Sounds like you've got a pretty thought-out base here. Mind if I pick your brain a bit?
The Countessa: An eccentric, cruel rich woman gets murdered by her slaves. Do her connections notice? Who murdered her? Did everyone scatter? Who let a kid go off on their own? Did no one look after him? If he was enslaved at 2 and escaped at 5, he spent more time as a slave puppet than he did as a person. Where did he learn to steal without being caught? Why didn't someone else just kidnap him? What did he do during the Calamity? How did a single child not die in the harsh environment of Eorzea?
Not exactly nitpicking, as you mentioned you're still getting a grasp on the world and lore. Just hopefully giving you something to think about! Finally, if you're looking for a random RP setting, you could try any of the Adventurer's Guilds in-game. The Quicksand, the Drowning Wench and the... uh... tree one are all doubled as inns/fooderies so you could hypothetically also be a busboy on top of a dishwasher!
