Male Au Ra

[Ashkendor]

This is exactly why I ended up keeping my femroe, despite how awesome it would be to be a demoness. I don't know why SE insists on these cute little monster girls, but this whole xpac in general is so male-centric as it is I don't think we can ever hope for equal representation at all, much less in our avatars.

Simply put, they made it that way because that's what people want to play. If you look at the distribution before Au Ra, female Roegadyn were one of the least played character race/gender combinations and female Miqo'te (and female Hyur for that matter) was one of the most common. SE came to the conclusion that large buff women aren't what the playerbase in general wants and tiny cute waifu material is. It has nothing to do with being "male-centric". There are plenty of females that like having a small cute female avatar. I have to admit I was a little disappointed in the "cute monster girl" Au Ra, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to go all tumblr social justice on the place.

You know, my first instinct when I started his game was to create a femroe. And then I realized that I could, with the Elezen, create a male character that is actually handsome, for once, instead of being limited to "badass" which usually just means 47 variants of angry square faces with buzzcuts. So then for a while I was seriously torn - do I "represent" as a woman, or do I make a character that I just love to look at? And then I discovered that you could dress the men as skimpily as the women, and the rest is history... XD

That being said, if the Au Ra women had been tall and fierce like the men instead of small and dainty I would have been one now.

*sigh* people are never happy, can't you just be happy with what we got I know I am I am very pleased with how my Au ra turned out.

I think I'm done with these forums reading them depress's me all I see is moan after moan after moan.

As Wolfyboy noted, what would you do if you couldn't get your Au Ra to look how you want? Heck its kinda rude to look at someone's complaints and devalue then like that, have a little empathy please.

You know the reason why males are so long I bet "it" is enjoying,,, a lot!

Their resting face does seem scowl-y. I mostly like Au Ra but I predict I will be going back to Duskwight fairly soon.

especially in curscenes where they smile only to revert back to scowling immediately afterwards. it's kinda weird

Might just be me, but I feel like you're getting ready to slap someone.

I blame the brow scales.

I dunno.. He looks pretty sweet to me, like the guy who'd be all apathetic looking but try his best to cheer you up!
