◢ Uncommon Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)

- ■ "Word is, he went over... uneasy. I'm uneasy, so I am. Not sure I want to be hearing from him anytime soon." -- Momodi
◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)
- ■ "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
◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from Playable Characters, Feel Free to Add!)
- ■ "I suspect he is a decent man. I could be wrong. He seems... decent. Yes." - Delial Grimsong
- ■ "I want to be angry with him really badly, yet I understand the man was in shackles, and threw away what little freedom he had for a hope of redemption... Damn you Osric, I can't condone what you've been forced to do to protect your dear one, but I know you're a good man deep down... And my friend." - Kahn'a Od'hilkas
- ■ "He gave me a lesson on survival once. It returned to me when I least expected it. Now I will never forget it." - Roen Deneith
- ■ "I'd kill the Sultana herself if Osric ordered it; I owe him that much for all the times he's saved my sorry ass. He's one of the best things that ever happened to Ul'dah or me and I'll break anyone who says different, even though he does have an obsession with attacking from behind and dirt sandwiches. Those hurt by the way. " - Askier Mergrey
- ■ "This man is a thief! He's stolen everything from me and will not give it back! Not that I really want any of it back, it's his to keep because I know he'll take very good care of what he's got. I'm keeping close tabs on my bottle of 'Pineapple Juice' though... That's mine! " - Kanaria Galanodel
- ■ "'Have a little more faith in me,' he said. So I did. Because that's what friends do, even if you think they did something horrifically stupid. But where did that end up? Getting punched by him and him later laughing at it. And I caught a glimpse of him drawing his axe to Kahn'a. I know he was controlled, but that doesn't suppress feelings of betrayal. And right now, I feel horrifically betrayed by him." - Sizha'to Chalahko
- ■ "His jaw cries out to be connected to my fist. Also he's good at his job I guess." - Natalie Mcbeef
- ■ "Master Adin gave him the gift of suffering, Master Rema gave him the gift of kindness. The slave shall give him the gift of servitude." - Jin'li Epinoch
- ■ "Reminded me vhat once cared for. Put me to good use, do not regret service." - Alexei Volkov
- ■ "I find his methods distasteful. So long as his loyalties remain clear, I can overlook those failings." - Coatleque Crofte
- ■ "I've got lots to say and ask him the next we meet. Lots of double standards to say the least." - Kage Kiryuu
- ■ "The Sergeant's intentions are in the right place. We can't find many of those nowadays." - Xydane Vale
- ■ "He was so unassuming when I first met him, but I don't know what we'd do now without him. He seems to know everything, and anything he doesn't know, he knows how to find out." - Aya Foxheart
- ■ "He seems te be honest an' trustworthy enough, rare traits in a place such as Ul'dah, though, I get th' feelin' he won' be puttin' another knife te my throat any time soon." - Gharen Wolfsong
- ■ "Osric? I owe him my life. See, we were in some trouble in Northern Thanalan, and a woman almost died. I thought with my heart and leapt to save her.I did, but I almost got myself killed as well. He in turned jumped to save me after sending a message back to deal with bigger trouble in Ul'dah, and most likely ended up saving both of us. I see him as a friend, though I don't know if he thinks of me as one, and I honestly want to be a little more like him. Thinking with my head instead of my heart." - Zachary Evans
- ■ "He and I are of a kind, though I think he'd be loathe to admit it. I don't like him and I know he doesn't like me. Yet, in a perverse sort of way, I can trust him." - C'kayah Tia
- ■ "Osric hasn't come by much lately, and I've heard some really ominous things. Yes, I am worried. For Osric, and for us." - Aya Foxheart
- ■ "An excellent customer! Rarely have I seen someone display such a fine appreciation for the dubious. I can only hope he finds his plot devices of value." - Verad Bellveil
- ■ "You got a problem with my brother? Take it up with Mister Scoopers.. I'll clean up what's left. Gah! I'm ruttin' hungry!" - Leilani Belle
- ■ "I pray for the day he can finally retire and stop getting into danger." - Aldyet Lannis
- ■ "Seems alright. Man owes me a debt, which jus' means I like him more'n most." - Cenric Amaril
- ■ "After recent events, I wanted to hate him, but I can not. I can not be a hypocrite and say I would not go to extremes for the ones I love most. His sin is already done, so I say, let him redeem himself now." Kiht Jakkya
- ■ "He brought what looked like an army after one crazy miqo'te. Wish I had connections like that." - Franz Renatus
