Having unique talent is nice, but if it's too unique to have the ability like Nael van Darnus or Warrior of Light is just a bit too extreme for any characters. While we understand that one are always concerned that someone will kill off their character that they worked on - we are all players. We will not insta kill anyone unless the player agrees to it.
Besides the point, I've mentioned privately to you that Rena started off with Eorzean character and if you want Rena to be Doman just to become a Ninja by changing off the entire story... then that's just not a good excuse :/ There are now plenty of Doman characters (who created their characters from the start to be Domans). So you can either learn from them and Doman culture if that's what you wish.
Even White Magics are confirmed to learn and use by breaking the rules and cast them outside of Shrouds and elements.
Family decimation is fine. There are plenty of families that were killed probably in Ala Mhigo anyways and chances are that your family is one of them. Or Calamity too.
What Warren said, aether explosions and mysterious birth conditions can be avoided. Aether explosion in theory... characters will degenerate into multiple molecular cells if that happened.
Edit: Retconning is nice and all, but if Rena -did- meet a lot of characters too much. It'll be hard for everyone to be adjusted. I did say that retcon should be allowed, but depending on how big the retcon is. Anelia being retconned regarding her position as a Sultansworn (formerly captain) was because we Sultansworns in LS agreed that we'd leave it as equal position. Which is an okay retcon. But if we retcon entire story of Anelia, like she never met anyone - it'd be like A Realm Reborn 2.0 beginning where no one can remember who the Warriors of Lights' names are. We'd just refer to them as WoL.
