I suppose I generally stand with those saying people can RP how they want and if you don't like it, no one is forcing you to RP with them. Â In a community this size, that seems the most valid conclusion.
On the other hand, I'll speak as someone coming from relatively smaller RP communities on Neverwinter Nights, where the whole server is made up of 30 people at most online simultaneously.
You are absolutely entitled to break your race/class/socioeconomic/etc norms. Â It's a good idea to include reasoning, but that is honestly at your discretion. That being said, especially in smaller RP communities, there is a certain resistance to and perhaps even a stigma with too many "snowflakes". Â If everyone is special, you can lose some immersion in the story you are playing in. Â Like playing a server with a plot centered on Amn and Athkatla and everyone wants to play a friendly do gooder tiefling.. or all the aasimar being evil.Â
Hopefully that makes sense and doesn't come across judgmental.
