(Ahhh, thank you. <3) In that case, you could still utilize both character concepts?
I usually have one main character, one alt I play more than the rest, and a merry band of others that I mess around with whenever the mood strikes me. I have the issue of coming up with a ton of concepts and I have a hard time narrowing the pack down to just one or two characters.
My Roe might fit 'big and muscular scholar' a bit, haha. I went for a DoM heavy Hellsguard and chose to make her native/non-cityborn so she'd still have that mystical feeling that surrounds their lore. Yet after coming down from Abalathia and adventuring for over a decade, she's also well-adapted to the city at this point in her life. She's a researcher/expeditionist type and very gung-ho about what she does. I'm still working it out because I fear it's not very original, but that's the groundwork of it.
Yeah the idea was that the "main" would be decided by these two concepts and the other one would pop in Gilgamesh as an alt.
Honestly while that concept isn't that original (like you stated) I feel it's quite interesting nonetheless. A brave scholar type, a Roegadyn "Indiana Jones"-like character who isn't afraid to go to crazy expeditions in Eorzea sounds like a blast to RP as and with so I can see what you mean! You will be playing in Balmung yes?
Yep, I'm going with Balmung as my primary server of the two.
I don't think she'll be Indiana Jones-level epic, but then again she did grow up on a volcano. I'm still trying to think of some twist that meshes well, or a different concept that's also fitting. Although I may just ride with it because it's true that being a Roegadyn already makes her stand out from similar characters.
