Why you decided on your race (lore perspective)

[ShienSarvong]

If I'd begun playing with A Realm Reborn, I probably would have gone Roegadyn, but by the time I was offered a complete reroll, I'd grown far too attached to my knife-eared giraffe.

Elezen are very easy to fill with hilarious melodrama. I would go so far as to suggest that of the five playable races, the Elezen (especially the Duskwight) are the most intrinsically angst-ridden, with lore rooted in bitter turf wars over pride and prejudice. I know that tons of angst gets tiresome pretty easily, but it has always made me laugh.

Funnily enough, I had similar thoughts with my lady.
She's currently stuck as a Midlander (still waiting on those fantasias), but my initial intention was for her to be "cute" so that I wouldn't get sick of playing her, but after finally learning about the Hyur race's lore, and lack of lore, I started pecking around and fell for the Elezan.

Sooo, I did the rename/server move trick with my girl to give her a lore friendly name, built her in the character creator to save, and wrote a wonderfully melodramatic background full of love, racial prejudice, and Coerthas.

And, man, are Elezan fun to write for~
