Elezen Guys: Endangered Species

[Ciel]

There are lots of both Wildwood and Duskwight guys (and gals) on the All Ears LS.  Funnily enough, that was created because of the notion that we were an endangered species.  The LS is 86 strong.

I have a straight male Elezen duskwight. I love him to death, but it is rather lonely a lot of times for him as he pines away for other Elezen company. Almost any time he see's an Elezen in the QS he tries to chat with them... duskwights especially but if there are none around wildwoods, who tend to be friendlier characters, especially players of wildwood females (duskwight female players, ugh). Repeat encounters have been a problem though so it has been hard to make Elezen friends, and just mostly he gets caught up rping with the other races because they are so much more common, especially Xaela (A lot of friendly Xaela about!).

[Ozma]

So now that you guys have all established that I am wrong and there are communities of Elezens still out there amongst the ocean of Miqo'te. 

 

How many of you roleplay as a stereotypical Elezen who looks down on other races and compete against each other to become the biggest jerk of Eorzea like the canon npcs we see ingame? =D

Say hi to my character Giauque Lordes whenever he's around. He's very scowly, but I swear he's a pretty nice guy!

 

@Ozma: Mine isn't much like that. He's Ishgardian born and raised until recently, so he simply doesn't have much experience with Lalafell, Au ra, Roegadyn, or Miqo'te. I wouldn't say he thinks himself better

You can find me in game as Ciel Grayve or Glace Silencieuse.  A handful of others also have the ability to invite: Crisiet Liautroix, Devereau Beauregard, Julienaux Sintierre, and Corbeaux Baptiste all have stars.  Feel free to ask any of us if we don't spot you first.

I do! to an extent. Noelia is your typical Ishgardian Noble, and she doesn't really get along well with other races. She can respect Hyur and Lalafells ("little demons" as she calls them) but Miqo'te are just...beneath her.

 

As a player I don't see many other roleplaying that way. Most often I've seen the Ishgardian rebel kind of character who hates Ishgard with a passion.

Solenne has a lot of racial prejudices. She's most prejudiced against Duskwights (although she's mellowed a bit on that since she had the misfortune of falling in love with one), but she also looks down on Miqo'te (believing they come in two varieties - poachers and dancers), and she's wary of Rogadyn (so uncivilized). Lalas and Hyur get a pass for the most part. I mean, they're not as noble or beautiful as Elezen, but she has a certain measure of respect for them, due mostly to frequent exposure. She finds Au Ra a bit fascinating and flirts when Au Ra men when she's feeling scandalous. 

 

I really do wish more people would play up the racial and clan tensions in the game. They are an excellent source of conflict and character development.

Being an Elezen...I suspect isn't always easy, and Ishgardian one at that, considering all the tensions in the game from different sides.  We actually just happened to run into Solenne and a gentleman Elezen who was less than a gentleman (which I found fun btw!) as we entered Camp Dragonhead, but of course I run with two Elezen, one who is Ishgardian but not of noble blood, and one who is not Ishgardian, so their attitude towards things is just a bit different, being that they very much are the sort of "Adventurer Mentality".

 

To me, Elezen aesthetic form and movement, are both exceptionally beautiful.  I actually think that Elezen faces can have non-traditional beauty to them, that I find I quite like, somewhat like a sexy European man that maybe by "American Standards" not everyone would like.  They have an unusual gait yes, their lovely hips and long limbs account for that, but being a Lalafell, you aren't getting a stranger gait than that, so to me they offer something exotic.  Perhaps because of their lack of popularity, it makes them special to me, but probably also because those who choose to RP them, seem to be each skilled in their own right when it comes to RP, great stories and plot execution, greater sense of character than some other races!  I think that FFXIV really makes a wonderful atmosphere for that, and so it makes me love them even more.

 

Ozma, they are out there, they can be rare, I think they are growing in number though, but they are out there, and should you find one, you can usually expect great RP, so good luck!

[V'aleera]

While I like how most Elezen of both sexes look, I would agree that they tend to fall into an uncanny valley look that most other races (except maybe femRoe) don't.

I decided to shy away from this archetype, because it's one I don't normally like in games to begin with. He has may have his jerk moments, but probably gets along with other races more than his own.

 

OOC I love to joke about Elezen superiority, but in reality it's not like that at all.

While I don't play up Mar being a huge jerk, he definitely has his tendencies here and there towards some of the races. Inter-racial relations for one still make him kinda go 'hrm...'

 

That said, if anything, he just turns on the "Mar snark" and is a polite a-hole.

[Swygynwyzn]

You're looking in the wrong places, hon. They're all over the place. Just make giraffe noises, they'll come running.

Oooh, I'd like to join! 

 

I have a trio of elezen characters; a stuffy wildwood (as pictured in my icon) and a pair of snarky duskwight siblings, one male and one female. My RP partner also plays a male duskwight~

 

It was definitely a little bit of a challenge to make a male elezen that looked really good to my own taste, so maybe that's part of it. But when someone gets them right, they really do look fantastic.

Here to break the stereotype that Elezen men are rare and that they are all gay:

Someone in need of elezen guys? Tynos the dusk in his snazzy new coat.

Admittedly, I'm one of the people who really tried to like elezen but just could not get into them- at all. I can't stand their proportions and I've tried to make them many times, male or female. Ultimately I can only like them if they are wearing heavy armor for some reason; I think it might just hide the proportion issues I have.

 

As for the yaoi-thing mentioned back; without getting too off topic and etc etc.

It really isn't... Focused on 'big burly men'.

Yaoi has various types, one is bishounen another is bara.

Bishounen would be considered under Midlander males, Miqo'te males, Elezen males, and in some part depending on the face Au Ra males.

While bara would be generally more Highlander males and Roe males.

So there's all sorts of diversity in that without saying more... Haha.

Cue thread explosion. And walking away without looking.

[Dis]

 

Aelden.  Male elezen.  Not entirely straight, more split down the middle, but a stronger female preference.  I actually really enjoy the male elezen model, and am surprised that some people find them awkward.  Admittedly, that might be the limb length that makes them look so.. strange to some.

Just made this guy and did some posing in Limsa to show him off.
