There are a million ways to work the 'dragoon' angle. From being retired, having left, being trained by a retired dragon, etc. I personally believe those are acceptable ideas. If others do not, that's fair.Â
Now, disagreement is not a reason to be rude or bash on someone's RP. The point of RP is having fun and work together in different stories involving our characters with other people's characters. If the label of 'Special Snowflake' is now attached to people who RP dragoons, then that's alienating people over something considerably trivial and that can be worked around.Â
If someone claims to be say... the Azure Dragoon, then yeah, I will raise my brow too and won't be too thrilled to interact with that person. But if someone says something like: "I was a dragoon, but retired some years ago." or "I left the order after the Dragonsong War ended." I think that's fine.
I think its fine for former dragoons to teach a new generation and if they want pass their soulstones to them. I think Drachen armors can also be passed down to the next generation. Those are objects. Skills can be taught.Â
The most important thing, lore/IC aside, is to be respectful. If you don't like someone's RP, that's fine. That's not an excuse to bash them for their choices, their character or how they RP. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and a right to express it politely. If a person doesn't want to interact with Dragoon players because they want to adhere to the Lorebook like its the holiest book in the Realm, go for it. Just remain polite and don't take the fun of others, please.
