I honestly find it odd that we see all kinds of "your characters' fears" "what your characters likes" "your characters' A-B-C-etc." and that privilege instead is a no-no topic. Privilege is something that exists in Eorzea as well, and I think refusing to acknowledge it is a bit off. We're trying to portrait the real lives of fictional characters here, so it's inevitable that even privileges problems will come out. Maybe you simply haven't seen it brought up into your RP yet, but this is not a reason to not think through about your character's background and see if he/she was bullied or discriminated in the past or has grown into a difficult environment. It's a part of life.
Maybe don't post it if you want, but I recommend to everyone to give it a little insight for their character, I'm sure it'd end up explaining/enriching some of his/her background, behavior, or point of view in society.
For what it's worth, I scored 18 on Jet'a's questions, and I was able to convert every question in an Eorzean aspect without much struggle.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
