M'kay so I've been scouring around the forms first to see if I could find something to give me ideas, however I could only find a few tidbits or theories that weren't really too conclusive, so I figured getting some various thoughts might help out.
Basically my male Keeper (Tali'ra) at this point is dealing with two things at the moment.
1. They're a Keeper whose fallen for a Seeker.
2. The Seeker they've fallen for is also male.
Given how a lot of the Tia/Nunh stuff works, at least in my mind, it seems to me that same gender relationships may not be too much an issue or could even be a relief, especially if a Tia has not much interest in having to play to all that Nunh related shenanigans. However, I'm a little more unsure of how it might affect a Keeper given a lot of the implication that male Keepers are a bit more rare. Would a male Keeper falling for another male (and a Seeker no less) be seen as something shameful or selfish? Or would it even matter if they're distancing themselves from general clan norms?
The only reason I ask this is less about handling other people (because I generally take the idea that adventurers really don't pay much mind to tradition as it stands) but more how it would affect Tali'ra's inner conflict. He holds of love and affection for his family growing up, but also a lot of frustration for never feeling like he could live up to the expectation that goes along with being a male keeper. So I guess I'm just trying to figure out of it would be something he still hesitates on allowing himself to have.
My apologies if the topic isn't really that fun and I'm definitely not trying to be controversial for any sort of shock factor, but being that I myself have the same sort of orientation, I just want to make characters who'd act accordingly given their upbringing and perceived expectations.
