I would like to say thank you for all warm welcomes and quick answers. Truly helpful!
I did start in Gridania since I picked Archer.
Perfect this is what I gathered from general browsing and checking out search updates in players windows. I know not everyone will be accepting which is why I will always ask before just doing (which is the proper way lol).
Yeah I used that at the start...well sort of at the start. I first made my normal name, did a bit of research and was like 'well his name has too many syllables' and now I'm using Dayst Kaydrah. He still has a tribal name but it's a bit different since his father is a seeker.
Like I mentioned above my character is currently IG listed as Dayst Kaydrah. His full name is D'asha 'Dayst' Kaydrah. I personally liked the idea of having a mix breed so I picked his father to be a seeker and his mother a keeper. Growing up as a keeper and so on. He sort of uses his tribal name to create his new name.
Though I did think of another rather noobish question since I haven't actually ever done it before...but how do you go about making a character profile on the wiki? I'm logged into it but unsure of how to navigate.

My own roleplay group has several unique Miqo'te clans and tribes and societies .
Most people that like to roleplay in my experience are pretty open minded. Groups that are against LGBT are the rarity, usually, does not mean that every character is interested in pursuing that kind of relationship however. Although I do also know a lot of homosexual manqo'te. It's just a thing within the group. Each group will have their own style and themes so it takes making a connection and talking to people to really know a group.

I'm not sure if this will help you, because you stated you're not interested in playing on the whole tribal aspect of your chosen race, but I used this site to help me name my characters.
Hope it helps! If not, that's ok too

Inarah, for example, isn't in a tribe anymore yet still has her tribal name and many of her old tribal values and beliefs influence her present behaviour. Whilst she will answer to "J'inarah Marad", she always introduces herself as just "Inarah". I have also met others who don't follow the naming conventions at all and it's not a problem so, really, whatever works for your character and his background should be fine.
