Reading this without commas created a horrific nightmare image in my brain. XD
Anyway woo controversy! I mean, uhm, time to answer questions!
Category A.
1. Are there any any races you particularly love the opposite (or same) gender of? The models, the history, the lore, anything.
Aesthetically? Sure. I like pretty much all of them except male highlander and roegadyn (way too steroid-beefy for me, personally), and though I can appreciate the powerful aesthetic of female roegadyn, their noses bother me to a degree that I can't bring myself to play one. Which is sad, because I had been hoping for a Bahmi or Aman-esque race to play in ARR. xD Culturally speaking, I find the miqo'te and elezen the most fascinating, especially Seekers and Duskwight.
2. How do you view interracial couples in -game-? Specifically, let's not get into a debate about whether or not it's 'gross' to you as a person or if there are too many people doing it.
OOCly, I don't give a rat's ass. The only time I'm concerned with someone else's roleplay is if it's lore-shattering and getting in the way of my own RP. Otherwise, people can do whatever they want, or whoever they want, I suppose.
Category B.
1. Does your character seek friends or partners based predominantly on race?
Antimony is kind of bad at people and doesn't really actively seek friendships per se, and she certainly is not actively looking for any romance. She doesn't particularly discriminate as far as how she behaves towards others, though, especially after spending five years in Limsa Lominsa. She does have sort of an undertone of... uncertainty towards non-Seeker miqo'te, largely because she spent the first 4 decades of her life isolated from the rest of the world, but she adapts. Adapting is far better than the alternative of returning to her past home and family.
2. How does your character view interracial pairings and are their feelings different from your own?
Antimony would likely look askance at an interracial couple, perhaps confused at how such things might work. It's not a negative judgment on her part, just the idea bringing up a certain degree of cognitive dissonance. Her former tribe had fairly strict rules regarding couplings, and part of her is still stuck in those traditions. However, perhaps moreso than interracial pairings, she would be very confused by non-tribal Seekers. If she sees a male miqo'te cavorting with a female, her brain automatically labels him as a nunh, which may subtly influence her own interactions with said individual. Likewise for someone she may perceive as a tia.
