Not everyone will play a character that has fought a primal, or who is affiliated to the Scions, or who has the Echo, or who is part of a Grand Company, or who is an Adventurer. I have a friend who roleplays an accountant, so her character doesn't fall into any of the subsets inside "Player Characters".
I think it would be more accurate to say that Player Characters are a subset of all characters in the world, who are a subset of all the people in the world. Then of course you have subsets inside the PC subset, but the only thing needed for a PC to be such is to be played by a player. Being an adventurer, friends with the Scions or whatever is accidental. The player is who decides where the character will be located in this big set of subsets we are making.
Exactly so, which is why I said people should do what they like and feel works for their character. If it's appropriate for a character to be in those subsets and to have an airship pass because they're a successful Primal-dropping adventurer, the lore supports that; if it's appropriate for a character to be in a larger set and not have one because they're an accountant, the lore supports that, too. There's room for players to choose to be part of the "airship set" or not as they see fit.
