There's also the meta that you want new players to see familiar things; If you picked MRD for your first character and then got to see all these awesome lance or pug animations... I think there's a degree of YOU PICKED AXES? WELL AXES ARE THE MOST AWESOME THING, DIG THESE CONALS going on.
The most awesome axe attacks are all in WAR anyway.
The only "police force" that doesn't have a singular class representing it is the Wailers because IIRC I've seen a few with bows but I'm not in game right now so I can't check. Technically, Ul'dah could have some pugilists in there if they really wanted to, but I guess they chose the blade because it's easier to see than a bunch of knucks/fists/claws/katars on the side.
Thing is, Limsa is lacking a 2nd Disciple of War class based in the city, which is something both Gridania and Ul'dah have. So there can't be that much variety.
I'm struggling to find a whole lot of lore on Yellowjackets, beyond the fact that they're the resident police force.
On the topic of race, I wouldn't get too hung up on that aspect. The city-states have certain races that are more common than others, but there are always outliers like this Sea Wolf Wood Wailer.
It's a great thing you're doing.
 Lemme know if Aerghwab can help.
