Good day, fellow Etrayans.

Concerning Antigone's warning regarding our real names, it occurs to me that we would benefit from collaborating on this front.

To that end, I wish to open discussion.

For those who have chosen a name, please respond with what you have selected, that we may know what to call you.

For those who have not, you may use this posting to discuss your ideas or invite suggestions from others.

As for myself, I shall be using "Lucien", the name of a character from a novel in my world.

You might want to reconsider. I had a conversation with Antigone and she thinks that using previously used names or aliases still poses a risk of being enslaved.

Would not the same apply to any name we choose ere our arrival to this land, then? I am no more Joss than Bahamut is Lucien.

I think it has more to do with the strength of the connection. Just because you don't have a personal attachment to 'Joss', doesn't mean other people haven't had a history of associating that name with you. This is all theory, at least on my part, so I can't say for certain.

[odinpusrex]

The hold is influenced by others connection to a name, and not the person who bears it? That seems a rather odd distinction, particularly when these new names would now hold a similar history, what with their established public recognition a week prior to our arrival.

I find your theory buckling under scrutiny.
