Actually not a bad idea. I might try this if I ever do another one shot where I’m the player.
Be quirky in return.
Play a human fighter with a wife, kids and extended family to support. He’s adventuring to get his family a better life. He has no interest in the other characters’ drama; he’s here to provide for his family and drama gets in the way of getting the job done so he can home and see them (also insist on plenty of downtime for precisely this reason).
A lot of the 5e groups I’ve experienced won’t have any idea what to do with that. It will (sadly, not literally) break their brains.
