At the end of the day, you're the one who wants to RP one. The combo you want of race and job is simply neigh impossible.

DRKs most likely will still have a hate against Au ra. I'm pretty sure they are probably one of the most fanatic folk when it comes down to hunting down what is 'wrong'. Au ra are wrong in the eyes in the Ishgardian.

And... DRK aren't an official organisation. Whereas they can be exiled from Ishgard no doubt, their order isn't one who would do it. Nor do they knight folk. They are just the batmans of Ishgard. No one appoints them. It is a 'burden' they just pick up themselves.

Really, I'd say you either just have to bite the bullet and go "well my char's going to be lore wonky, and fuck it if people don't like it", or just drop it.
  • It is not a Dark Knight in the formal sense. Thus it does not violate the character of the actual job while still accessing it's assets.
This is one of the things who personally make me eye roll the most. There's really nothing wrong with just... rolling the race, age, nationality, required background ect to play what is required for the job/class. But that is me.

In any case, I think I made it clear enough by now that Au ra and DRK ain't going to happen, unless you go for the "I stumble onto a soul stone route". And even then. Why the fuck would an Au ra care about Ishgard's wrongdoing? You're taking a very specific class/job who's made for purging corrupt folk from their society. Especially with Au ra being slaughtered by Ishgardians in the past... I got a hard time believing why they should or would care.

It is up to you whether you want to be lore compliant or not. Au ra DRK is simply ain't going to be unless you conjure up things out of thin air with "Othardian DRKs" or something what I've seen others do.

I personally don't get why you are so set up onto roleplaying one, whereas you could just go... a Warrior, Lancer or Maurader. I find it more likely an Au ra travelled up the Hellsguard villages after the Garleans wrecked their shit, and learned how to Warrior there. But once more, being a baby Au Ra doesn't probably work all that convincing. You still have something semi emotion based I supposed, get to be flashy rargh in combat, and you can always level DRK and go "well she's just a warrior with a sword deal with it". You don't need to be a DRK to wield a sword. There's tons of folk who just levelled the class OOC to hold a sword in RP, including myself.

Hell, I'd say most jobs just sound silly if you make your char super young... Anyhow. It is up to you what to do with it, I don't know how many times I can keep ripping and tearing at your char concept, but for saying once more. Au ra + DRK = ain't a lore friendly combo despite posterboy +50 quests.
