Just like female Viera brought good balance to the tall females in the game, so will male Viera bring that semblance of manlyness to the tall males in the game. The thing about male Au ra is that they have this very specific look to them; thin waist, wide hips, lizard/gecko run animation and that awkward "living on the edge" air about them (think Dark Knight quest giver Sidurgu or Magnai). Male Elezen on the other hand are nerds, very much the proud elf trope. Male Viera would be able to stand firmly as neither a nerd not an edgelord. They would be tall, rough, and non-assuming.

This official sketch of them really brings that non-assuming look I believe they will be like.


For me, more than any of the current males they really pull off the "protector" type very well.
