Just an FYI, if you don't RP possessing a Soulstone, you cannot RP classification of a Job. Jobs require Soulstones. You can RP a class, but not a job. You can be a Conjurer but not a White Mage (which is unlikely anyway). You can be a Marauder but not a Warrior. You can be an Archer but not a Bard.
A Bard without a Soulstone is just an archer than plays a lute and sings. There is little to no power behind that music. It is the Soulstone that allows you to channel aether in that manner.
It is a Soulstone that allows an Ul'Dahan Pugilist to access the ability to channel aether the way a Monk does.
Now, this does not mean you have to RP a job. Most RPers other than Machinists, Astrologians, and Dark Knights seems to RP more as the class than the Job because you have a lot more freedom RPing the Class than you do as a highly specialized and specific Job. Astro, Mach, and Dark are classless jobs and are an acception, as the path from class to job is long and arduous.
What you do have to do is acknowledge that Jobholders are Soulstone holders.
You cannot deny the existence of things that are inconvenient to the way you want your character. Teleporting exists- it is a long, expensive process and most people would either prefer to walk, don't trust it, or just plain can't.
Moogles exist- and you are kupo no matter what. Deal with it. *sunglasses*.
Dark Knights are powered by emotion. They are essentially Raven from Teen Titans and that's that.
Miqo'te have harems. Ishgardians are uppity. Female Roe have big boobs. The Sultana is kawaii as fuck.
Deal with it.
