In light of this thread, discussing lore and how it affects our characters is and always will be a major part of the RPC. However, it's the responsibility of each individual poster to decide what is best for them to reply to and what is not.
When anyone makes a post on these forums with an idea they are then opening up that idea and theory to scrutiny against what we currently know to exist about the world of Eorzea. The purpose of this forum is to provide for civil discourse, which can mean disagreements.
Whether it is supportive or contradictory, we all have a responsibility to make an effort to try and co-exist with how others choose to roleplay, and to keep the environment civil whenever possible. Please keep that in mind as this thread moves forward.
With that said, the origins of Au Ra is something that I believe was always meant to be deliberately ambiguous, a la "Is Rick Deckard a Replicant", "Is Leo still in a dream in Inception", and so on. It's meant to be an in-universe source of contention, and I think largely deserves to be kept that way.
