Let me first state that irl I am an Irish-scottish cracker with redhead roots; and I play dark-skinned characters because I love the skin tone, chocolate brown, sienna, dark gray (Taijha on Balmung).. pretty much every character I have ever made in the last 7 years has been a dark colour.
So with that said, it tends to affect my characters ICly as well, though she won't go out of her way to not get involved with lighter skinned characters, but she does tend to like the dark ones better.
As for actual interracial realtionships with my character (skin tone doesnt make you a different race if you're both human), K'anika was raised by pirates, so if theres any sort of inbred bias among Sunkeepers against interbreeding, she lacks it. Taijha on the otherhand prefers her own kind for mating matters, though she has no problem flirting and dallying with others for fun.
