I have spoken with Kari and Teardrop recently along various channels and figured I could create this thread (as kind of an offshoot from this one to serve a couple different purposes:
First, I wanted to put all this information in one place and solicit additional information pertaining to Duskwight Elezen culture that I may have overlooked. Â If more information is presented to us, I'll be glad to amend this post so that everything is neatly provided. Â Perhaps others may do something like this for the other race/clans - I know there are already a dozen or so discussion threads about miqo'te culture. Â Duskwight culture and how RPers approach it has been something that has interested me since the game's launch. Â Which segues me into the primary purpose for creating this thread.
There isn't a great deal of information provided about duskwight culture. Â From talking to NPC's in 1.0 and Beta we have been able to glean a little information. Â For instance, the "Greys/Greens" remarks are meant to be somewhat insulting or condescending in-character. Â I don't think a duskwight would normally regard another duskwight as a 'Grey' - unless maybe jibing. Â From all that I have seen it is usually a member of one clan mocking the other.
We have not been given much in the way of settlements or back history to work with, and I know many RPers have sort of pieced together their own backstories/ancestry with what little information we do have.
So I think the primary thing I am wondering (and I will bolden for emphasis) is directed specifically towards those who are RPing duskwight characters:
What sort of background does your duskwight character have?
Between RP in 1.0 and Beta so far and just reading through some of the wonderful stories posted here it seems like there are a lot of great ideas and, while some artistic liberties may have been taken - mostly out of necessity - it makes for a richly woven tapestry of stories and adds depth to the race, I think. Â I've had experiences with maybe a half dozen duskwight characters, all with varying and unique backgrounds and I love that! Â I just kind of wanted to start up a discussion amongst that subset of the community that plays duskwight characters and get some additional perspectives.
So, please comment away with what your duskwight character's background is like and maybe we can all kind of compare notes and gain some additional perspective!
