Name: Miki'ik-Reh884Please respect copyright.PENANAaC6ZdtZnyH
The name means "knowing/calm Mhim'ik tribe warrior is Lost".884Please respect copyright.PENANAetS3H8muY8
When he was born, the tribe priests sensed that he would be very knowledgeable, so they named him Miki. He became a warrior, and that is explained below with the 'ik. Then, his tribe was burned by a rival tribe's drake deity, so he wandered around the Living Lands lost, so he named himself -Reh.
Titles: the Assistant, the Roaming, the Lost
Species: Xaurip, specifically grassland Living Lands Xaurip884Please respect copyright.PENANAVasNX9RQZ5
Xaurips are sentient though primitive lizard creatures about half the size of Humans. They are tribe-like and speak in a language consisting of clicks, throat-rolls, hisses, etc. They travel lands looking for a wurm, drake, or dragon to worship. Rival tribes are common, and often the greater tribe burns the other with their more powerful drake or dragon. The power of a tribe reflects the power of its deity, a large tribe of hundreds worshipping a dragon that sacrifice daily, a small tribe with thirty-three worshipping a wurm that feed, not sacrifice, whenever needed.884Please respect copyright.PENANAHXKe5RoK7h
Xaurips consist of five caste types: priests, the ones 'communicating' with the deities, a champion, the military leader and mightiest of all warriors in the tribe, warriors, those who protect their draconic god to the death and take all orders from the priest(s) and champion, skirmishers, the hunters and ranged warriors of the tribe who do a warrior duty as well as hunt, caretakers, who caretake the young hatchlings of the tribe and teach them the ways of living (commonly caretakers are veterans of a previous profession in order to train the young in that profession), and the young, the hatchlings of the tribe that are in their learning stages.884Please respect copyright.PENANAt7eOfg3hdp
Priests' names end in their tribe name, such as Hiiris Mhim'ik ("Qik'Ris Mhim'ik" tribe) or Irnh Mhim'ik ("Qik'Ris Mhim'ik" tribe) or Hiiris Nhis'is ("Tsinh'Qis Nhis'is" tribe); warriors' and the champion's names end in the tribe surname, such as Miki'ik ("Qik'Ris Mhim'ik" tribe) or Irnh'ik ("Qik'Ris Mhim'ik" tribe) or Hiiris'is ("Tsinh'Qis Nhis'is tribe); skirmishers, caretakers, and young only have given names.884Please respect copyright.PENANAOtsEtd12NL
Tribe names consist of the main deity's name followed by a given'surname tribe name. Such as "Tsinh'Qis Nhis'is", the main deity is Tsinh'Qis, and the tribe given name is Nhis, and the tribe surname is 'is. The tribe's priest(s) name the deity. For the deity, 'Qis means "drake", 'Qhiis means "young drake", 'Ris means "wurm". A dragon has no indication, and is just named its given name. Such as, when Tsinh'Qis becomes a dragon, he will be named "Tsinh" only. Though, very rarely does a drake become a dragon.884Please respect copyright.PENANA9QdIdocf2J
Fun facts: Qik'Ris means "Wheatgrass Wurm", Tsinh'Qis means "Treeroot Drake", Tsinh'Qhiis means "Treeroot Young Drake".884Please respect copyright.PENANAECUkqjHUqW

Backstory:884Please respect copyright.PENANA2XM1r9kie9
From a Living Lands tribe of thirty-three known as Qik'Ris Mhim'ik, they were a smaller tribe compared to the Tsinh'Qis Nhis'is, a tribe of sixty, though mostly priests due to the healing powers of their deities, and the Mhim'ik often had small skirmishes with the Nhis'is. For a good while, the Nhis'is made sure not to kill any Mhim'ik, and vice-versa, because the Nhis'is only wanted a message to be conveyed that they owned the grassland and small mountain in the area. One day, though, two Mhim'ik warriors came upon three skirmishers, and they fought. The Mhim'ik killed all three skirmishers, but one Mhim'ik warrior was wounded. Word came to the Nhis'is, and a war ensued.884Please respect copyright.PENANAqAMcVd0AeL
The war was quick, and Tsinh'Qis burned the smaller tribe to ash, and the few warriors in the Nhis'is easily dispatched the rival warriors and skirmishers through the help of their deity. Tsinh'Qhiis, Tsinh'Qis's little brother, kidnapped Qik'Ris, the Mhim'ik's wurm deity, and flew off with her. Miki'ik saw this all happen, and he was motioned by the champion to find Qik'Ris, and Miki has taken that small note as his life's course. He must find his deity, even if it is the last thing he does.884Please respect copyright.PENANAbTkP97Knzp
But he became thirsty as he was traveling through the Living Lands, and he also starved. He was in a desolate part of the Lands, and he needed desperate help. He thought he was going to die, but an Orlan named Ieris'il saved him and put him on the back of her stag, Mairnea. Miki'ik took this as a sign from the champion's spirit to find Qik'Ris with the help of allies. After all, he would have to fight a whole tribe of Xaurip.884Please respect copyright.PENANAqNer4SWENs
He is now Ieris'il's friend and assistant. Ieris'il is a mercenary, taking up arms for coin in colonies that need defending. She's spent a few years in the Living Lands, and practically calls it her new home. She used to live in the Aedyr Empire as an indentured servant, but bought her way out with a slave and trekked to the Living Lands. Her friend joined a Druid order, but she went on as a lone wolf with her new hart, Mairnea, and eventually found Miki. She taught him how to write Aedyr runes crudely and understand the Aedyr language, though it is impossible for him to speak it due to his lizard snout, teeth, and tongue. Nevertheless, through runes and images in earth and spilled grains, Ieris'il learns a lot about Xaurip culture, and Miki learns a lot about Aedyr culture. The two are good friends not only because of events and time, but also because of their similarity that they are outcasted from intelligent societies as stereotype barbarians. Of course, Xaurips are indeed primitive, but Miki is a more intelligent and passive one.884Please respect copyright.PENANANrGSWkQuEz
The two live off of the land, and are accustomed to fighting strange creatures. They have great times together, and every day is routine, except when they're hired to fight or go on adventures. This is the point at which Miki'ik-Reh's life-adventure begins. His hunt for the lost Qik'Ris. The beautiful Wheatgrass Wurm.

Story: Miki'ik-Reh the Xaurip [very original :D ]
Story Genre: Fantasy
Fan Fiction Base: Pillars of Eternity (find the game here and the wiki here)
Notes:884Please respect copyright.PENANAhXLCflFDzx
Xaurip in Dyrwood, where the game takes place, do not have feather hair. However, in the Living Lands, everything is unpredictable. I took Xaurip's love for feathers, and added that to be their instinct to look like their cousins in the Living Lands. Just some fan fiction logic there. Same logic with the language and culture, besides a few points.
This is all based on Pillars of Eternity, but I still made a lot myself. I hope you enjoyed my submission (a bit of an eyeful, but I enjoyed it anyways! I used up a whole 2 hours and 35 minutes on this entry, but weeks on my own made-up lore and backstories).
