I haven't read much about there being any hostility or distaste between the two clans, but does anyone plan to throw that into their miqo'te's behavior? Or at least maybe play off some stigmas that may exist between the two clans?
To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing, really, between the two clans since traditionally they don't interact due to differing activity schedules. That said, there's bound to be some significant culture clash between them, as Keepers are strongly matriarchal and Seekers are strongly patriarchal (though there're some interesting alternative interpretations on the Seekers). However, I think this would mostly come out among those who are more traditional culturally.
My Seeker, for instance, is actually positively inclined towards Keepers because, well, they're miqo'te, and miqo'te all have a certain degree of common ground in a world that tends to hypersexualize the women of their race. That said, she's not really a fan of their culture, either.
EDIT: @AFriendOfAFriend: Thanks for that info!
I'd never heard that usage of the term before. In my experiences, "hard RP" was used to refer to RP where there's a risk of character injury or death -- sometimes as a consequence of your actions, sometimes as a result of others' actions -- and you consent to that by participating. A "hard RP group" would be one where everyone always automatically consents to every action.Aaand if that sounds familiar, now you know I played MUSHes for a while.
