I'm a relatively new player to FFXIV (First time on these forums) and I fell in love with Coerthas, I like the medieval theme, the music, and the rich amount of strife and conflict there.
Despite being new, I have spent more time looking up lore than leveling so far as well as making a few friends who have deep knowledge of it.
They told me this would work but I am still not confident, I would appreciate it if I could get either some reassurance or tough love on whether it is acceptable or no:
The main character in this story is an Ishgardian Elezen named Fleurent de Gisoreux but I’m not sure its a good name and might change it. Fleurent is a knightly and very martial lesser noble of a small house who has long since disagreed with the ishgardian justice system and eventually goes against it. He does this in a similar vein as dark knights however without dark arts. (He does sort of what Haurchefant does in the MSQ) Fleurent is then witch hunted for his interference but before he is caught he leaves Ishgard entirely to become an adventurer and continues following his own sense of justice.
He would adventure to many lands and take part in numerous conflicts, eventually joining the Eorzean Alliance in Carteneau and miraculously surviving the bloodshed that followed. In the wake of the calamity, Fleurent did his best to help whoever he could but he soon felt the need to return home. In Ishgard, he would redeem himself in the eyes of the holy see on the field of battle as he aided the Ishgardian war effort against the Dravanian horde.
After some time and various displays of rekindled faith and martial courage he was permitted to return to his lands and resume his life in Ishgard. Despite his heroics, Fleurent was still disliked by nearby nobility and the enemies he has made did not forget…
Mixed race relationships are frowned upon in many, if not most places, let alone ishgard...but although ishgardian nobility would never take part in such contemptuous behavior, this knightly noble was an adventurer for many years. This eventually helped in giving Fleurent a different perspective on things and he was already a bit of an oddity compared to his counterparts even before he left.
During his adventuring days he fell in love with a Miqo’te refugee and had promised to one day take both the woman and her daughter off the streets of poverty. Fleurent had the pair brought to his land in Ishgard where he and the lady embraced a secret love life. To the people who knew, the Miqo’te maidens were naught but two lowly servants he bizarrely picked up during his adventures. Only a few would know of their existence and even less so his secret...
If this is deemed acceptable then I would like to expand this story and write in greater detail.
I wanted to create a situation that made playing a Miqo'te character in Ishgard plausible but with consequences. This seems very controversial so please give me reassurance or tough love.
