Heya there! Good to see you rolled an Ala Mhigan, currently I'm stuck in Roleplay, so my reply isn't as well written as it should be.

But I once more wish to point out, unless her mother trained her all those years, it is unlikely she has Chakra knowledge. It takes years and years to master it, and some might not ever master it to begin with. All children in Ala Mhigo learn how to fight after all. You can't be opening chakras if you don't know the basics. And hate it or love it, but little kids can't practice beyond just stances, especially at the age she was before the Fists got purged... by all means, if her mother gone in hiding, she was about 4, given the temples fell 25 years ago. Surely she could have still met up with her daughter, but yeah, I don't see a 9 year old opening a chakra either, or gaining the proper knowledge to do such.

Mind you, the King of Ruin tried to root them out, so most of their knowledge is lost. Including near most of their teachings on papers. I'd hardly imagine there are Monk scrolls laying around for the grabbing.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...-Spoilers) - Scroll down to the section of The Fate of The Fist of Rhalgr for information on that.

As well, I did some extra translation from the German questline (it is still canon, despite the English version leaving it out), where it gets pointed out that their knowledge was thought to be lost.

Someone else brought the topic up, and well, have a link to my reasoning why Chakra spellcasting is probably a big nope, beyond the few meagre skills we have.

And as far as we know, we have Mantra, and Second Wind, but beyond that, Monks are severely lacking in healing skills. I do love the idea of a healing Monk, but I'd wager that healing with chakras, especially others, is probably something what requires a lot of training and the like, and probably is reserved for the older, and experienced Fists.

As well, being a Fist comes with indoctrination, especially if she has been taught by her mother. I'm not saying it is impossible, but they are highly religious. As well, how are you going to have a Rhalgr hating chakra wielding person in the open? Ala Mhigans, and Fists, would probably both come for her. Not that I say it is impossible, but how logical would it be? Fist see a lot of things as heresy, including wearing cyclas as a non-Fist, and I'd imagine denouncing Rhalgr openly would get you killed as well. Especially if she has knowledge of chakras somehow. Mind you, the King of Ruin forbade and spat on Rhalgr, and see where that got the Ala Mhigans in the end. Worshipping other Gods is fine, but I'd still not openly screech over the city's patron God. Ala Mhigans, and especially Fists, are crazy. It be like putting a "I'm a heretic" sign over her head, especially with chakra knowledge.

Also, why the Arcanist guild? If you want to be a stabby stab, wouldn't it make more sense for her to mingle with the Rogues of Limsa instead Smile? As well, as explained in the thread above, chakra magic is used for chakra things, not other things. Kilieit gave a good example of that in the thread as well.

I'm in no way discouraging you, but your character seems to be all over the place currently. Whereas multiclassing is... well a thing you can do, but if this is your first FFXIV RP char, I'd strongly suggest just focusing on one thing. Especially with a thing thrown as Fists in the mix, what is considered a mostly lost art, and hard to train into.

In any case, good look with whatever you decide!
