I went with something that would at least somewhat make my character as unaware of the world state as I am (being new and all). I chose Hyur. Highlander because it best resembles me physically over Midlander. A few weeks later I met Sin via this board who really helped me flesh out what I like to think is a pretty badass backstory.
Ala Mhigan loses his home when he's just a kid, becomes a refugee. Stops an altercation between his father and a man he owed money to, goes overboard and kills said man (whose money was aligned with Syndicate), ends up a prisoner/ asset in the pits for 15 years. From Ala Mhigan to refugee to prisoner; just feels more sensible when I RP and people bring up stuff I haven't heard of OOC (like famous RP events, summer faire, etc) and so have to incorporate that ignorance IC.
