For example, to get around monks not fitting the western europe vibe of a game, you could just call yourself a 'pugilist', a western boxing master, and not call it ki, but 'fury' points or something instead. That means slapping a different skin on it, it's still the same class or spell mechanically, it just looks different, it's described differently. a common way of fixing a lot of these issues is to 'reflavour' stuff. Just know it's more difficult, you're going to have to be prepared to really pull out all the stops and RP the hell outa that.
By all means try it or ask to try it, it can make for some excellent RP opportunities and create something memorable. That is not to say that exceptions to the above couple can't ever work, they're just harder to pull off.

Not all official races are welcome in all games, ask first. Bugbears are a traditionally monstrous and villainous race, even though it's official and in one of the official books.
Your bugbear might not be welcome in a game that currently has 2 elves, a dwarf and a human, where the world looks like lord of the rings. The level of ' Tolkienesque'-ness and what races are adventurers. What do I mean by tone? A number of things: This can either be an amazing character, or an awful one who isn't appreciated, depending on the tone of the game. Let's say you have an idea for an amazing character, a wise-cracking, steam-powered motorcycle-riding, gunslinging bugbear named 'the sheriff'. The DM might cover a lot of this is a session 0, but if he misses a few, these are good things to ask about during character creation. Whether the DM is starting a new game, or you are joining an existing one, it is important to ask about a few things. When making a character it is important to match it to the tone of the campaign. So without further ado, I present, the guide to the unspoken rules of character creation: 1: Try to match the tone and setting
