I'll wait until we see Au Ra name convention before making a character. Fantasia can't erase names and it's been a pet-peeve of mine that people who, say, rolled Elezen decided they wanted to be catbutts instead and kept the name.

As much as Yugiri claims to be the first Au Ra in Eorzea, we shouldn't forget that Columbus did much of the same, while now we know that vikings did see the Americas long before him. I wouldn't call it a stretch to theorize that maybe some Au Ras did get here in the past, and maybe just were never heard of on a big scale. People travel, and always have.
As for my own questions about the race, I'm mostly wondering about their age spans. Dragons by stereotype live for centuries, and I admit I'd be very intrigued to RP a secular character...  Right now I'm playing with the idea of making a DRK Au Ra who hunts down Dragoons to protect dragons and dravanians XD A nice alter ego to my strict Ishgardian Wildwood. To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.

I don't know what an Au Ra is but I googled it and it's a tablet for reading.
My character will buy one and read her favorite books.

I'll wait to physically meet the Au Ra before deciding whether to change race or not. If my liking, my character may die and be reborn into a Au Ra, but with the same name and same personality.

Depends for me. I may change some of my characters to an Au Ra and start from scratch (actually waiting for the lore for some of my characters to decide on whether or not I change them/make them as an Au Ra) or just stick to the race I gave them.
Either way, I'm definitely making an Au Ra character alone and will make some of my current characters Au Ra if it's suiting.

So, I was thinking about all the folks suddenly either making Au Ra or having one of their characters change into one. And I was reminded of something. I couldn't find the actual clip, so enjoy the next best thing - a TF2 recreation:

Let's bump this, now that we know the Au Ra clans: Raen and Xaela. Raen (the ones with a more human-like complexion) have Japanese-like names (so like Yugiri and the ninjas), while we don't know much about the Xaela (the ones with Duskwight-like complexion).
Damn, I prefer the Raen by looks, but I hate the names they use. Let's just hope Xaela Au Ra can have normal skin.

To be exact, here's what was said on the forums: "Au Ra Raen and Au Ra Xaela. Au Ra Raen have been closely related to the Domans for long time, so their names are somewhat Japanese-like. The Xaela on the other hand have led a nomadic lifestyle for some time, and they have a unique naming convention." So that's a little info to start concept-crafting!
