Because while I main a lalafell, I also have four other roegadyn characters who aren't going to be represented at all, and I feel like race statistics are going to be a little skewed as a result.
Hah! Like I mentioned upstream, the first two questions were the toughest. XD My 'main' is my gameplay main, not the one I rp with the most... which was I to pick? #altoholicproblems. xD

I would assume that you'd answer these questions as your primary RP character, not necessarily your PVE one.

I've spent too long with the mind-set of "well, which do you play (have played) the most?" as indicative of which is the "main", so I went with that.
Now I'm curious though, just how many here stick with one character? I imagine it's easier in many aspects... you don't have to worry over who goes to which event, you wouldn't have those "ARG, X Character would SO be in on that RP right now!" when you pass by a convo, and probably have a much easier time remembering story arcs. >.>;
I have spent years fighting the concept of a "main" character and "main" class since playing multiples of each are really what I love most about this game.
(Why I tried to squeeze three in under my profile picture over thar. <--- ) Just counting RP time, I would guess they are equal with Tin being slightly ahead of Ralin, but I had to go with Valia for the census using overall playtime as my marker. It's cool, there'll be other censuses (censi?) I'm sure.

Bam. All done. #TeamDuskie
RE: Official RPC Census 2016 - Caspar - 04-26-2016
Were I to play more, I'd probably shift my main after the conclusion of a major story that featured the previous one. But I'm not super confident in the amount of time I would have to level multiple alts as I'd wish. As they are, they exist solely as NPC concept at the moment so I can only really be said tp have one character. I intend to focus on Virara until I need a change of pace after the conclusion of stories from others and myself involving her.

Added to the Miqo'te pool.

It was brought up somewhere else but I want to clear it up.
For the last question and the answers, I'm assuming that the intent is to interpret the first answer as "I roleplay the MSQ as the Warrior of light or in a party of Warriors of Light." ?
RE: Official RPC Census 2016 - Warren Castille - 04-26-2016
"Everything that happens in the MSQ happens to my character" seems pretty straightforward to me, but maybe an indication of "Yes, the WoL's story is my story" could help clear it up. The way I interpreted it was
*I'm the Warrior of Light
*I acknowledge the story but I don't affect it
*lol whats lore

Pretty much this.
Also, responses have already doubled. We're now sitting at close to 120 valid respondents. Thanks all and keep it coming!

Everything in the story happens to my character because everything in the story may affect my character.
The earthquake in Taiwan of 2004 happened to me because I sent money to my family. To have something happen does not mean it has to have directly been experienced.
They all occurred and were experienced in some way or form.
I asked because I interpreted it correctly but I have seen it be questioned more than once already.

I was a little sad to see that there was no Medic/Healer option for the question about how characters support themselves.... guess I'm going with other.

There wasn't an option for Performer/Entertainer, either. The closest one was mercenary.
Considering the number of performer-based guilds that have greatly emerged in 2016, I see it as an omission.

You're overthinking this.
Someone fought Ultima Weapon. Someone fought Shiva. Someone fought Thordin. If you did it, because the story that happens in game is your story, then you click the first one. If you were there when it happened, you click the first one.
If someone else did it, you click the second one.
