If I have Plaza of Purification (TIoR), can I play Free Cities Mercenaries (TBoBB) with six influences instead of put them into shadows?

I don't believe so because you are attempting to play the card through paying gold, even if you find something else to substitute for gold (ie. influence).

Does STR 2 mean printed STR? Or can I burn a STR 3 character with Forever Burning and Flame kissed and stand Free Cities Mercenaries? How about killing a STR 4 character with Incinerate (it will have 0 STR when it dies) to stand Free Cities Mercenaries?

Yes, any character whose STR is 2 or lower when it is killed will meet the criteria for this response. So if you burn a character, that will always work because they are at 0 STR when killed.

And to clarify. Printed STR is always specified in the card text (see Venomous Blade for example).

Does this trigger when the character is declared moribund:dead but returned to saved? If so can I use it with Viserys Targaryen (Core) being used to satisfy mil claim/etc?

Nope. Cards become moribund only after the opportunity to trigger save/cancel responses and in order to stand Free Cities Mercenaries a character has to actually become moribund:dead. So you either save Viserys, or let him die to stand your army.

Ah ok, so could I use a response phase action (such as Bodyguard (Core)) on a str 2 or lesser and use that instead?

What? No, why would Bodyguard be any different than Viserys? You either save the character OR you stand Free Cities Mercenaries. If you save the character, it never becomes moribund. If it is not moribund, you can't trigger Mercenaries.

In other words, when you use an ability that has the word "save" in it, they never died in the first place. Therefore, you cannot trigger any abilities off of a character being killed, since it didn't happen.
