Reading all of this, I feel like I'm the odd person out. Â I play a Miqo'te from the Southern Sagolii who longed for wealth and adventure. Â They stowed away in a merchants wagon, made it to the coast and got aboard a ship bound for parts unknown. Â They arrived in Limsa Lominsa and that became their adopted home.
My Miqo'te is just an ordinary Miqo'te, not biracial, not especially magical, not especially smart, not especially attractive, and not particularly skilled at anything other than melee fighting. Â I did send them down the Marauder path and justified it, in my mind, by deciding that the only thing unusual about them was above average strength (that strength being physical or magical - doesn't matter to them or me).
They are basically just a good, earnest, friendly character who likes to meet people, make deals, and fight whenever they are given a chance.
In the past, I have made characters that stretched the lore (not so much in this game as Miqo'te lore is honestly all I can handle) but I deliberately wanted to make my character plain but honest, average but affable, common but reliable.
But I can see things from everyone's point of view in this thread. Â But I do sometimes feel like I'm the only one playing straight (so to speak), but I really don't mind. Â It's probably good that my character is weirded out by all the diversity in people, culture, and behavior.
