From months ago I knew I was going to make my main a Roegadyn female (as you can see from my avatar picture).
I'm a big fan of Norse lore (being a heathen myself) and they really appealed to me, being based of Frost and Fire giants. They also represented (like the Highlanders do) a really 'western' representation to the world of Eorzea, which I think results in a more interesting mix of races.
So it doesn't matter that they are under represented by the vast majority of players because this is an RP community which results in much more interesting characters regardless. Also, it makes your character far more likely to stand out.
