BRIEF HISTORY: Kiba was born before Doma’s fall, but hardly remembers what it was like. Her father fell in defense of their village, and her mother struggled to raise her. She became a delinquent at a young age, petty crimes all of them. During her teenage years, she joined up with the Confederacy and had the misfortune to be the fall guy for the murder of a Garlean captain. While incarcerated, she was approached to join the penal legion, the Alaudae-- and did so eagerly. Under their command, she befriended a sour Hrothgar who taught her the vaguest bits of Gunbreaker knowledge over their time together. Her friend was punished to the point of death one fateful evening, causing Kiba to reconsider her decisions thus far. That very evening, she slipped the collar and fled with the Hrothgar’s soul gem and gunblade in tow. She now serves as a bounty hunter, laying low to avoid recapture by the Alaudae.

rp hooks ––– –
I Got a Job for You: Kiba is a bounty hunter, always on the lookout for takedowns. She hangs out around Adventurer’s Guilds and Hunt Boards, and is known in a few circles as being a dogged pursuer of targets. If you need someone handled, she’s your gator.
Arrest That Gator!: Kiba is wanted dead or alive by the Garlean Empire. She has undergone extensive tattooing to try and cover her recognizable features at first glance and uses a pseudonym, but among certain circles (namely, the Alaudae or other Empire-commissioned hunters) could recognize her. She steers clear of lands with heavy Empire presence for good reason.
Need a Tune-Up?: Kiba is handy with mechanical things. Be it an engine or tiny gears in a timepiece, and she can figure it out. She’s not the best mechanic or tinker by malms, but she is good in a pinch if you’re stranded or in dire need.
Street Rat: Kiba was raised on the despot streets of an Imperial town shortly after the occupation began. Fellow feral Doma-born children might recognize her beneath the tattoos and scars.
What’re You In For?: Kiba spent several years in Garlean prisons for reasons ranging from petty theft to the murder of an Imperial captain. Fellow former inmates may recognize her beneath the tattoos and scars.

I am new to the RP scene here on FFXIV (RP’d primarily on WoW for many years), and I hang out on Balmung! I have a couple buddies I play with, but I’m always looking for new contacts and RP. If you want to set up stuff long-term and we jive, I’m down to see where it goes!
I’m well over 18, and I’m cool with most topics and themes; if you’re unsure, just ask! You can reach me on Balmung as (shockingly) Kiba Kojiri.
