It's not about being a rebel or fighting the system, it's about taking the world your character exists in and making your story realistic. If you need some fancy backstory just to stand out, you're probably lacking in actual RP skills or you need to find better people to RP with.
How is playing Japanese style of character "anime wannabe character"? You are just now stereotyping that all Asian type of characters are considered as anime wannabe characters. There are plenty of Eorzean characters that players make are like anime style, and they'd be considered anime-wannabe characters. You who has played Anime style video games should understand the concept that NOT all Asian oriented characters should be stereotyped to be anime characters.
This game is Final -Fantasy- which means it's not 100% realistic. It's got fantasy fictional unnatural things that happen in this game, and it cannot be viewed as some Medieval content of view back in 1400-1500s since there were no such thing as Magitek vehicles or giant Bahamut blowing continents away.Â
Also lacking in Actual RP skills? Who are you to judge that people have good RP skills or not? That's just elitism and narrow minded in your words. I would suggest you to recollect and be careful with what you say in words.
