However, consider that there's no way to represent this in your actual representative avatar. You'd be relying on people examining you, noting your search comment and then acting accordingly.
Generally speaking, you can expect a large number of people you might interact with to just ignore it and treat you like your base species. If that's worth the hassle of having to constantly remind people, and the potential stigma of people just avoiding you (since Au Ra are supposed to be "new" to Eorzea, meaning your parents are also a super rare meeting and romance) then go for it.
I work around this with Edgar by intentionally making his Keeper attributes dominant and the differences brought on by his Seeker blood very subtle, so when the inevitable explanation time comes, I can play it off as them simply not noticing because they were hard to spot to begin with.
This is an acceptable way to skip around it, but it does lend itself to two other potential hang-ups: The first is that you're telling someone their character isn't attentive enough to catch this in the first place, and the second is that if it never comes up, it's a worthless trait in 95% of your RP. That ties back to what someone else said about examining why you'd want to do it in the first place.
Universal "you" in this paragraph, not calling anyone out specifically. I just want to highlight that even the solutions offer potential problems.
I don't think anyone has ever had their character or even OOCly become offended by a potential implication that they may not be attentive in interactions with Edgar. If anything, they seem to roll with it.
