RP Hooks: Naharé Mergrey (Revised)

(It’s been quite a while and Naharé has gone through some changes. Seeing as I’m getting back into the swing of RP, I figured it would be a good idea to revise her RP Hooks. Poor girl has gotten a little dusty from sitting on the shelf after her last campaign.) *Naharé Mergrey (née X’naharé Rahz) was born and raised in Limsa Lominsa. She’s proud of being a city lass. *Perhaps you knew her from childhood? Or, mayhaps, you’ve worked with her before? *Speaking of work, she specializes in Magitek, Engineering, EOD, and guns. She has also crafted multiple versions of Mammets, even deploying them out into the field of battle. *She’s currently partnered with Maelstrom Command as a Freelancer working alongside Research and Development.

*She was deployed to Doma for a while with Maelstrom Command. You could have spotted her there. *Another note about work, Naharé operates as a mercenary and bounty hunter on the side. If the contract interests her, and the pay is good, she’ll likely accept it. Her morals tend to be -very- gray in the type of contracts. And, yes, she does have a body count. *Moving onto some more shady things, she has a criminal record out of Limsa. It consists of: Public Intoxication, Theft, Racketeering, Assault, and Aggravated Assault. She is currently not wanted. *If you want it, and can’t get it, she can probably smuggle it for you.

*Got a grudge against Garleans and Magitek? Her left arm was replaced with a Magitek prosthetic and she openly carries a Pre-Imperial Garlean Revolver. *In addition to her Garlean ties, her ex-husband is a defected Garlean engineer and airship pilot by the name of Askier kir Mergrey (aka Jin’a kir Epinoch). *If she is at home in Limsa you can typically find her frequenting the bars or fighting tournaments. Sometimes she’ll sit down by the dock and go fishing. *If you are from the Lynx tribe you can use that you knew, or heard of, Naharé’s parents, X’rahz Tia and X’adeya Mhasa. They were exiled after they were caught having relations and that it was revealed they had chosen each other as mates. *After the exile, they packed up and moved to Limsa where Rahz works as a Blacksmith and Adeya as a weaver/jewelcrafter. *Naharé has a twin sister, X’tohba Rahz, and a half-brother, X’khajirr Tia. Both of them live in Gridania at the moment. (That’ll do it! If you would like to RP you can contact me here or via Discord at NerdyLuu#4092. My time zone is EST.)

Naharé’s Familiar: The Tiger

The Tiger, though very, very powerful, is a dangerous, mysterious, and unpredictable familiar. They are often the companion of one who has strong feelings of vengeance or hate to another person. However, you are most likely very independent and sure of who you are, and strive to be yourself and not conform to others. You are pushed through even the toughest of situations through willpower and wise decisions, if you are able to keep your feelings of anger in check. A Tiger familiar is a very strong, vicious partner in battle, helps their master through mental stress, and gives them the will to continue on. This Familiar Represents:   - Shadows - Willpower - Anger - Unpredictability - Mystery - Wisdom

** Take the test <<here>> ** I saw @gegenji​ do this quiz and I figured I would try it out for Naharé. For those of you that know her, hoo boy did this hit close to home.

FFXIV Known Abuser: Ryanti Veanysus

This post is not only to warn the FFXIV community of a predatory player named Ryanti Veanysus, this is also an important PSA highlighting his various tactics of emotional abuse. We’ll go over how he convinces women to lower their guard, attempts to coerce them into ERP, socially isolates them from other RPers, and discards them once he’s successfully acquired what he wanted.

If you are from the Lynx tribe. Naharé’s parents, X’Rahz Tia and X’Adeya Mhasa, were exiled after her mother was caught having a relationship outside of the Nunh. They relocated to Limsa Lominsa. You could have been privy to this scandal.

She has a half-brother and a twin sister, X’Khajirr Tia and X’Tohba Rahz. Both of them live in Gridania. X’Khajirr is a doctor and a carpenter, and X’Tohba is a lancer and an archer. I play both of these characters. 

If you live or work in Limsa Lominsa. She’s a proud born and raised city lass. Maybe you knew her from childhood days, have worked with her, or have just seen her around in general.

Speaking of work, she’s under the employment of the Black Pearl Trading Company, a shipping and trading company that operates by land, sea, and air.

Naharé is a self-employed mercenary, bounty hunter, and engineer. Not all of her work is straight-and-narrow what with having an amoral attitude and an interest in contracts from the highest bidder. 

Got a grudge against Garleans or Magitek? Naharé’s left arm was replaced with a Magitek prosthetic and she often times carries a Pre-Imperial Garlean Revolver.

In addition to her Garlean “ties”, her estranged husband is a defected Garlean engineer and airship pilot by the name of Askier kir Mergrey (aka Jin’a kir Epinoch).

Alternatively you can use the above if your character is interested in or has knowledge of Magitek.

She crafts guns, ammunition, upgrades Mammets, and works on airships.

For you law enforcement types: She holds a criminal record out of Limsa. Currently she’s not wanted for any crimes, but her record consists of: Public Intoxication, Theft, Assault, and Aggravated Assault.

What I’m Looking For ––– –

Friends! I’d love to have more RP buddies. Short RP is fine, but I prefer long term RP connections. I like to engross my characters into stories that develop over time and see how it effects them.
