History
Miryl grew up in Limsa Lominsa as an only child to her parents, Rosa and Ernst Flynt. While far from rich, she enjoyed a modest upbringing - her father was a blacksmith and her mother worked at The Drowning Wench part-time. She was able to secure Miryl a job there waiting tables once she was old enough, which her folks thought would be enough to keep their daughter at home.It wasn't.During one of her many shifts working at the Wench, she met a stranger from Gridania who was passing through town. He was a recruiter for the lancer's guild and was on his way back home, stopping there on his way back from a mostly unsuccessful recruitment drive. Miryl caught his eye and he offered her a chance to earn a spot in their guild. He didn't give her much time to decide and, after a flurry of last-minute preparations and arrangements, Miryl took a leap of faith and followed him to Gridania.He trained her for several weeks, but always had a reason why she couldn't audition for the guild. They were too busy, or recruitment was on hold, or he had a mission to attend to; the excuses piled higher and higher. When she finally had enough and confronted him on it, he told her that she just wasn't ready, and that he frankly thought she never would be.There was a way he could get her in, however. If she did him a favour...Little did he realize that she'd had combat training from the frequent customers who attended her father's business. He found out pretty quickly after she decked him in the face, spinning him around and down, down to the ground.He ended up out cold.He also does not get a name here in her story.Miryl figured that was it, then. No Lancer's guild for her, no future in Gridania, and she was about to head back home in defeat until an unfamiliar voice called out to her. It turned out one of the unnamed idiot's brothers in the Lancer's guild were looking for him, and they saw everything that had unfolded. It wasn't long before he was out and Miryl was in and became a Lancer, taking the spot of the buffoon who'd been manipulating her.She spent months fighting alongside her fellow Lancers before she became injured severely enough in battle to require magical healing. A mistimed jump on her part resulted in not only an awkward fall in full armour but an arrow piercing her then-exposed side. She was laid up for several days and a white mage named Kayla attended to her. Miryl became enamoured with both the use of magic and the user of magic as a result, falling for them both. While their tryst didn't last all that long, her love of magic took root and she decided to attempt to learn the art herself.Miryl learned the ways of white magic, dabbling in scholarly pursuits and astrology as well, and put down the lance. While she loved the frenetic energy and do-or-die approach to melee combat, magic became a true passion of hers. Healing was not easy, however, and once she plateaued in her abilities she became frustrated with her lack of process.In truth she found herself missing the dextrous side of her lancing days, but still wanted to use magic. So when she discovered the role of a Red Mage existed, she knew that was her true calling. Magic mixed with swordplay and a mobile attacking paradigm? It practically screamed out to her, and she knew what she had to do.Looking for someone who could train her in the very specific and demanding art, Miryl left Gridania and set out in search of someone who could help her achieve what she knew was her destiny.
Family and Friends
Having left Limsa at a young age, Miryl's journey has brought her away from her biological family but has also given her a whole new found family.Jackie Frost: Her spouse of nearly a year, Jackie has a complicated past all of her own. She's been a rock for Miryl, however, even if her own adventures have lead to them being apart for the last little while.Makoto Sakimuri: Miryl's best friend in all of Eorzea. They've been through a lot together, especially following the dissolution of their previous free company, but she'll always have Koto's back and she knows that she'll have hers.Ezeckial Lionheart: Koto's partner, Eze has been a fierce friend and protector of Miryl's just as long as Koto. Along with Koto the three of them struggled after their FC exploded but she knows she can always count on him when needed.Sorkhaghtani Kagon:
Tani started out as Miryl's mentor in Red Magic, and she gladly absorbed all the au'ra had to teach her. Over time, though, the pair grew closer and developed a mutual fondness for each other, which turned into a mutual desire after a kiss under an umbrella on a rainy evening in the Mist. Her path with her girlfriend is just starting but Miryl is looking forward to every step along the way with Tani.Kazara Dawncreeper: She started out as a client back in her Starlight days, but Kaz became an extremely good friend and eventual roommate to both Miryl and Jackie. While they may no longer live together, they remain very close friends.S'ugafri Redbhul: The co-owner of and a co-worker at the Fortune's Bloom, S'uga has become a great friend in general. She loves working with her and hopes that their venue will be back in full Bloom in the very near future!Juliasra Hana: Juliasra is another very close friend to both Miryl and Jackie. Similar to Kaz, they met through Miryl's time at Starlight, and that grew into a close friendship between the three of them long after her departure from the venue. Juliasra is also the Eorzean-renowned owner and chef at Steppe Ramen!
Role-Playing Hooks
Lady in Red: Miryl started her adventuring career as a Lancer, then became fascinated with magic and tried being a White Mage. When ultimately she grew dissatisfied with both, she was excited to discover Red Magic held a combination of physicality/dexterity and magic. It's been her goal now to learn as much as possible about Red Magic. If your character is on a similar journey, or - even better - has knowledge and/or experience to teach her, this would be an amazing hook for RP.In the Club: Her mother worked at the Drowning Wench, and Miryl seems to have caught that bug... she's often out and about, having worked in several venues. Feel free to chat her up if you see her at one, or, if you have a great place to suggest, she's always open to explore new spaces.Lim-say You, Lim-say Me: From Limsa Lominsa yourself? She's found herself homesick lately, so anyone who has that common connection has a great opening to talk to her about their shared hometown.The Middie Griddie: Her own venue, it's open fairly infrequently these days, but suffice to say when its doors are open it's a great time to come by and say hi. You won't leave with an empty stomach if she can help it!
OOC
Hi there! Thanks for checking out Miryl's carrd. I hope to keep it updated as frequently as possible, but the pictures especially are a little on the older side, at least for now.I've been RPing for along time now, going back to the days of IRC without getting too specific, and Miryl is a 1.0 character even though I took a long, long break from 1.0 to coming back in Shadowbringers.Feel free to walk up and tell her if you'd like; slice of life/mundane RP has been the majority of my RPing lately but the better/longer she gets to know someone things can change and get more involved. If you'd like something more detailed/long term then please feel free to send me a tell in game and we can try to figure something out.See you in Eorzea! :)
