I don't tend to go out and "break" the lore, I am not really a fan of the idea that if I think something is a cool idea, I can just go out and do that without regard for the continuity and consistency in the world. So you wouldn't see me invent a new type of magic. But I do go in and study the lore when I have an idea and see how bendable it is, or if there's a hoop or even a gap. Depending on what I find, I may scrap or go ahead with an idea. It's a standard I keep myself to, and sure it's something I like to see other people do too - and I expect that of my FC, but they all know/agree with that. Otherwise it's nothing I force on people, but I do have my own steps to get out of RP I feel is too far away from what I can get involved in, and still keep to my standard. That doesn't make everyone who doesn't stick to it a baddie, I just know when it's time to go before things get too painful for everyone involved - It's generally a mutual waste of time if RP styles don't mix, imo.Â
I've always disliked it when someone calls others a lore-nazi or a tight elitist and similar, because I often find that it's simply people akin to myself who gets up being labelled exactly because we sometimes pull ourselves out of things. I'm sure there are bullies out there who will whisper you for 2 months about how you cant do this and that, it just sucks to be put into the same box with them when you're not like that yourself (even if you can see that you're not and all of that, it's the stigma in it really).Â
In your case, I'd probably have quirked an eyebrow and started googling/asking my geeks about stuff cause I'd be curious.Â
