I played a miqo'te originally. When I levelled through Coerthas I decided I really liked the lore there. I had been itching to make an elezen but never worked up the motivation until that point.
Elezen proportions weirded me out for a while but I got used to it. |

My first inclination in 1.0 was to play a Midlander, but once in the game, they all looked too svelte to my liking and wouldn't have fit the type of character I was going for. Highlander, with their Cro-Magnon features (sorry) wouldn't have fit either, so I sort of defaulted to Elezen when I rolled up Teveriel. I immediately fell in love with Elezen lore, particularly Ishgard, and the rest is history.

Tiergan was going to be a highlander.
Then I couldn't give him eyebrows. Though I sometimes have moments of extreme regret every time a highlander takes off his shirt and reveals muscles that Tiergan's in-game avatar will never have. ;A; |

The only two races I like for males are Miqo'te and Elezen, so Nox started off as a Miqo'te who sometimes glamours as an Elezen, but I felt like I couldn't play him properly as an Elezen because I personally always felt like he has to talk eloquently as an Elezen. There his glamour prism uh, broke, and he hasn't used that illusion ever since. Although he can still cast it, but he can't keep it up for a very long time without the prism.

Because I started my mmo life as a human in NWN and refined it to a Barbarian in EQ.... and I never looked back.

Because the cutest. I like Roes quite a bit too, but not picking Lala for my main would just be against my principles. Maybe a temporary trip to the land of beef if SE ever feels like throwing another free Fantasia at me.

I picked a Roegadyn for a few reasons.
Part of it comes from the fact I can never make a Midlander as good looking as the cut scene fellow and that breaks my heart. My work with a Highlander doesn't seem ever do be as good as I want. ((Well most of it is not being able to make in my opinion... a "good" looking of the various races.)) However, the larger fact is I very much enjoyed the Charr and Aman of GW2 and TERA respectively. No offense to the Miqo'te present, but the way a majority of Miqo'te I see RPed and designed lack the.... Civilized (to a point) beast aspect of the Charr especially. Roegadyn seemed to capture that better than any of the other races even if I don't RP them very barbarically. There are other reasons for Roegadyn, but I shall leave them for your imagination. |

I looked at the lore for whatever race would fit Val's personality, as it's a character I've had before, and landed on Miqo'te. I didn't want to be one of the multiple "Lol I'm a Nunh so I'm a manwhore" people, so I changed it up and said he got kicked out of his tribe because of how he was acting and due to the fact that he didn't take his job serious.

Well... let's see....
For some reason, I always imagined Eleni as a Miqo'te, and a Seeker at that too. Of course, that was when I had just seen the races aesthetically and had no idea about the lore at all! So, then I read the lore and the Seeker lore did freak me out a bit because well... harems? Desperate female Seekers (at least that's the image I got... ![]() But, by then I had become so used to imagining Eleni as a Seeker, I had to think of some backstory that would save her from this tribal lifestyle. So, I came up with her backstory (with valuable input from the forums here, and you guys, thankies everyone :3) and then she was a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te! ![]() |
