But let's say, for instance, a character claims to be from Ul'dah, their family also from Ul'dah, but they choose to have this character exhibit very traditional culture that typically isn't around that area?Yeah, in that particular case, I don't think it'd make quite as much sense. Maybe there's some sort of Orthodox Miqo'te (lol?) sect in each city-state that we don't know about, but that's probably assuming an awful lot, and I generally don't like to make assumptions about the lore. If the character's backstory involves them being a city-state resident for their entire lives (or even going back multiple generations), those sorts of traits would seem pretty out of place, unless the character's parents were abnormally rigid about maintaining tradition for some reason.

Or perhaps treat them as they actually are a rare gem, despite the numerous other people claiming the same kind of thing?I don't have an answer to this. I actually find myself wondering the same thing about a lot of "rare" traits that are apparently quite common among RP'ed characters. Perhaps just the nature of everyone wanting to be "unique" in the same way and thereby everyone ending up being the same
