Player's Guide

<h2>Name</h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">One of the first, but occasionally overlooked decisions to make when creating a new character is what they'll be called. It is terribly important however, because your character's name is how many players will think of him. They might not remember all the little scars that you've painstakingly described or that your blue eyes have silver flecks in them, but that name will recall all the exploits and relationships the character had when invoked.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">A few things to keep in mind when choosing a name are how common it was when you were born, how it'll be shortened for convenience, what the name means, and, especially if it's foreign or made up, if it looks like any other words that could be potentially embarrassing. For example, I once spotted someone whose name was one letter off from a type of frottage. I thought it was hilarious, but she didn't seem to. Your name might feature in how you developed during early childhood and how your identity was formed too depending on its characteristics. Keep in mind that your character has to have lived with whatever name you've given him.
