"As long as i understand it, this goal is more than enough"
Hello everyone! I'm Berryche, the writer behind Mevra Bairon, a Xaela from Nagixa, currently researching specific wildlife in Eorzea. I made this Tumblr to share my gpose and ideas for the little gremlin. Likewise, I really love to see what others would come up in ideas for their FFXIV Characters. Please feel free to follow me on this journey or even engage in DMs with me about your own Character~

Living outsite of Sharlyan is strange. I though i would get used to it during the voyage over the sea to Limsa Lominisa help mit coming to terms with my new reality. Limsa Lominsa is so diffrent, so chaotic maybe? Ships leavening and returning every day, the cargo needed to be cleared and loaded, people screaming orders to each other. Streets busteling with people that want to look at the newest goods at the market. I joined the adventures guild in Limsa its located in the Last Strand and visted the Maraudeurs guild as well. I need to stay in shape after all, as a adventurer even if my main goal is to cook in the Bismark. I walked past Limsas best Restuarant a few times, but was to nervous to ask if they still look for Culinares in training. I talked with Alka Zolka, a memeber of the Marauders Guild a bit, he's talking a lot about a former unit during the time of Nym and how he wishes to revive it. He also encurage me to finally ask to Lyngsath Doesfalksyn for work at the Bismark. He was a bit reluctend when he learned I'm from Sharlyan, but I prommised to ignore everything our home thinks is important about food and start at zero.
My way to become a culinarien is going slow, probably do to my own expertations and rules, I fear I will neaver get the smell of burned marple syrup out of my nose. Its way to easy to burn, you can't turn your back to it for even a blink of an eye. I also by accidently joined hte fisherman's guild. I just wanted to ask about local fish and well they sucefully convinced me that the best way to learn is joining the guild. I know you might worry for my safty as I can't swim, but don't worry dear sister, I stayed on land with out a problem, the fish here aren't to big to worry about such things as falling in the water. Late this week the Bismark got a big shipment of vegetables from the botanist guild in Gridania, I will viste as soon as I have a free day or Lyngsath is tiered of me burning marple syrup all day again.
Don't worry for me to much sister, I will writte as soon as possible again. great our parents from me and make sure that our sister Noelle dosent forget to eat, while studying for her upomming exams. I love and miss all of you so much.

What is a piece of worldbuilding/ world based HC you made for your wol(oc)'s story?
Since the Bairon Tribe has literally just two lines for them, i wrote their complete background on my own for mevra, considering their survial background and that they are from nagxia + attacked by garlear.
I gave them a tribe color (as every Xaela Tribe as them), a more desert look clothing style and so on haha i never have seen another bairon IG as well, so for now i can't even talk with people about it and their headcanons
The dusk mother has forsaken us, leaving us back alone with a destiny that was not meant for such a gentle soul as you were, brother. As a child, nobody told you how it would hunt you every waking moment. One wrong step and there's no going back.
To this day, it is not known what hurt the young Xaela more. To watch her brother turn into a monster or lose her fate in the dusk mother herself.
Hi there! Are you a FFXIV roleplayer? Are you looking for more opportunities to meet people/engage in one-on-one scenes and roleplay beyond event spaces? I may just have a solution for you!
To preface: my name is Sea, and I run far too many community projects (no, seriously, someone stop me); most notably my Community Compendium and question drives. Playing in the creative side of the XIV community, but most notably the roleplay community, brings me the most joy, and it's something I want to continue to foster both with this project and the others attached to it.
The meet-cute idea was originally based around this vent post I made regarding the difficulty of people wanting to get into the in-game ffxiv scene. While a lot of my venting was to do with mods/player expectations, the fact it resonated with people made me wonder if there was anything I could do in order to help people find and connect with other roleplayers. Based on an indulgence qotd, I came up with the idea of a meet-cute!
While a meet-cute normally has a romantic subtext that is NOT the focus of this drive, and it is not mandatory or expected for players/characters to be looking for romance in their roleplay (though you absolutely can if you want)! It’s about the opportunity to create fun, first-meet scenarios for characters and their players.
If this is something you may be interested in, I highly recommend you check out this google doc that goes over player expectations and links to the google form. ✨ As this is the first iteration of the meet-cute, rules and information is subject to change at a whim, so I encourage people to also check in with my tag ｡･ﾟﾟ･ — sea's community meet cute just in case.
Applications Close: Saturday April 19 Partner's released: Anywhere from April 26 to May 3
Whether my feet hurt or the nights are too cold, it doesn't matter. Being a Bairon always meant surviving in places that nobody else had ever dared to think of. We were made to go places no one else has ever gone.
I always found it sad how the Bairon Tribe was just a small one-liner in the Eorzea encyclopedia, despite the feet the writer gave them. Choosing them for Mevra as their Origin had several reasons for me, but one was that I could find a reason beyond MSQ why she would be able to travel to Eorzea, without settling into one of the cities. She doesn't need to. Her tribe is survivalists and travels after all.
Tell me about your WoL/OC's family.
Tell me about their parents, their kids, their siblings.
I want to hear about wol/oc families so bad. Please tell me about them!!
Its a family of 4 -as much as you can say that for a tribe- with Mevra being the youngest child.
While her parents still alive, Mevra and her older Brother Grevel got split up from the Tribe when the Garlear attacked Nagxia, so there is little known about her parents beside that they were hunters of the tribe and passed that knowledge and role down to their children's as well.
Traveling together, and thanks to the tribes given knowledge from a young age for survival, the two started a journey, drifting further away from the east.
Grevel is definitely the one holding his sister high energy in check, but he is also more soft than her. Taking in ones he thinks need help, even resulted in him giving away his tribe axe to a fellow Xaela, who had become a outcast to her own tribe, so she could survive on her own once the three departured.
Mevra holds her brother close to her heart, seeing him as her own family left at this point.
Hello, my name is Mevra Bairon and if you find this book, you stumbled upon journal number- Her hand stopped as she looked at the letters of the script she had hardly learned over the years. “What number was it again?” Her voice echoed from the walls, only to be greeted by the screech of the movement of her test subject beforehand. “Was it 23 or 24?” The young woman tilted her head slightly in order to look up at one of her companies. “Kwek” “You are right, I can edit it later on.” Others might have been frightened by the view in front of her, and Mevra was aware that. It was in the nature of most human beings to be so, but for her this one was fascinating. They were an offspring of the Purbol one could find in the Steppe, if the young Xaela had to guess. She did not know much about the Saint Mocianne's Arboretum or why it had been abandoned, but rumors had run around that if she was searching for something special in this field, she might find it there. “Their Aether is completely normal, Grevel.” “Kwee” “I know, I know. I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. However, if this one is one of their kind, killing it could be fatal for our research.” The blue-feathered Chocobo tilted his head towards the Xaela, almost as if he would question since when she had become so responsible. “Hey! Don't look at me like that!” With a single movement, Mevra closed the Book in her hand as she jumped down from Grevel and placed the book on the saddle. “I will keep it alive, if possible.”
admist the darkness I'll hold to the thought that could be
They have met in the depths of the palace of the dead. The goals are so different, but they stick together for the moment. One who wants to reclaim their home and the other who is looking for answers might never be found. (I just wanted to have a smiliar feel like a movie poster but i think i failed for it haha)
