Innocently insensitive. On her island, she only ever met Hyur from Othard and Roes. When she met her first Miqo, the immediate reaction Virara had was to pull his tail. You can bet that will happen again. Hm but given her background with the domans, she should know of the au ra, so I think it'd just be a case of never met one in person.

Three of my characters are Doman--one actively partnered with/soon-to-be-boning an Au Ra lady--so that automatically removes them from WTF reactions. At most, Chao would finally realize just how bad it is back home, and Seno and Yuuna would wonder what's changed to make them stop hiding. Yuuna also would be ecstatic that Hotaru doesn't have to hide anymore.

Ganale might not even notice for a while, depends on what I get him up to here soon. Either way, he's not like to care much unless they bother him. The only one he's like to even see for any amount of time is that timid archer living in the inn with that other Doman girl.

Tahz would initially be concerned that they're some new Dravanian species but wouldn't care after being told otherwise. Being my goody-goody, he's very accepting of people.

Garon won't care a whit unless there are posted bounties on them. Once he hears of their warrior cul....fuck, I just realized how Mando-esque they are... Irrelevant. He'd keep an ear out for any looking to become bounty hunters and try to get them into Apex.

Ghost himself is a foreigner and already finds the other races than hyur fascinating, so he'd want to know about them. It helps that that genki as fuck girl that's started hanging out with him, with the greatsword bigger than she is, is one of them.

Ember is blind. She won't notice them until she gets to touch them. She'd probably just think the Au Ra males are skinny roegadyns and the female Au Ra are very short midlanders. I imagine she will like the texture of their scales a whole lot so she might be physically harassing many of them. Although I imagine she could accidentally hurt herself trying to hug or nuzzle one by getting stabbed with a horn. That could potentially sour her opinion.

D'aito Kuji is nothing if not intensely curious and adventurous.  I'm certain that she would be very interested in meeting them and learning about them, hear their stories, and take in their cultural differences.  She is very much an ask questions first and shoot later, only if necessary kind of personality.

She might find the male Au Ra somewhat intimidating depending on the circumstances but would be as accommodating as she could possibly be.  The people of Limsa Lominsa, her adopted home, were similarly accommodating when the Miqo'te arrived in numbers (or so she heard).  Her personal experience would bear this out.  She would jump at the chance to be a good host for them.

But as with any marauder/warrior, there's little doubt that she'd also use whatever she learned about them to effectively combat them, if necessary.  But she would very much prefer nothing like that happened.

People who have immigrated from anywhere to somewhere else, if they care to be accepted, typically are rather low-key at first and build up that trust and acceptance. If Au Ra swarm Ul'Dah and just demand people get over it and accept they have horns and scales, lol and good luck.

Yep, I agree! I do have plans for my Au Ra to follow the typical pattern of a clandestine immigrant in a new land. The struggle of the new language, the different landscape and weather (she's a Raen, and Limsa lacks mountain-like areas, so every city will likely have a new, hostile climate for her), the different culture... She will likely struggle to get a job (I'm going to RP several NPCs turning her request down out of distrust), and unless she finds a refuge, she will likely end up in the streets for a while.

Very likely, she will seek the company of her own for a while, and be wary/shy to approach Eorzeans. I'm very excited by all these answers! I think this will make for a very realistic RP, just how I love it!

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.

Yugiri felt the need to cover her face to avoid uproar. That says a lot.

Waiting on having access to 3.0 and being able to talk to some Au Ra before we can say for sure though.

Cris was never great with strangers in the first place. The Au Ra? They look rather like dragons, regardless of what anyone tries to tell him they are.

There'll be a lot of distrust.

Clover will likely be very curious and might stare at them from afar.
K'mih will likely be very scared. Being a secluded tribal miqo'te, she's quite unused to other cultures, even more to one she's never heard of.

As an overview - my decision, head-cannon wise is that there isn't an actual "Sudden" appearance of Au Ra, but rather they've been migrating in since Doma was obliterated, but for the most part have been out-of-sight.

By the time Heavensward hits and the influx of Au Ra characters show up OOC, ICly they've been showing for quite a while and are just being more 'noticed' as a sizable number has shown up by this time, especially among adventurers. 

These are my top four Characters' reactions.

Show Content
Lin Celistine "So these... are my people?"

Lin has lived her entire life as a Hyur, never knowing her true origins as an Auri. Transmorgified at a very young age by powerful magic. There is an event in which a powerful individual forcefully reverses the spell, causing Lin to face her clouded past. This happens right as the Au Ra began to show up among adventurers in force. So Lin is a fish-out-of-water among a race that is hers, but she's never known. 


Show Content
Eric Verus "So more have arrived... what resources do we have for them?"

A former Garlean Military tactician who's last remaining networks are beginning to die out. Eric internally would feel a measure of sympathy for the people whom were crushed under the heel of a nation he once thought he could change for the better. He may work what contacts he has to assist the relief effort, and his normally cold outward demeanor would likely be a slight measure softer when dealing with them.


Show Content
Hyrist Verus"Hey welcome! Y'good at holdin' yer liquor?"

Hyrist, being a former member of the Garlean Military, often does not let on his past. For him, his past is behind him and his future right in front. The Garlean Empire now gone to a level of extremes that have alienated his more open ideals, he feels that the Doman Auri and he in particular have something to share in which they no longer have a country to return to.

He would be his normal outgoing self towards them... which usually means sexual humor, puns, and lots of Alcohol shared.


Show Content
Tashil Nobolo
"Oooh! *Knocks on a horn* Hellooo~ Where are your ears? Where are you from? ... Oh.. mrowl... sorry!"

Tas's childlike innocents shines through. She's never seen an Auri before so she will be abundant with blatant questions that come from complete ignorance of contextual awareness - at least until she touches one of their clothes.

This honestly makes the most sense. And it is something I agree with and will likely be going with as well. 

C'sien will be very curious but a bit hesitant and will wonder if they're void sent of some sort. However she wouldn't treat them badly. She as an adventurer didn't like how Gridanians treated her as an outsider, nor did she like how refugees are treated in Uldah. She's a kind person and dislikes that sort of stuff.

If she saw someone abusing or treating an au ra wrongly she'd step in.

As for my au ra, Dusk has been traveling longer than things blowing up in Othard. She's likely used to racism and she hides herself in heavy armor.

As someone who's (probably) making the switch to Xaela, she'll be amused by the reactions to her, considering she's been back and forth from Eorzea to Othard multiple times over the past few years. About time she can let her hood down and un-tape her tail from her blasted leg.

Siha would be curious and maybe just a bit wary of them at first, but overall I think sympathetic to them losing their home as that's all she'd really know from the beginning. That's about all I can offer without her having met one.

Just purely based on appearance, L'yhta would be rather curious about who and what they are, where they came from, how they got to be how they are, etc. Naturally, she's likely to get more intrigued once she hears some origin stories and will start doing her own independent research. Where that goes from there depends a lot on the lore I assume we'll get in 3.0.
