So to pose the writing prompt to you:
Let's say Square-Enix retcons out the old 1.0 lore regarding vengeance orders. Or maybe they expand on the lore and a mention comes up that Duskwight Elezen are not and have never been accepted into the Immortal Flames due to rampant racism. How would you handle adjustments to your character, their history, your headcanon, etc
I would use or shift what was taken out with what exists to do as minimal an amount of shift as possible. In your particular case we'll start with the Vengeance Order. It is there to state that there is an active consequence for Yssen's straight up murder of a Monetarist and several of his goons, beyond the normal "authorities are looking for you." The device is just as easily shifted to something like a group of bounty hunters, or a huge sum of money being paid to the Thaumaturge's Guild for bringing him in. Probably easier to say there is a large bounty with a large signing fee, and several Thaumaturges and others took the bounty in the past.
As for his being in the Flames. Well the easiest answer is that Yssen is more often than not being deceptive in some way when he does things. Easiest explanation, he joined, but didn't tell anyone he was a Duskwight/took steps to cover up his being a Duskie. In this case probably a last "screw you" he put out there when he resigned his commission. "I quit, oh and by the way... I AM A FRICKEN DUSKWIGHT!" *raises middle finger to flame officers* The same incident is covered and serves the same purpose to the character's story as his original quitting did.
Slight changes, minimal overall impact on character's story. Yar.
