Naming your character

As this will be the first thing that other players will see when dealing with your character, choosing a name is a rather important step in the creation process.  Your character WILL NOT be allowed in QVI if a name is inappropriate (Da Killa, Deathbringer, sPaNkY, etc.) Ask if you are not sure.  No noble drow has a name that is too close to a common word; your character will not be allowed into QVI's highest ranks with a name that is simply a combination of drow words.  No drow takes a name that too closely resembles the name of any known drow dieties.  No surname begins with the "L" sound.  Choosing a surname is not required.  It is acceptable to alter the names or create a name based on these examples to further personalize your character.  It is further recomended that you look at the names of characters currently in the guild; try to avoid duplicating them.
