Be ready to stick to your guns on your concept, but also ask the prospective DM about it. If he says your concept won't work in the game, it's best to change your concept. Just be sure it's the concept and not mechanics he doesn't like.

Backgrounds like that may work among friends, and might be quite fun to play, but when you're applying for a game make the character have a believable background that blends into the setting, trying to force a setting to fit your character doesn't work and is kind of poor taste.
