You should indeed RP whatever type of character you wish. It is you paying your subscription and if you believe in your character who is anyone else to tell you otherwise.

However the nature of the characters you are playing makes them hard to fit into much of the community in terms of being part of a guild.

Wanting to RP a good aligned orc guardsman in Cove simply isn't going to work as orcs are a Covian's mortal enemy and good aligned or not an orc isn't going to last long two seconds in a region that orcs have ravaged for generations, whether they have been zapped by a mage and are now good hearted or not.

Likewise it's hard to imagine such a creature taking up the virtues to train and lead the life of a paladin.

With regards to Cthu'lhu the ilithid, many RP guilds try not to add members with names taken directly from literature or films etc. Now this isnt always possible as of course many everyday names or names relevant to the era we are RPing in are often used in literature but rarely are names as unique as Cthu'lhu, so again you are really narrowing the niche within the community in which your characters could fit.

I actually did RP with your character in the Rose last week and have no complaints as to your RP it's just that the nature of your characters does make it hard for them to fit into the remaining guilds in our community due to their level of fantasy and also the names you have chosen.
