Thanks for the reply! I'm pretty attached to the Au Ra race (admittedly for mainly cosmetic reasons), but I don't see a lore section entry for them. As a bit of a follow up, I'm wondering if it would be a totally cheap route to go if I were to diverge from the typical background and personality in favor of a more free spirited vagrant variation. My plan was to make a philosophical character that has developed their own personal outlook on the world and play into that as a means to develop something unique that doesn't require any hard-wired archetype characteristics.
Again, appreciate the input! I'll definitely use your advice while I start doing a bit of skimming to acclimate myself.
Well there is quite a bit of wiggle room for that I would say. The main things I would say you should consider is
- Were they a part of a tribe? You can find more about the tribes in the naming policy here, and if so which one, and if not then why not.
- How and how recently did they get from Othard (original region) to Eorzea - if for example they arrived about a year ago, they may have adjusted some to the culture and language.
For being a free spirited vagrant type, I could easily see them having abandoned the tribal lifestyle either before or after coming to eorzea, and dealing with the consequences of that kind of choice ^^
Feel free to prod me anytime for RP or just a chatter ^^
