Negative.
Actually let me edit this, the character can do what the writer can, not what you deem is appropriate. Â It might not even be minor considering if they can write up a good story, their differing background may be more enjoyable to interact with.
Lol really? This is like when you ask your teacher if you can go to the bathroom in third grade and she says "DURR I DON'T KNOW, CAN YOU?"
Replace "can't" with "shouldn't" and add in "because this is ridiculous"
As for the second part of this: If you rely on a universe-hopping gimmick to make your character interesting, you should try sitting down and re-evaluating what you think makes a good character. "I'm from another world" is more annoying to most RPers than it is intriguing. If I picked up a book that was based entirely on being from a different desert town than the current desert town, I'd throw it in a fire.
You shouldn't do this, because it is not good writing. It is a writing supplement. No one will think this is clever and fun, and most people will avoid you.
Save yourself the heartache. Just switch some words around. These settings are not so different that you could never recreate the magic you had in FFXI's story.
But yes, as was unnecessarily and ludicrously pointed out, you CAN if you want. TECHNICALLY.
You're forcing you're close minded opinion on me and trying to pass it off as the opinion of "many other" when obviously you're opinion on this thread is solitary. I've heard the opinions of Unnamed Merc, basically stating that it's possible but ill advise due to difficulty, and those that full one support my claim. You however have merely stated "don't do it, because I don't like" clearly you are entitled to your opinion, but if you don't like it, stop reading this thread. Clearly you have nothing constructive to add.
