^ as many posts have already said. By the end of the day, are you having fun? Do you enjoy writing your character? Do you like what's happening with it all and feel proud of your character's story? Then go for it, some people are stricter about it, some aren't, but neither matter so long as you're enjoying yourself.
Personal belief of mine that I follow is, if you're not okay with RP'ing with my character as he is.... Chances are you're not someone I want to RP with.
I've gone through 3 personas (this being my third) for RP. My first being a bit of a wreck in a similar situation as this. I ended up not liking it, not because of the lore behind dragoons making it difficult, but I didn't like his story I wrote and I felt a lil silly in the personality/traits I ended up choosing. I realized I wasn't enjoying how it felt because I was narrowing my sight on it and the title I wanted. Then I ended up fixing my char up to be a treasure hunter, new personality, different traits. I could've kept him a dragoon or if I wanted to, lancer, but I liked machinist at the time and I happened to like the idea of having a gun to go raiding aquapolis in with the Steel Blue firearm that was a relic of Ishgardian war.
Now look at me, I'm a red mage/magic philosopher before the class is even out.... Obviously I'm not gonna step out of bounds and make claims when I don't have lore/knowledge of the class yet, but I'm certainly not gonna associate myself in RP with someone who's gonna be a stickler and pester me about titles. At the same time, I wrote my char to be comfortable around the concept of being one even without the knowledge we'll have in less than 2 weeks. I'm pretty damn proud of it too and have only have had fun times in RP... so I'm pretty happy with everyone I've RP'd with so far and myself in the end.
