Hydaelyn Role-Players

I know someone who is planning on killing their character off and fantasiaing to Au Ra. I know 3 other people considering it.

All of them Miqote.

HMMM.

I like them. I need to see more of them/their lore, but I like them so far. The men look REALLY good.

A little let down at how human the females look, but I'm not surprised. Yugiri was really reaching when she said people might freak out if she took her hood off. From a distance, it isn't even noticeable.

In reality, the reason is because she got sick and tired of people making "horny" jokes all the time.

Lmao. I figure they've probably been met with ill reactions to their scaly skin and horns before. Though, she has a TAIL. Why even bother to hide the rest! Still, the more hidden, the better.

I adore them. I'd consider changing to one if I believed I could afford a fantasia by then, but any money I can save up by then will probably go to paying for the expansion itself.

I've been thinking about the whole Ishgard/LaywithaDragon angle...

If it's true, I'm thinking that even though it's not toooo noticeable to us that it would still draw suspicion. Also, she's trying to garner support and one of the Eorzean allies is Ishgard. Somewhat. She doesn't want -anything- to get in the way of her and her people getting the support they are in need of, so she is taking all of the precautions that she can.

I bet there's gonna be some shitstorm going on when her face is shown.

.... On that matter, was the cross race thing in the MSQ said to be which races. I am now imagining Elezen and Au Ra and the shitstorm that'd be.

I'm staving off any alt-itis on my part until we see more of their emotes, hear their voices, and so on. It's hard for me to be excited for them based on their appearances alone, because they really aren't that different from what we have in the game already.

It wasn't so much a lore decision as a clever way of hinting to players that whatever she was, it was not like anything in Eorzea. That, and the horns covered in her veil. Instead of going full mysterious, SE decided to tease us as much as they could while still being able to cover her up.

That tail was basically one giant cocktease. And it worked.

Lol...

I really can't make alts. I don't have the time for them and I enjoy playing a Lalafell in all aspects (PVE and RP) to really motivate myself to either fantasia or kill Kage off unless it actually serves a good purpose (then I might change race. It's so hard to decide if I'd continue to RP if then... D


But I do so like the race starter clothes and I like both male and female Au Ra. Will I roll a female Au Ra if I replace LalaKage? Highly Probable that no I won't. The male Au Ra look like BAMFs imo.

I wish the females were rougher looking.

I've been doing some thinking! Some constructive thinking, if you'll all forgive me. Most, if not all of it lies in speculation, but it intrigued me.

So let's suppose that the dragon diddling thing is true. Missy Shiva and Bad Dragon did some things that are supposedly a BIG NO NO. They deedlydoodlied and LO, A nasty wreckblood half-race sort of breakaway thing comes to be, the Au Ra!

Shiva, the female, is hyuran, beautiful, petite and demure. 

Bad Dragon, the male, is large, tough and muscular -- pretty tall too.

Their offspring/the new race, thus forward consisted of petite and pretty females with mostly hyuran features, while the males were taller, broader and more rough looking. 


Though it's just speculation on my part, it sounds like the sort of thing that would go into the making of such a race, and I don't really deem it as lazy at all. This is just their thing. After much thinking I sort of sit here and realize it would be absolutely silly of me to sit here and rail about something not being done according to my expectations and standards. 

And if I really didn't like it to the point of being disgusted, I'd get up off my lazy butt and go design a game with the characters I had in mind.

But that's just me!

I would be so thrilled if that speculation turns out to be the truth, but as they say, who he expects nothing is seldom disappointed!

If the Au Ra are credited with being the descendants of Shiva and dragons, their existing is going to make things... interesting come 3.0.

Can't wait for the first Au Ra Dragoon to exist.

I mean, in the myriad pantheons of gods and goddesses I've read, I know that these beings do all sorts of things out of what would appear boredom...but even with that in mind, one has to wonder what would make Shiva look at a dragon and go "Hay bby haaaay".

Could be, though. Seems no more or less reasonable an origin story than anything else.

How much is the expansion? Do you buy it off Mog Station? 

I swear for some reason I never heard that part of anything regarding the expansion.
