Sulhi Bayoumi

Golmore Jungle, Dei-Ijla Village
Year 1445 6AE, born under the Dei-Ijla, her birthplace village and former surname. Do you remember a kindly, free spirited gatherer who often spent a lot more time outside the village than one who is expected to return before dusk?

Mercenary for hire in Rabanastre and Valnain
Between the years 1507 to 1535 6AE, a Viera began making the rounds as a hire for any jobs that needed an able body. Scout, Guide, Mercenary, Guard, Supplier? Commonly working with a Hrothgar Pugilist?

Eastern Explorer
Year 1536 to 1547 6AE, Sulhi's travels had taken her beyond Othard and into Doma, Hingashi, and Thavnair. Still a blade for hire, but an explorer eager to absorb new cultures with her newfound understanding of Hyurian language. Have you hired a Viera in the East? Did you meet a curious wandering ronin freshly taken up the katana? A warrior traveling the Steppes? Or a "pretender Auspice" raising the tempers of superstitious Hingan locals? Maybe a Viera who would often be seen frequenting Mehryde's Meyhane leering at the job board?
(Endwalker Spoiler)If you participated in assisting the Radiant Host with fighting back the horrors of the Final Days, maybe you fought alongside her. Directly, or indirectly.

Dalmascan Resistance and Lente's Tears
During the year 1547 6AE to year 5 7UE Sulhi had lent her hand freely between the splintered groups of the Dalmascan Resistance. Participating in escort operations, freeing prisoners, fighting Garlean soldiers head on, and ambushing supply chains. She had first gained awareness of Lente's Tears following the efforts of guiding refugees from Rabanastre to Orbonne Monastery. Between the thousands of faces and names in the Resistance yours could've been one of them.

Eastern Viera finding work on Western Shores
At current it's been close to a year since Sulhi arrived on the continent of Eorzea, but there's still much Sulhi has not seen or experienced for herself. She continues to ply her usual trade alongside finding new people and lives to engage herself with. Now with war and strife behind her, she wants to see the land of the famed Eorzean Alliance. She's regularly seen between Horizon and Ul'dah and will often travel to Vylbrand to enjoy the crisp sea air and fruits of the orchards. The Shroud offers her exciting hunts and reminds her most closely of home, so during wistful days she'd take trips here to clear her mind. Ishgard and Coerthas has been the least enjoyable experience in her estimations. Originally working there on contracted work for a short while. She has plans to visit Gyr Abania and beyond, so if you frequent these areas you may have seen her! She's always available for a talk.

Criminals, Bounties, and the Lawless
Sulhi's work regularly has her seeking bounties and chasing the criminal element for gil and excitement both. How she handles a wanted person depends largely on their general disposition and severity of the crime. Have a character with a bounty you're interested in being looked into? A well-known criminal who slips from the shackles of the law? Or a misunderstood roguish type? Or most favorably, a Sky Pirate? Sulhi may have taken a bounty after you or followed rumors leading to you! Or are you someone who deals in an "independent" market? Sulhi could be tempted to make a deal, if you can convince her.

Alchemists, Weapon Smithy's, and Tailors
Sulhi's always in need of potions and poisons, are you an alchemist who takes commissions? Her tulwar and longbow will need regular maintenance, if you have an interest in her weaponry and would like to advertise yourself feel free! After every outing there's always going to be more tear added to her wear, do you stitch and leather work for a living?

Social Butterfly
Frequent any bars? Taverns? Inns? Like to wander about? Someone who does odd jobs or finds yourself in the outdoors often? Regardless where you are or what you're up to, Sulhi is always down for a good conversation and making a new acquaintance! Sulhi might approach you if you pique her interest, or you can approach her. No strings attached or any specific prior motivation. Say hello, and she'll be happy to talk.

Heightened Flow of Aether (Higher Difficulty Hook)
For those with Aethersight or a means of being able to sense, detect, or visualize aether; you can see that Sulhi's flow of aether is uncommonly harmonious. One might describe it as the way currents of wind or water naturally flows and develops. Her amount of aether is the average among all mortal races, but when in use it flows with great efficiency. Spending less to do more.

Two Missing Friends (Personal Narrative Hook)
When Sulhi first gained her footing in Rabanastre, she befriended two men. Zanfaar, a Dalmascan Hyur who was a chronicler of Ivalician History, that taught her how to formally speak Dalmascan as well basic Common. Varjazahn, a Bozjan Pugilist who had goals for mastering his body beyond the limits of his ignorance, seeking a Monsastic Order to challenge him.Zanfaar was conscripted into the IVth Legion, and was part of the research team excavating the Ridorana Lighthouse following the battle for the Auricite. Varjazahn had discovered the Fists of Rhalgr, and narrowly escaped the Mad King's purging of the order. Returning home in defeat only to find soon after Bozja would be invaded by the Galemald. He has not been seen since. The two would speak fondly of Sulhi to anyone they'd have crossed paths and spoke with for a length of time. Could you have met them and find that Sulhi matches the description of their old Vieran friend?

Mist (Viera Specific Hook/FF12 Lore)
Golmore and Skatay born Viera would know the term "Aether" as "Mist". Viera are sensitive to it, and can detect high concentrations of it. Even going so far as to become frenzied by it under over-exposure. (This is at the players discretion/permission) If you are a being comprised of heavy amounts of aether, such as a Fae or otherwise naturally possessing higher amounts of aether than the average mortal, Sulhi may be sensitive to your presence.
