wait. when folks talk abt their modern aus do yall keep the fantasy races around for that? i've just been making Ori a normal human person but i'm realizing that might just be a limitation i'm putting on myself for no reason

I keep Altira as he is because I do not want to imagine him as a normal human. That's just me tho cause being an au ra/lizard looking man is just too important for his design he would be unrecognizable as a human.
When I think modern au, I think i would keep onis onis and other fantasy creatures (this an example because I misread ori and oni yes)
Like I'd make em a urban fantasy secret world thing
Because thats more fun then just turning a unique fantasy character into a boring human
every headrest on every type of seat would have to be removable in this world. or every chair has a short back panel. thinking abt how a society with large numbers of people who range from 3' to 8' tall would function. airplane travel would be awful
*Ahem*
Vibration dampening horn cuffs
Fit around the area where the earhorns attach to the skull, significantly dampen the sound vibrations the horns pick up while vibrating out audio instead
in the modern au shes a lawyer actually! :] very overworked but a menace in the court room… coughs and chokes out that zenos is also a lawyer and theres crazy yuri shit going on there
for example, how would an au ra wear a motorcycle helmet or use something like earbuds? are there clothing stores that tailor specifically to the races with animal features? stuff like that is fun to flesh out and you can basically do whatever you want with it lol
Imo there are two types of modern au (but they're never differentiated lol), A) these characters as if in our current modern world B) the same world but the characters are now in that world's 2025
i do! its much more fun that way tbh, tho some ocs of mine I do have specifically a modern AND human au but usually when im making a modern au i keep the fantasy races (and often a lot of the fantasy elements too bc its funny)

it's pretty fun to come up with ways a modern world would adapt to ffxiv's different races too!
So really, it's up to you.
