Character-as-intrinsic isn't often seen as being as important as character-as-construct in which your character would not be in the same vein based on their origins. See my earlier post in the thread.
Edit:Â Annnnd I just realized this is another thread entirely. All right, let me stretch this a bit.
The thing of it is, if the character is going to be the same no matter what, why bother making him any of these things? If they have no impact on the character, what purpose is there in including them? If your character can be condensed down to a single personality type, then playing the essence of that personality type is character enough.
However, I gather that would be unsatisfactory in some form. Otherwise, why didn't you do it?
because the roleplay in and of itself would be different. Taking Kale as an example. If he had been from Ishgard, he would most likely have been an Elezen/midlander, Xenophobic, maybe a dragoon (little d).Â
That changes the way that the character would interact with others, beyond just his base personality.
And I'm suggesting that his "base" personality is changed far more significantly by what he is than what he claims.
