I originally came into the game thinking of playing a male lalafell merchant but upon reading up on the lore of the Keepers I became very tempted to make a Miqo'te male who is struggling with his life without his clan. I still roleplay m keeper male as traditional - he respects women, lets them take lead if they do so and knows when to be quiet. He has a sor tof hate for the clanless miqo'te which seem to be in abundance and loves his family beyond compare.
I wanted to play a keeper because by lore standards their concept of greed, thier religion and their family groups sounded interesting to me as an anthropologist.
Ironically, I have not met many miqo'te who roleplay their miqo'te as well, miqote. Most of them roleplay their miqo'te as: "I was adopted by a X race" or "I left my clan for X reason" where in a society that is so structured as it is, it would be VERY VERY outlandish to leave your clan - other clans would probably look down on you for abandoning your family.
I can relate a bit with you Naih : I'm a girl IRL, playing a Miqo'te male, which has a Family, take care of it as he's suppose to do, he is usualy quiet and respect females.
I picked up Miqo'te in the first place because there are not so many races that can have blue skin and normal proportions. Roe.. No, not me at all.. And Elezen was just not possible, I just can't stand their tiny head.
Then, well, I'm a girl and Keeper Lore.. That attract me I may say ? Maybe like Naih, HELL YEAH GIRL POWER ! (Hey wait a minute, WHY THE HELL DO I PLAY A MALE ! *hum*).
And I have to add that I love the male miqo'te /sit. Yep. Addicted to it.
I think most of RPer has a reason related to his RP. Question could be asked to people that doesn't RP, answers will probably be interesting.
