As far as the Scions thing goes, and unfortunately non 1.0 players aren't going to know this, but Minfilia ran a rather large organisation called the Path of the Twelve in the first iteration of this game, and it sounds like those people merged with the remains of the Circle of Knowing (Y'shtola, Yda, Papalymo, Thancred, and Urianger) after the Calamity, so there's probably a lot more to the Scions than what we're seeing; it's probably not too far fetched for people to RP being a part of that organisation, especially if they were in the Path during their time in 1.0 - I really don't see Minfilia giving upon gathering people with the Echo together, even if it's not quite as stigmatic as it was back in the 1.0 era, and the story did support the idea that they were expanding from go.
Pretty much the basic idea has already been stated, and I support it - making things out to be that a character was in one of the assault teams at a certain event, or part of a group that went after a Primal one of the times it was up (especially Ifrit, given that from go, they talk about the fact he's been summoned several times already, and the Ul'dahns lose people to him often), dealing with some sort of corrupted idiot Ishgardian in Coerthas that's not the same Inquisitor, even up to being one of the teams investigating/clearing out the Binding Coil isn't a bad thing. Even having some contacts in various organisations you run across in the world and in the story isn't a bad thing if done tactfully and not nearly at the level done in the storyline quests as long as it makes sense isn't terrible either.
It's all about finding a balance and not forcing it down another player's throat, really. And not being afraid to ask about it and get feedback, then using that feedback is also a big stepping stone a lot of people stand at and never get past.Â
