I tend to try and stay away from controversial/grey areas of lore because of this. I also do not plan ahead on characters, e.g right now some people out there are fleshing out everything about their Au Ra's and I'm just sat here waiting for lore essentially. I have played a little with the character creator but I prefer finalizing things when the whole shebang goes live.
If it was to happen to me, I'd be seeing if there was any possible way to salvage the situation. I am not afraid of using ret-cons, and I have a pretty good idea about who knows what about my character, at least directly, so I would be able to manage it. However, if there's no way out then I would likely arrange for the character to fall over and die at some point. I'm not afraid of making new ones, it just means new adventures, but of course it'd suck a fair bit. But, personally I am just not comfy with playing something that very extensively breaks the lore. I can bend things, but not make them snap. If I was to just trundle through with it I'd be super self-conscious about it and feel that I'd have to excuse myself to the people that I am playing with because I am bringing something to their RP they might not accept and I really don't feel okay with doing that. I do not want to force things on my surroundings.
