It's their character, so however they're playing it is the correct way. If they aren't following the alignment or background they have written down, as you interpret them, then either you are reading it wrong or the wrong thing is written down.The only times when such criticism is warranted is when it would violate the meta-rules of the group (e.g. if the group says you can't kill children, because it hits too close to home for some of the players); or if the player doesn't understand the setting, and the DM needs to set the player straight.I had an issue at the beginning of my campaign with one player who wanted to play a recreational drug user, which is flat-out not something that could happen in my setting, so I had to correct the player.</blockquote>
