Maybe my sensitive feeling is derived from my experience of playing Uroxi in Supplement Con. Though their sense to Chaos Existence should be treated certainly as obsession and curse to their life. I read "Storm Bullite" psychology in LoT. I think savageness and transcendence to normal society taboo automatically equal to foolish bulliedness and bravado to threat, though certainly it is very difficult to playing the indifference to his own life.

Definitely I don't care yours, either. :-) Recently I have learned Talastari and Dorastor. And I take a fun from the stuff about King Oddi, the tragic Illuminated Uroxi.
In Sun County, as a typical "virtues" of Uroxi, curious, prudent, dedicative and practical. (Though certainly such virtues might be ignored their frenzy and Curse of Sense Chaos. Maybe like Hercules killing his wife and children.)
<<FWIW, we've found using Uroxi as beer-swilling berserk bullying

is good fun, the same way the Taming of Dragon Pass game recast

I think Storm Bullites can be varied as "Storm Tribe" Humakti but ignored.
(For example Makla Manni who whetted his Sense Assassin to extremity for his liege's sake, for his "bad" master like Arkat. He can see illintention everyone and everything.....)
<<And exacerbating internal conflicts within a culture is *fun* (in games --
in the real world, it can be a bugger!).>>
I agree with you, certainly.
