Raen Or Xaela

[Limonia]

Lore wise, I find the Xaela more interesting. If the female Xaela horns and scales were black or purplish black instead of blue, maybe I would play one. But I really don't like the blue color of the scales, the female Raen scales have a prettier color.
It's the opposite for males though. On males I really like the Xaela scale color but not the Raen scales.

Raen! Glory to our Dawn Father!

The grey skin tone works better with bright scales. Less demonic, but more ghostly ^^. Xaelas dark scales are too dominant in my opinion. And i like the calm and solitude (non-nomadic) lifestyle of the Raen.

With Stormblood, i would like to see, if there are any cultural differences between Raen and Xaela ; )

I like both, I started my first character as Xaela on a different server, but switched servers and didn't want to spend the money to transfer (only played a couple hours, after all), then didn't realize I could use the same name on different servers, so switched to Raen and name to match. My original idea, I kept as an alt though.

I enjoy both of their looks.

My Au Ra alt is a Xaela, mostly because the white scales look like a bad rash or other skin condition.

It's horrible on dark skin lmfao.
I liked Raen for the lore but Xaela is better aesthetically.

Raen. Pretty much just cuz on my Au Ra the scales looked nicer with my darker skin tone. I prefer the white scales mostly too, though some people do look good with the black.

Both can look quite nice with the right skin/clothing/hair combination. I got one of each myself.

[Serilda]

I prefer Xaela visually, though culturally I'm looking forward to meeting both on their home turf soon.

Visually Xaela because they are way sexier and their scales works perfectly with every skin colour!!
On a lore note though I like the Raen, they are the "good" auri, they stopped being nomads and they are matriarchal if I don't remember it wrong.

I wouldn't go to the degree of removing Raen at all, when I tried making my character Au ra I made him Raen cause I think it's closer to my real life palette and all.

Xeala are dirty barbarians:P

No in all seriousness Raen interest me more for no other reason than

they live in bubble towns under the water

. Plus I think Au Ra samurai and ninja are a bit cooler than Au Ra nomads. We actually have lot less info on the Raen than the Xeala so there is more to learn about them.

I like both the Same TBH. It really depends on how skilled the Player is in creating a good looking character. I saw a lot Good looking Xaela but also a lot Good looking Raen. I dont care much for the scale Color
