Poll: will you switch to Au Ra?

http://strawpoll.me/4569481

Created a poll to see to get an idea if a lot of people will switch to Au Ra or keep their current race.

Nope.
Once a Miqo'te always a Miqo'te.

If they separate the horns and faces, then I probably will. Until then... nope.

[EDIT] Holy crap, I'm getting likes. SHAMELESS REMOVE-HORN-FROM-FACE-THREAD PROMOTION, GO!

Ofc, the master race.

Let's just say the last generation of Miqo'te had an overbreeding problem.

yes a thousand times over
the elezen life was nice but its time to move on

The only temptation to switch is cause the male Au Ra have wicked awesome hair. But still nope. CAT POWER.

Yes, day one!

Does it count if I intend to switch between the two? >.>

Heck to the Yeah, got my magic potion gathering dust as we speak.

Nope, I personally think Au'ra are too lazily designed for me to switch.

There should be a poll to see male and female repartition.

If the height of an average Au Ra was 2'-3'? Maybe.

As it stands, my alt is likely going to make the switch. I've changed my main's race to Miqote and back, and then to Hyur and back. In the end, it just feels wrong not being a Tarufell...

Nah i will remain highlander hyur :)

Maybe... I'm leaning toward a YES but I want to try them in-game before changing to one. There is always the risk of having that one small insignificant thing that ruins the whole race to me so I won't change until I made sure I really want to.

Staying kitty, the fact that most Au Ra faces look like there half asleep didn't help.

Yes, in a heartbeat.

Definitely. I really wanna be one.

I am yes. Too many cat folks running around and demon/lizard type race is what I'd usually choose anyway :)

Please look forward to it.

Race Loyalty

Roe: 70,2%
Lala: 64,2%
Elezen: 49,8%
Hyur: 45,7%
Miqo: 42,4%

Undecided. I love the race and would like to switch, but the horns locked to the face and the strong attachment to my Miqo'te may hold me back.

Such pretty art in your signature. *pets your art* o3o

I've 100% decided to switch to Au Ra.

Too attached to my character to even consider. Be weird for me just changing her to Au'Ra.

Since highlanders are already the best race, no I will not be switching. I understand if any midlanders want to race change, but they'd be better served by switching to highlanders which really ought to have their own race category to avoid being dragged down by their puny midlander cousins.

Yes I will switch, but I would be alot happier if we could pick our own face + horn combo.

I'm switching because it's a natural progression. I started as a Hyur, with white hair, red eyes, pale skin, and red tribal markings. I wanted a more evil, demonic look, so I recreated my character, as close to the original as possible, but as an Elezen, with long pointy ears, and very dark grey skin. Next step in the evolution, again looks very similar to my current character, but with horns and a tail.

Still set on going Au Ra. Now just patiently waiting for naming conventions. :)

my main Miqo'te? never.
my healer alt? Yep.

I keep trying to like Au Ra, but I just can't seem to. The females look alright, but the males have such odd facial proportions. They have long faces that look unnaturally stretched and their eyes are so narrow and close together. I know there was an intent with having them designed this way to have dragon/reptile like features, but I'm not particularly fond of the result. All I can see is a failed Muppet expiriment.

Also, the horns not being separate from the face is pesky.

The Au RA males look amazing what're you talking about?

Nope, but I did make this guy for your viewing pleasure :P

I don't think so. I was so excited for the benchmark, but after trying it out I was just really disappointed with the female Au Ra. The default expression is so lifeless, and I couldn't come up with anything I loved.

I'll probably make an alt for fun, but I doubt I'll be changing from elezen. I like being tall too much!

"Once a Miqo'te, ALWAYS a Miqo'te." ------> Totally agree.

I was debating it, then some fine people on these very forums advised me against it.

Only if the male has muscle like highlander.

no i will stick with my female hyur because big boobs ;p

Never. Not rolling one either - the females are far too petite and cutesy looking and I find the males to be repulsive.

No. The Au Ra just aren't what I had hoped for in a draconoid race.
