Ellmida and Kerrath already beat me to half of what I would've said, so I won't reiterate those points. Instead, I'm going to touch on something else. My main question after reading the whole thing is... Why?

What do you feel you'd specifically be achieving with this character concept that you'd be unable to do without all of the Voidsent headcanon? If the reason isn't much more robust than "I really liked Parasyte and wanted to do something equally cool in the same vein", that's fine and you're welcome to it... but I'd be worried about a potential lack of depth.

Whenever I see stuff like this, I'm always more curious about the motivations behind the decisions rather than the specifics of what they consist of. Perhaps you have a partner you'd be engaging in this with who shares your though process, so you could get it off the ground and it'd allow you both to explore something you couldn't otherwise. That's swell. However, if you were planning on engaging randoms with this... it might be a hard pill for most to swallow.

All that being said, I do have a fondness for Blue/Orange Morality in characters. It's one of my favorite components of anything Lovecraftian. And the almost nonchalant gruesomeness of the body snatching process, while perhaps somewhat unnecessary, gives me some slight Junji Ito vibes which could be fun to explore in the FF14 setting. (It wouldn't even be entirely out of place, either. Given things like Edda and Avere's lovely little story...) With the right partner and/or group, maybe you've got the start of something worth refining and expanding upon here.
