1. Bend, never break. This lore is crazy it doesn't need to be broken so you can be the greatest mary sue who ever lived.
2. When you see something in lore that's supposed to be rare (Sephie, Echo, Allagan Eyes, Lady Iceheart) that doesn't mean you get to do that either. It's rare for a reason.
other than that. I dun care.
Also, given that it's kind of what defines a player character as a player character... Well, you know. Just let it happen.
But, yeah. I try to avoid bending (and especially breaking) lore wherever possible. It's really not that hard to do, honestly. A lot of things are glossed over or just not given any detail so there's plenty of wiggle room there (until some things get clarified in the future, anyway). And if you want to play a powerful character, aether and the Echo are there for you, baby! No need to go crazy off-the-chain at all. (And, frankly, if that's all you want to do there are much better avenues for it!)
