So I don't see your char spouting off such.....interesting names as those.B - If you're going to go about using different aliases every day or so, they should fit the environment, culture, etc. of the area you are currently in.  I.E.  You wouldn't be wandering through Rahseman calling yourself Axelrod Rimthruster.  What little interaction with the evles that the Rahsemi have, they can still tell if an elf is pulling their leg when he introduces himself.C - Consider something else about your whole idea.  You're trying to hide your identity, right?  If you're trying to hide the fact that you're a winged elf, it's not going to work.   By your height, you have about a 12 ft. wingspan, which means that when you are standing normally on the ground, you have about one or two feet worth of wing sticking out above each shoulder, the rest hanging down folded behind your back.  That's quite conspicuous.  Wings aside, it's quite obvious to most anyone who's ever seen an elf that you are no normal elf.  The Avariel are thinner and more beautiful than most other elves, besides the fact that their eyes are noticably bigger.Hiding your identity won't be as easy as simply changing your alias every so often.  It'll make you a bit harder to follow or track down, since all someone has to ask is not "Have you seen an elf called Eleelaike Sudraug nearby?", all they have to ask is "Where's that winged elf?" if that doesn't work, it's "Have you seen a particularly handsome elf with big eyes lately?", to which all the human girls giggle and swoon.The namechanging is a neat idea, but try to be serious about it and remember that it won't be as effective as you think it might me.  It'll make you a little more difficult to find, and that's about the extent of it.BTW, I can't game on monday, I've got graduation to go to.</blockquote>
