But am willing to roleplay with you whenever we both get our characters made, even if you are not in Gridania (Travelers can go anywhere :3) Sadly I won't be tribal if that is what you were wanting.

Though he's tense when dealing with other miqos. That said it's possible your character and mine come from the same tribe. I know his tribe is Thanalan based but I havent set other details in stone. So maybe we can bounce ideas around or not? I dunno.

My character, Y'lani, is fairly tribal and still continues to visit her tribe while she lives in Ul'dah to train at the Pugilists Guild. She is the type to feel pity for Miqo'te who have lost or ran away from their tribes, because she adores hers. Her tribe is a sector of the Jaguar tribe, located in Southern Thanalan. I like to think it puts a great weight on fighting and breeding, so most bad omens would come from anything that interferes with thise two things. (Just an example of one tribal Miqo'te. There are many more out there, I promise! You'll find a lot in roleplay situations.)

I'm completely willing to offer Y'lani for any roleplay connections, should you ever be interested. Good luck on Balmung, and creating your character! I always think that's the most fun part of a game.

Ok, so, hello! There are some things that I can tell you that might help you decide stuff.Firstly, don't fret too much about tribe. Choose one that sounds most cool to you, and fits the background you want. Being from the Drake tribe for example will not effect your connections more that being from the Eft tribe (or any other tribe). Unless, of course, you join a group of players who RP together as part of the same exact tribal group. However, there are not too many of those.

Secondly, just want to make sure you know there is no evidence to say there are tribes -in- Ul'dah. The Drake tribe is in Forgotten Springs, Southern Thanalan, not the city of Ul'dah.

Thirdly, there is RP in Gridania and the Twevleswood, but it is not always easy to find. My FC is a group of Miqo'te (mostly Keepers) who are trying to make some semblance of a unified culture in the new era. We are from the Twelveswood, and wish to return home one day ICly, but live in the Goblet with another FC right now.

That is an example of how RP has taken us down an unexpected path.

If I may offer you advise based on my own experiences. Feel free to take or leave any of it.

*Make a vague background with plenty of room to add things as you go, and adjust things later.
*Give your character a reason to be anywhere.
*Don't limit yourself to only Miqo'te connections. That can be fun, but it can also be fun being a Miqo'te around those who are not.
*Don't have your character share too much of her past until you are sure it is something you won't want to change (or have to change) later.

Examples of what I did with my character:

*She was from a Keeper group in the Twelveswood.
*Her family was one of the two families in the group.
*Calamity weakened and reduced the Shroud, so the group needed to branch out and learn more about other lands and resources.
*They sent scouts into the rest of Eorzea, and my character was one of them.
*Eventually I came up with a reason for them to disband so I could have my character join a FC of Moon-keepers.
*My character's story is now overlapping and linked with the stories of many other Miqo'te and non-Miqo'te characters.

Now I have put great detail and complexity into her back-story and origin. I added to it as I went. I never changed the core of it, but had to learn what worked lore-wise and make it fit with on-going story with other characters.

I must admit that I have been crafting her past as I have been discovering her future. However, it worked out well because you just never know where you might want to add something to the past that can tweak opportunities in the future.

Yes, I went a bit nuts with this post. You will find that I do that. Welcome to the RPC...

Well, my character Adeya is a miqo'te and was raised by a fairly traditional (and isolationist) Keeper clan. However, she has since pretty much cut all ties with them. She also rather dislikes traditional miqo'te culture (and is perfectly willing to debate people on the matter).While she usually hangs out in Limsa, she does spend time in Ul'dah and to a much lesser extent Gridania, so just let me know if you'd like the two to meet up.

Hello there I am the FC leader for a Keeper Clan, the Morbolvine Clan. And we actually do take in others who are not Keepers as \\\\\"employees" for what ever reason... weather it be for work or that they are looking for a place to be. We RP in both the Shroud/Gridania and Thanalan/Ul'dah mostly. And we currently live in Lavender Beds.If you want to read up on us here is a link to our LS.
