did not.

==Post-Calamity==
After the calamity, X'vhana and her mother lived a more nomadic lifestyle without the support of a large tribe. Something more reminiscent of a Keeper of the Moon. This lifestyle was fine, however things would not always be this way. It was when X'vhana became 12 years old did she begin to crave the company of others more than just her mother, and explore the world for its other cultures, and especially its cuisine. She wanted to become a chef. As all children do, she began to grow up into her own person. X'leelha did not like the idea of being separated from her daughter, however, she supported this newly found independence in Vhana, and allowed the girl to travel. However, there was one condition. X'leelha told X'vhana to seek out her father, X'vett, who she had heard had not only survived the Calamity, but also had grown up into a strong, and caring man. If X'vhana wanted to travel, she'd have to do so not only under the guidance of her mother, but also her father. So, her mission right now, is to find her father, and learn from him all that she can about life, the world, and how to be a good person. And, on her life journey, maybe she'll pick up some good recipes along the way.

==The Character==

==Pre-Calamity History==
The History of X'vhana Vett starts with the circumstances of her birth. Long before she was born, her mother, X'leelha Shoka, had this deep desire for a child. X'leelha felt she was getting older and older and still she had not birthed a child with any Nunh. The reason why she waited to have a child was because she had a strong dislike, and in some cases, a deep hatred, for most of the males in her tribe. X'leelha outright refused to mix her blood with any of those males to create a child. After several years of resentment towards the adult males of her tribe, a rare opportunity arose in X'vett Tia. Vett was a young, inexperienced male, however, he had potential. Leelha coaxed one of X'vett's friends into daring the young man to challenge the current Nunh at the time. By a stroke of luck, and some sly interfering on X'leelha's part, the young, 15 year old X'vett Tia, had somehow managed to defeat the current Nunh, and become the tribe's newest breeding male. So, on that very night X'vett gained the title of Nunh, the much older X'leelha, hunted X'vett down, and mated with the teenager. Leelha knew the youngster wouldn't hold the Nunh title for long. As she predicted, the 15 year old X'vett was challenged and defeated the next day, and lost his position. However, Leelha had already gotten what she came for. She was pregnant with "X'vett Nunh", and she would have a child with a male she did not despise. Unlike other females of her tribe, X'leelha was very anti-social and self-secluded; especially after all the rumours of her manipulative nature. Leelha prefered to hunt, fish, gather and live on her own with her child, Vhana; though they stayed within the Tribe's territories just in case. Rarely did X'leelha help or ask for help of the others in her tribe. In fact, Leelha was often times considered hostile and abrasive towards others in her tribe; except for X'vett, who she often greeted with a soft nod, or an occasional gift of a small share of her hunt.

Because of her mother's odd nature and devious reputation, when X'vhana Vett was a young child, she didn't have many friends due to the other mothers keeping their children away from her. X'vhana was the daughter of a cold loner Female and a young man who was only Nunh for a day. X'vhana faced a lot of prejudice due to the circumstances of her birth. However, she grew up happy. Her mother was a great hunter, so X'vhana never went hungry and her mother was always with her so she was never lonely. When her mother was out hunting, Vhana would stay where she was put until her mother returned. Or, she would sometimes get the treat of being given to X'vett for the day, though this was very rare and not very traditional by Miqo'te standards.

X'vhana was 7 years old when the Calamity struck. Due to her mother's quick thinking, and vast knowledge of the landscape, X'leelha and X'vhana hid in a deep cave in Southern Thanalan. They survived the world shattering event while many of the tribe did not.

==Post-Calamity==
After the calamity, X'vhana and her mother lived a more nomadic lifestyle without the support of a large tribe. Something more reminiscent of a Keeper of the Moon. This lifestyle was fine, however things would not always be this way. It was when X'vhana became 12 years old did she begin to crave the company of others more than just her mother, and explore the world for its other cultures, and especially its cuisine. She wanted to become a chef. As all children do, she began to grow up into her own person. X'leelha did not like the idea of being separated from her daughter, however, she supported this newly found independence in Vhana, and allowed the girl to travel. However, there was one condition. X'leelha told X'vhana to seek out her father, X'vett, who she had heard had not only survived the Calamity, but also had grown up into a strong, and caring man. If X'vhana wanted to travel, she'd have to do so not only under the guidance of her mother, but also her father. So, her mission right now, is to find her father, and learn from him all that she can about life, the world, and how to be a good person. And, on her life journey, maybe she'll pick up some good recipes along the way.

Standing at 5 fulms and weighing approximately 100 ponzes D'lyhhia's small/slim build make her appear younger than she is. Her light brown hair(with highlights) adds onto that effect; short and cut in an a-line fashion which complements her round facial features. These features, specifically her nose and cheeks, hold a slight flush while the rest of her skin remain light, but not pale. Her big green eyes, which are also light in color, have the normal seeker slit pupils.
<br>The clothes she wears on her back are commonly what look to be farm clothes and the choice between a straw hat or bandanna, though she prefers the bandanna. Another thing she is fond of wearing are gloves, but never mittens as she find them constricting and stupid to wear as an archer. As of late she has found herself wearing more dressier clothing.</div>

One of the first things one would most likely notice about D'lyhhia is her way of communication. Instead of speaking she will make gestures and expressions instead of talking. It isn't that she can't talk, because she can. Unfortunately her voice lacks strength causing her to speak in a weak whisper. Due to this many people are normally unable to hear her in loud environments or group settings, so over the years she learned to adapt. When she does speak her voice often cuts out. (Her voice is similar to that of Allison from The Breakfast Club.)

==The Character==
The History of X'vhana Vett starts with the circumstances of her birth. Long before she was born, her mother, X'leelha Shoka, had this deep desire for a child. X'leelha felt she was getting older and older and still she had not birthed a child with any Nunh. The reason why she waited to have a child was because she had a strong dislike, and in some cases, a deep hatred, for most of the males in her tribe. X'leelha outright refused to mix her blood with any of those males to create a child. After several years of resentment towards the males of her tribe, a rare opportunity arose in X'vett Tia. The young, 15 year old Tia, had somehow managed to defeat the current Nunh, and become the tribe's newest breeding male. So, on that very night X'vett gained the title of Nunh, the much older X'leelha, hunted X'vett down, and mated with the teenager. Leelha knew the youngster wouldn't keep the title for long. As she predicted, the 15 year old X'vett was challenged and defeated the next day, and lost his title. However, Leelha already gotten what she came for. She was pregnant, and she would have a child with a male she did not despise. Unlike other females of her tribe, she was secluded. This was of her own doing. She just prefered to hunt, fish, and live on her own. Rarely did she help or ask for help of the others in her tribe. So, she had her first and only child, X'vhana Vett, without the aid of the other females.

When X'vhana Vett was a young child, she didn't have many friends due to the other mothers keeping their children away from her. X'vhana was the daughter of a cold loner Female and a young man who was only Nunh for a day. X'vhana faced a lot of prejudice due to the circumstances of her birth.

<h2> Basics </h2>
<p>Server: Balmung
</p><p>Name: X'vett (Pronounced She-veth)
</p><p>Age: 27
</p><p>Height: 5'8.2"
</p><p>Eye colour: Amber
</p><p>Hair colour: Dark Auburn
</p><p>Current tribe position: Tia
</p><p>Appearance: X'vett is fairly tall for a Miqo'te, often towering over his friends and tribemates. He has long hair that reaches past his shoulders and a floofy tail. He has a fair amount of freckles on his face, though on the rest of his body there is twice that amount and they cover everywhere. Sometimes he will have lipstick, facepaint or his hair up in ponytails or braids because his daughters get a hold of him and paint him up before he leaves for the day. He never has the heart to wash it off, and isn't embarrassed by it, simply because he knows they were proud of their work and he doesn't want them to be sad to see him come home without it on.
</p><p>He is not overly bulky, but he is muscular. As he hunts with a bow every day, he carries most of his muscle at his shoulders, arms and back.
</p><p>Please go to the 'artwork' section on this page for a reference sheet as well as other drawings!
</p><p>Vett walks with an off gait, and often limps. In the evening it's more obvious he's limping despite him trying to cover it up.
</p><p>Clothing: Vett doesn't wear much, saying he doesn't want to block Azeyma out. He wears loose, dark pants and a scarf around his waist, and a pair of old boots. Other than that, not much. Often he wears necklaces around his neck that his son and daughters made for him, since they said it'd make him lucky. He wears them almost every day! He also has a white ribbon with a red rose on his left wrist near all the time, which was made by one of his tribemates.
</p><p>Recently he got himself a tattoo on his left arm simply for aesthetics. Being uncomfortable with his body now that he's missing a good portion of it, he figured getting something special on the same side would make him feel better about it.
<h2> Personality </h2>
</p><p>X'vett is a big awkward baby to put it simply.
<p>He is excessively cautious, especially around women as many assumed horrible things of him when he finally ventured into the city. He gives a lot of personal space and would rather have a conversation across the room than face to face to avoid even the possibility of making a woman uncomfortable.
</p><p>Once he gets to know someone, and learns their boundaries, earns their trust and friendship and is comfortable himself, there isn't much of a personal space thing anymore. He likes to be close to people, and shows his affections through touch rather than words. The greatest indicator that shows you are a friend to him is when he knocks foreheads with you, as it's a sign of trust, respect, love and loyalty.
</p><p>He's recently become a little more suspicious of those in the city, 'especially' those who make advances on him.
<h2>Being Nunh</h2>
Vett became Nunh when he was 25, and has held the title mostly for the past three, going on four years. It's been on and off and he's been challenged and defeated quite often, but he has stepped up just as much to reclaim his position.
Recently he has been defeated once again, and is currently a Tia. He's taking time to recover his body and build strength before he takes back the position. Sure, he could just say he's done with it, he has many children with the tribe already, but he likes the job. He enjoys the responsibility, honour, respect and purpose it gives him. A Tia's job in the tribe is just as important, but he feels he suits the Nunh title far more and wants to hold it.

With being Nunh, he brings purpose to the tribe. He keeps the Tia strong, gives them a reason to become better than what they already are and motivates everyone to better themselves. It sets a bar, being Nunh. Many outside of the tribes see it as simply being either a sex addict, which isn't the case. The breeding part of the job, while important, isn't the main and only aspect of being Nunh that many see it as.

He currently has six children as follows:

X’noha Tia (3) Mothered by [[X'nala Rhaz]]

X’luka Vett (2) Mothered by X'yandhi Taka

X’korolon Vett (near one year) Mothered by [[X'nala Rhaz]]

X’tandhaa Vett (less than a year) Mothered by X'oohn Niqe

X’zentsa Vett (less than a year) Mothered by X'zumyn Bhee

X’davzzi Vett (less than a year) Mothered by X'sonjha Khei

And one more on the way as of recently Mothered by [[X'nala Rhaz]]

X'vett plans on taking back his position as Nunh.

== The Bard's Tale ==
X'vett took to being a Bard simply because he greatly enjoys poetry and song.
<p>It doesn't make him that much gil, singing in taverns and the like, but the rewards of doing so greatly outweigh any amount of income he can gather. He would rather see the looks of wonder, inspiration and otherwise new emotion and feeling in those who stay to hear his songs rather than hear the jingling of a coin purse. He often writes his own songs, and will sometimes listen to others stories and take on a job writing a song about them to play.
</p><p>He spends a good amount of time song writing, as he believes that song paints the most beautiful picture of the heart and soul of a person, and finds it much easier to speak his mind and show his feelings when he sings.
</p><p>He is certain he is going to continue to song write, and he hopes that through song, he inspires others to become better than they are and grow through these rough times. If he doesn't inspire, he hopes to bring wonder, and at the very least, entertainment. So long as he strikes something in another person, he's done his job.
</p><p>Sometimes when he speaks, he talks in a more poetic way. He uses a lot of allegories in his speech to get his points across, and the rhythm in which he speaks can sometimes be musical if you let him go on and on about something he's passionate about.
== Disability and physical limitations ==
He recently lost his left leg from the mid thigh down due to a run in with a cannibal craving a good steak, and using his trust and friendship against him, he lured Vett into his home and took the cut of meat he wanted. Because of this, Vett is fairly nervous around Roegadyns and will often hightail it to the nearest far far away when one comes too close. It takes a lot for him to give trust to a Roegadyn man, and even once they have it he is still cautious as it was a friend who took his leg.
</p><p>He paid a hefty fine for a blacksmith to fashion him a new leg that was lightweight and functional, as well as easy to hide. He took some time to pretty it up to make himself feel better, figuring that if it was more ascetically pleasing it wouldn't be as depressing. He can still feel his leg there from time to time, and will often scratch and itch or try to move his toes, which brings him near to tears when he is reminded his leg isn't there.
</p><p>He is hesitant to tell his tribe about this disability of his, because he's afraid a Tia will use it against him to take his place and they won't truly be worthy of the title and responsibility.
</p><p>He hides the metal prosthetic with loose dark pants and long tailcoats and a scarf (as seen in the photo above)just in case some of the metal bits show under the fabric. It's just for that extra 'no one will ever see this' comfort.
For reference on what his leg looks like, see the following photo here:
[http://38.media.tumblr.com/b49cb6c27c5f0bd31c9007bd78a99ffd/tumblr_naom00YDTr1tefln4o1_400.jpg] (soon I will be getting a couple of photo's for true reference on Vett's body from head to metal toe! I will update this photo and section when it arrives)
</p><p>Due to the severity of the injury Vett has a hard time running and keeping up with others, and needs to take his time when walking or simply standing up. He is pretty prone to falls if he puts too much weight on the leg, though most often it's simply because the knee either locked up or didn't straighten out before he took his step and he just falls over.
</p><p>Some days are better than others pain wise. It's either a constant annoyance, or agony. It tends to hurt the most at the end of the day after he's traveled or walked around a little more than he should have, or if he took a tumble down some stairs (again.)but most often he can cover it up and carry on his day.

== Azeyma The Warden and Menphina the Lover==
X'vett holds a very dear place in his heart and entire life to Azeyma. He often feels lost and unprotected when the sun isn't out, and over long periods of bad weather he can easily get really down emotionally.

When the sun is shining, he doesn't like wearing a lot of clothes as he doesn't like blocking Azeyma's warmth. The sunlight is like a little hug from Azeyma herself, and Vett cherishes it. When the sun isn't out, he feels disconnected from her and often worries that the sun just won't come back and Azeyma has left them. He has an understanding that everything revolves around Azeyma and the sun, and it keeps them alive, fed, and healthy.

He gets up every morning to enjoy the sunrise, and will often 'sing the sun to sleep' when nightfall comes. It brings him peace in the time where Azeyma is gone, and he believes that song will bring her right back to them in morning.

X'vett also holds a great deal of respect toward Menphina, Goddess of the moon. He feels a certain comfort with her at night because she makes it so that it isn't so dark. There is always light, because she is there. He finds peace in the moonlight as well, as the days are more active with life, while nights are calm and quiet, easier to think and dream.

He figures that Menphina passes on messages to Azeyma, and vice versa. Say, if you say you're cold at night, Menphina tells Azeyma to keep them extra warm when she brings the sun back.

He holds Azeyma much closer to his heart than he does with Menphina, but he views them both as equals. Their importance is easy for him to see, and there can't be one without the other.

<h2>Relationships and Sexuality</h2>
</p><p>While Vett is technically allowed to have romance outside of the tribe, he isn't allowed to procreate. Finding partners is difficult for him anyway, as many tend not to understand or be okay with his tribes duty while he's Nunh. Second to that, is finding those who want to be in a polyamourous relationship in the first place, as many don't generally want or accept that.
</p><p>He craves romance above all, and wants nothing more than to have many loving mates and just 'be' with them and have a large family together. Some may call him selfish, but he figures it's much less selfish of him to have many mates of all fulfill him in different ways than to have one mate and expect them to fulfill him in every way.
</p><p>While he wants romance and relationships, he doesn't want to fall into what so many other Nunh have while they spent their time in the city. He has already been thought of to be a sex addict and at the very worst, a rapist. Their actions directly affect him, and he tries to lead by example rather than just saying he isn't like them. Actions speak louder than words, and because of other Nunh's actions, his need to be louder because ''he doesn't want to be anything like them''.

He is Demisexual, not experiencing sexual attraction to anyone until a romantic or emotional bond is formed between the two of them. Race, sex, gender expression and so on make no difference to him in his attraction to someone, as personality and just 'clicking' with someone is far more important to him.

== Friends ==

'''Astro Mortim:''' Only recently have Astro and Vett really bonded, and he holds a great deal of respect and love for her, even admiration. She was the first he went to when he lost his leg, and ever since cherishes her more so than others. He trusts her completely, and would go out of his way to make her happy and keep her safe. While he doesn't know a lot about her currently, he wants nothing more than for her to open up to him about her life, struggles, goals, victories and everything in between. He looks forward to their friendship, and tries his best to make it known that he will be there for her no matter what.

'''Iggnasse Arbeau:''' Up until now, Vett thought they had something pretty solid, like a true romantic relationship. He is very hurt about it right now as Nasse told him that they were simply a 'friends with secrets' type deal, and he's hurt because he feels lead on. He changed a lot for Nasse because he felt that romantic bond with him, and took the time to learn about the city, learn to read and write enough to write the songs he wrote for him down and so on. It was a slap to the face, and Vett has a hard time trusting him now and feels used. He views him fairly negatively at the moment.

'''[[X'kohu Tia]]:''' X'kohu was a fairly close member of the tribe to Vett when they lived in the Shroud together. After the Calamity, they separated while Vett and near half of the tribe moved to take new territory in Thanalan, while the rest stay behind in the Shroud. They haven't spoken as much as they used to, however, Vett is still friendly with him and treats him like they hadn't been apart at all. If anyone were to surpass him, he'd want it to be X'kohu above anyone else.

'''B'ren Lyrgh''': After finding him accidentally invading his home, Vett tried to set B'ren on fire. Despite the odd circumstances, Vett views him positively. He felt a sense of pride when B'ren mentioned he was a good, proper Nunh, and he wants to continue to set the good example now that he's sure that it really does shine through that he doesn't follow the same path as the others tend to. He really enjoys B'ren's company.

'''[[X'Yue Tia]]''': Even though X'yue is an outcast of the tribe due to circumstances he couldn't change, Vett still holds a fair amount of respect for him. They haven't really known each other too long into their adulthood, as Vett is a fair amount older than Yue is, but still he tries to stop and see him whenever their paths cross and treats him as he would any other member of the tribe. Despite his mothers actions, Vett still considers him a tribe member and doesn't agree or like how he had become an outcast in the first place. Their bond isn't a strong one, and hasn't been around long but it's there enough that Vett is comfortable with Yue.

'''[[Honzo Kage]]''': Well if it isn't my good friend Honzo! After he tried to set X'vett up with Tyrenna, they had actually become friends. Recently Vett attempted to teach him how to hunt in La Noscea, and he thinks it went well and that Honzo learnt something. Their friendship is still in the works, but Vett views him positively and looks forward to getting to know him over the time they meet.

'''[[Mhastoum Greinsyn]]''': Vett thought that the Roe was going to eat his friends, and ran off a good number of times when he had approached him when he was caught spying on the group. When Mhastoum called him a butt toucher, Vett lost his temper with him quickly and they had a bit of a snip-snap at each other. Afterward when things cool off, the both of them apologized and Vett considers him a friend.

'''[[Aran'sae Dia]]''': When Vett thought that Mhastoum was going to eat his friends, and due to a rogue groper, and Vett running off, he assumed Vett had been the one to do it and became quite upset. He went to confront him, though Astro stopped him and told him that it would be out of character for him to do so. Dia had felt guilty and apologized profusely to Vett, who had accepted his apology quite quickly. Shortly after Vett was beaten for his Nunh position, he ran into Aran'sae and the Keeper patched him up at his home. They had a very personal conversation about the moon, sun, stars and what the elemental's say.

'''[[Mipije Papije]]''': X'vett met this little Lalafell at random in Ul'dah, and he quickly found interest in him. His enthusiasm interests Vett, as well as his thirst for knowledge that they share. He couldn't pronounce his name, so he gave him the nickname Mip-Map. The Lalafell is going to try and teach Vett how to read, and in turn Vett is going to try and help him better understand Miqo'te culture.

== RP Hooks ==
He goes fishing a lot and can be found in Middle La Noscea (15,15) a lot of the time when the weather is fair.
</p><p>He usually looks extremely awkward in the city.
</p><p>He walks really slow and it's easy to get stuck behind him when it's crowded.
</p><p>Often at sunset, you'll catch him singing the sun to sleep.
</p><p>Look at all those Gods damn freckles what the hell

== Quotes ==
"I would rather go through the pain of death than suffer another day thinking you hated me."
</p><p>"Never show fear to what you hunt, and never disrespect it or the land it lives on. If it's going to feed you, do not look at it with bad thoughts in your mind."
</p><p>"Music and song paints the most vibrant and beautiful picture of the heart and soul."
</p><p>"Maybe Menphina told Azeyma you were cold, and she's here to warm you up?"
</p><p>"Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right."
</p><p> "I bet [the elementals] were happy they weren't unheard, though. That'd be even more terrifying, I would think."

== Tiny facts ==
Vett has a pet Nanka, who he just found while out exporting around Hullbreaker Isle and he found it to be oddly cute. He was going to leave it where it was, but it ended up following him around and he keeps it. He feeds it the fish he doesn't want to eat himself while out fishing.
He gets lost very easy. Especially in the city.
</p><p>He finds it very easy to see the beauty in nature.
</p><p>Vett used to be scared of the dark because whenever he ventured out into it, a Keeper of the Moon child would jump out and scare him! He isn't completely over his nervousness in the dark.
</p><p>He refuses to cut his hair short, because he both likes it long, and his daughters like to play with it.
</p><p>He's a huge sucker for his daughters, and can be easily swayed by them if they try hard enough.
</p><p>Sunburns freak Vett out because he thinks Azeyma is mad at him.
</p><p>He is phobic of Roegadyn men
</p><p>Vett has a very bad memory and sometimes has to ask if he's met you until you've established a very close friendship with him.

</li></ul>

*"I wish he'd take better care of himself. I feel the urge to patch him up every time we meet." - [[Aran'sae Dia]]

*"X’vett is well versed in the cultivation of progeny and genealogy, and the preservation of said lineage. Yes indeedie! He will even permit his progeniture to revise his aesthetic nature to better parallel their philosophy and notions of the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime, the comic, etc. X’vett supports their view in establishing the meaning and validity of critical judgments concerning works of art and life, and the principles underlying or justifying such judgments. He’s an exquisite paternal parental unit." - [[Mipije Papije]]

*"I heard my mommy, X'leelha Shokha, had me with my daddy, X'vett, when my daddy became Nunh for a day at the age of 15. She said she hated all the other males in the Lynx tribe, so she took advantage of daddy's temporary title of Nunh before he was erm... defeated the next day. At least, that's what mommy says!" - [[X'vhana Vett]]

<h2> Basics </h2>
<p>Server: Balmung
</p><p>Name: X'vett (Pronounced She-veth)
</p><p>Age: 27
</p><p>Height: 5'8.2"
</p><p>Eye colour: Amber
</p><p>Hair colour: Dark Auburn
</p><p>Current tribe position: Tia
</p><p>Appearance: X'vett is fairly tall for a Miqo'te, often towering over his friends and tribemates. He has long hair that reaches past his shoulders and a floofy tail. He has a fair amount of freckles on his face, though on the rest of his body there is twice that amount and they cover everywhere. Sometimes he will have lipstick, facepaint or his hair up in ponytails or braids because his daughters get a hold of him and paint him up before he leaves for the day. He never has the heart to wash it off, and isn't embarrassed by it, simply because he knows they were proud of their work and he doesn't want them to be sad to see him come home without it on.
</p><p>He is not overly bulky, but he is muscular. As he hunts with a bow every day, he carries most of his muscle at his shoulders, arms and back.
</p><p>Please go to the 'artwork' section on this page for a reference sheet as well as other drawings!
</p><p>Vett walks with an off gait, and often limps. In the evening it's more obvious he's limping despite him trying to cover it up.
</p><p>Clothing: Vett doesn't wear much, saying he doesn't want to block Azeyma out. He wears loose, dark pants and a scarf around his waist, and a pair of old boots. Other than that, not much. Often he wears necklaces around his neck that his son and daughters made for him, since they said it'd make him lucky. He wears them almost every day! He also has a white ribbon with a red rose on his left wrist near all the time, which was made by one of his tribemates.
</p><p>Recently he got himself a tattoo on his left arm simply for aesthetics. Being uncomfortable with his body now that he's missing a good portion of it, he figured getting something special on the same side would make him feel better about it.

He gives a lot of personal space and would rather have a conversation across the room than face to face to avoid even the possibility of making a woman uncomfortable.

He likes to be close to people, and shows his affections through touch rather than words. The greatest indicator that shows you are a friend to him is when he knocks foreheads with you, as it's a sign of trust, respect, love and loyalty.
</p><p>He's recently become a little more suspicious of those in the city, 'especially' those who make advances on him.
<h2>Being Nunh</h2>
Vett became Nunh when he was 25, and has held the title mostly for the past three, going on four years. It's been on and off and he's been challenged and defeated quite often, but he has stepped up just as much to reclaim his position.
Recently he has been defeated once again, and is currently a Tia. He's taking time to recover his body and build strength before he takes back the position. Sure, he could just say he's done with it, he has many children with the tribe already, but he likes the job. He enjoys the responsibility, honour, respect and purpose it gives him. A Tia's job in the tribe is just as important, but he feels he suits the Nunh title far more and wants to hold it.

With being Nunh, he brings purpose to the tribe. He keeps the Tia strong, gives them a reason to become better than what they already are and motivates everyone to better themselves. It sets a bar, being Nunh. Many outside of the tribes see it as simply being either a sex addict, which isn't the case. The breeding part of the job, while important, isn't the main and only aspect of being Nunh that many see it as.

He currently has six children as follows:

X’noha Tia (3) Mothered by [[X'nala Rhaz]]

X’korolon Vett (near one year) Mothered by [[X'nala Rhaz]]

X'vett plans on taking back his position as Nunh.

== The Bard's Tale ==
X'vett took to being a Bard simply because he greatly enjoys poetry and song.
<p>It doesn't make him that much gil, singing in taverns and the like, but the rewards of doing so greatly outweigh any amount of income he can gather. He would rather see the looks of wonder, inspiration and otherwise new emotion and feeling in those who stay to hear his songs rather than hear the jingling of a coin purse. He often writes his own songs, and will sometimes listen to others stories and take on a job writing a song about them to play.
</p><p>He spends a good amount of time song writing, as he believes that song paints the most beautiful picture of the heart and soul of a person, and finds it much easier to speak his mind and show his feelings when he sings.
</p><p>He is certain he is going to continue to song write, and he hopes that through song, he inspires others to become better than they are and grow through these rough times. If he doesn't inspire, he hopes to bring wonder, and at the very least, entertainment. So long as he strikes something in another person, he's done his job.
</p><p>Sometimes when he speaks, he talks in a more poetic way. He uses a lot of allegories in his speech to get his points across, and the rhythm in which he speaks can sometimes be musical if you let him go on and on about something he's passionate about.
== Disability and physical limitations ==
He recently lost his left leg from the mid thigh down due to a run in with a cannibal craving a good steak, and using his trust and friendship against him, he lured Vett into his home and took the cut of meat he wanted. Because of this, Vett is fairly nervous around Roegadyns and will often hightail it to the nearest far far away when one comes too close. It takes a lot for him to give trust to a Roegadyn man, and even once they have it he is still cautious as it was a friend who took his leg.
</p><p>He paid a hefty fine for a blacksmith to fashion him a new leg that was lightweight and functional, as well as easy to hide. He took some time to pretty it up to make himself feel better, figuring that if it was more ascetically pleasing it wouldn't be as depressing. He can still feel his leg there from time to time, and will often scratch and itch or try to move his toes, which brings him near to tears when he is reminded his leg isn't there.
</p><p>He is hesitant to tell his tribe about this disability of his, because he's afraid a Tia will use it against him to take his place and they won't truly be worthy of the title and responsibility.

</p><p>Due to the severity of the injury Vett has a hard time running and keeping up with others, and needs to take his time when walking or simply standing up. He is pretty prone to falls if he puts too much weight on the leg, though most often it's simply because the knee either locked up or didn't straighten out before he took his step and he just falls over.

X'vett holds a very dear place in his heart and entire life to Azeyma. He often feels lost and unprotected when the sun isn't out, and over long periods of bad weather he can easily get really down emotionally.

When the sun is shining, he doesn't like wearing a lot of clothes as he doesn't like blocking Azeyma's warmth. The sunlight is like a little hug from Azeyma herself, and Vett cherishes it. When the sun isn't out, he feels disconnected from her and often worries that the sun just won't come back and Azeyma has left them. He has an understanding that everything revolves around Azeyma and the sun, and it keeps them alive, fed, and healthy.

He gets up every morning to enjoy the sunrise, and will often 'sing the sun to sleep' when nightfall comes. It brings him peace in the time where Azeyma is gone, and he believes that song will bring her right back to them in morning.

X'vett also holds a great deal of respect toward Menphina, Goddess of the moon. He feels a certain comfort with her at night because she makes it so that it isn't so dark. There is always light, because she is there. He finds peace in the moonlight as well, as the days are more active with life, while nights are calm and quiet, easier to think and dream.

He figures that Menphina passes on messages to Azeyma, and vice versa. Say, if you say you're cold at night, Menphina tells Azeyma to keep them extra warm when she brings the sun back.

He holds Azeyma much closer to his heart than he does with Menphina, but he views them both as equals. Their importance is easy for him to see, and there can't be one without the other.

<h2>Relationships and Sexuality</h2>
</p><p>While Vett is technically allowed to have romance outside of the tribe, he isn't allowed to procreate. Finding partners is difficult for him anyway, as many tend not to understand or be okay with his tribes duty while he's Nunh. Second to that, is finding those who want to be in a polyamourous relationship in the first place, as many don't generally want or accept that.
</p><p>He craves romance above all, and wants nothing more than to have many loving mates and just 'be' with them and have a large family together. Some may call him selfish, but he figures it's much less selfish of him to have many mates of all fulfill him in different ways than to have one mate and expect them to fulfill him in every way.
</p><p>While he wants romance and relationships, he doesn't want to fall into what so many other Nunh have while they spent their time in the city. He has already been thought of to be a sex addict and at the very worst, a rapist. Their actions directly affect him, and he tries to lead by example rather than just saying he isn't like them. Actions speak louder than words, and because of other Nunh's actions, his need to be louder because ''he doesn't want to be anything like them''.

He is Demisexual, not experiencing sexual attraction to anyone until a romantic or emotional bond is formed between the two of them. Race, sex, gender expression and so on make no difference to him in his attraction to someone, as personality and just 'clicking' with someone is far more important to him.

== Friends ==

'''Astro Mortim:''' Only recently have Astro and Vett really bonded, and he holds a great deal of respect and love for her, even admiration. She was the first he went to when he lost his leg, and ever since cherishes her more so than others. He trusts her completely, and would go out of his way to make her happy and keep her safe. While he doesn't know a lot about her currently, he wants nothing more than for her to open up to him about her life, struggles, goals, victories and everything in between. He looks forward to their friendship, and tries his best to make it known that he will be there for her no matter what.

'''Iggnasse Arbeau:''' Up until now, Vett thought they had something pretty solid, like a true romantic relationship. He is very hurt about it right now as Nasse told him that they were simply a 'friends with secrets' type deal, and he's hurt because he feels lead on. He changed a lot for Nasse because he felt that romantic bond with him, and took the time to learn about the city, learn to read and write enough to write the songs he wrote for him down and so on. It was a slap to the face, and Vett has a hard time trusting him now and feels used. He views him fairly negatively at the moment.

'''[[X'kohu Tia]]:''' X'kohu was a fairly close member of the tribe to Vett when they lived in the Shroud together. After the Calamity, they separated while Vett and near half of the tribe moved to take new territory in Thanalan, while the rest stay behind in the Shroud. They haven't spoken as much as they used to, however, Vett is still friendly with him and treats him like they hadn't been apart at all. If anyone were to surpass him, he'd want it to be X'kohu above anyone else.

'''B'ren Lyrgh''': After finding him accidentally invading his home, Vett tried to set B'ren on fire. Despite the odd circumstances, Vett views him positively. He felt a sense of pride when B'ren mentioned he was a good, proper Nunh, and he wants to continue to set the good example now that he's sure that it really does shine through that he doesn't follow the same path as the others tend to. He really enjoys B'ren's company.

'''[[X'Yue Tia]]''': Even though X'yue is an outcast of the tribe due to circumstances he couldn't change, Vett still holds a fair amount of respect for him. They haven't really known each other too long into their adulthood, as Vett is a fair amount older than Yue is, but still he tries to stop and see him whenever their paths cross and treats him as he would any other member of the tribe. Despite his mothers actions, Vett still considers him a tribe member and doesn't agree or like how he had become an outcast in the first place. Their bond isn't a strong one, and hasn't been around long but it's there enough that Vett is comfortable with Yue.

'''[[Honzo Kage]]''': Well if it isn't my good friend Honzo! After he tried to set X'vett up with Tyrenna, they had actually become friends. Recently Vett attempted to teach him how to hunt in La Noscea, and he thinks it went well and that Honzo learnt something. Their friendship is still in the works, but Vett views him positively and looks forward to getting to know him over the time they meet.

'''[[Mhastoum Greinsyn]]''': Vett thought that the Roe was going to eat his friends, and ran off a good number of times when he had approached him when he was caught spying on the group. When Mhastoum called him a butt toucher, Vett lost his temper with him quickly and they had a bit of a snip-snap at each other. Afterward when things cool off, the both of them apologized and Vett considers him a friend.

'''[[Aran'sae Dia]]''': When Vett thought that Mhastoum was going to eat his friends, and due to a rogue groper, and Vett running off, he assumed Vett had been the one to do it and became quite upset. He went to confront him, though Astro stopped him and told him that it would be out of character for him to do so. Dia had felt guilty and apologized profusely to Vett, who had accepted his apology quite quickly. Shortly after Vett was beaten for his Nunh position, he ran into Aran'sae and the Keeper patched him up at his home. They had a very personal conversation about the moon, sun, stars and what the elemental's say.

'''[[Mipije Papije]]''': X'vett met this little Lalafell at random in Ul'dah, and he quickly found interest in him. His enthusiasm interests Vett, as well as his thirst for knowledge that they share. He couldn't pronounce his name, so he gave him the nickname Mip-Map. The Lalafell is going to try and teach Vett how to read, and in turn Vett is going to try and help him better understand Miqo'te culture.

== Quotes ==
"I would rather go through the pain of death than suffer another day thinking you hated me."
</p><p>"Never show fear to what you hunt, and never disrespect it or the land it lives on. If it's going to feed you, do not look at it with bad thoughts in your mind."
</p><p>"Music and song paints the most vibrant and beautiful picture of the heart and soul."
</p><p>"Maybe Menphina told Azeyma you were cold, and she's here to warm you up?"
</p><p>"Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right."
</p><p> "I bet [the elementals] were happy they weren't unheard, though. That'd be even more terrifying, I would think."

== Tiny facts ==
Vett has a pet Nanka, who he just found while out exporting around Hullbreaker Isle and he found it to be oddly cute. He was going to leave it where it was, but it ended up following him around and he keeps it. He feeds it the fish he doesn't want to eat himself while out fishing.
He gets lost very easy. Especially in the city.
</p><p>He finds it very easy to see the beauty in nature.
</p><p>Vett used to be scared of the dark because whenever he ventured out into it, a Keeper of the Moon child would jump out and scare him! He isn't completely over his nervousness in the dark.
</p><p>He refuses to cut his hair short, because he both likes it long, and his daughters like to play with it.
</p><p>He's a huge sucker for his daughters, and can be easily swayed by them if they try hard enough.
</p><p>Sunburns freak Vett out because he thinks Azeyma is mad at him.
</p><p>He is phobic of Roegadyn men
</p><p>Vett has a very bad memory and sometimes has to ask if he's met you until you've established a very close friendship with him.

</li></ul>

*"I wish he'd take better care of himself. I feel the urge to patch him up every time we meet." - [[Aran'sae Dia]]

*"X’vett is well versed in the cultivation of progeny and genealogy, and the preservation of said lineage. Yes indeedie! He will even permit his progeniture to revise his aesthetic nature to better parallel their philosophy and notions of the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime, the comic, etc. X’vett supports their view in establishing the meaning and validity of critical judgments concerning works of art and life, and the principles underlying or justifying such judgments. He’s an exquisite paternal parental unit." - [[Mipije Papije]]

*"I heard my mommy, X'leelha Shokha, had me with my daddy, X'vett, when my daddy became Nunh for a day at the age of 15. My mommy was 24 back then, and she said she hated all the other males in the Lynx tribe, so she took advantage of daddy's temporary title of Nunh before he was erm... defeated the next day. At least, that's what mommy says!" - [[X'vhana Vett]]

<h2> Basics </h2>
<p>Server: Balmung
</p><p>Name: X'vett (Pronounced She-veth)
</p><p>Age: 27
</p><p>Height: 5'8.2"
</p><p>Eye colour: Amber
</p><p>Hair colour: Dark Auburn
</p><p>Current tribe position: Tia
</p><p>Appearance: X'vett is fairly tall for a Miqo'te, often towering over his friends and tribemates. He has long hair that reaches past his shoulders and a floofy tail. He has a fair amount of freckles on his face, though on the rest of his body there is twice that amount and they cover everywhere. Sometimes he will have lipstick, facepaint or his hair up in ponytails or braids because his daughters get a hold of him and paint him up before he leaves for the day. He never has the heart to wash it off, and isn't embarrassed by it, simply because he knows they were proud of their work and he doesn't want them to be sad to see him come home without it on.
</p><p>He is not overly bulky, but he is muscular. As he hunts with a bow every day, he carries most of his muscle at his shoulders, arms and back.
</p><p>Please go to the 'artwork' section on this page for a reference sheet as well as other drawings!
</p><p>Vett walks with an off gait, and often limps. In the evening it's more obvious he's limping despite him trying to cover it up.
</p><p>Clothing: Vett doesn't wear much, saying he doesn't want to block Azeyma out. He wears loose, dark pants and a scarf around his waist, and a pair of old boots. Other than that, not much. Often he wears necklaces around his neck that his son and daughters made for him, since they said it'd make him lucky. He wears them almost every day! He also has a white ribbon with a red rose on his left wrist near all the time, which was made by one of his tribemates.
</p><p>Recently he got himself a tattoo on his left arm simply for aesthetics. Being uncomfortable with his body now that he's missing a good portion of it, he figured getting something special on the same side would make him feel better about it.
<h2> Personality </h2>
</p><p>X'vett is a big awkward baby to put it simply.
<p>He is excessively cautious, especially around women as many assumed horrible things of him when he finally ventured into the city. He gives a lot of personal space and would rather have a conversation across the room than face to face to avoid even the possibility of making a woman uncomfortable.
</p><p>Once he gets to know someone, and learns their boundaries, earns their trust and friendship and is comfortable himself, there isn't much of a personal space thing anymore. He likes to be close to people, and shows his affections through touch rather than words. The greatest indicator that shows you are a friend to him is when he knocks foreheads with you, as it's a sign of trust, respect, love and loyalty.
</p><p>He's recently become a little more suspicious of those in the city, 'especially' those who make advances on him.
<h2>Being Nunh</h2>
Vett became Nunh when he was 25, and has held the title mostly for the past three, going on four years. It's been on and off and he's been challenged and defeated quite often, but he has stepped up just as much to reclaim his position.
Recently he has been defeated once again, and is currently a Tia. He's taking time to recover his body and build strength before he takes back the position. Sure, he could just say he's done with it, he has many children with the tribe already, but he likes the job. He enjoys the responsibility, honour, respect and purpose it gives him. A Tia's job in the tribe is just as important, but he feels he suits the Nunh title far more and wants to hold it.

With being Nunh, he brings purpose to the tribe. He keeps the Tia strong, gives them a reason to become better than what they already are and motivates everyone to better themselves. It sets a bar, being Nunh. Many outside of the tribes see it as simply being either a sex addict, which isn't the case. The breeding part of the job, while important, isn't the main and only aspect of being Nunh that many see it as.

He currently has six children as follows:

X’noha Tia (3) Mothered by [[X'nala Rhaz]]

X’luka Vett (2) Mothered by X'yandhi Taka

X’korolon Vett (near one year) Mothered by [[X'nala Rhaz]]

X’tandhaa Vett (less than a year) Mothered by X'oohn Niqe

X’zentsa Vett (less than a year) Mothered by X'zumyn Bhee

X’davzzi Vett (less than a year) Mothered by X'sonjha Khei

And one more on the way as of recently Mothered by [[X'nala Rhaz]]

X'vett plans on taking back his position as Nunh.

<br />
== The Bard's Tale ==
X'vett took to being a Bard simply because he greatly enjoys poetry and song.
<p>It doesn't make him that much gil, singing in taverns and the like, but the rewards of doing so greatly outweigh any amount of income he can gather. He would rather see the looks of wonder, inspiration and otherwise new emotion and feeling in those who stay to hear his songs rather than hear the jingling of a coin purse. He often writes his own songs, and will sometimes listen to others stories and take on a job writing a song about them to play.
</p><p>He spends a good amount of time song writing, as he believes that song paints the most beautiful picture of the heart and soul of a person, and finds it much easier to speak his mind and show his feelings when he sings.
</p><p>He is certain he is going to continue to song write, and he hopes that through song, he inspires others to become better than they are and grow through these rough times. If he doesn't inspire, he hopes to bring wonder, and at the very least, entertainment. So long as he strikes something in another person, he's done his job.
</p><p>Sometimes when he speaks, he talks in a more poetic way. He uses a lot of allegories in his speech to get his points across, and the rhythm in which he speaks can sometimes be musical if you let him go on and on about something he's passionate about.
== Disability and physical limitations ==
He recently lost his left leg from the mid thigh down due to a run in with a cannibal craving a good steak, and using his trust and friendship against him, he lured Vett into his home and took the cut of meat he wanted. Because of this, Vett is fairly nervous around Roegadyns and will often hightail it to the nearest far far away when one comes too close. It takes a lot for him to give trust to a Roegadyn man, and even once they have it he is still cautious as it was a friend who took his leg.
</p><p>He paid a hefty fine for a blacksmith to fashion him a new leg that was lightweight and functional, as well as easy to hide. He took some time to pretty it up to make himself feel better, figuring that if it was more ascetically pleasing it wouldn't be as depressing. He can still feel his leg there from time to time, and will often scratch and itch or try to move his toes, which brings him near to tears when he is reminded his leg isn't there.
</p><p>He is hesitant to tell his tribe about this disability of his, because he's afraid a Tia will use it against him to take his place and they won't truly be worthy of the title and responsibility.
</p><p>He hides the metal prosthetic with loose dark pants and long tailcoats and a scarf (as seen in the photo above)just in case some of the metal bits show under the fabric. It's just for that extra 'no one will ever see this' comfort.
For reference on what his leg looks like, see the following photo here:
[http://38.media.tumblr.com/b49cb6c27c5f0bd31c9007bd78a99ffd/tumblr_naom00YDTr1tefln4o1_400.jpg] (soon I will be getting a couple of photo's for true reference on Vett's body from head to metal toe! I will update this photo and section when it arrives)
</p><p>Due to the severity of the injury Vett has a hard time running and keeping up with others, and needs to take his time when walking or simply standing up. He is pretty prone to falls if he puts too much weight on the leg, though most often it's simply because the knee either locked up or didn't straighten out before he took his step and he just falls over.
</p><p>Some days are better than others pain wise. It's either a constant annoyance, or agony. It tends to hurt the most at the end of the day after he's traveled or walked around a little more than he should have, or if he took a tumble down some stairs (again.)but most often he can cover it up and carry on his day.

He gets up every morning to enjoy the sunrise, and will often 'sing the sun to sleep' when nightfall comes. It brings him peace in the time where Azeyma is gone, and he believes that song will bring her right back to them in morning.

X'vett also holds a great deal of respect toward Menphina, Goddess of the moon. He feels a certain comfort with her at night because she makes it so that it isn't so dark.

He couldn't pronounce his name, so he gave him the nickname Mip-Map. The Lalafell is going to try and teach Vett how to read, and in turn Vett is going to try and help him better understand Miqo'te culture.

He goes fishing a lot and can be found in Middle La Noscea (15,15) a lot of the time when the weather is fair.
</p><p>He usually looks extremely awkward in the city.
</p><p>He walks really slow and it's easy to get stuck behind him when it's crowded.
</p><p>Often at sunset, you'll catch him singing the sun to sleep.
</p><p>Look at all those Gods damn freckles what the hell

== Quotes ==
"I would rather go through the pain of death than suffer another day thinking you hated me."
</p><p>"Never show fear to what you hunt, and never disrespect it or the land it lives on. If it's going to feed you, do not look at it with bad thoughts in your mind."
</p><p>"Music and song paints the most vibrant and beautiful picture of the heart and soul."
</p><p>"Maybe Menphina told Azeyma you were cold, and she's here to warm you up?"
</p><p>"Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right."
</p><p> "I bet [the elementals] were happy they weren't unheard, though. That'd be even more terrifying, I would think."

== Tiny facts ==
Vett has a pet Nanka, who he just found while out exporting around Hullbreaker Isle and he found it to be oddly cute. He was going to leave it where it was, but it ended up following him around and he keeps it. He feeds it the fish he doesn't want to eat himself while out fishing.
He gets lost very easy. Especially in the city.
</p><p>He finds it very easy to see the beauty in nature.
</p><p>Vett used to be scared of the dark because whenever he ventured out into it, a Keeper of the Moon child would jump out and scare him! He isn't completely over his nervousness in the dark.
</p><p>He refuses to cut his hair short, because he both likes it long, and his daughters like to play with it.
</p><p>He's a huge sucker for his daughters, and can be easily swayed by them if they try hard enough.
</p><p>Sunburns freak Vett out because he thinks Azeyma is mad at him.
</p><p>He is phobic of Roegadyn men
</p><p>Vett has a very bad memory and sometimes has to ask if he's met you until you've established a very close friendship with him.

Here is a reference sheet that I commissioned from www.thedodolady.tumblr.com! She's super awesome and it turned out way better than I had hoped for! I'd recommend her to anyone, honestly, she's all around really awesome to talk to and she's a super nice person.

== Rumours ==
Feel free to add in rumours!
<h3>Common Rumours</h3>

</p><p>"He always stands so far off when talking to anyone. I mean, awkward."
<h3>Moderate Rumours</h3>
"I hear there's a nunh who fishes all day and makes bikinis out of them..."
</p><p>"I hear he's a Bard, but I never see him sing."
</p><p>"He walks with a really bad limp, I think he gets into fights a bunch."
<h3>Rare Rumours</h3>
<p> "I heard he hates chairs."
<h3>PC Rumours</h3>
<dl><dd><dl><dd><ul><li> "Mister Vett? Delightful man and simply delicious company! I recently had him over for lunch; we had a truly deep conversation and I could just tell that he was quite a bit lighter when he left." - [[Burning Blood]]
</li></ul>

*"I wish he'd take better care of himself. I feel the urge to patch him up every time we meet." - [[Aran'sae Dia]]

*"X’vett is well versed in the cultivation of progeny and genealogy, and the preservation of said lineage. Yes indeedie! He will even permit his progeniture to revise his aesthetic nature to better parallel their philosophy and notions of the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime, the comic, etc. X’vett supports their view in establishing the meaning and validity of critical judgments concerning works of art and life, and the principles underlying or justifying such judgments. He’s an exquisite paternal parental unit." - [[Mipije Papije]]

"I heard my mommy, X'leelha Shokha, had me with my daddy, X'vett, when my daddy became Nunh for a day at the age of 15. My mommy was 24 back then, and she said she hated all the other males in the Lynx tribe, so she took advantage of daddy's temporary title of Nunh before he was erm... defeated the next day. At least, that's what mommy says!" [[X'vhana Vett]]
