Uncertain  F A M I L Y Kanaria Melkire ( ♥ ) - My Beloved Beautiful, compassionate, and wickedly clever, this woman stole Osric's heart when she first took his breath away. Given that they initially met under perilous circumstances... and across the battlefield, at that... it would not be presumptuous to assume that Menphina Herself might have brought these two together. They have passed through trial after trial together and survived. Osric's loyalty and dedication to Kanaria should not be underestimated.

Use these freely! ■ "Osric? Decent bloke, for a foreigner. Has had a hand in foiling many a plot against the Jewel, or so I hear. Word is he's working these suns for the nobility up north in Ishgard. Good on him." - Rand, Brass Blade ■ "Troublesome. No longer with us. Court martial. Hmm? Oh, I knew him for... five, perhaps six cycles? The commander and I liked him well enough, but he proved too much the lone wolf. Excellent hand at improvisation, though. Credit where credit is due." - Burning Peak, First Flame Lieutenant ■ "Aye, Melkire, sure. Used to run with the Jackals, that one. Called him Rings, we did, on account of his knack for sleight o' hand. Doesn't matter how much he claims to hate sharping, the lads still won't sit down to a game o' cards with him." - Worthy Jetsam, Lominsan Privateer ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "He cost me a REPUTATION and a FORTUNE and a DECENT LIVING! So I went digging! I swept the GUTTERS, I swept the STREETS, Twelve be damned I even swept the HIGH SOCIETY! And do you KNOW what ol' Yayabuko FOUND? His alias! His OLD alias! The man you call Melkire is none other than DIRK! Dirk PROBLEMSOLVER! ...what's that? You don't know what a PROBLEMSOLVER is?! A THIEF! A THUG! AN ASSASSIN! He was the BEST and WORST of the LOT! SIX CYCLES, you hear me? SIX GODS FORSAKEN CYCLES! Burglary, robbery, intimidation, bribery, blackmail, WETWORK! He has a RECORD, and I will arrange matters such that he will NEVER be able to WORK in Limsa Lominsa EVER AGAIN! HAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAAAAA! " - Yayabuko, Lominsan Information Broker ■ "Man's a criminal. Petty thief, and a murderer to boot. Tried to run from Merlwyb, got as far as Vesper. So there he is, 'bout to have his brains painted all over the dock, right, when Raubahn himself shows up. Now Merlwyb, she grants Melkire one last request, as per the Lominsan custom, and Melkire, he challenges the General to single combat. Says if he wins, Raubahn's honor-bound to save his life. And the Bull, he accepted, and Melkire, he won. So Raubahn holds up his end, see, beats the Admiral's hundred-man crew senseless and kicks Merlwyb herself back into the sea. Aye, that's how it happened, and don't let anyone tell you different." - Trachtoum the Tidus Slayer ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "They say Merlwyb's Ghost cannot be found 'n' cannot be caught. They say the Ghost finds 'n' catches you. Baubles o' shadow, hooks o' steel, net o' the damned. He curses Nymeia 'n' prays to Thal. Fishwife's tale, I'd say... were it not for how the Maelstrom seem t'jump at the very mention o' the moniker." - Baensyng of Hawkers' Alley ■ "No, no, I don't want to... listen, I shouldn't... he'll kill me, you understand? Just... just go! I've seen him frequent the Knight, and he's seen me, and he'll know I-- you won't? Not a word? Hah! As if you'd... you're serious. By the Fury, don't you get it? I shouldn't have been there! Shouldn't have seen! No, no, listen... I'd had a little too much, you understand? Went for a stroll through the Brume. Heard the screaming, but I was too late. Children. So many children. And there he was, midst all the corpses! Knew him on sight! The demon drenched in midnight! From the Grindstone! The Fisher King!" - Drunken Adventurer ◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own! ■ "Intangible. He slipped, he'll slip again, and slip away." - Kahn'a Ohditra ■ "I leave Ul'dah for... for how long? It does not matter. I leave and now he is having children! Can you believe it?" - Delial Grimsong ■ "Ran into him the other night when dealing with someone less pleasant. Baited Mirke off with some liquor. Tried to warn him about someone, but I fear he didn't understand.... I suppose I will have to find him later." - Franz Renatus ■ "Whether an inch or a mile, give that man no rope. He will cut it all off and still escape the noose." - Ser Crofte ■ "Tends to keep to himself and his own. Recently showed back up, and I think I've got an idea what that means. He knows where to find me if I'm right." - Warren Castille ■ "He cares when he should not. But he also keeps his blades sharp. He knows how to cut and cut deeply, without regrets. Perhaps that should have been the lesson I asked of him long ago." - Roen Deneith ■ "Strong. Ripe with potential and a will that shines like the sun. He will shake the world around him, this I can see." - Berrod Armstrong ■ "Simple; and way too trusting of people." - Ki Grimsong ■ "I hope he's keeping himself out of trouble. He has had a bad habit of bringing it to him and I hope he's calmed down a bit since then." - Sizha'to Chalahko ■ "I used to think I would walk this life alone, but love was found and returned. Now I walk beside my beloved. He is my sun, my moon, my stars... my world." - Kanaria Melkire ■ "The Sergeant is a living embodiment of my political philosophy. Even a low born, suspicious and scruffy ruffian such as Melkire is able to resist the impulses of his low breeding and perform admirably. The people can be trusted with power after all." - Evangeline Primrose ■ "I heard all about how he dealt with the fallout of the 'Redgrave' situation. Already knew he was good, but now I think I wouldn't mind following him for a while." - Jana Ridah ■ "Seems like 'e's got a good head on 'is shoulders. Were it we met undah better circumstances, but I like 'im." - Nahare Mergrey ■ "Osric is...he's a pillar, no a tower would be a better analogy. He's buffeted by strong winds and sometimes he sways but he always holds true." - Siha Xinkei ■ "This one sees qualities of a charismatic and fearless leader, while still holding a love for all whom are dear to. Easily a soul worth admiring based on first impressions." - Tsaganarii Dhoro ■ "Killed this one once. Can he rise forth and find the way to do so again? Should he fail, he will lose... everything." - Jin'li Epinoch ■ "A man solid in his b'liefs, strong n' protective of his own. I highleh respect him, n' he was the one that allowed me ta guard Sasazi. I owe him fer that alone." - Nazyl Tharazyl ■ "The man has too many friends, or even those who ain't friends who just won't turn on 'em. They can't all be blind tae what he really is though, right?" - Brynnalia Callae S C R E E N S H O T S Dirk Problemsolver Lominsan at Heart Praying to Oschon Counter!
