My Au'ra, I don't want her to just be accepted as if she is the girl down the street. She is still new to Ul'dah and her people aren't seen elsewhere but though the MSQ right now. I am a firm believer that people fear what they do not understand and I am certain people will fear Au'ra at first because they do not understand them. Especially with how the beast tribes are and well...she has been called a Lizard girl several times.(06-05-2015, 08:53 PM)hauntmedoitagain Wrote: I really don't understand this and maybe I'm missing something, but what is there that's enjoyable about being treated like a racial minority circa late 1800s?
It has story potential. Â The need to prove yourself to people who fundamentally suspect or dislike you. Â Being misunderstood/distrusted and having to win the trust of those around you. Â As Seriphyn pointed out, not everyone will welcome this kind of conflict but many people will see it as the beginning of an interesting story.
I see this as a way for her to grow and deal with the IC strife players can give her rather then just working off her past as her only conflict in life. If people do not feel comfortable with their characters being treated as such they are always able to walk their character away from the conflict. The player always has the power in the end.
