@Faye True, true. It is rough, though I'm mostly asking to gauge just how often people have something to say about other players that have plots/origins they don't particularly like or are tired of seeing. It's been a really long time since I played on Balmung. I wrote a Miqo'te lancer for a while who had the dream of becoming a Dragoon, and luckily I never really got shit for it... but I had someone else in our very same guild who was a Miqo DRG and every time she was offline, people would talk crap about it... it was kind of discouraging. But granted, she had other issues that made her less than popular in the guild that I don't even remember (some drama between her and a few other members...? IDEK?) What is the KISS method, though, might I ask?
@Chris I dig this a lot. I haven't been on in a while so I haven't seen any characters from Doma yet, but I can see where this is far more canon-friendly. That's actually a really cool idea to play with. I also dig the idea of a Tia who just got tired of the Tia life, haha~ I don't blame the guy one bit.
@Madda I wish I could +Like posts or something. I feel this hardcore. I think that's my biggest drive for wanting to write a Hyur-raised Miqo, simply because for the sake of plot, I really don't care to make a character that has an inherently typical Seeker upbringing, the character I have in mind is just not one it'd work with, she's too impulsive and jealous, and I think she'd have been utterly miserable as a Seeker female growing up in the harem. Granted, I could just have her be a catgirl who ran away from the life. But I'm also kind of tired of Eorzea in general and more interested in having her come from a fanmade place "across the sea" that doesn't play a very confining or distracting role in how I play her present life. I think that, while Miqo'te tribal lore is fascinating and in-depth, it just isn't for everyone and can be a little confining, especially in naming conventions.Â
@Zhavi I could be making it a little more than it should be, but it's still nice to talk about. Like, yeah you are right that a kid from Korea adopted into a US-centric family would act like a US citizen, no doubt. There are people who don't give a fuck about birth families, some who do, etc. I'm mostly asking to see how much shit I'd get for making a character who didn't fall into lore structure to a tee. But you also make a good point that I think I really needed to see/hear -- "No matter what you do, there's going to be someone who doesn't like it, so you might as well just do it."
