I see a lot of the sentiment that 'that backstory doesn't add anything to your character'. While I disagree with that for my own reasons, even if it didn't add anything...then what's the difference! May as well if it adds something to your enjoyment, right? As Warren said, if nobody knows about the backstory IC and you're playing it for your own fun...you may as well!
Concepts like these, while frowned upon generally -- well forget that, if YOU enjoy it, and if you can pull it off in a way that doesn't smash a hole into other people's enjoyment (and by that I don't mean 'I don't like your idea'. It has to be more profound than that)...go for it.Â
Also, if you develop an interest in the lore during your time roleplaying and need anything at all explained, there are a few good heads on here who will be more than willing to explain the why, how, and goodness-gracious-me of things.
