[Idea] Race: Allagan

We're all forgetting one crucial evidence. Can synthetic beings even be a chosen of Hydaelyn?

...Can Hydaelyn even understand the workings of Allagan creations? They are, of course, far beyond human reckoning. (and on a serious note, that's just the tip of the iceberg from the lore perspective of having allagan creations being playable, moreso than Au'ra)

A cyborg race.. Intriguing.

More android then cyborg but yes. =D

It's the Allagan Empire not the Allagan race.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a mech/android/cyborg race. I would switch to it SO FAST

Biggest difference between Elezen and an Allagan construct is Elezen weren't made to kill Dragons and plenty of them don't give a darn. An Allagan construct would be built without any notions of free will with the focus of upholding the empire in mind, there's no way the Allagan's would construct something that didn't have the same "Use dragons as batteries" idealogy that the Allagan's themselves had.

Just for fun, let's say the Allagans ran into the problem of their people being "tempered" by the primals, but figured out a way to deal with it. Unfortunately, this involved sucking the victim's soul out of the body and "filtering" it through unaspected crystals, before storing it in a "core" that could be inserted into an artificial body. It could even have been a voluntary process, undergone to allow them to resist tempering while attempting to deal with the primals. The devices to accomplish this would
likely still exist, somewhere amongst the secrets of Azys Lla or another of the Allagan's research facilities still undiscovered.
I should think having your soul trapped in a crystal sphere might even allow Hydaelyn to speak with you quite easilly.

It's not like the existing races have all that much variety...

Lallafel: Hyur child.
Roe: Hyur that played football in college.
Elf: Hyur on basketball team.
Cat: Hyur with cuter animations and strap on cosplay ears.
Au: Hyur with tattoo fetish.

Much as I want something more different, and I once read that even Yoshi wanted the next race to be more different (when he rejected bunnygirls right after launch)... the expac seems to show they're now fine with all races basically being 'Star Trek Aliens'...

Think it also steps on the lore's feet by allowing them to all of a sudden come back. They are a dead civilization. Having them all of a sudden come back from the dead would just trample on the current lore. What is dead should stay dead.

That's only the royalty, commoners don't have red eyes.
