Anything you want to do is possible, BUT there are 'community friendly' characters, and non-community friendly characters. Bluntly put, this is the latter. You'd have to find a smaller group to rp with, willing to accept this sort of storyline.
People might give you grief over the concept, but truly RP is meant to be a fun enhancement to the game, and only you know what your best version of fun is. But it's not a concept a lot of rpers are going to easily swallow. So, so long as you are aware of the consequences, do what you like.
However, there is an alternative; instead of porting that exact same character over, bring the basic personality of what makes him him over, tailor his backstory to more accurately fit the FFXIV world, and do an Eorzean version of him.
I actually do that all the time, and it works fine. They are heavily inspired by characters I played in previous games, but were born and raised right here in good ol Eorzea.
