Most of them are tension based and from isghardians who though she by the statement of SE is not like a dragon, still looks like one and gets treated like dirt.(06-04-2015, 05:18 PM)Seriphyn Wrote: It is a shame that only a minority of us will actually roleplay out these tensions...because do we really think in a world where there is still racial divides (Elezen vs Hyur, Gridanians vs Keepers, Ul'dahns vs Highlanders), that the mass arrival of Au Ra will be met without a bat of an eyelid?
Consider also that these Au Ra will be arriving so suddenly in such a short timeframe. In a single day, about half a dozen of the people you know will transform into Au Ra, or reveal that they secretly were them. More of them will start turning up.Â
I only hope Au Ra players are prepared to deal with this kind of reaction IC. It has the potential to deepen their RP, if nothing else. But I could see some inexperienced RPers finding it frustrating or an obstacle that there are other characters who want nothing to do with them.
She has been Icly
Spat on/at
Chased with a lance/pitchfork/had rocks thrown at her
Been called a lizard lady
Was told if she was any less humanoid looking she would be eaten (by a miqo'te)
Called Ugly, hideous, etc
Generally accepted
Heavily questioned by someone curious about what she was
Had a tuning fork struck against her horns in a testing manner by a lalafell (she did not like this one at all)
I'm happy with the results and can't wait for more Au'ra to actually pop up!
