You just have to make it believable. Â You just have to sell, as it were, the story really, really well.
...and also accept that you'll be labeled, regardless of the story's factual plausibility, as a total snowflake. But if one can live with people thinking that (and that's really just a question of one's sensitivity as an individual), then any job in the lore is accessible even without a story behind it (the age old "How did you learn White Magic?" "None of your business." comes to mind).
I've seen people do an amazing job with story justifying how it happened. Personally, I prefer stories that happen thru rp.
I stopped caring about what other people outside of my rp groups think about my character or my rp several years ago.
