I think noble characters in general can be really interesting when thrown into a mix. It adds a different dynamic, say, one where the character might have had a more strict life, and grew up learning specific things like more about history and less practical things like how to sleep in the wilderness.
As for me, my character is slightly modified from regular RPs. So, the story is that she comes from a house in Gridania nobility, from central shroud. I like to think of it as a mix of family/wealth based...perhaps a few generations of merchants (I mean after all, merchants from Ul'dah would have to trade with merchants established in other areas? Just an example.) who established wealth and bought land.
I know lore might start playing into this if I took it too seriously...like how the twelveswood was apparently a living entity or something like that...then yeah, 'owning' land might have gone differently. Still, I care more about how this effects my character's habits, and the things she knows, and her ethics. Basically how she places a lot of self-worth in her ability to produce children and act motherly and lady-like.
Actually, with the FC Housing, you could round up some willing participants and kind of pull it off. =P
