This is just my take on this, but... Key word, there: Usually There is no such thing as a lore-breaking name, just a typical way within the lore of naming people for each species. That said, try and give a reason for a differentiation. Maybe your character is a Miqo'te and is like mine, Edgar, who was raised by Hyur. Maybe your character is a Roegadyn that grew up alone and had parents who died before giving a name. Maybe your character and their family didn't give a crap for conventional naming. If the reasoning is good, most people won't take issue. And the people that do, I wouldn't bother roleplaying with.

Hello, and welcome to the community!

Well, you're half correct.

In my opinion if any manner of conflict were to arise between the dragons and Elementals, it would be more likely rooted in possible apathy toward the well-being of the Shroud by the dragons than conscious ill will. While I don't see anything to suggest dragons have any desire to lash out at the Elementals, I also don't see them caring enough to tip-toe through the Shroud should they ever find themselves there. But again that's just speculation, and in practice it would likely vary depending on the specific dragon and what they're doing. I think, actually, that characterizing it as "tiptoeing" would be incorrect, as it's quite likely the dragons would fully understand and comprehend what the Elementals were going on about. It's not like it is in the case of mortals, where sometimes even Hearers and Padjal are totally confused as to why the Elementals are losing their shit. I suspect that the great dragons - not the lesser ones, of course - would be much more aware of what is going on. So instead of it being the case with mortals, where we're doing things that don't make any sense to us, it might very well make perfect sense to a dragon, because they don't think the way we do. I have to agree with that sentiment. The dragons have been here forever, and with the way that their minds operate, details like that are probably fresh in their minds.

To be honest, "I was born at the Grindstone" is a pretty epic way to begin your backstory. Can you imagine what that kid's gonna be like? They forced their mother to give birth to them to join the fighting.

Monogamy, when it comes to Miqo'te, is always the exception to the rule. Outside the tribes and clans, it's an option, and it's one that typically leans towards Miqo'te that were born in the cities rather than the typical environments. You're not really breaking the lore as much as you are, say, opting out of the cultural status quo.

Edgar sighed before continuing, "...I grabbed my demon by the throat. And I peered into its eyes and saw only myself. It was then, and only then, that my own eyes did open..." He stopped and pointed to his bum eye. "Even this one. It was...Provocative. Further study is needed, clearly."[/align] [/align]

Merlwyb was present in 1.0, before they ever added Femroes into character creation, so clearly there was intent. Her appearance was purportedly so jarring it caused people to guess she was either an entirely new nonplayable species, or some form of Elezen, at the time. I bullshit you not. http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Merlwyb_Bloefhiswyn#Trivia

There were no words spoken that day, by Koporo. Just the sounds of his head bashing against the table.

I can't help but feel, given the discussion and points made, this makes a good segue into a new thread about each race's cultural norms and how we interpret and portray them in our RP.

See: My signature for why this is not a good trade-off.

It's not spam, but it IS deserving of its own thread. If I might recommend this board, next time? Anyroad, to answer your question, there is a hotkey to remove the interface. Go to the menu, go to Keybinds, go to the System tab, and scroll down until you find, "Toggle UI Display Mode" and set a hotkey for it. This key will remove all the Interface until you hit it again. EDIT: It might benefit me to not skim over posts in the future. I did not notice that you were on the PS4

Kopoooooo!

Do all your daily roulette. All of them together got me halfway to 58 from 57, not including PVP. It means sacrificing your law/eso grind for a day, but it really does help.

This guy had the best hook ever for rp. Those two guys are dancing constantly to keep him calm. The dodos are there in case they begin to starve.

All my characters have walk-up in their search info. Unless I specifically say otherwise, go ahead and interact with me if you see either Edgar or Koporo.
