Hey there! A friend and I decided to give a couple of seekers a try. Admittedly, I have played a Keeper in the past, but not a Seeker. This site has definitely been very helpful in learning what little bits of lore the devs have given us as well as the general consensus of how the RP community feels about Seekers. As we flesh out more of our story though, a couple questions popped into my head that I was unsure on the answers.
First of all, our characters are part of the Wolf Tribe. We were curious to find out if there were any other wolf tribe rpers out there
Secondly, I know there are many that have their miqo'te either not part of a tribe or having moved on to adventuring. I like the tribal (Seekers) and family (Keepers) aspect of the miqo'te and so I have been working with my friend to flesh out our background possibly involving their tribe. He has decided to play a nuhn. One question that arose when reading through some of the lore, is a nuhn's only job to be a breeding male? I would assume that he helps to support the tribe as well, but my friend wondered how being a nuhn would effect being an adventurer. His thoughts were that the nuhn would need to stay with the tribe, considering his role within said tribe. We had the thought of having it a be a large enough tribe that their are possibly two nuhns, which I have read is possible. Perhaps having two nuhns makes it easier for one to go off and do some adventuring? How do those that go with the tribal rp go about explaining their absent from the tribe?
As for myself, I was curious about when a Tia challenges a Nuhn. I have read that if a Nuhn is defeated, if he survives, he becomes a Tia while the other becomes Nuhn. Is it common for one to perish in these challenges? While W'aisha's father was a Nuhn at the time she was born, I didn't figure that he would still be one at this point. I didn't want to kill him off in the Calamity either. Would her father still being alive and being a Tia make sense?
Lastly, as far as romances go, I know that the Keepers are more often likely to form attachments. I don't assume that it is impossible for a Seeker to form similar attachments, but how would they handle such? Mating seems like it would be out of the question unless the Tia decided to venture out on his own and form his own tribe, but from what I have read, that isn't a terribly easy prospect. How do Seekers handle romance?
I know it may seem that I am focusing on a certain part of the Seeker culture that has at times sparked a heated discussion, but it isn't my only focus. I have read a lot of what has been discussed on the forums here and know there is so much more to them. These are just the only areas that I really have any confusions with.
