As another au ra dark knight who has done this, I can actually recommend it from the other angle. I feel like it really helped (helps - the plot is ongoing) me write his journey in a relateable and engaging fashion. It took me a while to find someone to do the teaching, but it was well worth the effort IMO... and once the ball was rolling, I quickly found a lot of other people willing to give him pointers and assistance. He has about four tutors right now.
FWIW, though, I would say about 60-70% of the dark knights I know are au ra (though, they're usually xaela). Probably something to do with our iconic job NPC being such... so while by lore standards they should be rare, I don't think it's anything that players should really have grounds to bother each other over.
