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.
It's just a plot device to justify why you need everything explained to you for the sake of being expositional about the story and lore, that's all. No-one should really read into the actual situation of the PC itself. Having said that, I think Blue's point was simply that there are always exceptions to the rule.
