Â Its completely up to you on that front. Â
First questions:
What is Miqo'te roleplay like?
I am asking this because the lore behind Miqo'te, while interesting on paper, does not suit my taste in actual roleplay. It's a bit too tribal for me, and so what is the rp like? Is the Miqo'te roleplay, as a whole, more civilized or relatable to Hyur, or more tribal and lore-abiding?
Would it be frowned upon in the community to roleplay a more civilized Miqo'te? And what type of roleplay do you see coming from Miqo'te most often? How are Miqo'te generally depicted?
Second Questions:
What is your roleplay on your Miqo'te or what do you planning on doing?
I am curious to see what roleplay ideas people have for their Miqo'te.
For your second question I am rping as a more tribal Miqo'te, Â hes older though and a little bit wiser in the ways of the world than say a fresh faced youngster from a tribe stepping into the city for the first time.
I know in the end it is up to me, thats the nice thing about story writing. However, I also want to make sure my story is open and exciting for other roleplayers, not just myself. One of the things I love the most about roleplay is character interaction.
And I think its pretty acceptable to have an older, traditional styled Miqo'te, it adds conflict and such between the generations. However, would you say that as a general community, more people are roleplaying tribal styled Miqo'te, or more of a civilized style?

Others have fit in the tribal aspect into their character. It's all up to the player.
You can check out my wiki if you'd like to know more about my Miqo'te. Link is in my signature. ^^
I'll take a look!

I personally see no reason why you couldn't play your character as a more 'civilized' person, regardless if s/he is a tribe member or not. To me, lore is to help me device a background for the character I want to play and not a 'law' or set of rules I need to follow or I'd be doing it wrong.
I have two Miqo'te characters, both Seekers, one being a tribe member and one being not. One simply did not grow up in a tribe and has lived his whole life in Limsa, and the other left the tribe, and has already learned and adapted to various type of cultures. One carries a common-sounding name and the other has kept his tribe name.
I could go on for a good length about their back stories and ideas but I'll hold off a bit for a moment, as I'm not completely done with my ideas yet.
Just my two cents. Hope it helped, at least a little =)
I have a bit of a story written but I am hesitant on blending it into a Miqo'te. I wanted to see what the RP community's views were towards them and how they are roleplayed/depicted in roleplay before I make that step. Thanks again!
