Oh wow, thank you so much! I wasn't expecting such a long detailed response and I greatly appreciate it! Hmm, So, my character being born in Namai in Yanxia is totally possible then? Perhaps born in Namai, but his biological parents were killed by Garleans and the Sharlayan couple who wanted to stay and collect as much data as possible on the region, witness the murder and adopts my character. They decide to flee from Othard and live out what time is remaining (approx. 8 years) at the Sharlayan colony in Eorzea before the exodus, but instead of going back to the Homeland they stay behind and relocate to the Black Shroud. Yes, I think this could work! Any thoughts on this scenario? Also, I agree with what you said Sounsyy about astrology, I was only trying to make my character "special" in some way, but instead I will forgo this and instead he has a natural ability for astrology and thanks to intense training from his adopted father he is able to hone his skill. Yes, I think that will work. Any additional thoughts or comments are welcomed! Thanks again for a timely response and so detailed!

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to RPing on FFXIV but I've been working on my character and trying to stay within lore and such. I have what I consider a pretty fleshed out timeline of events and history for my character, but after getting some feedback from others they have some nitpicking issues that are eating away at me and I'd like some suggestions or feedback that I could possibly alter to accommodate the lore more accurately. First off, my Raen Au Ra is adopted by Sharlayans that are in Othard on a survey mission in the year 1549 which is under Garlean oppression at this time. So, I'm not sure if they would even be in Othard? What other reasons could bring them there? I'm trying to place my character's adoptive parents within Othard, as I think Raen Auri are only found within this region? Also, my character is part of one of the few still remaining Raen tribes in Othard. I've placed them living a secluded life in the mountainous areas of the region, is this possible? I know that Raen acclimated to Doman culture, but surely not all Raen tribes forfeit their own culture? Thoughts on this would be appreciated as well. Finally, I'm wanting to imbue my character with the celestial aether from the Heaven of Water, a love child of Thaliak and Nymeia if possible? I also realize that most Domans I know don't seem to worship the 12, but rather the Kami. So, I was wondering how I could incorporate this, if at all? This gives him an innate ability for astrology and also allows him to sees snippets into the future, or the ability of foresight. I'm not wanting to confuse this with the Echo at all, and I'm not trying to make him OP or anything, I just want to make him feel attuned to the astrologian job more, if that makes sense? I appreciate any time and effort anyone can offer! Thank you.
