No you do not, you can still participate without following the lore, with some exceptions such as some traits that follow lore, or some prompts or quests that involve lore. Overall, the story and world is supposed to be very open, but you don't have to join the world and can make your character be in whatever world/story you want.
Your characters can have whatever personality/occupations you want. Be free and create!
