My character is Ishgardian. He was once a knight and everything. Then he left for reasons and doesn't plan on going back. Now he's forced to get over his preconditioned xenophobia in order to exist outside of the fanatical world he grew up in and attempts to hide his past as much as possible.
I've tried to take the attitudes the game presents us with and create a character that expresses those as well as rejects them. My advice would be that while you must keep in mind the sort of society Ishgard is and the upbringing your character may have had in that society (this would depend on the background of the character's parents, the house they were perhaps a part of, their class etc etc) you can create whatever kind of character you like. They could be a real sweetheart that just happened to grow up in a harsh nation. They could be the polar opposite or anything in-between.Â
Anything else I could say would just be parroting Dogberry, so all I'll say now is good luck and have fun with it!
