Midras

Midras is an Non-Player Character in Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin. Also known as "Mid" or "Junior", he is the son of Cid, and is working with the Inventor's Coalition in Western Adoulin.

Appearance and Personality
Midras is a male hume wearing an apron with the Blacksmith Guild emblem. He has face #3 of those available for players, but his hair is hidden by a hardhat. He is as intelligent as would be expected of the son of Cid, and has an informal disposition, referring to his father as "Pops".

Story
Midras arrived in Adoulin by ship across the "tumultuous sea of Zafmlug", and references their lack of food and the danger of deep-sea threats no longer faced since the advent of waypoints. In spite of this trial, he is grateful for the opportunity to join the Inventor's Coalition, having learned much by joining them.

With the population explosion since the start of Ulbuka's recent colonizatin efforts, food supplies have waned. Midras traveled to the Sih Gates to survey for a new mineral to use in fertilizer, where the player first meets him. He asks the player to bring word to Cid that he needs a new explosive compound for his research.

Etymology
"Mid" is a common name given to Cid's son or grandson in Final Fantasy. The name first appeared in Final Fantasy V (and by extension, the Legend of the Crystals OVA) as that of Cid's grandson, then was later alluded to in Balthier's birth name.
