Jana's threatened a Nunh with killing him for his women before. Maybe I ought to make her act on those kinds of impulses.
Edit: What just happened to my quote, ok fixed it.
well, given that the tribe fizzled out, she doesn't actually have any women lol
basically, my character concept includes her having a pretty complicated relationship with her own culture. It's been stated in lore I believe that splinter tribes formed when a tia convinces women to leave with him so he can become a nunh (rather than defeated the nunh of the original tribe) are very rare and don't generally last. Without going into details (though I may open a thread in character workshop later) she came from one such short lasted splinter tribe and was given a very negative perspective on seeker tribes. So the Nunh thing is partly a purposeful lashing out at seeker tribe culture, and partly emotional defense mechanism/self justification.

yeah I can understand that. In fact, that's why I thought making this type of character would be interesting. I'm not really good at walkup rp, but I figure someone giving my character crap for claiming something they can't or otherwise aren't would be a good conversation starter. And it would be interesting too to see which players might allow their characters to go along with it (for my miqo'te idea for example, someone form say Ishgard might have no experience with miqo'te tribes and therefore would take her for her word whereas another seeker who is actually part of a tribe might pick a fight over it)
for something like the au ra pretending at padjal.. well, I thought it up on the spot to give examples, but I suspect she would get run out of gridania quite quickly, and laughed out of most other places. Which could be interesting on its own, the idea of a down-on-her-luck conwoman who just can't make a believable ploy ("okay okay, I'm not a padjal. But I AM a messenger sent by the twelve themselves to gift Eorzeans with these protective charms of legend, for but a small f-" "NO.")
The gist of things though, is that as long as I OOC make it abundantly clear I'm not actually playing whatever lore breaking thing my character claims, and as long as I keep IC confrontations IC, I should be okay from most OOC complaints?
