Okay, guys. Serious thought exercise here.
How does an Au Ra deal with those bloody horns?
You can forget about kissing. Like, seriously, just forget about it, it's too much of a pain to get two Au Ra's lips to connect without them horns making unfavorable contact with the other's face.
You must be mindful of your facing at all times. Trip in the wrong way and BAM!
FATALITY!!
Or even just tripping and getting them stuck in the ground, or worse, shattering upon contact with the ground. They also provide very convenient handlebars for the opponent to use during a fist fight (something also true of long hairstyles, mind you, and one reason I very rarely play any characters with long hair who aren't also casters).
Also, you have to clean them. Not a huge deal, but still a consideration.
And don't forget about them getting caught on doorways or hanging objects, or doing something as simple as putting on a shirt. How many shirts do you think an Au Ra goes through in a typical week? They probably have to make them out of durable materials... which is not convenient during the summertime, heh.
All of this just to say, yeah, no, thanks but no thanks. The horns alone are reason enough for me never to roll an Au Ra, unless I made her entire character centered around those damn horns, because, seriously, I cannot get over those things. How can you get over something so appallingly impractical and potentially lethal?
