Hmm... yes, I see your points there. Thanks!
Still... from my perspective... I don't think I could play a WoL (even if the game intends me to be one?) because IC (and OOC) wise, my character & I weren't there.
I am lacking the lore, history, connections, animosities, etc.
But.... that is my personal belief. If someone wants to RP being a WoL but just arrived, well... I doubt anyone would know the difference (if the RPer is talented and knows the lore intimately).
Was just wondering... haha.
The amnesia take is interesting though. I could see one of the WoL waking up with last memory being destruction, blood, death... and brilliant white light... expecting to open eyes to face their deity...
and instead, just green grass, blue sky and a chocobo licking their nose... and totally confused as to WHAT the heck just happened?!?!

I could also see a family member recalling their loved one went to fight against the Calamity- and simply believed them to have died.
So... if/when family member shows up? It's "OMG!!!! I thought you died!" and not even a thought that they could be WoL... because its true... not EVERYone that was at the Battle would be the Chosen Ones to be saved by Louisoiux (sp?)... but I would wager was more than the 4. He called on the gods to save the heroes- no sense in thinking they HAD to be next to him when he prayed.
Gods are omniscient like that.
