This alone is a very valid excuse to RP a character which does not follow the typical culture of each specific race and clan. If you plan to RP X race hailing from Y land, then yeah, you need to do some research, but otherwise, everything is perfectly legit.We never learn anything about that Adventurer's past. So personally, I don't think that makes them a good example for a roleplay character.
Often at least, roleplayers like to ground their characters in history and lore, the depth and richness of which depends on how important it is to the character as well as the player.
Most definitely though, completely making things up does streamline the process of character creation. I think that's why it holds an intrinsic appeal to some people.
