I honestly prefer the Raen from a stricly strategic RP advantage point. The reason being. with the exception of the Hotgo, the Xaela require a tribe, thus other RPers (or RP NPCs), in order to follow their canon best.
The Raen are instead known to be solitary, with no tribes. This would make it easier for you RP, have your character make sense being alone, and not depend on other RPers or NPCs.
OF COURSE there are ways around it, such as RPing being an exiled, or having lost sight of your tribe, or having it have been annihilated (if you pick this, be either a Hotgo, or a tribe you made up. Don't claim other official tribes to have been slaughtered!), etc. etc. But I kind of expect these excuses to be used a lot (I used one of these for my Dotharl, since I have no RP friends playing Dotharls), since it's difficult to ALWAYS be in the company of fellow tribe members and ALWAYS be online when they do etc. etc., so you have to start with the mindset that your main RP experience as an Au Ra will be an individual one.

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.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
