I don't see the point in creating a character when we know next to nothing about them. At best people will need to make major changes as fresh lore trickles in. At worst they'll be off doing their own thing and dampen the impact of this strange and mysterious race arriving during their official debut.
With that said, I'm not entirely sure that I'll make one. I like their design and their lore may intrigue me but much like Miqo'te it's likely that there's just going to be too many. When the initial hype has died down I may invest in one but as it stands I'm pretty happy with what my current character brings to the table...and Heavensward will allow him to progress further along with his personal storyline.
