Roe and Elezen for an ego swell,
Miqo'te have a funny smell,
Hyur are as common as hell,
Your choice is simple......Lalafell!!!
Race Wars! My dilemma for a year now. [Opinions please!]

The Elezen looks better as a Warrior, but the Hyur Summoner is far superior. Tough call! I like Hyur better though... I agree with some others, the Elezen proportions are super weird. Noodle people.

Your Hyur has that dirty mustache and I'm not quite sure how anyone could have that thing on their face and the chopped up Elezen one isn't any better, but nothing in this game looks better than an Elezen.

First off I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your opinions and advice! Some were a lil' strayed off, but I still appreciate it either way haha. So I want to thank a few certain people though, who actually are the ones who showed me I've actually known my decision all along, one person in particular... that's right I've actually come to a decision, and it surprised me just because, I've always known the decision, just seems I simply forgot what it was.

Marik has been developed even before FFXIV:ARR. When I saw your comment, I was like "Wait a min, but Marik does have a story... that's right! I forgot all about that!" It was a moment of eureka!Quote:

Yamimarik: -WARNING-SPOILERS from FFXI story lines.
Yamimarik from FFXI was a Hume(Human type.)Quote:
I've decided to take an interesting turn for my Character. I'll be importing all my character back story from my FFXI character and do my own 1.0>2.0 type story.
Quick FFXI Backstory: Marik started out as a young adventurer just trying to get started in the world of Vana'diel. Going to prove his name as a top notch Red Mage! He practiced his white and black magic, while always keeping his sword skills and shield skills fresh in his mind and heart. Of course one day, he ran across some old books inside the library at Windurst. And discovered a book about "forbidden" magic. Summoning Magic! Realizing something so mysterious and so intriguing he wanted to learn more about this magic! So he trained hard as a Red Mage to prove to himself and others what he could do and unlock the mysteries of Summoning. Finally coming across a scared gem known as a "Carbuncle's Ruby" from fighting a nasty leech in Buburimu Peninsula. He took the gem straight to Windurst, to see if anyone knew how to unlock it's sacred powers. Finally arriving at the "House of the Hero"(knowing well that the legendary Karaha-Baruha once lived here, the famous Taru-Taru who summoned the great Fenrir!), a voice appeared before him. It was as if Carbuncle himself was speaking to him, what he needed to know. Fortunately Ajido-Marujido was there to interpret what the Terrestrial Avatar wanted... to shine the ruby in many different lights of all natures weather. Once the gem was unlocked... Marik set out to make a name for himself and the summoning arts as a good name, to restore Vana'diel's faith in Summoner's and the Avatars!
Many a fights, battles, lies, friends, companions, lovers, rivals, enemies, death, and life passed! And a strange "Maw" appeared before him in Rolanberry fields one day. Unsure of what this mysterious and decrepit maw held, he closely inspected it... the mighty Fenrir(his most prided companion.) out and ready at a moments noticed to defend and help him. Little did he know.. *"Yami"Marik now, that this decrepit cavernous maw would lead him to the last and most truth revealing, heart and soul shattering adventure of them all...
Back to Vana'diels past!!! That's where this maw lead too. After meeting his last companion of Vana'diel, even after his many adventures of defeating the Archduke and his elder brother... saving Vana'diel from Zilart rule. Helping the young and fiesty Prishe and her immortal life. Facing the Twilight god himself reincarnated... receiving the "mother's tear" straight from Altana herself... Losing many friends in the process... making many friends while fighting his way through the life of a Summoner. Discovering new lands, learning new magic, finding himself in the company of an Empress... restoring a fallen empire! Facing the Celestial Avatar of light himself! Encountering both the Celestial Avatar of Light and Dark and harnessing their powers! Exploring the cavernous maw more freely, finding yet another dimension of Vana'diel... a Vana'diel that did not defeat their Promathia when came to power... and their "Yami"Marik perished before Prishe's eyes! Restoring faith to "Abyssea". Finally it all leading to the final battle inside "Atomos" itself. With Lilisette's alternate self... Lady Lilith! Alone...(I actually did finally solo Lilith fight as a 95 SMN took so much grinding to get the gear I needed in order to figure out a proper solo strategy! Watched this one video of a Taru JP SMN doing it and I knew I had to figure out the fight solo!) with Lilisette at his side. Finally the Maiden of Dusk was down... but her play was not over! Quickly grabbing a hold of Lilisette absorbing her powers... she ascended! Lilith Ascended! Marik knew the fight of his life was upon him. To face his foe and friend all in one...
With the epic battle finally over... Lilisette and Lilith apart, Marik watched as Lilisette was transported to Lady Lilith's world, to her Vana'diel. Cait Sith assured him, he would be transported back to his own Vana'diel. Something strange happened though... he could feel it inside his heart and soul. Atomos was not taking him to his home... to his loved ones... to his Vana'diel. And like that he could feel himself no more... for what seemed an eternity he awoke. In a strange land... with strange garaments. Unable to summon any of his "Avatars" to guard him while he figured out what was happening. Quickly finding the nearest sign of civilization he realized he was an adventurer a new once again! Finding his place in this new world this "Hydaelyn" this "Eorzea" as a motherly figure told him once finding his way to "Gridania" he knew he must move on... to figure out the ways of this world. To seek out his former self, his "summoner" self in this strange world. He knew, like Lilisette, he would be trapped here... since the gateway was surely closed now. Allowing his true name to be how he was identified for the first time... "Marik Destiel" his adventure begins now...

Tried to translate what Marik looked like from his transportation from Vana'diel to Eorzea ^
I actually wrote that back in the beta forums, for a thread about character back stories.
Well it's clear to me now, always go with your first instinct. I love that Elezen are so amazing over here compared to the Elvaan. But I do believe my decision is to just stick with Hyur Marik. It's who I am, and who he is.
Thanks all for the help. I've been wracking my brain for about a year now, and I believe I can finally put it to rest.
