I'll admit to only have kinda sped-read through the backstory.
Legion things look fine, but I'd be a little careful about the battle mastery and Allagan tech. But that comes from a person playing a Garlean in hiding because of a failed project to make artificial aether reserves based on research of the Ultima Weapon. (The lore is stretched almost as far as Franz's faked smiles when acts nice to Eorzeans he hasn't come to care for).
One thing some of the other pureblooded Garlean characters I've seen have done to tackle the third-eye thing is to use a glamour and/or accessory/hair to hide it. Nothing says "weird and creepy" as much as something noticeably foreign. While it stands to show that Ishgard seems to accept Lucia despite her Garlean heritage, I think that also has to do with Aymeric's open mind towards her. (She is a defected spy, after all). Walking around in a full suit of Garlean battle armor may draw unwanted attention. I'd maybe go for something a little more casual unless the need for a fight arises.
But on that note, you might like the Ad Victorium linkshell, which was made to better coordinate Garlean RP. And should my grumpy Garlean find his arse in Ishgard again, or if he seems interesting to you, feel free to poke with a /tell or something. I'm weird and while usually IC, get iffy about walk-up RP outta the blue. Inconsistent play time and all.
