For me, it's whether their skills are properly justified. If say, you intend to portray a character whose a renowned swordsmen, then I would expect to instances within their history that reflect how they perfected this particular art. It doesn't have to some elaborate tale or a bullet point reference to every little activity they have ever partaken in. Just enough to suspend my disbelief. In this sense, I'm less concerned with people who want to play a prodigy of some sort, but rather how they go about doing so.Â
Of course, this is all relative, given even the most reasoned backstory can get carried away at times. Suffice it to say, as long as the character is interesting, I'm pretty lenient.
