So I've been skimming through some informational sites and I still haven't seen any breakdown regarding the character creation page and the means of the selected options....

1. Base Stats. Are there any particular bonus from selecting one clan/ race over the other, or is it simply cosmetic? I know in XI there were different starting stats depending on the race.

2. Nameday. I assume that it is simply that.... But curious if there were any hidden bonuses to it?

3. Guardian. There are several guardians and it seems there would be a bonus for selecting on over the other, however, I haven't been able to find any information regarding this.
