I can't imagine Balmung would be as enjoyable and interesting if every Miqo'te had a tribal upbringing and lifestyle. My main is intended to be bred from a Seeker and a Midlander. Even then, I would not call Lyrik a "cosplaying hyur". Her ears and tail are brought into her expressions when needed.
I enjoy the challenge of Lyrik being reared in an urban setting by a Hyur... and yet she is still part Miqo'te and struggles to understand what that means. Why some instincts, mannerisms and aspects of her are simply different. Aside from physically (which is the least of racial differences IMHO), different hearing. Different instincts on occasion. I am fortunate she's ended up under the wing of a very tribal Miqo'te and is currently learning to hunt out in the desert. Will Lyrik become more traditional? Will she stay very "hyur-like"? Either way she is still Miqo'te. Or at least partially. I'm looking forward to her progression. I expect an RP server to have variety and original ideas.
Lastly on the subject of moral conflict regarding traditional breeding and the frequent "Nuhn" issues... well, it is what it is. Lyrik knows several Nuhn and most of them are serious males with their concern lying in providing for the females and leadership. Luckily for overly affectionate Lyrik, they seem to naturally tolerate the will of the females they consider to be under their care. I look forward to seeing a Nuhn strutting about like he's god's gift to all cats. There are males of all races attempting to lay with multiple women. All sorts of women who have the same ambitions. No Miqo'te is bound to "service" any Nuhn simply because of her race. I have no issues with anyone's sexual decisions. I rather enjoy the interesting female empowerment in these cat like individuals. Perhaps it's my animal inclined education talking but I really find it interecting even if I don't partake.
