Interesting topic,
I have had similar conversations, although mine we're more focused on the Undead and blood elves being the two I played during my time there.
A-1: Are there any any races you particularly love the opposite (or same) gender of? The models, the history, the lore, anything.
I am fond of a few of the races, (in particular) Roegadyn, Elezen, and Lalafell. Though for different reasons, the Roegadyn I find charming in the same way as Taurens/Trolls, they just seem like interesting people even if I haven't met them yet. The bluster or brashness of their character can be endearing.
Elezen are the kind of "Formal" beauty I appreciate like Renaissance portraits, Regal is another fitting word I suppose from their Lore to their NPCs, I enjoy depicting or discovering the small maneuvers that come with making your character perceived as "better".
Lalafell i'm fond of in another matter, they look (to me) like a duality, a soft/calm/child-like exterior beguiling a capacity for great/devious/excitable demeanor. I'm interested in the gap between expected and actual. I'll admit though that a large part of it is Momodi, who was very pleasant in 1.0 and coloured my view of them.
A-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.
I tend to not think much of it from an OCC perspective, i've only roleplayed heavily in two MMO's and they both had a fair amount of it in different groups, so long it is something that can be addressed if it comes up I don't pay it much mind.
A-3. Do your OOC feelings towards a particular race make you more open or affect what your character is looking for when they're either flirting around, pursuing romance, or just, in general, acting differently towards those individuals.
My OCC did a bit tailor my original character development early in 1.0, but I found that through Roleplaying my OCC opinion was changes as well, particularly surrounding Lalafells, at first I treated Momodi and Lalai as exceptions. Though after meeting players and even more characters I've found them some of the most engaging and engaged persons in the realm.
B-1. Does your character seek friends or partners based predominantly on race?
He's more willing to become acquaintances will fellow Duskwight, then Non-Wildwood/Hyur, then Hyur, then Wildwood. After the initial acquaintance, and a few meetings or actions together he usually becomes more receptive to queries or conversation from others.
B-2. How does your character view interracial pairings and are their feelings different from your own?
It depends on the Pairing and the people, his Father was a bit of a romantic so he does try to feel happy for peoples who have found some one to spend time with, but offhandedly dismisses some of the more casual relationships. To a point he often feels sorry for persons who have to be reserved around each other due to outside pressure, and faintly disgusted with those who flaunt their "difference" a "shut up and enjoy it" stance essentially.
Hmm, I could talk about this for hours but i'll stop now,
thanks for the brain food!
