I don't normally post on threads that consist of big debates and discussions like this, but erm, I'll give you my two gil.
You can RP whatever you want, what makes you happy, but please know that what makes you happy might not make everyone else feel the same way. Keep your character's story hidden and no one will have any issues. Advertise it and the characters your character will interact with will most definitely have issues. The RL player may be fine, but in an RP community where your character will flesh out by interacting with other characters, this could pose a problem. Like, I wouldn't mind anything (I believe in the SMILE), but I know that Eleni would.
Furthermore, if you will keep your character's story hidden, then technically won't your character be normal/ an everyday person like the others if she refrains from revealing her powers and stuff. Then the special snowflake element is eliminated altogether if only your character herself is aware of all this.
So, erm. Yeah.
