astralconflict So it's 3am and I've been playing on FFXIV once again. There is actually a reason for me being up so late though - my cold suddenly got even shittier which effectively stopped me from sleeping properly and well, I ended up sleeping until like 4pm today.... I'm gonna go to bed in a sec and hopefully get up at 9. One step at a time.
Anyways, I renamed and redesigned my main on FFXIV after a miqo'te character in a dream I had. His name is K'hani Tia (gotta follow those naming conventions). His name actually has meaning which is nice though. The K is the letter associated with the hipporian tribe of miqo'te (no idea which it's a K, but it just is) so that's the tribe he originated from.
'Hani' is a name found in Hawaiian and Muslim naming, meaning 'happy' or 'to move lightly'. Also the name 'Khani' is a name which is very popular in Iran and the middle east. It has a lot of meanings including 'hidden, religious person, spiritual' etc As K'hani follows the miqo'te naming conventions, the 'h' would be a 'hissing sound' unpronouncable to many of the other races in Eorzea. Therefore the name is usually pronounced to others as 'Kani'. To close family and friends, it's common for the K to be dropped and so 'Hani' would be more an affectionate name.
The 'tia' part of his name is a suffix for a non-breeding male - in each tribe they only have one or two breeding males - who bare the suffix nunh. Yes, that does mean miqo'tes have harems, the clan (Seekers of the Sun) that he's from anyways. Since he left his tribe and went adventuring the Tia suffix doesn't mean much any more, but he keeps it as part of his official name as a nod to his heritage.
The character originated from a dream I had, and I've decided the class that would suit him the best is most likely going to be summoner. He's already a lv62 bard from my previous game, but as miqo'tes are talented hunters, it makes sense that he would do archery.
I've actually looked into some RP stuff, but there seems to be a huge lack of RPers on Zodiark, with people recommending Omega. It might be worth making another character to test on Omega, as I don't think they're accepting transfers at this time. I kinda wish I knew that before, because I would have just have made K'hani a new character. But at the same time, I don't know if I have the time and energy to go through all the main story again. If they accept transfers in the near future it might be worth looking though.
Anyways, I'm just rambling because I wanted to get a journal out. Idk if I'm gonna reach 100 by December 31st but it would be awesome if I could. I just need to remember to actually blog here, even if it's nonsense it's still writing!
