Maybe not technically, but if you do really plan to RP this and talk about it IC, you should prepare for a fair amount of eye-rolling. Even if it's not exactly lore breaking, some people might take issue with it. That's not to say you shouldn't do it if you really want to, but just be aware of possible social consequences from the more strict end of the RP crowd.

Honestly, to the point where I'd make sure you have a set group of people who are willing to back this up and accept it in RP before trying to do walk-ups with "I've been alive for 10,000 years" or whatever, so you look a little less crazy (and not in a good, interesting way) and it's easier for people around you to play along with it.

I'm not going to tell you not to do it if that's how you want to play the game, but I've seen a lot of people on this forum and others have an idea that isn't 100% impossible in the lore, but is very far-fetched, and everyone says "No, technically it's not lore-breaking." so they RP it and then no one will RP with them because it's too extreme. While something may not be impossible in the game's lore, sometimes there's a certain social faux pas that comes with it.

Play what you want, of course, but I always feel I need to write up a disclaimer every time I see one of these types of threads. I hope it works out and I hope you find a solid group to explore the character with, but be prepared to rework it if it doesn't get the results you're looking for.
