History
C'reva was born in a small sept of the Coeurl tribe. Nomadic, her people wander the deserts of Thanalan without ever staying in one place long enough to put down roots. This wanderlust must be inherent in her bloodline; even years removed from her tribe, Reva still suffers the itch to get out there and explore if she stays in place for too long.If only she could wander back home.Her exile was beyond unexpected. An upbeat and cheerful person, Reva never caused problems. Obedient and eager to please, she did her best to complete whatever task was set before her—though some of those tasks were seemingly beyond her no matter how hard she tried. Never one for physical altercations, lessons in fighting and hunting never took despite the long hours she practiced under the watchful eyes of her sisters. Relegated to domestic chores, she found peace and pleasure in these duties that was absent in her other training. And, while her passion might've been different than her sisters' interests, their father encouraged her to pursue it regardless.A love of flowers blossomed into an interest in herbalism. At her father's suggestion she studied under some of the older members of her tribe in how to create remedies and medicines for their people. Her mother was one of her mentors in this pursuit and kept Reva close at hand once her daughter showed an aptitude for healing. So close that, as Reva grew, she spent more and more time with her mother and less with her sisters and brothers. Save for the seasonal meetings of local septs of the Coeurl tribe, few among her family saw much of Reva.It was, they whispered, as if her interest in healing had grown around her heart and mind until she could focus on nothing else. While still playful and friendly, the long hours spent socalizing with her siblings dwindled to scant moments. Her easy laugh came less often and less readily. A strange pall hung over Reva that those closest to her couldn't help but notice.Something was wrong and only when it was too late did any of them realize it.An unfortunate incident with another sept of their tribe led to Reva's exile. An incident that saw her briefly paired with the nuhn of that sept—the sept her mother once hailed from—until he rejected her. C'wehlu, the nunh and Reva's childhood sweetheart, sent her packing from not only his tent, but the Coeurl tribe entirely.Curiosity about the world outside her upbringing did nothing to prepare Reva for being thrust into it unexpectedly.After years of struggle, Reva finally found her footing. It wasn't easy, and it wasn't without suffering and mistreatment at the hands of those who'd sworn to help her adjust, but she isn't that frightened girl her tribe dropped at the gates of Ul'dah any longer. And though she approaches new experiences with boundless enthusiasm and an open mind, her sunny smile hides behind a cloud of sorrow at times.A cloud that drifts over her from the desert.When the quietude of being alone overtakes her, Reva can't help but turn her gaze back towards her tribe and wonder if her family misses her as much as she misses them. Do they think of her? Do they hope she's well? Do they regret not speaking up on her behalf when she was cast out?Questions an exile will never have the answers to.
Hooks
While I'm down to do any of my suggested hooks, I'm also very open to hearing ideas if nothing here suits your character or RP interests! Message me and we can work something out! ♥
| Plant Fancier |
|---|
| Do you like plants? Seedkin? Cultivating specimens and trying to transplant them to different climates and biomes? Reva is supremely intrigued by all things related to and adjacent to plants. Characters who are botanists, florists, gardeners, or anything related to flora would find her eager to chat and trade thoughts on the matter. Or perhaps they can squabble over who gets to collect some rare specimen out in the wild! |
| I Wanna Munch! (Squad!) |
|---|
| Reva loves cooking, and if she experiences a new, delightful dish (or a well done twist on an old favorite) she'd love to learn the recipe! While she might not be an aspiring expert culinarian, she appreciates finely crafted food and would delight in chatting and exchanging recipes with others who feel the same. |
| Quiet About Conjury |
|---|
| While Reva is trained in conjury, she isn't exactly bursting at the seams to discuss it. However, if someone is injured or the situation calls for it, she's not going to keep her skills to herself if they'd help. Combining her magic with her alchemical and apothecary skills, Reva is a talented healer and always happy to patch up anyone who needs it. |
| The Moogle's Pom |
|---|
| After working in other bars and venues, Reva formed a vision for her own. Often found behind the bar or upstairs managing business with other Disciples of the Hand and Land, Reva plays an active role in the day-to-day work needed to keep the doors open. Work that allows her to employ other former tribal miqo'te to try and keep them from the same dire straits she once was in. If you're a miqo'te in need of employment, she's happy to offer it! If you aren't a miqo'te? She probably still has work and stil will be happy to hire you. But she will talk your ear off about this season's cocktail menu. |
| Apothecary and Alchemist |
|---|
| Do you like to mix up potions? So does Reva! As a registered member of the Alchemist's Guild, she's always eager to talk trade and would love to meet other alchemists of all skill levels. While she seems most interested in healing tonics, she's not unfamiliar with other concotions—especially poisons. Reva often needs reagents, and daring types willing to collect more difficult ones will find her with coin to spare for a job well done. |
Contacts
☼ K'melo Tia ☼
Reva's mate, light of her light, beloved rowdy boy, and dear friend. A fortuitous meeting shortly after his return to Eorzea from the Far East saw Reva offering him employment at The Pom. After she found out Melo was also cut off from his tribe, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him. At first she tried to keep things professional and limited to friendly banter, but she couldn't bear to cool the swiftly growing spark between them.Deeply in love with Melo, it's hard to conceive of a time in their lives they weren't together. Reva values his company and their commitment to each other and looks forward to the years together that await them. Something that, as his personal healer, she intends to see last a very long time.
☼ K'vafi ☼
A very young (He's only 4! A baby!) miqo'te boy who was orphaned during the Final Days. Reva met K'vafi while visiting the Ul'dahn orphanage she volunteers at. While his plight is one she's far too familiar with now, there was something different with K'vafi. Always one to follow her heart, she paid extra attention to the little boy in an effort to help soften the blow fate had dealt him. Shy, skittish due to what he'd endured, K'vafi slowly warmed up to her and Melo both. Gently coaxing him out of his shell was hard work, but Reva's never been known to be lazy.And now, after patience and time, Reva and Melo are working towards officially adopting the child they love as their own son.
☼ C'vahl Tia ☼
One of Reva's older brothers, Vahl is the only one from her former tribe she still has contact with. A wanderer by nature, Vahl had contacts in Ul'dah he directed her towards when Reva was initially exiled. That those contacts turned out to be terrible folks who set her up for a very difficult time was something, he swears, he didn't see as a possibility.Very close as children, the siblings began to drift apart once Vahl hit his teen years. More distant, moodier, and all around more difficult, that steadfast and loving older brother she'd adored all but disappeared overnight. And, despite what happened between Reva and her former Nunh, Vahl still considers C'wehlu his dearest friend. All attempts to explain her feelings to her brother have been fruitless. Things between them are more tense than ever thanks to that.
☼ Kahlua Chai ☼
Reva and Kahlua crossed paths at a charming little cafe the reporter at The Daily Moogle was visiting to review. Their shared passion for sweets meant the two had quite a bit to discuss as they both worked their way through the menu! Easily forming a fast friendship, the two chatted away for hours and hours until the cafe was ready to close for the day. And while they don't see each other often in person due to conflicting schedules, they keep up via letters and recipe exchanges!
☼ Gyochi ☼
A Namazu transplant from Yangxia, what he lacks in his knowledge of Eorzea he makes up for in his enthusiasm for his job. One of the staff at The Moogle's Pom, he's so happy to provide refreshments he may trip over himself while he fetches them.A dear friend of Reva's, she's quick to share that Gyochi once saved her life. But how? That's something the miqo'te dances around. Whatever the reason their friendship formed, Gyochi is how her namazu obsession began.
OOC INFO
she/her ☼ Mateus ☼ EST ☼ 21+
Hi! I'm Bogwing or just Bog. I'm a 21+ gremlin with many years of experience in XIV and other settings. I love collaboration and crafting engaging, exciting stories with my fellow RPers. The creative aspect of RP is really my jam and I'm always looking for new friends to jam with! ♥
☼
I tend to mirror the post length of whomever I'm writing with, but I lean towards longer ones. (I adjust for crowded social settings!)
OOC =/= IC and a healthy divide is expected of RP pals and offered in return.
Don't spring themes I'm not cool with on me. If your character can't interact without you doing so, we shouldn't RP together.
In that vein, if something Reva does is a limit for you, let me know immediately and we can pivot. As long as I'm aware of your limits I will respect them.
Communication is key! Let's keep channels open so we both have a good time!
LGBTQIA+ positive, bigot negative.
Don't be a creepy weirdo and we can be friends. ♥
