Every job has a list of rules required to play it. It's called "lore" here, and not "rules" though.
The only thing open to speculation is whether you feel your character's story is more important (or important enough) than anyone else's involvement with your story, though. There's nothing wrong with deciding that, but... Not a lot of people will agree in a shared space that your story is worth their involvement. You are more than welcome to give yourself a special implausible backstory, and everyone else is more than welcome to ignore it as soon as you walk out of their scenes.
