    There was a character bio thread ages ago just prior to the game going live, but it's long since dead and buried sadly.

    Thus, here's my character's biography (pending some changes):



    Name: Enkidoh Ninghol-d’Roux (or simply ‘Roux’ for short)
    Age: 22 (at end of Sixth Astral Era)
    Birthplace: Ala Mhigo
    Birthdate (Nameday): 30th Sun of the Second Astral Moon (29th of March), 1550 6AE (Sixth Astral Era)
    Race: miqo’te
    Gender: female
    Racial clan: Seeker of the Sun (although estranged from Seeker society)
    Hair colour: vivid dark/blood red
    Style: short/shoulder length (held back with hairband)
    Eyes: dark blue
    Build: thin/medium
    Height: about 5’ 6”
    Guardian Deity: Azeyma the Warden
    Family:
    Htirea Ninghol (birth mother – deceased)
    Phytar Ninghol (birth father – deceased)
    Gill'ette d'Roux (foster mother)
    Jerahad d’Roux (foster father)
    Jingai Xian Roux (partner/lover)
    Nationality: Gridania (raised in both Ala Mhigo and Ul’dah)
    Main discipline: Disciple of War ~ Gladiator (Paladin), but also proficient in Marauder, Archer, Lancer, Pugilist and Disciple of Magic ~ Conjurer (White Mage) and Arcanist (Summoner/Scholar)

    Enkidoh d'Roux (commonly she writes her surname with the 'd' dropped from 'd'Roux'), was born Enkidoh Ninghol sometime about seven years before the fall of the Kingdom of Ala Mhigo, the city of her birth. Her mother was a Botanist who sold flowers at a stand in the city, while her father was a member of the city militia, a swordsman who often had the unsatisfactory title of 'Gladiator' thrust on him despite him being a soldier who happened to favour the sword. Both her parents were outcast members of the Seekers of the Sun clan of miqo'te, a clan rare amongst the Eorzean citystates, and even rarer in Ala Mhigo.

    Her father, Phytar, was a non-breeding male, or 'tia', who challenged the tribe's current 'nuhn' for that privilege, and lost - although badly injured, he survived, and hence faced with no alternative, he left the tribe to found a new one. Inviting other females to join him, only one accepted - Enki's mother, Htirea, a kindly soul who had never been comfortable with 'traditional' miqo'te occupations such as hunting, preferring more quiet pursuits such as botany, and thus she felt she never really fit in with her own kind - and soon, the two found themselves falling in love.)

    As a result, the two abandoned the desert and the Seekers' primitive tribal society for a more urban way of life, which they found in the castle city of Ala Mhigo, and accordingly shed their ties to their former lives by adopting Ala Mhigan names. Nevertheless, they still raised their daughter reverently in their clan's traditional worship of Azeyma the Warden, the Goddess of the Sun, not entirely comfortable to convert to the traditional Ala Mhigan worship of Rhalgr the Destroyer, God of destruction, nor the later 'official' state religion of Nymeia the Spinner, goddess of Fate and destiny, as dictated by the last king of Ala Mhigo, the 'King of Ruin', Theodorac. Enki was born during this turbulent period in Ala Mhigo's history, her parents having married in a traditional Ala Mhigan ceremony as a way of confirming their acceptance of their new home and it's new customs, Enki growing up idolizing her father and already stated she wanted to grow up to be a knight just like him.

    When Ala Mhigo fell to the Garlean Empire following a brief but brutal civil war that led to the toppling of the tyrannical king's regime, Enki's parents were lost to the fighting, and Enki fled, orphaned, afraid and alone. Drifting aimlessly she found herself amongst a ragtag group of refugees fleeing the violence before the Empire's net closed completely, preventing any further escape. After stopping at an apparently abandoned fruit cart, she took an apple from it only to be chastised angrily by the cart's owner, an Ul'dahn wildwood elezen merchant named Gill'ette d'Roux.

    When the grief became too much, Enki broke down crying, and the elezen woman's heart softened, and comforted her. Realizing Enki was now orphaned and homeless, and lacking children of her own, Gill'ette decided to take the young Miqo'te under her care, and took her to live with her back in Ul'dah, raising Enki as her own daughter (hence Enki now took Gill'ette's family name of 'd'Roux', although she often spelt it without the d.) Growing up as a member of a wealthy merchant family, Enki was now safe, but saw from afar the contempt and resentment other Ala Mhigan refugees in the city experienced by the Ul'dahns, and Enki realized that she could never reveal her origins to anyone, lest she loose the family she had only just gained. It was about that time that the Age of Adventuring began, and Enki saw the growing number of adventurers arriving and leaving the city. In particular, she took notice of the Gladiator's Guild the Colosseum, who practiced the ways of the sword, just like her father taught her. In fact, seeing the gladiators training made Enki remember her father, and mother, and soon, she begun to pine for the city of her birth. Ala Mhigo.

    She knew though that getting to Ala Mhigo would not be easy, as the city was still under Garlean occupation, with access severely restricted in and out, but she also realized that an adventurer might have the best chance of gaining access. Hence, when Enki came of age on her eighteenth nameday, the now adult miqo'te revealed to her shocked adopted parents that she was going to become an adventurer, and a Gladiator at that! But however much they tried dissuading her, her mind was made up. And so, on her eighteenth winter, she left Ul'dah behind, to make the long and grueling trek to the north east, to Ala Mhigo. After many weeks on the road, after finding herself in the thick, impenetrable forest of the Black Shroud, she realized she was lost. She had to then make a life-changing decision. Should she continue and hope for the best? Or turn and head back the same way she came?

    Of these two paths, only the Warden (and perhaps the Matron too) knew what path she was to take, a fact directed to Enki in the form of a shooting star, and another, and another. Streaking through the thick forest canopy like fiery birds. Her bright blue eyes wide with wonder at the beautiful spectacle, she hefted her pack, and followed the streaking stars, not to Ala Mhigo like she intended, but to Gridania, her destiny - a destiny that was not just hers, but that of all of Eorzea...

    More to come!

    I wrote this back in the beta-forums, but figured I'd write it here, too. ^^



    Birth name: H’aprimac Tia
    Nickname: Happy
    Age: 32

    Story: He was born to the gigantoad tribe and was the son of a sunseeker nunh and a half-moonkeeper, half-sunseeker mother. When H’aprimac was only 11 years old, his father died while defending the tribe’s village against an attack. H’aprimac was the only male surviving the assault and was declared as the nunh of the tribe. Because of his early age and the lack of male miqo’te, he was made to mate as early as age 13, as soon as his body was considered mature. But he wasn’t mature enough in spirit and eventually got traumatized with the constant forced mating. He tried to confront his mother and ask for help, but she believed he was doing the right thing, as was tradition. H’aprimac bore dozen daughters and one son before he fled the village.

    H’aprimac felt he wasn’t safe with the sunseekers especially after abandoning his duty as the breeding male, and headed to the home of his moonkeeper relatives; his aunt and uncle. The Moonhill family gladly adopted him and raised him as their own. He had a short lived romance with a moonkeeper lass, but felt he still wasn’t ready to pursue a relationship. At age 21 he left the Moonhill family to follow his own path and found himself eventually at the gates of Limsa Lominsa. He forsook his adopted surname of Moonhill and changed it to Sunhill to reflect his sunseeker-heritage. In Limsa Lominsa he did several odd jobs including heavy lifting, delivering mail and fishing and gained the nickname Happy, because his name’s “H’apri” sounded similar to it. After several years of no steady work, he found himself applying for the Maelstorm, but wasn’t taken in due to his lack of any combat skills outside traditional miqo’te hunting skills. But H’aprimac was nothing if not persistent and he kept bothering the officers till finally one caved in and assigned him for basic training and gave him the task of guarding the borders of La Noscea.

    He spent ten years serving under Maelstorm and guarding the borders. During one of his patrols, he found an unconscious and wounded female roegadyn and brought her to his hut. He took care of her wounds and let her live with him for as long as she desired. Eventually he fell in love with the seawolf, but he kept his feelings to himself in fear of rejection.

    Doing this for fun Never thought about it before really (not really a RP-er).

    Richter Valens // Tanith Aurion
    Male Miqo'te Seeker of the Sun // Female Hyur Midlander
    Both in their 20s (want an exact age? Sorry idk lol).
    Yada yada (gonna be making the rest up as I go for fun. Tanith is an alt, but I'm including her since I use her, plus it gives more to work with lol).

    Born to a Seeker of the Sun tribe, the name given to him as an infant was soon lost as the Garleans invaded their land and drove away much of the tribe several months after his birth. The Garleans slaughtering any resistance and claiming the land for themselves; leaving the infant exposed to the elements for dead rather than killing him then and there. A traveling group of Hyur midlanders and highlanders seeking to travel to Eorzea and evade Garlean rule found the infant Miqo'te and a highlander woman took him as her own, giving him a highlander name (it's Germanic at least, "judge" and "valor" respectively, so I'm goin with that).

    Among the group of traveling Hyur was another child, a midlander girl with odd eyes named Tanith Aurion (Tanith was a Phoenician goddess of love and the moon/stars, Aurion means "morning" in ancient Greek). Eventually the Hyuran group arrived in Ala Mhigo, where they were able to settle down. Richter and Tanith became good friends as they grew up throughout their few short years in Ala Mhigo, until the Garlean Empire attacked. The two were still young children at the time Ala Mhigo fell, and their parents nowhere to be found. (Ala Mhigo fell 15 years before the events in the game iirc). The two were taken to Gridania by some escaping Hyurs, where they were abandoned shortly thereafter. The Gridanians, however, didn't want to take in more refugees as they were having trouble accommodating the influx of migrating Ala Mhigans. The two stuck together in a hamlet somewhere in the Black Shroud near Bentbranch and were able to survive through hard work and learning to make an honest gil via selling wood crafts and potions and honing their skills with weapons of choice and conjury, eventually becoming adventurers and joining the Scions to help protect the rest of Eorzea from falling to the Garleans and beastmen.

    Yep, lets go with that.

    And for reference: Richter has 50 BRD/WHM/Carpenter and Tanith has 50 DRG/WHM/Alchemist.
