MEHR MARIGOLD
IMPORTANT NOTE:
I portray Mehr as nonverbal/selectively mute. He can talk but only when needed or to close friends and loved ones. Most of his conversations in-game are written down on a notepad he carries around, his tomestone, or through sign language*. Here's the following key I use to differentiate the two, if it not indicated in chat somehow:<> for writing/typing
[[]] for signing
"" for when he talks (very rarely)!*I headcanon that he knows: Eorzean, Dalmascan, and Othardian (specifically Hingan) sign languages. He personally uses a mix between Eorzean and Dalmascan and even his Eorzean sign language is taken heavily from the Gridanian variation.

OOC
Hi, thanks so much for reading through Mehr's carrd! They are my pride and joy and I put a lot of effort into maintaining this carrd along with their character development. I am both humbled and flattered whenever folks tell me how much they enjoy his design.I am not nearly as cool or interesting as him but if for some reason you want to get to know the person behind the character, know the following: 1) if you think I am sleeping, chances are I'm probably sleeping. 2) I am probably giving so much attention to my very needy but cute puppy. 3) I love MILFs.As I've stated on the Rules page, I am quite the busybody so I try to manage my time wisely. Doesn't happen but I try anyway.Now that I've put myself out there, it's time to disappear into a void. See ya!
RULES
GENERAL
In game interactions are preferred. Discord RP is reserved for close friends.
If RP tag is on, please feel free to interact with Mehr. WU/T , WU/S is fine but I also don't mind /tells for OOC greetings.
I prefer things to happen organically through interactions but I am open to OOC discussions if it's for the long haul. I do prefer long term interactions but please note I am a bit selective when it comes to developing his relationships.
Due to Mehr's backstory and overall character development, there may be dark and mature themes present in his lore. Please address caution when interacting with him. (Note: will be working on including CW/TW tags to their background soon.)
Persistent /tells will be ignored.
SHIPPING
I multiship and don't mind multiple, separate ships for Mehr. I would have ships be AUs separate of one another, unless approved and discussed with my RP partners.
MISC
Thoughts, ideas, and actions expressed by my character does not reflect me OOCly.
Mehr's design is my own. Commissioned art and illustrations themselves belongs to their respective artists. Do NOT use him art for your character / RPs / icons / etc.
Please respect my time and space. I am quite busy IRL.

HOOKS
FOR THE AETHER SENSITIVE
For those inclined, it appears to be a misty blue, like fog over bright, clear waters. It gives off the impression of stability but also of an opportunity to shift and change. However, beneath that appears something lacking, like the void.
COURIER OF HOPES & DREAMS
Whether WOL or OC, he shoulders all responsibilities and burdens, no matter the cost, no matter the expense. He does what he is told and when he puts his mind to helping others, not much can get in his way until he does what he sets out to do.

WOL VERSE
For most instances, this is my "canon" verse for him, as he's my primary character.Mehr's background is as common as it gets.He arrives to Eorzea as an adventurer and memories of his past are practically nonexistent. His knowledge of Eorzean history, or any major conflict, only surfaces through his association with the Scions. The more time he spends with them, the more he learns. During ARR, he was expressive but still was selectively mute.From the events of HW to SB, he leans heavily into his role as the Warrior of Light and carriers the hopes and dreams of everyone he's lost and every person he can yet save. Slowly but surely, he withdraws further and further into his shell, keeping a neutral or battle-ready expression when it is needed of him. He comes close to death many times, only to pull from the ashes every time.By the end of SHB, he knows he still has work left to finish.
