Okay, moving past the Nunh/Tia debate, if A miqo'te where to leave his tribe and not much care to start another, would he be interested in a romance with other species/races other then his own?

Â I mean I'm sure others RPers have, but what would the Miqo'te do themselves? I figure that being in the tribe it would be Miqo'te all the way around. But as a tribeless member, would it be out of nature to fall for a Roge or Elezen?

And is there any other hard known facts about Miqo'te that I seem to be missing?

The heart wants what the heart wants. I believe that no matter what race your character is, they can love whoever they want to love. Are they able to be with them? That depends on the other player. Inter-racial breeding has been confirmed (or so I hear), though as far as I know we're uncertain as to whether it is frowned upon by the common Eorzean. EDIT: Sounsyy confirmed that it is mostly frowned upon. Yay Sounsyy!

My character, Y'lani, would find it very odd, and only because your character is a male Miqo'te Nunh. She's so used to her own cultural norms that it makes it incredibly hard for her to see a male Miqo'te foster a love for another man, or a male Miqo'te love a different race, because male Miqo'te are rarer than female Miqo'te in the lore. This is applicable to both cultures (Seekers and Keepers). In Keeper lore, males tend to wander from "family" to "family", solely there to give women Keepers more babies across the land. Now, this is from word of mouth, so don't be surprised if I'm wrong. But male Miqo'te being rarer than females? That's a definite.

Does that mean it shouldn't happen? Nope! Some characters may find it odd, but that's only more roleplay opportunity for you! It should also be noted that tribal Seeker females often stick to one partner (the Nunh) while the Nunh has many. Females would likely not get too attached to the Nunh, because the Nunh may switch out at any moment if a Tia wins in a battle for the title, but again, Miqo'te can certainly feel love. They're related to the races of man, after all, and they can have an Eternal Bond ceremony like any other race.

I haven't read it, but there's a Polyamory Guide somewhere on the RPC that may be helpful to you, depending. I personally enjoy the Miqo'te lore (it's logical, but in human society, it messes with our ethics) while others tend to find it controversial, or uncomfortable. Whether you feel this way is completely your own personal opinion.

Again, I'm on my phone... so I apologize in advance for my scattered responses!

EDIT: darn, I'm so slow, only typing 30 words per minute on my phone! Anyway, what Sounsyy said is totally right. I suppose I'll keep this here anyway. Big Grin

So I need a major hand at this RP thing.
