Many with a decent level of education (admittedly a rare thing there and in eorzea) would have heard tales of the Auri but never saw one, just as in real life from that time people would have heard tales of europeans (in asia) or the reverse but had never seen someone of that group.
I have a feeling the way it was set up in the 2.3/4 quests there will be some lore based ic racism and that many rpers will take it and run. That said I am willing to bet Erik will react positivally with the first one he meets, may even become protective of them.
It was an amusing mental image of a incredibly burly au ra male cowering behind Erik while a Lala was screaming at him.
Someone should draw that.

We are at as much of a loss as you are on the subject. There's not much to work with at the moment. Perhaps once we get naming conventions later next month! Your best bet is the Benchmark character creator and official websites.
