To expand a little on Edgar's post.
On lore; most RPers in XIV prefer to operate within the realms of the lore of the game. At first when I read this I thought you were seeking a XII-related fanfiction style RP to be held in Skype or some other medium. Then the Miqo'te thing came into play and.. yea.
Lore is given to us to immerse us in the world we are playing in. It sets boundaries on our stories - for good reasons. If we did not have lore, we would be free to write what ever we wanted - but then what would be the point? I could just go write a novel. Make up my own world. Or maybe write some fanfiction, if I prefer the lore of another world but want to put my own spin on things.
But a fun, and huge aspect of RP is not having complete control over things. The devs have that control, because it's their world, and we are playing in it. Figuring out how to make your character unique and flexing your creativity while working within the confines of the lore is challenging, but rewarding to most RPers.
Edgar's post lists the obvious things you have proposed that go against XIV's lore. While there are rumors about that Eorzea is within Ivalice, albeit at a vastly different time period, our world is Hydaelyn.
I do hope the comments will help you direct your creativity towards a great character in Eorzea.
