I like Hyur because, well, in a game with a lot of fantastic race options they're the average everyman. I feel like my FC and parties are more diverse when I'm just kind of this average guy. I dont think I'll change to Au Ra when they come out, just for that reason. Even if they do look really cool...

Lorewise, I actually originally had him look close to my old character in XI. I like to think of him as a descendant of the original Darske, who took up adventuring to travel the world and grow from it like his predescessor.
