Eh... I've read, and I'm still judging.
This isn't Final Fantasy Tactics, nor is it Final Fantasy 7, nor is it any other Final Fantasy besides Final Fantasy 14. I don't believe that the concept of what you're proposing fits the lore of Final Fantasy 14. For a private story which won't require interaction with other roleplayers besides you and your character's future girlfriend, hey, whatever, do what you want. The problem arises when/if either of you would decide to interact with anyone else who hasn't preemptively signed on to your adjusted viewpoint of the game setting, because you'll run into conflict with other players who will RP with you for days or weeks without a problem only to suddenly discover the "big secret". This throws them into an uncomfortable situation of having to decide if they personally prefer to stick to the game lore or not. The former option would mean they wouldn't be able to RP with your character anymore, and the latter option would mean they'd be in the same boat as you - requiring, inevitably, anyone that they RP with would have to make that same choice.
So I guess it begs the question: Why not play a story concept which is inherently suitable for the setting of and lore-abiding towards Final Fantasy 14? There aren't a shortage of them, there's lots of interesting niches which players don't often explore. Or, alternative question, if you're dead-set on just loving vampires and you really must roleplay vampires in order to have fun roleplaying (and that's no dig on you, I've met people like that), why not play that story in an MMO where the setting supports the concept? Almost all MMOs have free-play options, so unlike "the old days" it's pretty easy to spread the RP love around to different games to play different types of stories that are more suited to the various settings.
P.S. - "Delita", not "Delta".
