The topic of roleplaying Au Ra pre-Heavensward is a bit of a contentious one. It's already rare to find people doing it, but the scarcity of information about them means that a lot of what people are basing their characters around is headcanon. You may have a hard time finding other players who will share in the details of your character's time in Eorzea.
I don't dislike the idea personally. It's challenging to base a character off of very little lore, but the writer's talent will ultimately bare out the character's success. I would suggest at least waiting a bit longer though. It's very likely that we'll see an Au Ra lore drop in the next couple weeks before the Benchmark. I think it will provide much needed grounding for some, and it may even inspire others to get involved earlier. You may find much more interest then!
As for myself, I would definitely be interested in this idea post-launch!
