Welcome to Balmung!
Simple is good. It's probably helpful to start with a sort of "blank slate" character and use their sheltered and limited background as a way to explore the game through RP. Character motivations are a whole other bag, and can often be hard to improvise in a similar way.
You've already done the best thing you can do for a character -- you have taken something away from them and given them drive to pursue it. Try posing some questions for your character: what was his master like? How would that affect the direction he's headed in? What kinds of people will he reach out and meet?
You may want to reach out to some similar characters on the connections forum, if your character is open to learning from/with other people. You might consider his long-term goals: do you have a picture of what his "career pinnacle" would be like? What can possibly stop it?
The XIV lore is huge and full of breadcrumbs. There are *lots* of directions you can go with a stealth-focused skillset, and I think where you go depends on your RP style and overall writing goals!
