The title is sort of self-explanatory, but here's a bit of follow-up information. I've been playing a Lalafell who's an Ala Mhigan (If that's possible, if not he's from Limsa Lominsa) White Mage, who serves as a mercenary with a companion and happens to not have many qualms with taking jobs from the Garlean Empire. The backstory needs some tweaking, but that's the rough idea.Â
I was talking to some people who have differing opinions on the lore. Some say they have no issues with what I'm doing, others say that there's lore that suggests that White Mages are sort of... inherently good, and wouldn't do something as self-serving as mercenary work. They cite the fact that White Mages are apparently chosen to be so by a giant tree of some description; and lore supports this.Â
So, what do -you- guys think? If there is strong lore that outright condemns this, it's no biggie. I can play Scholar and achieve roughly the same result. (Though I am going to want to change this character's magic color-coded eyes, somehow).
