He pours himself into all manner of study, and as result excelled in all fields of aetheric manipulation (thaumaturgy, conjury, and arcanima) and some sciences such as alchemy though due to a past incident, remains tightlipped about his talents. He struggles with the concept of vengeance most of all, though recent developments mean all thoughts of it are sated... for now.

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Childhood'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mir'a is originally of Thavnair, and the only son of the (notorious in Thavnair) Matriarch Mir Ain. Mir'a wasn't exactly an asset to his unit, due to being absolutely appalling at archery, hunting, and most of the known disciples of war. Within an active hunting unit he was more of a hindrance than anything. His sisters overtook him astoundingly quickly, and Mir'a himself was deemed useless after repeated attempts at teaching him how to hunt. His mother contemplated whether the best thing to do with her son would be to trade him at the desert state of Radz-At-Han for supplies or just leave him behind. Mir'a learned to repair his sister's bows and lances in order to try and contribute ''something'' and to put off his own demise - but anything he could muster wasn't quite enough. On a certain expedition (of attacking a merchant caravan bound for Radz-At-Han) he expressed interest in an artifact his sister, Mihl, took from the caravan and was planning on using to fuel the unit's fires that night. A dusty tome - Gridanian in origin - detailing extremely basic conjury. Most likely training material for prospective Gridanian conjurers, yet Mir'a was entranced by the pictures within the book. Mihl allowed him to take possession of the thing after she'd deemed it useless and Mir'a studied it, picking up the basics of conjury astoundingly quickly. He learned the contents of the entire book within a single night. Mir, seeing some use in her son after all, decided to allow him to remain with the unit as a healer. (And to repair bows.) Mihl made a point of collecting varying aetherial items from raids for Mir'a from that point on, and he studied fervently, finding the subject matter of great interest. He was good at it too - Even his mother had to remark that although Mir'a's physical suitability was unlikely to ever become half of what she required of all members of her unit, his mental suitability was higher than any conjurer she might have seen.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Ul'dah and Thaumaturge'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mir'a would have been contented to stay with his mother and sisters throughout his life - but at maturity was sent away from his mother's unit (as per their unit's custom) for Mir to raise new young unhindered by her old - unhindered by their "claims" to territories within the Thavnairian desert. Mir'a found his way to Eorzea, taking a position as an alchemist within Ul'dah. Eventually Mir'a found his way into the Thaumaturge guild of Ul'dah and found work completing vengeance orders as an apprentice thaumaturge. (Vengeance orders are a 1.0 thaumaturge storyline thing. Essentially, the deceased surrenders every iota of wealth they possess / have possessed within their lifetime to the Ossuary in order to pass to the realm of Thal. Thaumaturges are then dispatched to make sure whomever ended the deceased's life ends up the same way as the deceased.) Mir'a worked his way to becoming quite an asset to the order by completing a number of vengeance orders promptly, swiftly, and without complaint. How well he performed earned him the good graces of the Order, though also earned him a number of enemies within the guild. His enemies were novices alike himself which could not compare to the young miqo'te's gift at aetheric manipulation. It was easy to get rid of Mir'a for them. They were hardened and jaded Ul'dahn citizens, and Mir'a was a trusting, ignorant outsider that had absolutely no idea, thanks to his life with his mother's unit within Thavnair, of what it even was to lie. That, and he barely spoke Eorzean. Mir'a's rivals formulated an event which led to a respected and high-ranking Ul'dahn official's death - the blame placed solely at the feet of Mir'a's mentor - a prelate within the Thaumaturge guild. Doctrine dictates that a Thaumaturge cannot take vengeance against one of the Order. Mir'a obeyed that doctrine - but when this prelate died in very suspect circumstances, became subject to vengeance order himself thanks to "testimony" from his rivals, accusing him of stabbing the Hellsguard to death with a ceremonial dagger -- something which was planted on him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Limsa Lominsa, and Summoner'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | With the aid of a particular Sultansworn, Mir'a fled Ul'dah to Limsa Lominsa. He picked up a job as an appraiser of imports - an arcanist. His skill at aether manipulation meant that arcanism came particularly quickly to him, though he was changed. He became utterly inward - he barely communicated with anyone, and kept himself to himself. He was worried of course that the Ossuary would find him, and his ordeal had led him to believe that he couldn't trust anybody. While he attempted to be nothing but average at arcanism, talent is talent, and he found himself rising quite quickly within the guild. He eventually left to the guild's dismay, having heard rumours from sailors of men called "summoners" which held the power to harness Primals to their wills - and a dark swordsman within the South Shroud. And he researched. He researched and researched the lost art of summoning, and eventually, finally, came into possession of a Soul of the Summoner via trade with a particular pirate. This pirate had discovered the soul crystal in the cargo hold of a captured vessel which belonged to the Sons of Saint Coinarch, deemed it an emerald, hoped to sell it... found it worthless within Limsa Lominsa as no buyer knew exactly what it was, and sold it to Mir'a for 200gil - drinking money.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''The Dark Divinity (Fission mailed.)'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Three months of searching later, Mir'a finally realized what it was to miscalculate.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Having the Soul of the Summoner made Mir'a consider the very real possibility of vengeance against the thaumaturges that conspired against him, and he put everything he had, over the course of a year into researching the mounted swordsman within the Black Shroud which locals called "The Dark Divinity". He pored over countless tomes depicting the Allagan legend of Wiyu and Urth- summoners which were said to have sealed the elder primal. Mir'a was arrogant. He had decided that with the power of Odin he could obtain his vengeance. After a year he set out to the Black Shroud to find and challenge, the Dark Divinity in order to convert some of his energy into his first egi. He didn't stand a chance. The Dark Divinity overpowered him entirely and completely, and he prepared himself to die, alike so many others the Wood Wailers had remarked had been found dismembered and decapitated within the shroud when the Dark Divinity rode. His spells did nothing. His power did nothing. His talent, something which had grew and grew throughout the years did nothing. Against the power of an elder primal, he was lost. That is, until Odin himself spoke to him- instead of landing the killing blow. He was called brave, and a fool. Jaded, and a child. Odin had seen into his soul in the battle, and saw what exactly he fought for. Mir'a sought power to right wrongs, Odin had decided. They were similar in that respect. Mir'a sought power alike those of Allag had sought power - without concern for where that power would come from. The miqo'te's conviction meant that he would live, but his arrogance meant that he would be maimed. His maiming was worse than any arm or leg being removed. Odin was a primal -- exalted or not -- and he craved aether. Mir'a had every. last. shred of his own aether drained from him, the same way he hoped to drain the aether from Odin in order to make his egi. His body went into aetherial shock, and the Soul of the Summoner shattered. By the time the mist clinging to the shroud cleared, he was unconscious and left within the forest in an almost vegetative state -- barely able to form words, let alone move.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Rescue, and Dark Knight'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | A travelling Auri warrior - Tuva Dalamiq - new to Eorzea, hopelessly lost, and having seen a miqo'te for the first time, duly plucked the stammering miqo'te from the ground and carried him away to safety. It took Mir'a around a week in order to collect himself again, and his relief at not dying was quickly replaced by horror at the fact that he couldn't. actually. leave. his. saviour. The Au ra apparently had taken a bit of a shine to him (babbling and drooling nonwithstanding), and in his tribe, carrying someone off meant that they were married. <I>Married.</i> Too weak to leave, Mir'a endured the other's company within his encampment, and listened to all of his chatter, learning that apparently, this Xaela was the heir of the Dalamiq tribe. Outcasted for generally being an ass. He was supposed to travel the world and learn ~*~ how to be a better person ~*~ before he showed his face again. Mir'a learned that Tuva figured that marriage would totally show his parents that he was ready to grow up and be responsible, and Mir'a, apparently, struck him (from the ground) as a female Xaela. Without scales. And with a weird tail. And he'd decided that they were married. Apparently. Left on his own during the day when the other hunted, and alone at night when the other slept, Mir'a considered his options. His power was gone, but new power had arrived in a very unexpected avenue. This guy, after all, spoiled brat or not, was heir to having an army. An army of warriors, that one day, would be taking his orders. Staying around with Tuva, listening to him, acting like he wanted to be there seemed the perfect way to actually get vengeance upon the guild which he still resented. He traveled willingly with the au ra, biding his time until Tuva would inherit his tribe.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Wolves'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | The pair traveled for approximately a year. Eventually they found Ishgard -- and Mir'a attracted the attention of the Dark Knights of the Brume. Mir'a's dealings with a dark knight led to him training himself as one, with intention of strengthening himself for the day the makeshift army he and Tuva would one day inherit would clash against Ul'dah. Between trips to Ishgard, he trained and strengthened himself with Tuva's assistance - Tuva taking odd jobs for funding. Unfortunately, Tuva's exploits meant that the couple begun to attract the attention of House Trebair, a minor house of Ishgard with the ambition and delusion to eventually become a new High House. Trebair had it's own problems. Military force in Eorzea was anointed knights. Knights valued honour far above payment. Hence, most knights worth anything would not work for House Trebair, whos lofty goals and high ambition was decidedly against Ishgardian humility. Trebair's solution was to take advantage of the influx of newcomers to Ishgard that followed Ishgard joining the Eorzean Alliance and form their own "order" based upon the backs of these foreigners. Tuva had become known to them, and Mir'a's background as a dark knight was used as leverage to recruit the pair and have Mir'a - decidedly the more intelligent of the two, recruit more into their personal guard; an organization they dubbed the Wolves. The Dark Knights of the Brume are not an organization with many rules, but the ones they had were strict. Any one of them that worked with the High Houses, Minor Houses, Temple Knights - any of the organizations tainted with corruption was to die. Trebair originally blackmailed Mir'a with the threat of reporting him as a Dark Knight to the Tribunal, though later changed their threat to informing the Dark Knights of the Brume that he was a member of the Wolves. Trapped, Mir'a began to work within the shadows for House Trebair.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Betrayal'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Wolves grew to a small company some time later tasked with obtaining three stones of a strange material, only known as 'Magicite.' Not much was known about these stones, only the fact that they were utterly priceless and possessing of a great power. And that House Trebair wanted them. Busied by his task, Mir'a didn't notice Tuva start to become distant. Their objective to seize the stones was ultimately successful, and the rest of the Wolves left Mir'a and Tuva with delivery to House Trebair. Mir'a was genuinely surprised to find all three stones missing, and Tuva gone. The xaela had returned to his village in Orthard with the stones -- convinced that the power within them would be able to help his people against the threat of the Garlean Empire and Dotharl. Mir'a found himself at an utter loss for what to do save for one option. He carried on as normal. He formed his meeting with House Trebair, and forcefully took (what he thought) was all documentation pertaining to the Wolves - contracts which had been used as a veiled threat against each member since their formation. Then he killed the noble family, their servants, and burned the building down.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He left a single contract behind -- the contract that he (thought) belonged to Tuva, implicating him directly for House Trebair's downfall. Revenge. In Mir'as mind, if he couldn't get revenge for Milranth Sacrarium within Ul'dah, he'd get revenge for this.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He then distributed the recovered paperwork to the Wolves, telling them to run, and retreated to the Brume, confessing all and submitting himself to the vengeance of all that called themselves Dark Knights. His reasoning was that if he had to die, he wanted it to be at their hands as in his mind, he had only betrayed one faction -- them. What came was not death. A mixture of things -- namely Mir'as confession, the implication surrounding his betrayal and most importantly the fact a lot of prominent dark knights had met their end at the hands of the temple knights of late -- meant that execution wasn't viable. Instead, Mir'a was soundly beaten and chastised, and allowed entry into the ranks once more. He remained in the underbelly of Ishgard for some time, assisting the poor and the downtrodden alongside other dark knights.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Atonement'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Within the Brume, Mir began to notice several posters go up regarding a [[Lady_Kokomo|wanted criminal]] associated with the murder of House Trebair and the incineration of their manor. Upon examination of these missives, Mir'a realized to his horror that the criminal mentioned was not Tuva Dalamiq, it was a young au ra he'd recruited some time after Tuva and he had joined the wolves. He didn't understand why she would be implicated, speaking to the Dark Knights of the Brume regarding the matter. He obtained permission to leave Ishgard to locate and protect the Raen from the Theocrassy's spies, scouts, and the temple knights that would be sent to drag her back to Ishgard. Mir'a left Ishgard proper, eventually locating her within the Black Shroud -- taking cover underneath an organization that called itself Everen Academy. Mir'a approached Kokomo, and the pair of them came to the realization that the reason Kokomo was being hunted was something akin to a comedy of error. Both she and Tuva were illiterate and signed their contracts with marks. The pair's markings had been misfiled. On the day Mir'a had razed House Trebair to the ground Tuva's contract was given to Kokomo, and Kokomo's herself was left behind. This was the cause of a deep divide between Kokomo and Mir'a, and the cause of a very justifiable hatred toward him from her. Against her wish for him to simply leave, Mir'a devoted himself to protecting her against whatever Ishgard would send, even joining Everen Academy as an alchemy tutor as a cover. He became Kokomo's 'knight', much to her annoyance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Vengeance'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Upon his time at Everen within the Black Shroud, Mir'a started to experience discomfort and pain. He found that Everen Academy was situated in the Black Shroud, not far from the South Shroud, and Urth's Fount. Inexplicably, the wounds inflicted upon him by the Dark Divinity started to make themselves known again in the form of pain which worsened at every turn. Mir'a eventually reached out to the only man he could -- the Sultansworn which assisted him in escaping Ul'dah, and upon his advice begun to journey to Urth's Fount in order to seek council from Odin himself. At this meeting, Odin informed Mir'a that he was not killed during their meeting for a reason. Odin had glanced into his soul as he fought and saw that the Miqo'te came to him out of desperation. And he had sympathized. Vengeance was obviously a subject very close to Odin himself as result of his own desire for vengeance through bloody misdeeds of the past at the hands of the Allagan empire. The pair had reached an accord, Odin had decided, and his act of draining Mir'as own aether had claimed him as his - as Muninn, one of Odin's own eyes upon Eorzea. Mir'a was to have the power to get his revenge upon Assuranth Ossuary and every thaumaturge within - Odin's own power of darkness which had benefited him so well as a dark knight, but in exchange, once his vengeance was complete was to die as he should have at the meeting with Odin, and his soul would serve Odin within his halls as Einherjar -- body becoming the next Divinity -- Odin's next link to the mortal world. Mir'a, thanks to his mistakes with Kokomo, had learned that vengeance was an unobtainable thing. He'd very much had a change of heart from the fact that the small act of getting some form of revenge against Tuva had ended so horribly, and begged Odin for the chance to annul the deal. Odin, however, was beyond reason. The Divinity told Mir'a one simple thing. "Sate thy wrath" , and disappeared -- leaving Mir'a alone within the Black Shroud to consider the course ahead of him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Thaliak's Eye'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kokomo and her partner; a half-hyur half-elezen named [[Yvon_Edmont|Yvon Edmont]], left Everen Academy without Mir's knowledge, and upon refinding the couple, had found that they had formed an information gathering Company known as Thaliak's Eye -- which posed as nothing but a simple bar within the Lavender Beds. Mir found Yvon within Limsa Lominsa and received (to his surprise) an employment offer - mostly formed from the fact that he had most likely saved Yvon's life previously within Everen Academy. Mir'a began to work for the Eye within an advisory capacity, continuing to guard Kokomo... who showed no signs of accepting his protection, nor forgiving him for his mistake within Ishgard. A battle within an affiliate company required his presence. He attended to watch the foray, but when [[Gohtkoen_Maetiabylsyn|a warrior]] deeming himself "The Axe of Karma" turned upon him - having lost his control of the inner beast. Sensing it's link upon Eorzea was in immediate danger, the Dark Divinity itself retaliated, answering Mir'as call and forming for a split second. A sliver of time was all that was needed - The Warrior was incapacitated via a blast from the Divinity, in plain sight of Kokomo. Disgusted and afraid of what was in their Company, Yvon forged a deal with an Ishgardian criminal whom called himself the Owl to fake Kokomo's death in the middle of Ishgard. Having no part in it, Mir'a learned from the Dark Knights of the Brume that he had failed his objective to protect her. He didn't correct the fact they were running on false information, and when he was told to return to Ishgard, left the organization. Kokomo, after seeing the Divinity, started to speak to Mir'a again - angered that he had kept the fact concealed from her. Mir'a responded that he saw no reason to inform her, as the pact had been made far before he had ever met her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He told her that the fact she was believed to be dead meant that he no longer had any obligation to stay with her as her guard. Kokomo agreed. Mir'a no longer served as her bodyguard, instead staying as her friend and Yvon's advisor.

He’s a hag - or a male version of a hag. He's gone now. He challenged the Dark Divinity and was left for dead. Why the Old One didn't kill him, I don't know. Perhaps leaving him to die maimed was a crueller fate?</i> (Couerlclaw)

He was seen passing in and passing out at varying days, until that one day. He went in. He came out, covered in blood. Retreated somewhere into the Brume. And the other occupants of the house?

| − | : <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Lady Kokomo]] : Mir's first recruit with the Crimson Wolves. While indeed Mir thought that he managed to obtain her paperwork from House Trebair shortly before it's fall, he doesn't know that the investigating Temple Knights found it in the house after he fled. While he works alongside her now, he feels a very real sense of remorse for his part in her misfortunes and feels like he owes her a great deal. Following her discovery of the fact he is of Odin, more tensions have surfaced, despite the fact he is resolved to train her as a dark knight.

Miir'a spoke to Shawn at length in regard to the battle of Carteneau, and listened to Shawn's tale of his father's death within it. Also aware of Shawn's trials as he became a black mage. Sees Shawn as something like a friend, brought home with recent interaction with him after a long time. Shawn is the only person which knew of Mir'a's plan to gain power, and has assisted him in an advisory capacity ever since.

Hel possesses an easy, friendly, and very approachable demeanor, and Mir does not feel intimidated by his presence. Mir recognizes within Hel the potential to become an astounding alchemist. He looks forward to and listens fervently to tales from Hel's homeland - especially those of the Black Wind.

| − | : <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Tuva Dalamiq]] : Seperated. After Miir'a challenged Odin, he was left for dead within the shroud, body in a state of shock, all elemental aether removed from him. He would have died, were it not for Tuva -- a travelling Xaela whom, new to Eorzea and having seen a miqo'te for the first time, promptly carried him off the same way one would a stray cat. Unfortunately for Miir'a, the xaela happened to think he was <i>adorable.</i> Even more unfortunately, the act of carrying off something you find interesting, in Tuva's tribe, meant that they were married. This of course was annulled in Mir's mind when he was betrayed. Even if some part of him understands Tuva's reasons, and some part of him still worries for him, he can't forget the betrayal and refuses to speak of him, even to his closest friends.

| − | '''Soul stones'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Lorewise, there are multiple cases of multiple job stones. (Dragoon, Summoner, Dark Knight, Black mage, to name a few) so I find it feasible that a character could find themselves with a job stone under very different circumstances than the player character in job-based storylines. Of course, they're still remarkably rare. Hence, Mir has one. (and has possessed two, but his summoner one was destroyed)

| − | '''Odin'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please keep in mind that Mir studied the dark divinity for over a year via every. single. book. in Eorzea he could get his hands on -- and everything he earned going toward the purchase of said books. This involves legends, myths, and fact. Due to the fact the Moogle delivery quests show knowledge of Odin is indeed common within the black shroud, someone attempting to take a stab at him is feasible, even if a dumb move on their part. For Mir, desperation drove him to take a shot at Odin (even if it was an entirely stupid idea.) Fernehawe's commentary about Odin not particularly being a bad guy, just depicted as one via He Who Writes History is a large part of the reason he didn't kill Mir. And yes, as a disclaimer, I am writing Odin's personality based on the fact it's a constant in previous FF games. The scenario of the Pact is mainly inspired by the past depictions of Odin in other FF games. Some creative license, of course - but Mir has not gained any power from Odin during their encounter unlike the Blackheart or Lilith from XI, or Cecil Harvey from IV. In fact, it was the opposite. Mir lost everything he had thanks to the mistake of taking Odin on - and the storyline was developed in order to grant Mir, as a character, foresight - something he lacked before.

| − | '''Aetherial shock'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | A term that I pulled out of my head. I'll fess up to that. Aetherial shock essentially means that while the aether that makes up Mir is untouched, he is absolutely unable to perform anything which requires usage or manipulation of aether. This includes Conjury, Thaumaturgy, and Arcanism... all gone. Should he feel pushed enough, in an emergency, to perform any of the above, he's actually using his own aether, alike the 2.0 NPC Sylphie, from the conjurer storyline. Put simply, it is not advised. Dark Knight is somewhat different via the fact it's spells are not manipulation of aether. It's manipulation of the darkness of the soul stone holder's soul -- and often a lot of emotion is part of that. So, he can perform dark magic spells with no longstanding effect on his health.
