Sorry if there's alredy a thread like this.
For some reason people dont like using names in the neath.
People seem more often to be named for their work,accomplishments or quirks.
The soft-hearted widow, the merry gentleman, The dreaming scholar and etc!
It's quite rare to see someone ingame with an actual name.
But its even rarer to see a player character without a name!
So since im bored and this concept amused me:
What whould your character's "Title" be?
Title may not be the best word for it but im not sure what else to use.
As for myself it whould probably be "The reckless scholar" or something. Anything that fits nemesis ambition quite well, involves dangerous+watchful and the word scholar.

No cats or investigations of photographers please.
Same goes for Sparring,Loitering,Suppers and Games of chess! Sure I'll accept them occasionaly but I wont help you grind them most of the time.
But calling cards are highly welcome! (Got too much influence for cards at the moment. Sorry!)

You've just enjoyed a Private Supper with Nicolas Cage12330 (Nicolas Cage in Fallen London). How lucky they are!
May I say: life holds no further ambitions for me now.

Why, Daniel Redwood would be the Masked Gentleman of course!
Something fun about my character is that I almost always try to pick the "good" paths (the C.V.R., the Consumptive Cryptozoologist) while also being an agent of the Masters. It's interesting to have a magnanimous of 40 and Connected: The Master's of the Bazaar 17 when most descriptions of the Bazaar's agents are horrid amoral monsters (who are sometimes literal monsters). The Benevolent Bazaarine perhaps?
I would also like to say the character titles are one of my favorite things about this game. In two words Failbetter can describe a character that many games would have to spend a paragraph telling us about them. I'm very bad with names so I'm glad instead of Jane or Robert I can just remember the Anemic Baker or One Armed Cat Catcher.

Yep. I made him take Nemesis solely because there were bees involved.
For the most part, he's Dangerous and Ruthless, with Shadowy as a dump stat. Any option that involves incoherent screaming and sudden or violent bouts of rage is automatically taken. It may be a flanderization, but I couldn't resist.

The Sanguine Littérateur.
And yes, the ambiguity of meaning is deliberate. Although Wine-Soaked Poetess works just as well.

Hmm. Well, giving that I'm playing as Alex Mercer... possibly the Hooded Outlaw or the Ravenous Hunter. Neither fit him very well, but it's a little difficult to put him in those sorts of terms. If we're going to go a little more titular, the Hooded Scourge. The Thief of Faces, if he wasn't keeping his real nature secret. Dana would probably be the Seditious Reporter or the Incendiary Reporter.
Nicolas Cage would be the Dramatic Mercenary.

Sir Frederick Tanah-Chook, the Libertarian Esotericist - this title comes from my Celebrated Backer reward for the Silver Tree Kickstarter! It's based on my own strong left-liberal beliefs and my longrunning interest in oddities.
Reginald, Lord Hubris, the thirteenth Baron of Hubris Hall, infamously known as the Bloody Baron, and very bloody he is too - bloody-minded, bloody-tempered, bloody-handed. He's a villain who might have walked out of a Holmes story, all ferocity and calculating intellect. And a collection of exotic beasts.
Juniper Brown, the Ill-Fated Orphan. Another character with strong pop-culture influences, this time Scorsese's Hugo - an child with a gift for tinkering, left without a family after a string of tragedies. Like Hugo, Juniper has been making her way up in the world through exploring the arts of horology, toymaking and stage-illusions - though in the Neath, those are trades with rather more sinister associations.
Esther Ellis-Hall, the Fashionable Fabian. Very much inspired by the introduction of the Campaigner profession, and the idea of the line between a champagne socialist and a militant revolutionary being rather blurred in the Neath. I suppose there's a little of Sayers' Soviet Club in there, but not much.

Given my history of community involvements on this forum, I imagine I would probably be the Magnamious Scholar. Though, I have hung that torch up as of late... perhaps I'll pick it up again once I get more on my feet.

My alt already goes by a title: Seeker of Names. I just need to get him/her/it to a point where she/he/it is ACTUALLY Seeking.

DragonRidingSorceress is an Author of good standing. Mostly good standing. She's happy to accept any social action except Photographer and Loitering, but requests warnings before duping/poisoning/etc.
Seeker of Names is a... being with an obsession. They're willing to accept all invitations.
One who seeks to know all that is and may be. One who dances in the silence of the void. One whose fantasies make the reality come alive.

I think that I would be the Sky Dreamer.
Though I must say that the reveur part of my forum name originally comes from finding Fallen London through The Night Circus, it does fit with what fascinates my character, I love the dreams and Parabola and only became a Seeker because of all the North related mentions on the dream cards.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.
