Does your character just get plopped down in the middle of Eorzea fully grown?
My current character, a Doman monk, didn't train in Eorzea. Nor will she. Her particular set of skills is completely different from Ul'dah pgl guild training, so how is level even remotely relevant?Â
A characters life experience dictates their weaknesses and strengths. Not some ooc mechanic that again, can only be acknowledged via meta - gaming.
That being said, I'm in a similar situation. Since my character came in as a skilled character, I had to explain away the level in case I encountered players who took my level as an indicator of power. It's a good thing I suppose I didn't run into them, as I bet they'd never have bought the "injury" plot thread I used it for. Like your character, her style is not that of Ul'Dahn pugilists or the Fists, so the game cannot properly reflect what she is ICly. In such cases, I try to describe long and hard what's going on so people can immediately look at my emote description and know at a glance it is not the same as the in-game Monk style. Generally that seems to more or less be enough for most players.
