Does your character have any unfair Bias or Discrimination?

[Kage]

Recently chatting with friends while at work... We started to talk about our characters' biases towards certain races.

 

For example:

 

Kage dislikes femRoes. Every single one of them has either turned out crazy or the first few meetings he's had with them were "omg she's crazy too?!"

2 of them actively tried to kill him, kidnap him, hold him hostage.... one unintentionally shanked him while she ran away.

 

He also doesn't like lancers much. They have also tried to kill him. Also, sword users tend to be at a small disadvantage against pole arms :c

[Xydane Vale]

Well... Xydane hates every single race equally. Does that count?

[Kage]

Well... Xydane hates every single race equally. Does that count?

Hyur master race or he hates himself too?

[Chika Ito]

Well I don't know if this counts, but Chika was once asked her preferences on romantic partners and races. She doesn't like Lalafells because they look too much like a kid, and Roes could break her. Outside of that, however, Elezen. She dislikes a lot of Elezen because the ones she has come across have been stuck up (She was once helping serve at a party, a male Elezen treated her like she was worth dirt and a slave. She put raptor piss in his drink )

Unfortunate experience has taught Ros that the blood in Seeker males usually tends to only flow in one direction.

Ros didn't get to meet Kage long enough that one.. time... >.> *whistles*

Crai.

 

She thought he was adorable too. :lol:

 

Pls Nat no.

It's ok. Nat doesn't care.

 

Edit: but now the failed experiment has worn off. lol

[Aya]

Aya doesn't think highly of proper Ishgardians (i.e. those who are members of, or work for the Houses, Dragoons, anyone involved with the Church, etc), that extends somewhat generally to Wildwood Elezen.

[C'kayah Polaali]

C'kayah doesn't like Roegadyn, males or female. The irony of his employment by a Sea Wolf gang is not lost on him.

 

He's fairly biased against Moonkeepers at this point, too, with very few exceptions (Hi Suri! Hi Liana!). When he was younger he listened to the stories his maternal grandmother (a Moonkeeper) would tell him and thought favorably of them. Now, after long association, he thinks that most are crazier than a bag of cats and understands fully why grandma left her clan to join grandpa's tribe.

 

He could take or leave Lalafell, too.

 

He does like a few Duskwights, though he hasn't met many Wildwood Elezen he likes.

 

He can count the Hyur he cares for on the fingers of one hand. Even after an unfortunate accident.

 

Traditional Seekers aren't the greatest in his mind, either.

 

I guess you'd say he likes the people he likes, and doesn't really care for the rest of them. 

[Berrod Armstrong]

/WHIPS OUT THE LIST

 /watches it roll down the street

 

I'll take three I guess...

 

Berrod objectifies women in a manner that makes him see them as legs, boobs and hips before anything else. He'll hardly look upon a woman respectfully until he's interacted with her. He shares a similar sentiment toward men, but he is likely to respect them on at least hearsay.

 

Living on the streets of Ul'Dah has given him a measure of distaste toward well-off Lalafell. He believes them to be scheming, lying and two-timing little bastards that will screw over anyone to get what they want. He even thinks Momodi may have an agenda.

 

HE HATES SWEETS. Damn he hates sweets.

[Unnamed Mercenary]

HE HATES SWEETS. Damn he hates sweets.

 

Note to self: Send Berrod a cake. And some tea to go with it.

Well then, I guess it's a good thing kage was dis-inherited.

[Aya]

He even thinks Momodi may have an agenda.

Of course Momodi has an agenda!  "Make as much gil from these grubby adventurer's as possible!"

 

*says the set of measurements*

[Verad]

Verad has a hell of a time telling Lalafell genders apart. He tries to avoid cold pitching to Lalas because of this unless context clues have given him a clear sense of which pronoun to use, because nothing will shut down a sale faster than using the wrong one.

 

He is extremely partial to femRoes, to such an extent that it can and will cloud his better judgment, which is why he recently accepted some voidsent blood and other, more unpleasant, thaumaturgical bits and bobs as possible sale-able items.

[Lillith Cale]

Hmm, I hope these count.

 

Lillith has a far amount of bitterness towards Elezen men. Though she was adopted and raise by Elezen parents (whom she adores) she had her heart broken by an Elezen whom was her best friend up until that point. He said he could never love her because he had a preference for Elezen women. Her bitterness hasn't been helped by the fact that most Elezen she seems to run into these day take no interest in her what so ever, even with her playful flirting.

 

She also has an issue with Miqo'te who are preachy about their culture. She has no interest in learning about or involving herself with the beliefs and cultures of her 'true' people. She's more than happy living her life by the Gridanian values she was raised with.

[OttoVann]

Well for the longest time I would never touch a Miqo. Fem-Miqs to this day are largely generic and I rarely care for them. Lately though as my slut ways have grown Ill bring them around.

 

I still do think less of most Miq males too if only because for better or worse the large portion of IC interactions I have had with them were...stupid. A lot of Miq males think of themselves as anime-powered hot-shit with wolverine claws and true ultimate power that can raze a city and are more than willing to pick a fight. Maybe Im too down to earth in my roleplay but when my arms are as thick as their waists...like really dawg? Get off me catboy. Though thats not to say all Miq-Males are viewed as awful people, I just have a bias towards them from running into all the wrong ones.

 

Id still be gay for Shonji.

[Coatleque]

This is a tough one since Coatleque's position requires her to remain impartial to most everyone. I guess I could say she's learning to hate adventurers.

 

In her career history now she's been

- catcalled

- vomited on

- dumped wine on

- spit on

- rudely shoved out of the way

- falsely accused

- laughted at, argued with, or just plain ignored.

 

So yeah. Bloody adventurers. Bunch of drunken reprobates.

[Mithril Specs]

Badr's generally pretty good at not letting her biases show too much, but at times she can have a pretty curt attitude towards Gridanians and refuses to stay within the actual city any longer than she needs to. The origin of it all mostly boils down to her family being a small, self-sustaining group of hunters and tanners that refused to give up on their traditions - one can imagine how well that went.

 

Besides that, she can be outright unfair and callous towards people that she perceives to be ignorant and can have trouble accepting that not everyone has had as much access to all kinds of knowledge as she did - well and that people make honest mistakes without any malice.

 

As far as Logan goes, she has a hard time understanding highly pious people. As much as she dislikes the brutality her countrymen commit to spread their ideals - which, among other reasons made her desert in the end - she was still born and raised Garlean. Which makes it hard for her to trust any beastmen, even if she's aware that not all are primal-worshipping warmongers. Old habits die hard.

 

And anyone who dislikes garlic cannot be trusted. Naw man, that's some serious business.

Sounds like she needs a hug, holy crap. D:

[FreelanceWizard]

Oh yes. L'yhta is full of unfair biases. She thinks tribal miqo'te are either uneducated submissives, subjected to a barbaric culture, who need to be "broken free" from the "chains" of their society (if a male Keeper or female Seeker) or are abusive perpetuators of the same (if a female Keeper or male Seeker). She despises those who she feels contribute to the "sexualization of miqo'te," such as miqo'te dancers and prostitutes and those who frequent them. She also has considerable distaste for "fanatic cultists," which her mind includes Ishgardians, Garleans, and sometimes Gridanians, depending on how often they like to whip out "but it's the will of the Elementals" to justify their actions.

 

She's just a big ol' ball of biases, which she'll readily demonstrate when one of them is provoked.

 

EDIT: Oh, yeah, she also strongly dislikes most beast tribes. She'll have nothing to do with the "fishbacks" and only works with the Brotherhood of Ash for mutual gain (i.e., interfering with the Amalj'aa of Southern Thanalan). Other than the sylphs and goblins (and, on some days, the kobolds), she typically views beastmen as surprisingly intelligent beasts who like to play with powers they can't possibly comprehend. She still thinks in the back of her mind and in darker moments that, maybe, just maybe, Eorzea would be better off with a few fewer beast races...

+1 to giving Crofte more respect.

 

 

I think I know exactly which adventurers these are. Good thing they don't know Franz is Garlean. ...among other things.

[Eva]

Eva's father was quietly biased against miqo'te (albeit not openly since he was for a long time a business man).  Some of this imprinted itself onto her in a sense.  While I wouldn't call Eva racist in any capacity, she carries certain traditional values about family and a 1:1 individual heterosexual partner relationship.  While she is a generation-and-a-half removed from her original upbringing, these values are still important to her, and she has observed that the values of many miqo'te whom she has known seem to be quite different.  She is far more accepting of this than her father was, but there is a sense of wariness, and while far from a haughty character, she may sort of look down on those who are particularly promiscuous or of looser moral fiber, even if that is what is dictated by their tribal customs or such.

 

She is also initially wary of most new Wildwoods she meets.  This is not because she dislikes them.  Rather she grew up a Duskwight in Gridania and assumes many of them may be prejudiced against her.

I definitely argued with you months ago when I RP'd that fight with my buddy Cerii.

 

Can I take you to dinner to make up for it?

C'kayah is very fond of Coatleque. She's taken him from merely well off all the way to obscenely wealthy in one fell swoop! :angel:
