Dunno why so many people have to make their character into something super unique or unlikely in the first place. A good RPer should be able to work within "the norm" for whatever world they're in without needing to use gray areas that could potentially end up making their characters non-canon.
You should make your character unique by what they go through in-character and how they develop from it, not by giving yourself the most special snowflake backstory you can imagine.
My character will call out anyone claiming to be from a "far off land" who can't go into explicit detail about their homeland because it may or may not exist just because they couldn't fit their character into the confines of the established lore.
