...when you're creating a new Xaela and you don't jive with any of the existing named tribes, so you create your own.
...when what starts as a super simple head cannon for said player-made tribe steadily grows and evolves.
...when that growing idea leads you to spending a week doing research on other cultures and writing out an extension compendium of lore for the player-tribe you have created.
...when super small, inconsequential details come up in the course of casual RP and you have to stop and think really, really hard of a legitimate, character-developing story for why you added that detail.
...in fact, pretty much every small detail about your character has a deep and development-driven reason for existing, and you've probably written a drabble about it. a very detailed drabble. for what is literally just a very small detail that will probably never have any significant bearing on any RP ever.
