OOC Notes
Hello! I am a relatively new FFXIV RPer, having joined the fun at the start of 2019. That being said, my roleplay background includes *many* sessions of Pathfinder Society, Pathfinder, and a bit of D&D 5E. Most of the roleplay has been organic, where my character's background and personality are developed around a situation, usually with hilarious results (ask me about my snowflake Paladin).
I'm still a bit green but always happy to meet and interact with new people both IC and OOC! As a note, information is presented to help drive development and should never be used as meta-knowledge. That's no fun for anyone!

Demeaner
V'alkurm is a Carpenter and Botanist, primarily focused on furniture. He has built quite the wealth in such dealings, building a small network of craftsmen and gatherers to fulfill client requests ranging from the mundane to the exotic.
While proper when social etiquette is needed, he finds joy in being playful, sometimes mischievous, to those that don't grab him by the tail. He's a gentle soul, though he finds himself being guided by the hand of Misfortune which often leads to some form of minor injury or accident. He has interpreted it as a means to keep him moving forward and never becoming complacent.
Beginnings
V'alkurm Tia was born in to the V Tribe on the 16th Sun of the 4th Astral Moon. His mother, a woman marred by rumors of having possessed skill akin to clairvoyance though no evidence bore weight, additionally born a brother, V'im Tia.
Through his childhood, V'alkurm was not one to possess extraordinary athletics or combat prowless when compared to his peers, much less his brother. Sensing weakness, V'alkurm was regularly subjected to ridicule and likely worse if not for his brother protecting him.
As he grew, so too did his ambition to prove himself to become Nunh over the tribe. The challenge before him was that to become one would require defeating the established Nunh in combat. As they are the most able male, ensuring future offsprings are of similar caliber, such title would not be easily won. Instead, once of age, V'alkurm decided that he would become Nunh through conquest of territory so as to expand the V tribe's control. Once established, Miqo'te females would flock perhaps enamored by the skill displayed, at least on paper.
V'alkurm proposed his grand plan to his brother. A tribe consisted of both a breeder and a leader, and who better to ensure strong offsprings than his brother while V'alkurm led the tribe. After much back and forth, V'alkurm proved to be the more persuasive, and so set forth the plan in motion. Though their mother was hesitant, a certain look in her eye gave them solace as if it were fate.
Come the day of departure in to the Eorzea wild, his mother pulled him aside to offer him word.
V'alkurm, you possess a treasure within you; the origin of your name steep with history. Come a day you will seek to uncover what is buried.
"In Darkness, there is Light." Always remember this. Its meaning you will come to understand.
Over the next year, V'alkurm and V'im took hunt jobs as a means for gil and experience. One particular hunt caught the eye of V'alkurm while browsing the Hunt board: a bounty to slay an S Rank target. S Ranks carried the gravest danger; countless souls lost but also countless adventurers compensated handsomely. Despite pleas from his brother, V'alkurm proved to be more persuasive to undertake such a hunt, but not alone. While the hunt would prove near impossible for the two of them, hiring help would make for an easier, and safer, hunt.
Packs prepped, Chocobos saddled, the group set off to the edges of The Shroud in pursuit of the beast. Reports had indicated the beast was last seen in the vicinity of the South Shroud, south of the Quarrymill. Having burnt most of the sun, the group set up camp for the night. Tales were regaled, spirits were lifted, but lurking on the edge of fire's light laid unseen threats. Swiftly, the threat encroached upon the camp, preying upon the men. One after another, the men fell slain, until only V'alkurm, V'im, and one other remained. But their number proved naught a match against the beasts. V'alkurm and V'im fought until succumbing to their power. Gravely wounded, V'alkurm's last moments would see his brother ganged up and brought down before darkness set upon him.
