1. Do you have a group of players you normally roleplay with (a "core group")? If so, then they're the ones you need to convince first, because they're the ones who are probably the most important to you. Have a personal chat with each of them and figure out if they have objections, and if they do, see what understanding you can come to together. If they all are game to play along with whatever you have in mind, then...
2. Outside of your normal group, are there a lot of other players whose characters you've interacted with to any great extent? If no, then you're good to go, because the change won't really impact anybody else besides the core group anyways if that's the case. If yes, though, then...
3. Of those not in your core group who you identified that you've had a lot of exposure to when considering #2, do you care if any of those players were to decide to stop doing RP with you based on what you decide to do? If no, then you're good to go, because if they don't like it then oh well for them. If yes, then you'll want to treat those players as if they're effectively a part of your core group, in which case you probably want to have a personal chat with them and make sure it isn't going to cause problems.
As far as anybody else not addressed by the above - such as me, for example... My character hasn't met yours anyway, so a change you might make will have no impact. She was Elezen all along? Well, I won't ever have met her prior to her being Elezen, so... no problem there at all, yeah?Â
In other words, if the questions 1, 2, and 3 don't identify somebody as someone whose opinion should matter, then their opinion doesn't matter.
Well I guess I don't have THAT much worry about with these criteria. The handful I've rp'd with already have tasted both flavors really so transitioning isn't going to be too much a hassle.Â
Then again there's this whole upcoming expedition thing so I may have to wait until after that. And after Chachan does his smithing magic for a personal commission.Â
It's not like I've set it in stone that I wanna be Elezen just throwing it out there. Especially since I have quite the French surname. So again the future patches might throw something that'd turn all this belly up and force me to be Wildwood. And again I want to try and stick to that forced change and the people I've met with, soon to meet.
Question though. Would it be wise to preempt it? Be elezen before I get screwed over. (If I do end up feeling like I wanna be elezen)
