Seeker of the Sun Nunh + Keeper of the moon

[ShirKirakira]

I've been thinking about this a bit, especially with the social structure of the tribes.

Sun Miqo'te have a large population of males that are forced into celibacy.
Moon Miqo'tes have a small population of males due to low birthrate.
Females of both tribes would have a limited selection of males.

From a genetics standpoint, wouldn't these tribes begin to get really inbred after awhile? And can a Moon and Sun Miqo'te produce viable offspring? And how would such offspring be treated by the respective tribes? (And would be they physically healthier due to more diverse genetics?) It might not matter what we name our mixed breed Miqo'tes, if neither tribe will accept them.

Then there are the Miqo'tes that we the players get. Are they actual members of tribes, or are they outcasts? You think that a Miqo'te member of a Grand Company would be much more liberal in their views that one of the more traditional tribe members. (We probably won't know the full story behind this until 2.0 is released to the public).

But my opinion...I wouldn't be surprised if the Grand Companies were filled with Miqo'tes of both tribes and genders who were fed up with both social systems and decided to try their fortune elsewhere. You would probably have Sun males who would like to mate with someone without taking their life into their own hands (or maybe experiment with other species, heh) and Moon males who are probably tired of being under their mother's or sisters' thumbs all the time. You might have liberal Sun females who would like a single mate they don't have to share (like other races do, i.e. have a spouse) or can't stand their current tribe's Nunh; Moon females who might like a bigger mate selection in general. You might also have the rare deposed Nunh who didn't want to continue living among his tribe as a demoted Tia.

Big cities would be perfect places for these Miqo'tes to mix, and I doubt other of the races like Hyur, Lalafell, Roe, and Elezen would care if Moon and Sun cats were intermixing. It would be the perfect place for them to start using alias as well.
