An interesting set of character concepts...
Whilst I have not yet played any of them in FFXIV yet, I have played a desert wanderer/warrior in RIFT. He was a remarkably tall, dark-skinned Eth whom adorned himself with the typical gear you would expect a desert wanderer to have. Leather with patchy bits of platemail, ragged cloth, etc. Though, he wielded two-handed sword rather than a scimitar (which I feel added to his character even more. ^_^). He also had a bow on his back which was (RPed as being) rather old and had a torn fabric wrapped around it in places. In terms of personality, he was very much the "Few words, more action guy", being silent at times when sometimes it would seem odd to be so. Plus he was a bit of a loner.
I have, however, had thoughts to roleplay this kind of character again. For a desert warrior, there are three races that really stand out to me: Hellsguard Roegadyn, Highlander Hyur and Dunesfolk Lalafell. Some might say "Why not Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te!?", I simply am not a fan of roleplaying them, sorry! Now, I personally would not roll a Hellsguard due to having a Seawolf already.
This leaves Highlander and Dunesfolk. Highlander would be the typical archetype for this kind of character and perhaps the most obvious choice. However, I love the idea of a Lalafell desert warrior! Totally breaks the mold of what people expect! Plus, you won't expect the silent midget to kneecap you and call him your "Sultan".
Good luck finding others whom are interested in the other roles! But yeah, desert wanderer may be on the cards.
