Thank you! It's really comforting to have a second opinion on the back story and I really appreciate your comments. I didn't want to make his background too complex but I am glad it is still able to be followed well. Whereas I like the character to be interesting, I didn't want it to be too over the top.
I understand what you mean about the Retcon. Yes there will be minor edits to fit in with a few things. I've been considering either in join in the Hipparion which has been forming on this forum or wither he still leaves but either his (or his brother's) is somehow entwined in their history, even if it's a minor part.
I hope to interact with your character someday and you can get to meet my wee fella someday in the game and experience his inquisitive nature.

Feels he doesn't deserve the name because he was forced out or left on his own because he felt unworthy? Decided he was something more or better than what the name "tia" represented? There's an interesting spot to add to your backstory and personality there.
Thanks for the feedback. I have actually been discussing this tonight with my friends. What we had come up with is that Seto, when leaving the tribe (should this still happen) had been watching the other races, especially the Hyur. He doesn't understand the naming convention but notices they all have individual last names. I believe he changes it to be more individual and accessible to the other races.
I thought about being opposed to tribal culture as that's what his brother attempted to teach him, but I also didn’t want him to have the same feelings as Hikaru so I decided to rule that out. I think once I figure out in the upcoming days to his current history I'll be able to make a final decision on that. But you have given me some ideas. I really like the last one about his last name representing individuality instead of the use of Tia.
And in regards to Callipygian's thread, I didn't mean to make it sound like I would follow it as Lore, but it gave me food for thought. When I meant answer my questions, I meant that maybe someone suggested this type of thing and then there was a discussion if users felt such a subject was feasible. I understand these are not Lore setters and just theories, but those same theories, like the ones in this thread, help us to find someone that could be realistic to a user base, even if it's not everyone.

The only thing I would point out is that, in Miqo'te tribal societies, the nunh are not traditionally the leaders. They are just the guys that get to have children. So it wouldn't be a nunh who allows Seto and his mother to join the Vulture tribe, but whatever Miqo'te was their chief (or chiefs, if its a council of sorts).
I had not remembered this on my first reading! Thanks for pointing it out. I remember reading the nunhs are not leaders but I didn’t realize I had made that mistaken, evne when reading my back-story. I been reworking the history any way so in Seto's events, I have not mentioned this in the history section. As I am unaware if my boyfriend will still play Hikaru or if he will end up as a NPC or fade away in nothing, that's for my boyfriend and I to figure out. But once Seto's history is corrected, I will make the necessary adjustments to reflect this in Hikaru's. Thank you again for pointing it out.
Thank you guys for your feedback, I really appreciate all the help. :3
