Hi there! First of all, wonderful idea on the resistance roleplay! I will parrot a lot of what others here have said in that keeping an active well-organized Linkshell + accompanying Discord server is probably the best. There are already a few FCs out there dealing with resistance stuff. (I am actually in one catering to Doma, more specifically, but I believe there is also some for Ala Mhigo, too!) On my part, I would gladly assist in anything I can, but I am content in my FC and unwilling to leave it! As far as Housing, I would say to try and snag a couple of apartments, if possible, and set those up as the meeting spaces, or when the expac. comes, try to snag a house! Even if it's just 'your' house, you can still decorate it for the Resistance stuff you want to accomplish. So yeah, best of luck to you, and let me know if you want some help!

I would like an invite for both of my Au Ra if there is room, and it's still active.

I would enjoy an invite, but from what I've read, this doesn't even exist anymore. D:

Hello! I was wondering if you all are still active and recruiting? :moogle:

I am personally not one of those types that take every in-game thing into my roleplay, and generally (at least in other games), I stray away from that entirely. I often separate in-game mechanics and ideas from rp entirely, unless it makes sense to do so otherwise. (Just as an example, I don't do the level = RP strength thing.) I know that leves and such are a thing that has lore behind it, so I'm okay with that, but.. Some of the things in this game that have lore behind them I absolutely would never RP, and would find it just strange to do so otherwise. To each their own! Just my style of doing things, I guess. :chocobo: Either way! I went ahead and made her a Kahkol tribe member, with her original tribe having a reverence for animals found on the steppe (amongst some other little ideas, based on some research I did.) Should be fun.

Just wanted to thank everyone once again for your responses to the post! I went ahead and made her a Kahkol, though she will have her own tribe which I'm making myself which would have been scattered/absorbed/killed (haven't fully decided) otherwise. That way, she has a reason for joining the aforemention Kahkol tribe. Now to do even more reading and research. Thanks again! :moogle:

I haven't been actively rp'ing much in game recently, but so far I have really only seen Dotharls and Malagulds. I saw one Kha, and I play another char which is a Goro, but I haven't seen a whole lot beyond that. I really like the idea of doing my own thing, but you're right in that it leaves no one to connect with, unless I happen to coerce a friend into making a char of the same tribe. I don't mind that at all though, as I can use it in her story. (As in, her tribe was scattered, absorbed, or maybe killed off, unfortunately.) Gah, what to do!

The thing is, where would they get clothing made of plant fibers? I suppose they could trade with the friendly tribes for such, but it makes more sense to me that they might even go nude or then wear little to no clothing. (Or, as mentioned by others in the thread, maybe use carapaces or pieces of the vilekin. Or then somehow make a little bit of clothing from the shrubs..) A lot of the tribes seem like they are inspired by more than just the Mongolians, to me, though this is only speculation on my part. It seems there might be some inspiration from other Asian tribes tossed in there, especially in the case of those that are more coastal and such. (And the one who covers themselves only in mud, as an example!) I may just end up having my own small tribe that she's from, in the end, given it's definitely a possibility. There's just too many questions with some of the other listed tribes that I'm not sure I feel comfortable answering. :?

Hey! Thanks for the responses! Been trying to research some real life hunter-gatherer tribes, and so far all use animals to some degree, but a good few wear little to no clothing, as it's not really needed in some cases or for one reason or another, they simply don't. To me, this sortof makes sense for the Sagahl, given they don't have husbandry of any kind (or so we can assume, at least.) I'm going to keep looking, so I can try to draw some parallels from real life groups, if at all possible.

Hello everyone, I am interested in roleplaying an Au'ra from the Sagahl tribe, and their little lore snippet says this: "A tribe which sees all beastkin as equals with man, therefore refuses to eat or use them as beasts of burden. As a result, the diet of the Sagahl mainly consists of steppe shrubs and vilekin." My questions stem from how far they take these decrees. For example, in regards to the beasts, are they willing to drink milk from animals or use their fur, so long as they aren't harmed in any manner? I am thinking they probably wouldn't though, if they truly see them as equals to their own race. Afterall, most Au'ra would not drink the milk of one another (save for babies) or then shave their hair off to use for clothing, as an example. (I hope!) Is there anything in the lore to suggest otherwise? Even just a NPC? And also, what kind of clothing do they wear? If any at all.. I discussed this with another person who studies history, and even he thinks they are probably a 'stunted' sortof people who likely don't wear much, if any clothing at all. We thought of various plants that might be harvested and turned into workable fibers by hand (like jute or cotton), but it would be incredibly tedious and difficult without animals to help plant and otherwise. That's assuming those types of plants grow in Othard to begin with. The other thought was that maybe they use magic to help with such things, but I'd hate to immediately jump to that conclusion.. Another thought was that they somehow use the vilekin (like the huge ants) to help work, given they also eat these creatures, so they would likely have no trouble making them into workers as well. I would appreciate any thoughts or insight from anyone who happened to read through my long post! Thank you in advance. :cactuar:
