*Rolls up in his RoeMobile*Â
Oh, look. You get three grumpy Roegadyn! Hehe.
I will start off by saying I -love- the cannibal concept. It's something that is very rarely explored outside World of Warcraft (Troll RP, mostly. The race, not the douche variety) and I would love to see how you portray it in the Final Fantasy universe.
Now, not to regurgitate what the other two said, but I have to agree that it's safer to play a character that is "like so-and-so", rather than being flat out from another universe. I mean, your character could be like him in every single way possible (mannerisms, appearance, bits of human between the teeth...) but for it to be considered more widely accepted, I would suggest you do not make the character a direct reincarnation of said anime character. By all means, have your character go around shouting "I AM LIO SHIRAZUMI!" but the people of Eorzea would likely take your character as an extreme eccentric and reply "Um... Hi. I am "Insert name here*..." or treat him as though he has a few bolts loose in the ol' noggin.
Also, there is always the risk with taking a character directly from another game where people will refuse to hear you out, will get butthurt and will refuse to roleplay with you. Likely whilst badmouthing you to everyone they know. Rest assured, these people are few and far between on FFXIV, but some do exist!
Now, I found the above to be a very interesting point. Whilst, typically, yes it is true they broke that ruuuuuule... Yes and no. Sure, Lightning dimension hopping was a bit of a "What the-?" moment, but let's look at a few facts:
- Lightning comes from a dimension far in to the future, far more advanced than Eorzea. Kinda a null point, but you'll see where I'm coming from soon.
- The Fal'Cie are almighty beings, each with different unique skills as well as the conjoined ability to create l'Cie. Who is to say that at least one Fal'Cie does not have access to dimensional shift magic (effectively advanced Time Magic, a form of magic seen in the Final Fantasy universe).
- Lightning isn't exactly liked among the Fal'Cie. Put two and two together, they wanted to "test her" AKA kill her in a twisted, evil Fal'Cie way.
- This has happened before in FFXIII. Think the re-make.
- Lastly, Lightning is from the Final Fantasy universe.
Now, the guy you want to bring to Eorzea has no connection to the Final Fantasy universe. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt that a mirror dimension of his is one with Hydaelyn inside. So, by my thinking, it is near impossible or at the very least infeasible to see that his spirit would jump to Eorzea.
The again you could and likely would be able to find a like-minded community to roleplay him in. If that's the case, best of luck to you and that is awesome! However, for the ability to integrate your character in to the general FFXIV RP circuit, I would suggest the "is like so-and-so" route.
Kudos on the concept!Â
