Just because they're large doesn't mean they're right, nor do they represent any sort of "fanon consensus" that other RPers follow or feel that other players must, or should, follow. We're all very laid-back here in practice; there's no illusory high council running around, and you can be sure that I'd be laying into people making such claims of authority at every turn if there were.We the K Tribe play with the fact that, as stated officially unless I'm mistaken, every tribe might have different habits and views. For example, it seems some of them are more permissive with their members having close relationships with Keepers, while others might forbid it. Since each big tribe has tons of subtribes, we have plenty of room to play one of them and decide our own rules, which we've tried to stick to the lore whenever it was possible. As a lore follower, I must say I'm very proud of how this tribe is turning out (*-*)

But I digress. What I want to say is that, as you well stated, no tribe is more correct than the other, since the lore itself allows for tribes to differ on some matters. The lore simply gives us some basic concepts that are common to all: naming system, mating system, where we came from.

The gradual discovery of how my character might approach a racial connection, whether or not he can deal with being a possible pariah in the Miqo'te community as well as discovering who he is or even if he really wants to know why. I guess it's all up to the linkshell leader and willing participants who wish to accept this kind of character arc within their own personal RP community.I fail so much (especially in English discussions) and haven't quite understood your idea, so please forgive me if I got it completely wrong. You mean that, initially, your Miqo'te has no idea of the existence of Miqo'te tribes, which are actually his roots. He might come in contact with them as the story develops, receiving a cultural shock (?)
Â
If that's the case, you can count on my Miqo'te character! I'm certain that she'd be interested in any "lost" Miqo'te; she might even try to convince your character to embrace his "true nature" (as she'd call it). If I got it wrong, I apologize *sweatdrops*.
Â
Just a side note, there are many non-tribal Miqo'tes around the world, so your character wouldn't be alone in his non tribal-ness (sorry for making words up).
