Backstory that may or may not suck; need opinions. - D'eshel - 03-26-2015

Hello there!... again.

So after expressing my uncertainty of my character's backstory to a person I met, I was suggested to write it down here to get some opinions about it. Now, you can be a veteran roleplayer of many years and many years, but you can still get a little anxious when in touch with a completely new setting... so here's me doing that.

There we go. Well, no further comments from me, at least for now. Thoughts/opinions? Thanks!
So there you go.

This looks absolutely fine to me. Only thing is that a Seeker tribe technically only has one Nunh/breeder male while the remaining males are Tias until there's a challenger or whatnot. 

If you're concerned about originality, Miqo'te breaking out from their tribe to become city folk is a common trope, but it could be said that acharacter's uniqueness should come from their actual personality, not their background.

Quick edit: The common background trope isn't exclusive to Miqo'te. Try Highlanders who are all Ala Mhigan refugees or their children, also a very common one. Besides, if you want to stick close to the lore of either of these groups, relying on that canned background is essential...so the originality comes down to execution!
