Name and backstory origins huh? My favorite things about making characters!

Talis's name is actually a collection of different things, a little different than my usual naming methods. I read the Keepers of the Moon name conventions and found that the females keep both their own name and the name of their matriarchs and whatnot. Since the Miqo'te came from overseas if I remember correctly, I wanted her name to be both mystical and ocean-related. "Talis" is came about just by chopping the "man" from talisman, and "Nenmyr" is a combination of "nen," which if anyone has played Dungeon Fighter Online it's basically a sort of spiritual energy, while "myr" is my stylized take on words that mean "sea" or "ocean" in many languages.

The backstory still needs some work, but the main theme is that Talis became slightly unhinged in her fervor for seeing Hydaelyn at peace. After the Calamity, her thoughts went thus: Why try to protect a world through peace and kindness when its enemies won't do the same?

Complete destruction was her revelation, so she turned to developing her natural capacity for aetheric manipulation and started on an isolated path toward leaving Eorzea's enemies, and anyone sympathizing with them, floundering in a roaring inferno or trapped in frozen tombs.
