You caught me, I was going a lazy route for it.
But im not sure on where to find good sources for lore on the cultures. I plan on being Hyur or maybe the Mithra equivalent. I typically like a mix of swords and magic so I was thinking a Paladin as I also like the idea of a defender/protector.
I want avoid a marty sue by all means, and i could go with when he awoke he realized he had lost everything because he was not strong enough to guard it. Visions of his failures creep in the shadows of his mind and heart, seeking the strength to redeem his failure he searches for redemption or revenge. Maybe something more like that?
I just for see him as someone who wants to protect but also seeks power(RP reason to have multi-classes going) and someone who views his losses as his failures and sins.
I was going that route, using my old FFXI character to build off of. He died during the Chains of Promithia, and I kind of write in there that the goddess Altana of that world took pity on him and sent his soul far from the grasp of the dark god. The crystal could represent his soul essence and the lastin coruption, but not from his previous world( Kind of how jobs are Soul Crystals).
He would never find true answers and instead focus on his new life finding it a gift, seeing this new world in turmoil would spark his soul to seek answers and defend his new home.Â
That was my original idea. Some non cannon but it would be over run with canon as I played.

Well, a character without any origin in Hydaelyn?
I'll play devil's advocate to Xenedra and say: Go for it. Such an outlandish origin is hard to pull off, but if done well, it's great for truly unique character development.
I was thinking of brainstorming a dimensional traveler as well, haha! What with all the time-traveling, dimensional rifting mumbo-jumbo FFXIV has been throwing about, it's not completely impossible.
