Category A: You, OOCLY
 1. Are there any any races you particularly love the opposite (or same) gender of? The models, the history, the lore, anything.
The race-genders I like the most would be, in no particular order, Miqo'te (males and females), Highlander Hyur (males and females), Midlander Hyur females, Elezen females, and Roegayden females but not all of them. Some Roe females look terrible, some look unbelievably hot, such as Merlwyb who I think I fell in love with once I got to see her in a cut scene. I even wanted to make a female Roe but had trouble getting her to look how I envisioned her so I gave up and went Highlander.
I don't care much for Midlander Hyur men, they're too... I don't know, androdgynous is not the right word. Just, more and more these days the ideal male is turning into this pale, skinny, flacid creature.  My ideal male image is big and bearded.
As for Lalafell, they are adorable! But, you know, moe. I would probably be killed in Eorzea if I were to really visit it. Die at the hands of an angry Lalafell. Everytime I have a quest involving one of those matcho evil Lalafell gangsters in Ul'dah, my only reply would be to pinch his cheeks and call him cute. Kind of like in "Elf", where Will Farrel's character addresses the "angry elf".
As for male elezen, most of them just look like tossers to me. Something about their aesthetics.
 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.
The only time I'd ever give pause to interacial couples in-game is if I saw a Roe or Highlander with a Lalafell, and then then it'd be nothing more than pondering the mechanics.
 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.
Â
Yes, and I would question the sincerity of anyone who'd say different. You're character isn't really a person. However, your character seems real because they are gifted with the semblence of life. The source of that semblence is bestowed to the character by its creator. What makes your character tick is really a part of you. So anything my character feels or thinks is really something I think or feel on some level.
Category B: Your character
 1. Does your character seek friends or partners based predominantly on race?
No, but for Crim she'd favour fellow Highlanders due to the fall of Ala Mhigo. As for A'nari, I think she'd shy away from male Miqo'te due to the Sun Seeker social hierarchy. I will admit this is kind of my fault, as I made her before I had a real chance to read up on their racial lore, but she is a firebrand through-and-through and won't participate in one of those harems. She'll die alone before being a part of something like that. Now, I just need to think of a good reason why she's that way. I could definately see A'nari falling for a Highlander or Roe.
As an aside to A'nari, I don't like some of the facial expressions she has when being addressed by Thancrid in the cutscenes. I understand he's supposed to be some sort of Ladies' man, and he's got all the stereotypical hot protagonist cliche aesthtics sported by anime characters, but he seems like an utter ponce.
 2. How does your character view interracial pairings and are their feelings different from your own?
I don't think they'd vary much from mine OOC, largely because my characters aren't bigots. As they have more time to experience the world, as these characters are in their infancy, that might change.
