Hm! Well, you see. I am totally useless at giving alts all the love and attention they deserve, but that does not stop me from constantly developing new stories and changing my characters like I change my clothes (which is a lot.) @_@ It's dizzying, really.
I have made designs and concepts for all the races, all of which I've liked and been ecstatic to try. All of the races, I think, have very intriguing lore and cultures - plenty to work with for role-play fun and collaboration with others.Â
Then why have most of my characters turned out to be Miqo'te? I just really don't like the customization and sliders of the other races. So I suppose you could call me shallow! While the concepts for Hyur or Elezen or what-have-you may have enthralled me, if I don't enjoy how my character looks and behaves physically in game, I just... don't want to play them. It really comes down to that. If others pay it no mind, or love how their characters turn out after customization, then koodos! Great work. I'm happy for you! But my happiness was found in Miqo'te.Â
Having said that, I consistently seem to be drawn back again and again to the concept of an "escort." Not that kind of escort! A spunky, cocky, brawn-over-brains hired-muscle brat (mostly influenced by Kunoichi from Samurai Warriors, although confessedly any small girl that's lethal with a blade makes my heart throb), and I was really leaning towards a ninja-esque character for FFXIV (especially with the class being released). However, I just couldn't seem to develop someone I would like to play with the races and lore provided to me. It just didn't sit well. Until the release of the Au'Ra! And the rest, as they say, is history. >:3 Though she is more a ninja by action than name, and is less and less a combatant than when I first began her.
I will also never stop loving Miqo'te, because, cats. @_@ And I will likely roll a Highlander looter someday to appease the little Scotslady in me.
