Hello everyone! First post.
So, I've RPed for years upon years, got into FFXIV earlier this year, and I've been casually RPing FFXIV content lately - but only off-site with friends, and not in game. I'm interested in making an alt on Mateus and giving "proper" in-game RP a whirl.
I think I'm pretty well-versed in canon Seeker lore, and I've seen some examples of how the FFXIV RP community handles Seekers - tribes being larger and more diverse than the single settlements we see in game, that kind of thing. I'm still curious, though, if any loose consensus exists in the community w/r/t the tribes that don't have a nailed-down canon location? R Tribe being La Noscean based on the location of raptors and R Tribe NPCs, for example, is one that I see a lot. Are there other tribes that people tend to agree on a background for?
And if you play a Seeker, even if you don't think you follow any kind of community consensus, I'm interested in hearing your assumptions/headcanons/background-building for your character's tribe.
(I know the answer to this whole thread is ultimately "if it's not canon do what you want", but I like taking inspiration from other people's ideas, and following community trends/fanon/etc has got to make relationship-building easier.)
Thanks!
