I just wanted to raise an interesting question about the Garlean Deserter. I like the idea quite a lot, but will not be playing one myself, however, there is a piece of Mainstory lore about Garlean Soldiers - they are all brainwashed when they enlist. This is also part of the rigorous training. Note that this only really applies to lower level cannon fodder, and commanders and squad captains and such are the exception.
There was quite an interesting discussion about it a few months ago. You can find the thread here and I suggest reading through it. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=3103
I think its a great idea, but I suggest reconciling this detail. It will also help you along with your backstory, I think! Just my 2 cents.
