RELATIONS
♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Attraction ♥ Platonic ● Ally ● Neutral ● Rival
◢ The Family
- ♥ A'ahdra Korofi : “The soul.” A'ahdra is everything to Mikh'a, and he would sooner die than see her betrayed. They've been together through quite literally everything in their lives up to this point and it's only recently and necessity that has separated them. She means everything to him, she knows everything about him, and he the same for her. Their recent distance upsets him, a quiet woe he keeps to himself.
- ♥ Khit Relanah : “The baby.” The youngest, Khit is the heart and soul behind the twins' decision to flee Garlemald. Having suffered long enough at the hands of their cruel and oppressive mother they rescued their younger and significantly untainted sister in hopes she might find a better life in Eorzea.
◢ The Dauntless
- ♥ Kahn'a Ohditra : “The lost” Mikh'a's relationship with Kahn'a is complicated. Gradually going from curious fear to something more, the two of them have stumbled a long way to get to where they are. Probably one of the most important people in his life it's likely a terrible idea to bad mouth Kahn'a in any way, shape or form to him.
- ● Osric Melkire : “The unbreakable.” The very first time Mikh'a ever saw Osric they were being shot at by a sniper. What they thought had been a successful land on Osric had been a lucky ( or unlucky in the case of the sniper ) miss where the bullet took him in an old coin he'd been carrying in his breast pocket. This incident served only to put Osric on a pedestal in Mikh'a's mind – he was unstoppable. He'd taken a bullet without harm, and there has to this point been little evidence to the contrary of the boy's belief. He's recently taken up lessons in hand to hand combat, training daily. ( He's thankfully got over the awestruck fanboy mentality and can carry on good conversation with Osric. )
- ♥ Siha Xinkei : “The catalyst.” Meeting Siha changed his entire life. Were it not for her he'd be nowhere and he knows it, and while he'll joke that she kidnapped him he credits her for everything good that's happened to him since. Held in his heart on the same pedestal as A'ahdra, Siha is both an older sister and on occasion a motherly figure in his life. While he can credit most of his direction and growth to his desire to serve Erik's purpose it's Siha that's held his hand and guided him properly and without her it's likely he would never have met them in the good light he had in the first place. She is not only his mentor in healing but his closest friend and someone he has in the past, and will again in the future put all of his beliefs and fears aside for.
◢ The Friends
- ● A'laric Ashtear : “The counsel.” Rough around the edges, A'laric comes off as the type not to care about anything in front of his nose, but Mikh'a knows better. Often taking the pain and suffering of others on to himself he's cornered the boy several times now and forced him not to bottle his emotions up – for reasons Mikh'a has yet to discern himself yet. All he knows is that if he ever needs an ear, or a shoulder, even if he doesn't know it, A'laric will be there in the wings waiting to break down the walls he's trying to build for himself whether he likes it or not.
- ● Alexei Volkov : “The weapon.” Meeting him shortly fter his initial meeting with Siha, the persistent doctor intimidated and annoyed him all at the same time. Caring for a Siha induced head injury he'd received ( YES IT WAS TOTALLY HER FAULT ), Mikh'a found himself lingering in and out of the medical facilities. ( At this point he was confined to this room and Siha's so, you know, there was that too. ) He spent time getting to know the doctor, and his history – and more important yet helped rescue his apprentice after following a hunch when he saw the man leave. The night Alexei died was traumatizing for the Red Wings, him included. ( You hang out in a house where someone is tortured to death with advanced feral senses then say it wasn't so bad if you weren't in the room. ) This led to the grueling quest to revive him for the sake of his friends and loved ones, and Mikh'a put his beliefs and fears aside to aide in this task. When prompted about rumors of the doctor's death he simply shrugs and points out the man had been ill, and rumors exaggerated the issue.
- ● Cliodhna Eoghan : “The mysterious one.” It was impossible to be afraid of her. Cliodnha, as rough and frightening as she came off, was just like him and he didn't even know it. After settling his fears about the woman he finds her in a curious, and fascinating life. She holds Erik's heart, but more important Mikh'a and Doctor Eoghan hail from the same place – recent events have not instilled much faith in her intentions in Eorzea, unfortunately. The attack on Siha and the later revelation of her involvement with the man in question left him questioning her loyalties.
- ● Dethiram Andoreth : “The Elezen.” From the moment he met Dethiram, Mikh'a had a problem with him. It was deeply seeded in the mistrust instilled in him regarding his history involving Elezen. Proved right by that cocky, know it all attitude and his ego, Mikh'a can't help but find himself less and less inclined to like Dethiram. Were it not for the man's keen interest in the safety and welfare of his sisters ( and on occasion Mikh'a's own well being ) he'd disregard all potential friendship but he's aware he owes a debt of gratitude. Recently, however, the two have settled on a strange middle ground, and a quiet friendship has begun to bud between the two of them. It helps that Dethiram's treasure hunting produces many, many things for Mikh'a to tinker with.
- ● Erik Mynhier : “The fallen.” Erik was once held in the highest regard to Mikh'a. He is presently mistrusting of the man; this does not mean that things will not change in the near or even distant future. Recent events and life changes have left him lost and confused in regards to the man he called brother, and he has a lot of internal conflict and hang ups to take care of before he can move on, some of these built on mistrust due to his own unfortunate history and nothing that Erik did personally.
- ● Lon'qu Jin : “The merchant.” Mikh'a knows very little about Lon'qu Jin, save for the fact that he's a damned good merchant and the night he arrived at the Red Wings he fast became an important fixture in their household. ( Plus there are a lot of things to climb on in his store, which pleases Mikh'a to no end. ) Ragnar's recent death has caused Mikh'a to look at Jin much differently, aware of Jin's orphaned status and desperately wanting to make sure he feels as welcomed, and at home as possible.
- ♥
Ragnar Eisenberg : “The guardian.” Ragnar was the first friend Mikh'a had that was not Siha. A bold, friendly man, he pushed Mikh'a in emotional ways he wasn't ready to explore and tore down a lot of walls that had been built up. ( And in doing so created a monster of cuddly proportion. Way to go Ragnar. ) Someone very dear to his heart, Mikh'a finds that when in Ragnar's company he'll immediately seek out pets and cuddles alongside the emotional solace the Highlander has to offer. He was a lot of firsts for Mikh'a, introducing him to life in ways he was not earlier privy to. His first ear petting, his first drink, his first near death of a friend, his first murder spree. You know, the good times. The man's recent death has left him shattered, though he's publicly holding himself together. It's very likely he lost his first love.
- ♥ Setras Kyvari : “The brother.” Mikh'a's initial meeting with Setras was tragic, following Alexei with Siha to save the doctor's apprentice, but it opened the door to a close enough friendship that the two consider one another brothers. He means the world to Mikh'a, though the recent turmoil between Set and both Kahn'a and Titor make things awkward and strange around the house and Mikh'a has made every effort to disconnect from the situation so that he doesn't feel like he's got to choose.
- ♥? Sieg Egeas : “The hunter.” Sieg is a complicated individual in Mikh'a's life. Someone he loves very dearly in ways he does not understand, he's led Mikh'a on a turmoil filled journey of both emotions and moral testing. Eventually setting on 'very, very close friend', Mikh'a has given up some of his better judgment in favor of risking life and limb to rescue his friend, going so far as to become a wanted body among Ishgard's finest. He worries after Sieg in ways he shouldn't, over protective to the point of near viciousness at times. Although he had been avoiding Sieg, because he'd been turned in to a woman after a request Mikh'a had made of him ( and the guilt was real ), Ragnar's recent death has had him worrying after and taking care of the Elezen as often as he can.
- ● Zachary Evans : “The true.” The first meeting Mikh'a had with Zac ended in an impromptu picnic. A sweet, determined soul, his heart is always in the right place and he's determined to do the right thing. His faults are just as endearing as his good points, and his unflappable faith in the Red Wings' cause is quietly inspirational to Mikh'a. His recent trek in to Amdapor with the man has left him shaken and emotional, Zac's insistence in travling alone in to the void reminding him that not only are his friends and family mortal... but stubborn and reckless as well. This time there's nothing he can do but wait.
◢ The Acquaintances
- ● C'kayah Polaali : “The Godfather.” A crime lord with intentions, and a history Mikh'a cannot even begin to fathom, Mikh'a found himself in the man's presence when he answered a call for help. Presented with information regarding a long dead threat to Ul'dah's poisons, the boy has decided to haunt C'kayah until he has some answers. Unbeknowest to Mikh'a they've encountered one another more than once, C'kayah the masked bandit who stole a unit from Titor and near killed the group of them researching it near Sil'dih.
- ● Blake Bastion : “The tag-along.” Having only met Blake in the company of H'ana, Mikh'a knows little more about him than that he seems to be at her beck and call. He seems kind enough – if only that wall of fear wasn't there.
- ● Endemerrin Rosethorne : “The seasoned.” A recent meet for Mikh'a, but someone he intends to worm his way in to friendship with swiftly, both because he's suspicious of Endemerrin's intentions with Siha, and because of his connections with Ironworks, and his knowledge of Magitek. ( Basically he intends to nerd it up with Merri. )
- ● H'ana Mkheda : “The curious.”A woman he met in passing and on the unfortunate end of Mikh'a's fear, H'ana is a generous and kind creature that only wants to make friends with Mikh'a. The poor thing, if she only knew. His own crippling fear keeps him from pursuing anything further, just yet.
- ● Hunter Russ : “The gladiator.” A curious, would be hero and an adventurer Mikh'a met while on an errand on his way to Vesper Bay they shared a good conversation cut short. He regrets not finding him in order to seek out a repair for Hunter's battered armor, and has been on the lookout for him since.
- ● Jace Farchild : “The writer.” Mikh'a should never drink. With this in mind, it was lucky it was this simple Hyur who found him than someone else. Taking up the role of temporary protector, and unknowingly falling in to a role that bolstered his spirits, Jace took care of the poor boy when he was not at his best and for that Mikh'a is grateful.
- ● Jace Hunter : “The crusader.” Their brief meeting was enough for Jace to give Mikh'a pause and think about what happens outside of the comfortable life in Ul'dah he has grown so used to. Claiming friendship to Erik he called attention to the plight of the refugees and Mikh'a intends to seek him out for questioning soon enough.
- ● Lucas Wylder : “The white knight.” Mikh'a isn't sure what to think about Lucas. A childhood friend by proxy, he knows enough about the young man to know he isn't inherently evil, but is also aware of the mission Mikh sent the Wylder brothers on and he therefore cannot trust his intentions. He is not aware of Lucas's ( mostly ) efficient efforts in thwarting his brother from finding the Korofi twins.
- ● Sizha'to Chalahko : “The unattainable.” Every encounter Mikh'a has had with Sizha'to has been brief and leave him wanting more, initially out of interest to know Kahn'a, though later simply because he's learned that he /likes/ having friends. Unaware of Sizha'to's call for his punishment over the incident regarding Alexei's “sickness”, Mikh'a seeks friendship in the other Miqo'te, longing to know him better.
- ● Titor Jaraba : “The mentor.” Although Titor means the world to Mikh'a, and he loves him very much, life has sent them in different directions. Their paths may not cross again, though there is a fierce loyalty left in the wake of their short time spent together that will stay with Mikh'a for a long time to come.
- ● X'vett Nunh : “The voice.” A bard Mikh'a met in passing in Ul'dah, he intends to find him again with his interesting limericks and fascinating voice.”
- ● X'Yue Tia : “The cookie hater.” Mikh'a has only met X'Yue briefly, and in the company of Sizha'to. He knows little more than X'Yue denied his offer for cookies. Why, X'Yue, why?!
◢ The Rest
- ● Alexander Wylder : “The villain.” Likely Mikh'a's biggest enemy, any time he's found himself at Alex's feet it's been to the end of pain and torment, even growing up. A man sent with a small crew by his mother to return him and his sisters to Garlemald ( and likely a terrible fate ), he's gone as far out of his way to avoid Alex as he can; their most recent meeting had a near disastrous end.
- ● Raimy Rouchet : “The other apprentice.” From the moment they met it was bad news. Mikh'a's relationship has been sour from the beginning, riddled with a bitter and one sided rivalry, threats, and anger. All attempts at making friendship with this person were brushed aside for first mockery, then later for misguided and selfish reasons. Mikh'a's efforts to be friendly with this person due to their mutual position as Titor's apprentice were given a cold shoulder, and now that the other has suddenly had a turn around and is trying to make ammends it may be too late. The relationship has been soured in a way that may not be salvageable, Mikh'a feeling his efforts have been burned one too many times.
