Some male Viera, sometimes, have to have left the forest. Let one of them be your character.
And while we're on that matter, a single male Viera leaving the forest (because as we both agree, other PCs are being ignored), especially to answer the call of Hydaelyn herself to be her Warrior of Light, will not break the lore.
Yes.
That's the lore.
They just do not go outside the forest and see it as sacrilege to even be seen, hence why they were never shown in ANY of the Ivalice games. Any mention of them is basically legend or hearsay.
This is much different than "There are very few Male Miqo'te".
Again, this is not worth your RP.
Let Viera be Viera.

Lore reasons aside, again, I don't think the XIV team will lock in a design for a creature that doesn't belong to them.
Female Viera are exactly as they are in Ivalice, it follows that any look the hypotetical males get would be THE Male Viera design.
There might be an exception if Akihiko Yoshida himself decides to work with the XIV team.
