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.
Are you just knowingly leaving out Highlanders, Roe, and Hrothgar? For sake of argument, fine let's leave out Hrothgar. Highlanders are both tall, and muscular, and fit your "tall, rough, and non-assuming" descriptor. Roe would also fit this description, but they are more broad than highlanders. The statement that male viera would bring "manlyness", or "balance", to tall males, is ridiculous, in my opinion.

Also, for that matter, if we are going to base the assumed look of male viera off of this concept art - one those feet are a no go - they have bestial looking faces in comparison to the female shown. Is a more bestial look something male viera supporters want?
