Character

From Microcosm

A character is an object in the game controlled by a player.

Name

[edit]

The way the game handles a character's name has a perhaps surprising number of levels.

Connect Name

[edit]

This is the single word name that identifies and specifies the character within the game. It is used to connect to the game.

Full Name

[edit]

This is an expanded name, potentially incorporating a given name, a family name and a nickname, as follows: The character with the Connect Name Johnson might modify this into a Full Name as like so:

  • By adding a surname: e.g. Johnson Okeinwa
  • By adding a given name: e.g. Jennifer Johnson
  • By adding both a surname and given name, and having the Connect Name displayed as a nickname: e.g. Ben "Johnson" Montgomery
