Tallera has a severe antipathy for elezen due to her history in Coerthas. She also has an extremely niche hatred for people who fit a very specific military brass archtype. The sort of people who see grunt soldiers as statistics and act tough from their cushy backline position.

Jajara was raised exclusively amongst lalafell and somewhat racist lalafell at that. She has a deep-set distrust for miqo'te, particularly Seekers, and tends to assume that they are generally less morally conscious than others. It often colors her first impression of miqo'te (males in particular) and lends itself to some unfair judgement on her part.
To be fair, she might unconsciously look down on other races in general, but the miqo'te get the worst of it. Delial for the most part cares little for race and more for homeland. Ala Mhigans, especially those she deems 'true' Ala Mhigans, are the ones she relates to the most and so she acts most favorably towards them upon first meeting. Midlanders... not so much, as she thinks of them slightly akin to rats who have spread themselves far, far too wide. In general she cares little for Eorzeans in general, having seen how quickly they turn on good (BETTER, in some cases) people just because said person may have ties to Garlemald, however insignificant said ties may be. But the opinions of others do not concern her. |

Sophia: Garlemald > Everything, but she does see value in other races/cultures.
Bex: The only bias she holds is against the ignorant and/or stupid, and its not even a hatred; its more that she just doesn't have patience for much of anything or anyone unless she is learning something. Lorelei: She's still learning, but she feels more at ease with her fellow highlanders, especially those who are of the more traditional, Ala Mhigan vein. She has a deep seated hatred for Garleans, but she's too much of a carebear to let that actually affect anything. |

Iron has a legit issue with telling Lalafel apart.
Beyond that, other Roe make him nervous, so he usually keeps away from their company. There are exceptions tho. |

Like a lot of characters, Lily haaaaaaaaaaaates Garleans. Even after finding out certain things about herself. Garleans have taken away a lot of things from her and she thinks that once you're a part of the Empire, that never truly goes away. Liliana tends to think they're all double- or sleeper agents. Of course, this is if she ever finds out some of the people she cares for as friends are Garleans/Garlean sympathizers. 8D
Another thing she...well, doesn't hate, but is more than mildly afraid of, are Roes. Even though she's worked with them for five years, their sheer size overwhelms the Midlander and she finds herself cowering in their presence. Doesn't help that one gave her a bear hug one time and almost snapped her in half. Also, she now holds incredible disgust for moogles. Though, that is actually stemming from a personal problem I've had with Thornmarch EX... >.> "There is no 'if' in making a difference.

Jet'a Vann / Clive Stark / Kujh'a Lihzeh
Three of my characters have a very poor view of Seekers of the Sun women. The Seeker's society structure (all females mating with the same male in the tribe), puts to the eyes of my characters male Seekers of the Sun as men with no personal attachment for a partner, and female Seekers as something close to whores. That, combined with the fact that all of them were hit on / or saw others get hit on by females of the Seeker clan, has resulted in my characters beginning to use "Son of a Seeker" as an insult. Dylise Rontremont Instead, Dylise, as a Duskwight woman, has the stereotypical grudge against the Green. While there are NPCs who still express discrimination towards the Grey (some in front of the Lancer's guild comes to mind), I was rather sad to see no one of the Elezen RPers I've interacted with seems to keep this bit of the lore into account. Don't be so nice to Dylise, you Wildwoods! Kujh'a Lihzeh Kujh has an angst/terror for females of the Keeper clan that is borderline psychotic. Grown in a society that taught him of how females are superior to him, and having broke the boundaries with that society and become a fighter himself (his Keeper family is very strict and did not allow males to be raised as combatants), he has set his own goal to prove that he can be a better hunter than any Keeper woman out there. He refuses to admit to be unable to do anything a female Keeper could do (including birthgiving!?), and in trying to prove so he has already gotten a lot into trouble, as Kiht Jakkya well knows. At the same time, while he feels competitive with these women, he is also terrified of them, feeling they are psychopaths that will cut his throat at any given time for daring step on their society role's holy ground. To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

Tarot has enough room in his heart for all of Hydaelyn's Creatures--so long as they have money. However, he also holds all of them in equal contempt if they aren't him--or Moogles. He loves Moogles.
And he HATES chocobos. Filthy, smelly creatures, infested with bugs and basically, to him, walking buttholes that eat. |

(09-30-2014, 06:53 PM)Sastra Wrote: So she went out to find the nearest "Tall person" and basically went "Hi person, this is Sastra, do you want to be her boyfriend?"Â AHAHAA. TALL PERSON. YES. *Stares* But in regards to my own reply, this got me thinking. And.. Huh. Interesting and surprising consequences. Bexy holds a few of these, in both good and bad ways. She's wary, borderline terrified of any male Highlander she doesn't know well. She'll do anything to keep out of their way that isn't blindingly obvious, mostly keeping her distance at the other end of the room or taking the furthest seat away. Reason being she had a fairly negative experience with one when she was younger, and it stuck. She's also a little prejudiced against Seeker males, if only not being fond of the womanising tendencies many are known for having. She'll still be polite and the like to them, but she's more likely to keep her distance until she knows them better. Exceptions to every rule and all that. In regards to... Favouring others for the better... Elezen. Specifically Elezen men. She grew up around them, was taught archery through them, taught to read, write, and even her mannerisms of speech developed though them. One of her biggest things she looks for in others is for them to be well spoken and polite, and she finds many elezen share this trait. She's... Overly fond of them, and this even gets to be to a point of teasing for a lot of her kin. Regarding my alt, Versoix.. He's pretty laid back and doesn't really care too much what people think, or what he thinks. Unless they are a wildwood. Being a Duskwight, he's fairly wary around them. Not in any sort of negative manner. He's just more afraid they are going to be cruel to him. |
