While we don't know exactly the relationship between the remaining nobles and the other Ala Mhigans, just going to toss it out there that the King of Ruin only kept the nobles alive with no claim to the throne and those who actively supported his cause. If he had but an inkling that they might betray him? He ended up executing them.
Sadly enough his wife and a group of nobles conspired against him to end his madness, who one of them ratted on the King. They all got executed, including his wife. This only fuelled his madness.
The Corpse Brigade got forgiven though, by the younger generation of Ala Mhigans, but those who remember still despise them. But we don't know if that also applies to the nobles. There's one remaining noble who has a claim to the throne, that is the Monk trainer. However we are not sure if people know that he is such, seeming he never speaks of it. I think he is aware of it himself, seeming the lorebook speaks of something along the lines of him leaving the temple due to not wanting to ignore the plight of his people any more. But besides that? We haven't heard of noble Ala Mhigans NPCs at all.
What brings me to... Ala Mhigans PCs, might hate the shit out of your character by default. Provided they know of the character's lineage. Either they might blame him for his family for being the King of Ruin's supporters, or failing to remove him.
Not to say you know, children are meant to carry the sins of their forefathers, but you know, Ala Mhigans are a jaded group of people! Hopefully Stormblood will clear up more lore surrounding (surviving) Ala Mhigan nobles and the non-nobles.
Also swearing yourself to one of the three Grand Companies is not going to do much. Ala Mhigans are (rightfully so) angered with everything in Eorzea to ignore and abuse them for over twenty odd years now. I believe Ilberd described Raubahn, as a bull without balls who had forgotten Ala Mhigo in favour for his comfortable life in Ul'dah, while you know, his people were out there suffering. While I cannot state that Ala Mhigans share that opinion with Ilberd, given the sway he had over the Resistance, it might be a common mindset. The later quests in the MSQ bring up the topic as well that the Ala Mhigans feel ignored and discarded ect. (Not to mention Ul'dahn nobles found it hilarious to sick exotic beasts on Little Ala Mhigo and bet on the outcome. Who knows they might even despise nobles even more so now, even if they are not from their own society. Raubahn did stop that though. But yeah.)

In any case, I can suggest looking up Sounsyy's lore compilations and go read up on all the Ala Mhigan related things.
