Ive only been playing FFXIV for the past three months now but it's been a blast! I've been wanting to get into RP on Balmung for a while but I've never really been able to yet. Partly because I've been trying to catch up on the MSQ, partly because I just don't know where to start.
One thing I'm trying to figure out: my Xaela Au Ra, Ruka Buhen, has a Doman/Japanese sounding name. I had no idea Xaela were based off of Mongolians and that's way more awesome to me. But...I'd feel really weird if I changed my name to a more appropiate Xaela one since I'm so used to NPCs calling me Ruka.
Any advice to get around this? I figure I just have Ruka Buhen be an adopted name when she travelled to Doma, while her birth name was Temujin of the Haragin tribe, but I dunno honestly. I haven't really fleshed my characters backstory beyond "obsessed with Allagan technology, became a Machinist".
