There's a humorous spin on it as well, so it never really comes off as inappropriate (I've roleplayed some far more seemingly inappropriate themes, even in the open...). So don't worry about it. If your character is a womanizer, he's a womanizer.

Â I don't know a lot about lore at all admittedly and Im still quite poor at RP (another thread for another day).
BUT, I do have a question in regards to a bit of my backstory since it comes up enough now where I want to make sure I'm 'doing it right'. Â I've always said at least until this point, that I am not from Eorzea, and am from a different land far out West, in a tiny shit-hole of an existence called Malboro (My old west-coast server, which was a miserable existence). Â I always personally thought it was neat involving my server x-fer in that bit of origin story for me, but I am wondering if I am just going about it totally wrong, or if there is a better way to go about it.
Like are there delicious highlanders like myself not from...wherever Highlanders normally come from? Â I wouldn't know. Â
Thanks for any help rendered.

-Otto
The way I've always seen Otto is a man's man.Â
Perhaps he comes from the parents of some Highlanders who were caravan traders; Otto's mother conceived her child on the road.
With such a vibrant lifestyle of going from port to port and traveling on the road, he learned about trade, weaponry and of course, women! Now he wanders abroad, seeking some form of solace in his life because women, fighting and business don't cut it for him!
It's the mystery of Otto!
That sounds appealing...minus the combat part. Â Otto never was or has been a fighter. Â Im ripped to shreds due to the heritage mostly, and the working out. Â My knowledge of the Lance is Academic, and not at all learned through experience.
But that sounds neat.
As an aside I always wonder how people look at me or my character due to the...non-stop womanizing and being so blase' about it. Â Ultimately I wonder if its ahhh inappropriate or makes people uncomfortable or something. Â I should make a thread for this maybe and ask I'm not sure.
