Sun kitty ftw \o/

Yeah well Im off for the rest of the week so Im trying to doc as many hours as I can before I have to work the weekend.

So for us newbs what time is it normally, my email said 8 but I don't know what timezone that is.

Im more looking for their hierarchy, would be nice if there was more information on this. But alas I shall wait patiently.

I do believe I will still press on with my Seeker, my partner has created a Keeper. After reading several threads and participating in such discussions I have come to the conclusion that while they may be exiled by their clans and those who uphold the tribal ways of the Miqo'te, not many other races will even care. Besides whats roleplay without a little conflict, eh? Newb Question: Where can I find out more on the Miqo'te aside from the wiki page. Im trying to understand the differences in the tribes hierarchy. Like who would have a Matriarch of sorts etc etc

And here I was just exploring mixed clan breeding lol. More importantly with the Miqo'te race who are physically very similar in some aspects It seems we are onto a whole other thing here entirely.

This depends entirely on the miqo'te in question. Adventurers and those who live in the city-states are likely to fall into the "don't care/are unaware of" or "actively hostile" camps regarding tribal miqo'te traditions. However, you can't be sure of how other characters are going to react to your characters. While the devs have said that the average Eorzean is typically fairly tolerant, even a worldly miqo'te adventurer might find it "icky" that a Seeker and a Keeper are having a relationship -- a response similar to racism in real life. It's also entirely possible to run into a miqo'te adventurer who still holds to the tribal ways, such as a tia gaining strength to challenge his tribe's nunh, and that character is likely to be rather displeased to see the relationship. TBH, just remember that IC Actions Equal IC Consequences and that you can't predict the behavior of other PCs. You may take some lumps IC for your character's romantic activities when/if they become known. Be prepared for that and you'll be fine. I typically approach everything involving my character in that sense, very little actually bothers me from an IC standpoint. If a person's character doesn't like my Miqo'te I wont be too affected OC about it. I think I will continue with my idea however, its always interesting to see how others reacted to things outside the social norm as it pertains to them.

I think the thing to remember with these type of things is that no one will really know that our pair is together. Especially since their coupling will have made them both exiles. I don't intend to go around town hand holding and making kissy faces at his Keeper, because that (in my Seeker's eyes) would be, "...like spitting in everyone's face." We have never really roleplayed the types of characters who doted on public displays of affection even when we chose the same race/sub race in a game. And "pushing past the limitations set for us" is often times some of the most fun roleplay I have had. Now I certainly don't want to bend the lore but I am curious, at what point would such intermingling happen? And after being exiled from their respective clans would the pair still be likely to receive such harassment outside of their homeland?

Khaze- I am definitely intrigued by the aspect of inter-clan mixed relations. My boyfriend and I chose the Miqo'te but he chose the Keepers while I opted for Seekers. I'm very big on the lore that surrounds any character I play in a game. So I guess my concern is for how the couple would be perceived by the community of Miqo'te as a whole. The two clans showcase very distinct differences both visually and culturally it seems. I suppose it could make for a very compelling story of forbidden love and the like. Though I suspect living in a large city views might be slightly different especially if the majority is opting to roleplay the less tribalistic Miqo'te. I would honestly welcome the conflict that would arise from it though.

So then I suspect it is safe to say that a seeker female who falls for a keeper male would likely be cast out of her current tribe? The pair would possible be exiled or keep their affair a secret. I'm new and just sort of working through the things in my brain in regards to lore.
