Stereotypes of Eorzea

[Natsuki]

the night elf hunters are nice !

[Silkerin]

hum....

• Hyur Midlanders:
- males, sorry to say but... usually pretty generic and plain... kinda good looking but not really eyecatching... they would be the protagonist in a harem style anime, so they go that going for them XD basically average
- females, kinda the same as the males but prettier, mostly cute and quiet, they would be that cute quiet girl you like, but cant say you do in front of others because everyone else is drooling over that elezen girl over there and you dont want to be left out. they would be that one strangely attractive nerdy girl in teenage movies that suddenly turn into a beauty.

• Hyur Highlanders:
- males... these are divided in 2 ... first one is like PROTEIN OOH YEAAAH!! GIMME MORE CARBS!!, and so on... want to be the leader and focus of the attention; "if you dont like me i will make you fear me instead", the jocks that think are better than all other males but in the end is very insecure. And the other kind is the actual athletes, you know... love sports, sportmanship and fairness, very competitive but also ready to stand up to friends.
- the girls though, the same as the males, divided in 2 groups, one is like GURL POWA! and such, despite the apperance they are not really that into violence and are actually very delicate and feminine. the second is the ahtletes as well, simple as the male ones.


• Miqote Seekers of the Sun:
- the guys are like: "man i am so cool..." but in the end they just want attention, especially becuase they are always in the shadow of the females of their race. in important/dangerous situations they will be the first to act, but not always succeed beucase they didnt really put much thought before acting, but in the end if they looked like a hero in front of others is all good.
- the girls are sassy and provocative, you want them and they know it. they use skimpy outfits not only just because of apperance and showing their guns, but also becuase they just cant stay put, being energetic they just want to run around and do some pranks.

• Miqote Keepers of the Moon:
- males are almost the same as the seekers, but insted of going for the cool hero look, instead chose to go to the loved bad guy road.
- now the girls... they are the aloof, airheads, lazy and strange, you look at them and think: "wth are they doing?" and just cant take your eyes from them. they also use skimpy outfits but at this point i think it is just because they chose the outfit that is easier to wear. 2 good examples of what they would be in other midias is Osaka from azumanga daioh and Luna from harry potter.


• Roegadyn Sea Wolves:
- these guys are also divided in 2 groups, one is the well know gentle giants, big but very caring. the other are the are just simple minded muscle head brutes that try to look the protector everyone wants and needs.
- the girls are the also divided, but not into different groups, just different situations, basically they go from one to the other when the situation calls it; they just want to enjoy life and have a good time without worrying too much, very laidback and sometimes untidy and slovenly. But when needed they are just like sarehptar mentioned, the Onee-sans of the world, they are calm and collected but very doting of their little brother/sister *being you*, there for you, rooting and protecting you. Kinda like Misato from Evangelion.

• Roegadyn Hellsguard:
- As oposed of their Seawolf counterpart, the hellsguard male are mostly just big and scary, just like the seawolfs, they want you to think you need to be protected and he will do it either you want it or not, and you willing to pay for it or not... even if you dont need it. And if you really dont want his protection, he will make you want to give your money to him as a sign of gratitude of him not pummeling you.
- now for the ladies, they are the scary kind of Onee-san, they will bully you, take of your clothes and leave you naked in the middle of nowhere. Fashion is something they have an interesting in, especially the cute stuff, but they cant be seen like that or else they will lose the imposing respect from others, or so they think. Maybe in the end is just their way to show affection? I personaly like to imagine them like the Rogues and Stalkers from Ragnarok Online.


• Elezen Wildwood:
- "Heh, i am so handsome *combs hair back*"; that basically sums up most of males. They might might they are the next hot thing on the planet since Bahamut, but in the end... they might be? it depends on the eyes of the beholder i guess, since so many girls indeed love to gawk at them. But as i said, MOST, the others try to be like that as well, but fail in the end due their lankyness mixed with clumsyness.
- Posh, Rich, Fit, Fashion, Shoes! They are basically Posh Spice from Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham. Pretty attractive, super model-like, some might think they are very superficial and materialistic, and that they indeed are, but they also crave for a true love like from fairy tales. Of course from time to time you have that one country bumpkin girl that is super pretty but really down to earth and not stuck up, who doenst mind doing the work other girls would turn their nose up to, even if it is considered a men´s job.

• Elezen Duskwight:
- the males are almost the same as the wildwood males, but in a different way, instead of thinking they themselves are the best thing ever, they think everything around them is inferior and despicable and if you disagree you better prove it. In regards to themselves, they dont really think they are better than everyone else, even though their way of thinking makes people believe it is so. And differently from Hellsguard femroes, no.. this is not their way to show affection.
- Strange, Dark, Mysterious and Pretty. The girls think like the male Duskwights do, but not so openly and aggressively, keeping most to themselves. They also do not think you should prove it to her, but if you do you will get extra points with her. They look mostly uninterested in everything to who sees her, and she most likely is uninterested in anything actually...


• Lalafell Plainsfolk:
- Males usually aspire to have a mix of cool, handsome and wild look, usually acompanied of some sort of facial hair. they are impatient and very ON YOUR FACE kind of guys, "you will do the way i say to or else...*. Perverted? but of course! every Lala is, after all they see loads of undergarments allday everyday, and sometimes recognise others first by their underwear and then their faces... and dont like to be petted... dont you dare!
- Anime girls, that is what sums up the cute girls. every single personality that an anime girl ever had, the female lalas will have. Cute, Relaxed, Prankster, Fierce, Playful, Serious, Shy, Outgoing, TSUNDERE etc. They basically have the most extreme case of mood swings ever known. these girls are very energetic/hyperactive and cant really stay put even in front of fierce primals. Petted? mixed feelings all around, just try your luck, you might get an happy lala or a hand bitten.

• Lalafell Dunesfolk:
- Males, they are the underdog, the introverted kid you think as weak, but as he stand up to his agressors you root for him. You might even want to try to help him but he will most likely stop you. He will also help those who need at all costs, even if he gets himself covered in bruises. You can pet him whenever you want, even if he doesnt like it he probably wont do anything harmful to stop you.
- "You are too Shy Shy, hush hush ♪", this covers most of it. Cute and shy, innocent and teary, passionate and delicate, these are some of the qualities this lala will have, gets happy and pleased very easily but hurt just as easy. The right girl to love or the perfect victim to abuse... what will you choose? Also.. love to be petted, just go for it.

Hyur(M) females are well... idk honestly... I don't know many on personal or acquaintance levels.
Hyur(M) males are well... let's face it... we're the "master race." Derplander (FFXIV's face/posterboy) is a midlander. We usually are the best bunch of guys! Stylish, sweet, cute, and have great all around personalities. We truly are the best!!! (Take that all you Hyur haters out there!)

Shhh....of course we are, Hyur girls actually have butts.....let all those other races think "they" are the master race, they'll never know what hit them....

[Talia_Hailwind]

Except the tanks. Tank lalas are pretty chill.

[AkashiXI]

From what I've gathered, the race the poster is associated with = positive traits, Elezen = arrogant and cocky, Cats = male, regardless of gender, Roes = bros, Hyurs = you're not original if you lack muscle, you are if you have no eyebrows, and Lalafells are perverts who are also lolicon.


Ugh.

[Amenian]

Lalafell males = Majestic
Lalafell females = Creepy
Hyur both genders = snoozefest
BroRoe = Bros and will always have your back.
FemRoe = They are rare, but they are my favourite female + race combo, somehow every FemRoe that I have met were pretty good players and very kind.
Catman = Males are bossy and very impulsive, they are know what they want and dont care for the opinion of others.
Catwoman = Horrible movie...oooh they are a pain to be honest, I have met some that amazing, my FC are full of them, but when you see how the female miqotes behave on this forum.... almost all of the female miqotes that I have met are male in real life.

I think I got all the races. I liked this thread.

What? No elezen?

[Leowilde]

What? No elezen?

Who cares, they have nothing nice to say about us anyway. /sigh

[Talia_Hailwind]

Who cares, they have nothing nice to say about us anyway. /sigh

Female Elezen = Elegant, I see so much beautiful Lady Elf's around e.e Not to mention they always have such amazing glamours (The folk I know anyway.)

;_; I hear nice things.

[Leowilde]

;_; I hear nice things.

Aye, but no love for the handsome glamours of male elezen. I cry on the inside.
NAY! I tell you; wisdom! Sympathy! Hmm... what else was there... oh yes! The aaawesomeness.

[Risvertasashi]

Aye, but no love for the handsome glamours of male elezen. I cry on the inside.
NAY! I tell you; wisdom! Sympathy! Hmm... what else was there... oh yes! The aaawesomeness.

To be fair, your portrait is seriously scary. XD
