Meowdy Pawrdner, scroll on down to learn more about this energetic engineer!

Engineer Extraordinaire

Whether it is magitek, mechanical engineering or aethero-tech, Khira is quite the whiz kid when it comes to these fields of science. Very knowledgeable and always eager to learn more, she has worked closely with the Skysteel Manufactory on several projects as well as studied a whole lot of Garlean magitek-nology. If you have a conundrum, she's sure to have some sort of engineer's solution, although it might not always be an optimal one.

Limsa la Mhigan

She grew up in the lower class parts of Limsa Lominsa, but she was born in Ala Mhigo. Her adoptive parents, refugees from the Garlean occupation, died during the Seventh Umbral Calamity. She was taken in by the The Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss and was an apprentice rogue, but never fully bloomed with the rascally organization, instead focusing on studying Magitek. More recently Khira has unearthed more of her own roots and find herself drawn to work in Ala Mhigo, especially those missions pertaining to the Seeker tribes across Gyr Abania.

Multifaceted Meow

Khira has taken up a few "hobbies" over the years, learning to channel her aether and trying her hands at several magic disciplines. While not a focus of her efforts, she's dipped her toes with thaumaturges and conjurers, but what stuck most was the fun and spectacle of the Blue Mages Masked Carneval, where she sometimes performs as the MAGNIFICENT CERULEOâ„¢.

Hook it up

Khira has done quite a lot of different things across Eorzea and dipped her fingers in a lot of organizations over the years. Feel free to use any of these hooks listed below as points of introduction.

  • She was an apprentice with the Rogues in Limsa a few years ago. While she was quite apt at sneaking she was pretty prone to cracking up under pressure and couldn't spin a lie if her life depended on it. Thus she might sometimes refer to this time in her life as when she was in the "rowing team". Go Greens!

  • She has quite a few inventions to her name, although not many of them have seen widespread adaption and recognition. You might know of her turbine fuel injection system which was tested on a Skysteel Manufactory airship prototype or her aethero-conductivity experiments. Or perhaps you were unlucky and had a nighttime run-in with the escaped Tentakles, a box on wheels with a flailing knife-wielding appendage.

  • She has served in the Alliance as a Specialist First Class Combat Engineer of the 23rd Maelstrom Brigade. Yeah, quite a mouthful. She worked primarily with explosive ordnance disposal and warmachina salvage operations across Gyr Abania after the liberation of Ala Mhigo. She later joined the Alliance contingency in Garlemald doing much more of the same, though she seems far less inclined to speak of her time there.

  • She is, as her tribal prefix implies, a Seeker of a Lynx tribe. Her ears have pointed tufts at the tips which is common for such Seekers, so you can safely assume she is one! Specifically she comes from a nomadic tribe from Gyr Abania called the Saltwalkers. Sadly it was wiped out by the Empire in the opening stages of the invasion and subsequent occupation of Ala Mhigo, Khira and her adoptive parents being the only survivors. While she grew up outside of any tribal structure, she is very keen to reconnect to her heritage. She has worked closely with the Seeker tribes of Ala Mhigo, first when serving the Alliance as an explosives disposal expert and presently as an activist for tribal rights in the region after the liberation.

  • She has one big aether! About three times that of a normal person and with a slight bluish tint. If your character can perceive aether, that's the most significant thing about it.

  • She always carry a lot of gadgets and technological marvels on her person, including but not always; specialist tools, precision rifles, small automatons, magitek thingamajigs and most likely of all her adjustable multi-spectrum goggles with integrated targeting suite... well, you'd most likely not see that on a glance but if you ask about the goggles she'll talk your ears off about them.

  • If you are Garlean, she'll be very pleased to meet you.

ooc and wotnot

I am a 30+ goofball with a lot of time on my hands and a passion for cooperative writing. I got many years of experience writing and enjoy a variety of styles of RP. I'll list some stuff to keep in mind below but if you see me with the RP tag on, wherever and whenever, I am available and looking for roleplay and making friends. You can just walk up, send me a /tell or whatever to get my attention.

  • The usual applies, no god/meta gaming please, keep IC and OOC separate and don't make presumptions on our relationship.

  • I am very adaptable with my writing and can do one-liners and paragraphs interchangeably. My writing style when it comes to RP is content over volume so I don't use a lot of prose, instead focusing on succinct descriptions.

  • With Khira there will be a lot of comedic shenanigan. She's generally lighthearted and upbeat, with a healthy sprinkle of goofball naivete. While not a fool I often describe her as INT 20 WIS 0.

  • In case of mature and dark subjects I'd want to plot such things out before roleplaying it. Underneath the happy surface Khira has a lot of issues and while I might occasionally drop a small hint of that in casual RP it isn't what I want to just... dive into on a regular basis.

  • If you approach wanting ERP, you'll most likely be frustrated. While not completely clueless, Khira is a sexually oblivious virgin for whom innuendos and flirting will go right over her head. I still think it is funny to put her in situations like that, so feel free to try it out if you'd enjoy the comedy. Just know that I only engage in ERP with trusted individuals and if you are one, you'll already know.

  • Yes, I have Mare and I am willing to share, but unless we start hanging out on a regular basis I am unlikely to keep your code or our synch up. Gotta save that moon server space after all!
