Names

To maintain the immersion and realism of the city, all character names must adhere to established standards. Your name is the first impression you give other players, and it should reflect a consistent, grounded identity within the game world.

Naming Requirements

• Realistic Formatting: Names must follow a standard "First Name, Last Name" format. Avoid names that are clearly non-human, nonsensical, or overly abstract.
• Serious Tone: Names should sound like those found in a real-world city. Avoid "joke" names, pop culture references (e.g., characters from movies or games), or names that clearly imply a specific role (e.g., "John Cop," "Mike Criminal," or "Officer Dave").
• Appropriateness: Names must not contain slurs, derogatory language, sexually explicit terms, or any content that violates our community conduct policies.
• Uniqueness: While we do not strictly ban common names, try to ensure your name feels unique to your character’s identity. Avoid using names that are identical to well-known figures or staff members to prevent confusion or intentional impersonation.

Prohibited Naming Practices

• Celebrity/Character Impersonation: Do not name your character after famous real-world celebrities, political figures, or copyrighted characters from fiction.
• Symbolic/Title Names: Avoid using titles (e.g., "Doctor," "Officer," "King," "General") as part of your display name. These titles are earned through roleplay and organizational progression.
• "Edgy" or Offensive Names: Names intended to be shocking, provocative, or offensive will be flagged for change. If your name is deemed inappropriate, you will be required to change it immediately; failure to do so may result in your character being removed from the server.
• Inconsistent Naming: Do not frequently change your character’s identity or name to avoid consequences or to "reset" your reputation. Your identity is part of your character’s history.
