I like dynamic characters with interesting backstories. Personally, I'm not interested in farmers or average joes, especially not in a Final Fantasy game. Actual scholars discussing the pros and cons about aether or two gladiators having a shouting match over how to take a certain monster down is way more entertaining to read than how the kids are doing or moving furniture. I can get that in real life.
But whether or not you're a farmer or an actual surviving Allagan relic to me is how the character conducts themselves. Some people use these special backstories just for the 'special snowflake' motif, others actually do have something to write about.
If you're going to make a special character, respect mah authori-lore. I'll RP with that last surviving Nymian of yore if they write them really well. (And it actually makes sense.)
