Menzoberranzan Renegade (Drow) exclusive options/elements etc...

Hello all. I'd like to compare and record the exclusive elements of the Menzoberranzan Renegade (Drow), Hero of the North exclusive race/heritage. As we aren't yet able to create "standard" Drow (which, I am unsure if they are supposed to be other "light" Drow from aboveground somehow, or "standard" Lloth-worshipping "evil" Drow ) I am gathering there may be some gaps in the differences between the two.
During Character Creation, the following are present..
Racial Abilities
Faerie Fire - Chance on hit to apply a debuff exposing the enemy to more damage
Ability Scores - +2 Dex, +2 Cha or +2 Wis
Trance - Recovery at campfires is twice as swift
Physical appearance
There has been some discussion if the MR skin color/eye color/haircolor options are different than that of Drow, but I guess it is all unconfirmed for now. However, there are 6 options for Tattoos which are marked specifically as "Renegade 1" through "Renegade 6". I don't see any other options that seem to be specific to the Renegade labeled as such.
Character Origins
MR seems to have the option to chose "The Northdark" as an origin location, which if I am correct is not available to other races? It has the following text.
The Northdark - Faerun's Underdark is a network of subterranean tunnels, caverns, seas, and rivers that spans the entire world. Beneath the lands North and East of Waterdeep and Neverwinter lies a vast, notorious domain called The Northdark
There are several heritage options available here including...
Escaped Slave - You have survived and escaped one of the infamous slave pits of the Northdark, seeking sanctuary in the surface world
Northdark Explorer - You traverse the hidden paths leading between the wicked cities and mysterious ruins of the Northdark
Underdark Exile - You have violated the laws of your people in the Northdark and have been banished to the surface world
Edit: Using the "Northdark > Underdark Exile" origin, provides the "of the Northdark" title as you begin your adventure. It is not yet clear if selecting the 3 sub-options change the titles available in any way.
Religion - There does not seem to be any new deity options specific to MR or Drow at the moment (Lloth or Shar are not options etc..). I wonder if they would tend toward Corellon, Selune, or Sune similar to other "Elven Races" cited.
It has also been said that there is a special outfit granted to Menzoberranzan Renegades. When does it become available and what might it be called?
Anything else that we know about the race at this point specific to bonuses, items, flavor text or other options? Thanks!

I was referring to the fact that, since MR seems to use some "normal" Drow elements during character creation (ie body types are not typed as MR, but as Drow Toned, Drow Heavy, Drow Slim) that Lloth or Shar etc..would have been "left over" as part of the "Drow options", possible crossed out for MR or something like that.
Still many questions....
Just because you hate Menzo doesn't mean you hate the gods
I made a human TR, and I think she had the Northdark available. I may have imagined it, since I was going on 26+ hours with no sleep; but I could have sworn I saw Northdark as an option.
