In my intro post I mentioned that I've been working on a lalafell character. He was the very first semblance of an oc that I've thought up while acquainting myself with the game's lore. Their race immediately caught my attention and when I got in beta phase 3 (and ofc spent hours in the character creator) I slowly built him up. I even went ahead and drew up character sheets for him complete with expressions, just to get to know him a bit more. He was pretty much set to be rp'd at that point and... I don't know why exactly but I wanted to try out a different race last week and it only took that new character a couple of hours to grow on me. Most of the ideas I had for my lalafell got transferred to this new guy instead. XD
Point is, being meticulous with your character can't be helped as we naturally want a good, solid character to roleplay as well as something we're comfortable in and if you really aren't feeling that miqo'te vibe for your character then go ahead with the necessary adjustments. If you are just bothered by how many miqo'tes there are at present, think of it this way--the things you have in common is just race and maybe appearance too, but peel those outer layers away to reveal that each one is quite different. Choosing to be one won't make your character any less original. :]
