personality

Polite and courteous, B'rhoze conducts himself amicably to all he meets. Although he's a businessman, he seems to treat others with earnest sincerity and sympathy. He sticks to a strict code of honesty, though he's not above a little embellishment. It's a simple part of the job.

Despite how friendly and warm he is with others, he remains rather closed-off personally. Holding his own emotions and experiences close to his chest, it takes a long time before he feels comfortable enough to share his own opinions and thoughts. Even then, however, he downplays these feelings; the last thing he wants is to "burden" anyone with them.

In the off-chance he encounters someone he has disagreements with, he sticks to the tenet of "kill them with kindness." He remains as polite as possible, smiling and engaging until he's in private and he can drop the facade. While he will avoid those he dislikes, he's never rude to them—unless they start it, of course.


history

B'rhoze was born to the B tribe, a semi-nomadic and large Seeker tribe based on Vylbrand. As an incredibly social and friendly tribe, the B encourage their young to go through of rite of passage into adulthood: a pilgrimage. Members may leave for as long as they like and go wherever they want, provided they travel at least as far as Limsa Lominsa.

When B'rhoze left on his own pilgrimage, he promised not to return until finding a way to help the tribe substantially. He stopped first in Limsa Lominsa, where he stayed for a couple years as he studied at the Arcanists' Guild. While he took to magic like a duck to water, he suddenly dropped out without a word to anyone and left Limsa.

From there, he traveled to Ul'dah, where he picked up mining, and then goldsmithing, from their respective guilds. Once again, he took naturally to the two fields, his eye for precision and detail-oriented mind aiding him. A few years after he began learning, a merchant took him under her wing, impressed with the amount of detail in the jewelry he crafted.

He studied under her for several more years in Ul'dah, honing his skills and his shrewd business sense. He also cultivated a long list of contacts during this period, connecting both with his mentor's and his own clientele. He had plans to visit Gridania to expand his list of contacts, but the Calamity stopped him.

He lost many friends in the tragedy, not to mention his mentor. Filled with a need for something comforting and familiar, B'rhoze returned home. His path was slow-going and circuitous, as he found no shortage of people to help along the way; ultimately, it took him two long years of traveling to finally return to his tribe.

After so many years away, he had a decent idea for how to contribute to his family. He started traveling as a merchant, facilitating the trade and sale of goods produced by his tribe (and gathered or crafted by himself).

Today, he continues to represent his tribe, ensuring they want for little, even if they have to turn to another sovereign power's people for it.

"you're a familiar face!"

B'rhoze stayed for a long amount of time in Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, and the areas in between. It's possible you knew him while he studied at the Arcanists', Goldsmiths', or Miners' Guilds, or even in the years shortly following the Calamity. You might have been guild-mates, or he might have filled a commission you put in at the Guild.

"you know my tribe?"

With how sociable the B tribe is, it's entirely possible you know B'rhoze through them! They often take in other Miqo'te who are searching for a new home, whether they're fleeing from their old tribe or just looking to reconnect with their roots. They maintain connections with the other tribes on Vylbrand, being incredibly sociable and friendly for generations now.

"you have a business proposal?"

B'rhoze has contacts and trade partners all over Eorzea! It's possible that you've done business with him before. He trades wares that his tribe produces regularly, such as fruit, animal pelts, and fish, in addition to other wares like ore and jewelry he procures himself. In exchange, he looks for specific requests from his tribe of things that aren't easily obtained on Vylbrand.

i'm always looking for people to rp with, but i'm really really shy, so i tend to just roll with whoever approaches me, LOL. so please feel free to hit me up ooc :) i'd love to work out storylines and stuff!

i'll add anyone ingame, and the easiest way to reach me outside of that is through my personal tumblr or twitter (listed on my personal carrd). i have a discord, but i only add people i've spoken to before.


disclaimers

  • DNI if you're homophobic, transphobic, racist, or if you use a female avatar for your male character.

  • I don't ERP. B'rhoze is taken, so romance is off the table, too.

  • Bending lore is A-OK!

  • Okay with most themes, but please discuss with me OOC beforehand if you'd like to do something darker.

  • I'm super shy, so I'll need a nudge or two to get into RPing with a stranger, but I promise I'll do my best.
