Fuck the police.
RP a White Mage.
Yeah, I said it. If you need an excuse, cite that Jobs, by definition, are old roles that are now becoming more commonplace. People want you to tie it to the lore? The "Special Snowflake" who became the first non-Padjal White Mage? Yeah, he wasn't the only one, he's just the first in line in what is a new trend. You're just part of a change in times, something that could make for a very interesting roleplay.
The idea that there are now White Mages cropping up could create anything from conflict with nonbelievers to discussion about the Elementals and a new perspective on who is really worthy of the title.
Your character could have to deal with people who think, even though you have that precious connection with the Succor, you're no Padjal, so you don't deserve the title. Others might be wary, because they your powers are some sort of "witchcraft" or an exception similar to the one present in the  Conjurer questline and your life is slowly ticking away. The point is, it creates a lot of tense moments and brings up a lot to discuss. If you play your cards right, it could be really good.
There are so many ways you could roll with this, and it is such a goddamned pity so many people are so petrified of defying the Lore that they won't take the risk. Since when has the Lore stopped us before? If anything, we've been bending the Lore to suit our wishes for a long time now. We've been respectful, sure (DRGs are a good example), but we have always defied it when the Lore says something like only one person can possibly have this class. Because that's so restrictive, and it just flies in the face of our freedom to roleplay what we want.
If no one else will, I will support you. Ultimately, yes, be mindful, and have a good excuse, but be a White Mage. Break the mold. Please.
