After playing FFXIV for a while, I got interested in the Ishgardian lot. From how xenophobic, religious, and outright dickish they were, to how loyal they could be to outsiders when befriending them, I simply loved them. And on top of that, elves? Sign me up.
As well I wanted to on the side of the more evil type of characters for a change, and with a loyal Ishgardian that was easy enough. Not questioning leadership, easily being fed lies by the Church, irrational, prideful, and would throw anyone into the abyss if they did something with dragons? Yeah. I wanted to be the average Ishgardian dick you see in your questline. The one who calls you an unbeliever, the one who would go scream heresy in your face, the one who would push you off cliffs in to please some goddess, the one who backstabs you in the name of the nation.
I didn't want to be the Haurchefant, the Aymeric ect. No, I wanted to be your average Ishgardian elezen asshole NPC you meet in the questlines. And god I love being evil, narrow-minded, over religious, hypocritical in roleplay, because they are the very things I despise in real life.
And I love magic. So she had to be a magic user!
