That was extremely helpful insight, Eva, thank you. I understand all the points that have been made so far and believe me, I have listened with open ears and will continue to take them into consideration.
I'm not saying I'm terrified of breaking lore by strictly adhering to it, what I wanted to accomplish here is to have a more well rounded character that has actual roots in a Tribal setting with his particular Miqo'te clan, rather than being raised in a city state. As Aysun had mentioned about the Miqo'te tribal habits, I have taken some liberty there and organized a type of community that may or may not have been feasible in current time or in the past, with many tribes coming together to make one community and mating outside of their respected clans. Also the fact that a Tribal leader is basically like a monarchy, the job passes to the next male heir, females not being allowed to be tribal leaders.
Everything I have posted here is just back story and it's not too terribly in depth. I'm not trying to cater to the people here, to make my character what everyone else will like. I think in the past I've been too focused on back stories of my characters because I write often and I write a lot. My focus now is to have this back story as a basis, but focus more on the here and now.
I have the basic biography for Caden, but I don't know him on a more personal level. Like what kind of quips or quirks he might have, favored actions, speech patterns, whether or not he speaks with a heavy accent and things of that nature.
I just want to be comfortable in my character and so far, I haven't been. That's why I'm going in a different direction, while still keeping most of what I had created for Isaac.
It's worth noting that I do love Ailith as a character, her story hasn't changed from what I had originally created for her, but I feel a little awkward roll playing a female character. So if I don't like this rendition of a male character, then I do have Ailith to fall back onto and will continue on with her.
Again, thank you for the insight and tips. And don't worry about offending me, that's hard to do. Especially after the Eternal Darkness debacle. lol I understand these are all suggestions and I know I won't like them all, but I do listen to each of them.
