Please note the difference between the Lore Discussion forum and the Character Workshop forum. While they may share significant overlap, they are moderated differently. I've reverted your post-blanking because the question itself is still valid and lore-related. For specifically your character, a thread should be made in Character Workshop. Lore Discussion forum threads are for exactly that.

Staff-things aside, people already beat me to what I was going to say. Just RP the concept if that's what you want to do. You can't appease everyone and trying to do so all the time just makes RP more of a job than a past time. Sure, some people might avoid you if you want to be an unconventional White Mage within FFXIV's lore, but I mean, they might just avoid you because they're not into that RP anyways. Or maybe they will be interested and your story, writing, and/or justification will be something you can use in RP. I'd suggest to think it over and figure out what kind of story you're trying to make with other people. What major difference does it make to call your character a healer, a hearer, a conjurer, or a mage that is somehow different than calling your character a White Mage, which refers to a very particular thing in this game?
