#and he kept trying to give me fantasy-flavored (or barely at all) fallout characters...

I'm running a game rn that is 5e D&D; and one of my players, while giving me a usable character he like also rly, didn't take into consideration my setting, which is entirely homebrew. and unfortunately, just the vision he has for the character, while cool as he'll just... isn't something I want in my campaign, + it just doesn't make sense. so he's going to make a new character. he even acknowledged like 'yeah i was just doing something that seemed fun and scratched an itch' essentially. but here's the thing I told him he could keep the character, if he wanted, but if he did it was with the understanding that the like really out there shit he kept asking to do was just not on the board at this time. which isn't fair to him, but it's also not fair to me because 1. it was disrespecting my setting, and 2. I don't want to keep saying no to my player(s)... it fucking sucks. but he made a character that is like an inch off kilter just enough that I kept being the bad guy saying no. but he understands that, and we will be making him a new char that's more in the vibe of the setting. and he'll be happier because he'll get to do stuff he wants, and I also won't be turning him down on stuff
