The tribal life he experienced is just to drastically different from the United States. In particular, questions relating to jobs and education. There really is no 'firing' a hunter, or really anyone in a tribe that's nomadic. Currency in general wouldn't really have been used much, more likely it would have been bartering. Education would have been largely non-existent as well, and while I could have answered those questions as no, I feel the difference in worlds isn't adequately reflected by just saying Eorzea instead of United States. On top of that, simply choosing not to answer those questions skews the results. There are now less opportunities to take a step back, or a step forward while still using the same scale.
Interesting, but to really get a better picture of privilege in Eorzea, the questions would need to be more tailored to world we play in, too much is different to leave the questions as they are.
All right, if there is interest I'll take the time and rewrite the questions in the way I interpreted them for my characters. I had just put the original questions there because I wanted others to be free to choose their own interpretation, but I feel this is being an issue, so I'll work on it. Stand by~
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
