About

Fiver Nimh is an archer, healer, and single dad carving out a life in Ul’dah—no longer bounty hunting, but never fully out of the woods. Mornings start with target practice at sunrise, clearing his head before a long day at the city’s free clinic, working under gruff old Jack Crusher—his mentor, and sometimes, his compass.He closes his nights tending bar at Wysteria, patching up club kids and drunks, keeping his world running on caffeine, clove cigarettes, and too little sleep. When the lights go down, he writes letters to his son Pip, or messes with lyrics he’ll never sing for anyone but himself.Fiver’s roots are tangled. He’s Gylkah—born to a hidden, blended tribe where politics matter more than people, but family can still bend the rules for a matriarch’s son. He’s welcome, just not quite one of them anymore; visits are all sidelong looks and careful silence.Blunt and quiet, Fiver keeps his distance, more out of habit than pride. Social anxiety claws at him—sometimes literally, leaving scars behind his neck and on his forearms. He fidgets, scratches, or jingles his bracelets when nerves hit; his ears say what he won’t. He smokes too much, avoids alcohol and anything stronger, and never shakes the sense that he’s undeserving of easier days.His loyalty runs deep, but trust is slow—friends get rare flashes of warmth, and his softest side is saved for his son. He’ll spend his last gil to keep Pip’s world gentle, even if it means running himself ragged between jobs and family.If you want to be Fiver’s friend, patience is key. He keeps his distance at first, always reading, always weighing—trust isn’t cheap. But once he lets you in, it’s for keeps. You’ll have his loyalty long after you’ve earned it, whether you’re ready or not.

And if you get close enough to see past the walls, you’ll find something nobody expects: Fiver has a thing for flowers. After too many years in gray stone cities, dense forests, and windblown ridges, nothing grounds him like a wild bloom or a bit of color growing where it shouldn’t. If he offers you a flower, keep it—it means you matter.

Rules

  • 18+ only.

  • IC ≠ OOC. In-character actions aren’t personal—keep real and fiction separate.

  • No ERP. I’m good with lead-in and aftermath, but any actual acts are fade-to-black, offscreen.

  • Violence is fine, just give a heads up if you plan to attack or go heavy. Consent first.

  • Blunt character. Fiver’s direct and doesn’t sugarcoat. I’ll try to cue intent with descriptions, but if you’re unsure how to interpret something, just ask—I’m happy to clarify.

  • Mare code available on request. Fiver’s look is as close as possible to default, but minor differences exist.

  • Bounty hunter history? If you want Fiver to have history with your character (esp. as a past bounty in Ishgard), just message me!

  • Communicate. If you have any issues, boundaries, or preferences (language, cursing, etc.), let me know—easy to work with, happy to adjust.

Hooks

  1. Tight-lipped on Tribe: Fiver won’t talk about the Gylkah unless pressed—he’ll roll his eyes or go quiet when tribal talk comes up. If you’re interested in the Gylkah or want to connect your character’s backstory, just ask OOC. (Full lore doc available.)

  2. Wysteria Bartender: Works evenings at Wysteria in Ul’dah—bartender and the guy you call if someone needs a healer mid-party. Recognize him from there? Easy opening.

  3. Clinic Volunteer: Spends mid-days at the free clinic. Need stitches, a patch-up, or recognize the grumpy healer from somewhere? He’s patched up quite a few folks by now(don’t be surprised if he doesn’t remember).

  4. Market Regular: Fiver’s often seen combing the markets for toys, little gifts for his son, or new teas. If you spot him, strike up a chat over tea or what’s new in the stalls.

  5. Tea Drinker: Not a connoisseur, but always up for a cup—he’ll make one for you, no fuss, no fancy leaves required.

  6. Archery: Morning target practice is still a ritual. Fellow archers, would-be students, or friendly competition welcome—just don’t expect endless conversation.

  7. Quicksands Stay (sometimes): Stays at Quicksands when his son’s in town. Otherwise, mostly around the club, clinic, or markets.

  8. Speaks Vieran (Icelandic): Can hold a conversation in Vieran—feel free to approach in his native tongue (IC), but expect blunt, honest replies.

  9. Smells Like Mint: Switched from cloves to mint cigarettes—if you catch a whiff, that’s him.

Sophie Saint-Saens: Waitress, cook, and unofficial caretaker at Wysteria, Sophie’s the one who keeps the place (and everyone in it) running.

Tristel Litnes: Tristal runs a small tattoo parlor out of Wysteria—and he’s the only one who calls Fiver by his real name, which is enough to leave Fiver flustered every time."Fimmer is an interesting fellow. More complex than he lets on and he never fails to keep the tea flowing freely."Tristel's Carrd
