So... here's a positive! I am assuming from the title that Cosmo (CosMo? Cos Mo?) is gay but it does not seem to be the defining trait upon which his character is built. I thought that was nice.
Anyway... I go to thinking and with some changes Cosmo's story can be lore-friendly and still follow the basic points which seem to be:
character of mixed heritage
character has a talent not common in his society
character is ridiculed due to these traits
character runs away to pursue this talent
My take on a lore-friendly version:
-C'osmoh Tia (or Kuh Osmoh) is a Miqo'te with multi-tribal or Sun/Moon heritage. (mama and papa are not Fran and Balthier but have personalities that are similar)
-He has little skill or interest in the hunter/gatherer lifestyle
-He prefers to study the arcane arts, possibly due to a past encounter with an individual skilled in such talents or finding an Arcanist's book
- Because of his heritage and interests, he is picked on by the other children.
-Cosmo learns of the Arcanist's guild and in a fit of youthful foolishness runs away from home with the starry-eyed notion that he's going to make it big someday and show those punks back home what he's made of.
-DOCUMENTS!* ALGORITHMS!* ADVENTURE! COMEDY! DRAMA!
*In Limsa Lominsa, Arcanists are the equivalent of Customs or Department of Immigration and Homeland Security. They use math and OCD to summon magic squirrels.
