Hi there, and welcome! I'll just get right to it and answer your questions:
I - Balmung would be a great choice yes! We have the heaviest population of roleplayers -- so much so that it's actually a hassle to get onto the server at times! However, that's easily circumvented with careful vigilance and patience. Both the US and EU populations are large and diverse, so you'll definitely find people to roleplay with whenever you get on.
II - Oddly enough, the best place to get lore on the game is the game itself, but the wiki and the lore team posts on the official forums SHOULD suffice for now. You seem to have a concept for your character in mind, so asking questions around it (like you did in your next section) should provide you with what you need to be comfortable until the game shows you the world! There are a lot of lore-savvy folks on here who would be more than happy to help you out.
III - First of all. HIGHLANDER. APPROVE APPROVE APPROVE. Though, if he's in his mid twenties, he'd have been less than ten years old when the occupation of Ala Mhigo began! As it stands Ala Mhigo fell twenty years prior to the games current time bubble. For him to have been taken in as a part of the resistance in Ala Mhigo itself...that area is a bit cloudy -- but you can easily come up with something to make it work (maybe his cell wasn't in the city state itself but in some nearby hidey hole in Gyr Abania? Stuff like that!).Â
The personality sounds pretty Highlander to me! As for Paladinhood, a Paladin needn't be a Sultansworn -- they can be a Free Paladin! Roaming the land, doing as they please in the name of defending peoplefolk, getting the girls (and losing them *cough*). There is a Gladiator's guild -- but the Paladins don't seem against teaching others what they know. There's always room for 'self learned', or that 'obscure teacher' bit!
You seem to have the concept of a Highlander down well...as for the scale, I'd range it from 7 to 8. Them big burly Roe boys are likely to take up the 9 and 10 spots.
If there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask! I'm a Highlander/Ala Mhigo enthusiast myself so you mightn't get me to shut up about it (WORDVOMIT IS GOOD FOR GETTING INFORMATION). When the time comes, I'd be more than happy to roleplay with your character, even if it starts as a forum thread!
