I'm going to preface this by saying I only did the first quest for WHM so I don't know much about it other than only Padjal get to learn it, and that padjal are ridiculously rare/chosen. That, and that one boy padjal was real salty when our MC got the soul crystal/ was allowed to learn WHM
I think that in this case, I can apply some lessons I've learned writing fanfiction. That lesson is that content is a heck of a lot more important than ideas. Ideas are dime a dozen, and their terribleness or awesomeness is largely dependent on how you write. The only factor an idea determines is difficulty. A padjal character would be fairly difficult to write well, and if you get it badly people might jump down your throat. Heck, people might jump down your throat anyways. But almost nothing is impossible to write well. I know RP is a bit different, but in stories most characters can be considered sues when you only account for basic impersonal information and not for the way they interact with and are treated by the world.
In short, I say go for it. In cases like these with very unique characters, it is important to strike a balance in how integral this unique feature is to the character you are writing. If you make it too unimportant, it will look like you just wanted to add some fancy bells and whistles to a normal character that doesn't need it. Base too much of the character around the feature and they will seem 2-dimensional, silly, or the dreaded, overused "sue-like".
Honestly, call me tasteless, but I think interacting with a padjal under some kind of masquerade or glamour could make for some interesting RP
