In the DRK questline you find out that au ra got executed in numbers, for just looking like dragons in the eyes of the Ishgardians. WHM questline confirms that au ra really do not have an easy time on Eorzea.

However it is your character after all, but being an Ishgardian citizen as an au ra? That will get most likely a lot of heresy screaming towards you from Ishgardian roleplayers. It is currently the most unbelievable combination in regards of race/citizenship if you ask me, due to well, the execution spree of Ishgard in the past, and their stance towards outsiders.

In any case, good luck with your adventure of finding roleplay! Just wanted to join out that little bit of lore you may have missed out onto to determine if your background is something you want to roll with after people pointing this little bit of lore out!

Doubt that having papers from Doma, or the Doman 'government' would help much in cracking the shell that was Ishgard to let in someone, especially a family that the majority of the populace would view as a threat. I also don't know why I was called 'Ishgardian scum', but.. Eh.

Ishgard was and still kinda is a very secluded, shut-off society. They even shut themselves off from the alliance they had with the people south of Eorzea, and they had much more reason to trust them than someone from a completely foreign body. The only reason their gates are open to outsiders now [ You know, start of Heavensward ] is due to the intervention of the Warrior of Light and a motley crew of adventurers making them realize that they do actually need help with the war against the dragons.

The two Auri you see in Ishgard aren't well received at all, and the main reason they're allowed in, now, is basically due to necessary skills. They weren't just 'inhospitable' in Ishgard--They cry heretic and kill at almost nothing. They've killed 'heretics' who were ranking members of houses well known just because a random citizen pointed them out as having done something minorly heretical.

What I am basically saying, here, as nicely as possible, is that.. You can be a special snowflake all you want, but it'll never make sense to anyone that actually follows the lore of the game, and you'll probably have much more trouble with it than simply saying you're a tactician in training from Othard/Doma, living /anywhere/ other than in Ishgard. I mean, Ul'dah, Gridania, Limsa... Any of those, that's perfectly reasonable. Even having a house hidden on the central side of Coerthas, toward Mor Dhona/Ul'dah would make more sense, if still stretching a bit. The only reason I bothered to make a followup is to make sure you understood what your callous disregard to the two warnings, however awkwardly worded they were, would entail.

Carry on carrying on, and I hope you find someone that accepts your RP.
