Okay, it's actually relieving to hear that I can RP her having always been a bard. That was something I was hoping I could do, but didn't know how much game mechanics would factor into it. I guess my only real concern now is that I've never played a bard in this game, so I don't really know how to roleplay one. I'm sure that is something that I could look up online, as far as their abilities and so forth, I just don't want to get anyone mad. Part of why I chose bard as well is that anyone can gather lore or sing songs. I've hard that people can get really upset if you decide to be a white mage or other job where it's considered very rare and a huge honor, so I wanted to avoid a job like that.
Another thing with her backstory I was unsure of was that I have her as a Raen Au Ra. However, the Garleans took the town she was in when she was young. She barely escaped with her life and was picked up by a group of Xaela Au Ra women who were basically assassins and raised her in assassination, subterfuge, etc. I wasn't sure if Raen and Xaela actually get along or not, enough that a group of Xaela would take in a young Raen girl. I know they live different lives, but I don't know if that extends into bad blood between them.
I also hate using "lived in Random Village that was destroyed by baddies", but I want her to be in her early 20s, so timeline-wise, I'm not aware of any actual towns I could say she's from that were ransacked by the Garleans.
