Personally I think if you want to RP a White Mage then I say go for it! I understand that from a in game lore perspective they are suppose to be extinct with 1 special snowflake roaming the world. But I also believe that was the "setup" for the world we live in right now, and not the "current state" of things. It's hard to judge lore when some of it is based on "single player mode" and not "mmo mode", and White Mage lore is totally "single player mode". I know if/when I bring my White Mage character into RP she will indeed RP as a White Mage, regardless of the dev's oversight on the restriction they placed with their lore.
Also in game story does not =/= character story, we all have gone through the Sion story arc OOC but IC not all of us RP it ever happened. Likewise I would like to think White Mages could have came across their power in a different form other then receiving the soul of that ONE pedjal. A gift from the elementals, another Pedjal soul, a soul from White Mages found prior to the Elementals having their temper tantrum? There are many possibilities you could craft as to why your a White Mage and some roleplayer's might like it, others won't, ultimately it's your character though so do as you want. I believe most people understand wanting to bend or break lore when it comes to White Mages, and that's purely because of the short sight of the Dev lore team.
