Before Gallipoli, it was discussed that we should come up with aliases to call each other, and have backstories to speak of while there was downtime in the war. At the time, we knew the Regency was there, but they wouldn't be so visible. It was enough to not be asked too much by the natives of the time, and allowed us the conditions we needed to blend in as a unit of reinforcements that was beached at the wrong location.

The situation may be different here, but I'd suggest we come up with different aliases from before, considering we'll be facing the Regency out in the open. Using your actual name isn't suggested- it could cause problems and endanger the rest of this cell if you do so. Try to pick something you'll remember easily enough.

Feel free to suggest names and ideas for yourselves, or help others. The BCE has a list of them you can pick from. The sooner we can compile a list, the easier it will make it for all of us to recall while in the middle of the mission.

[Boy, talking like this is a reminder of speaking with soldiers before battles. That was a long time ago, and he's getting back into the hang of it. Also, guess who's bad at suggesting names? THIS GUY. Thankfully, the BCE has a posh name generator that can be found here.]

ugh gross i'm not using a western name
"lily la-minnings" as if, i can't even fucking say that
you're all gonna sound like such shitheads with names like these

[gerechtigkeit]

Surprisingly, this list is more cohesive than names people suggested in our last mission.

does it really matter THAT much?

The BCE has provided me with Ravenswood for my House's name.

I'll continue to use Danielle.

[gerechtigkeit]

I'll remember that. It works for the situation, and won't be difficult to recall. My thanks.

@ponytail ; private

[horsepowered]

There's value in keeping mine as is, I suspect. Speaking long term, of course, and not for my own benefit.

[gerechtigkeit]

How exactly will giving your real name not put you in danger in all of this?

@LOUISLAMOUR

[omniavincit]

John Arable.

[gerechtigkeit]

That works well enough. You've been brought in recently, haven't you?

@bucket

[lefthandfree]

I don't really go by the name I'm listed as here, so I don't know that it matters if I use it still.

Is there a name you have planned for yourself?

[gerechtigkeit]

You're not the first to argue that about your actual name. My main concern is giving too much away about ourselves without realizing it.

No, not yet. I'll come up with something soon enough.

@FEATHERBRAIN

[bivariant]

Is this going to be integrated into our current training?

[gerechtigkeit]

It was towards the end of our training for Gallipoli, yes. If you're referring to the droids, then no.

@CRUELLA

[reillumination]

They need a better list. If I wanted people to know I had an alias, I'd name myself just that.

[ Honestly, "Alias" sounds better than half the names designated by the BCE. HE'S JUST SAYING "WATSON UPPERTON" SOUNDS FAKE, BUT OKAY. ]

[bivariant]

Adopt your user name as part of your alias.

[ whats a cruella ]

[northerndragon]

There's been some indication that the Regency knows who I am. I don't know what can be done for it.

Jonathan Ravenswood, this time.

[This isn't terrible; he knows that both the Starks and the recent Targaryens have Blackwood blood, and Blackwood blood is nothing to be ashamed of.]

[gerechtigkeit]

...I see. I don't believe much can be done for it right now, but be careful, all the same.

That works just as well. You'll be sharing the same last name with Stormborn, then?

@DIEDHARD

[mylawn]

Guess I'll hope numbers are socially acceptable.

[let him be straight with u....all those names sound fake]

[whitehair]

sorry to break it to u but they're not

@PERSONALSTAFF

[garbagepilot]

They kidnapped some of us during Gallipoli, I'm pretty sure fake names isn't going to take back everything they already know about COST.

[whitehair]

you should still choose a name anyway
The fakest fake name

@QUICKSILVER

[millimeter]

LMAO
wow
did this happen last time too??

[whitehair]

with these weirdos? probably

@BALLISLIFE

[raisedbybirds]

More codenames to an already tedious mission.

[mylawn]

Don't like dressing up?

[jk he also hates dressing up]

Do try to refrain from acting so foolishly on the mission. We're to venture into hostile territory soon enough; we should be doing so as a cohesive unit, not one with such clear fissures in it. It's best we have the proper names to refer to each other as, no matter what the Regency may know of our true identities.

And no matter how stupid you perceive such aliases to be.

[ The level of maturity she's seen thus far is astounding... ]

If, however, you would prefer to be wiped from existence, walk about with your true name for them to overhear. You'll only have yourself to blame.

[NOT HERE]

[northerndragon]

[THAT'S MY WOMAN!]

@GIMLI

[faenthras]

Is this really necessary?

[mylawn]

Just let them get it out of their system.

@BROKEBACKSTAB

[handsomefoil]

I think I can pass off as a Miles McKormick

Or should I just keep Henry
and change my last name to something relatively bourgeois like Merriweather

[gerechtigkeit]

[Thank you, Henry, for being helpful.]

The first one works easier on the tongue, honestly. I'd rather have a name that's simple and easy to speak without slipping up over it.

@HOTTOPIC

[cookeries]

It appears some here have difficulty enough with the required attire, perhaps we shouldn't further complicate matters?

[ No, really. How are people going to stay alive when they don't know if they're even dressed correctly for a spider court? ]

[gerechtigkeit]

Unfortunately if we don't, the Regency will more than likely search through bloodlines and eradicate any name it hears as opposition.

[Look, just because Siegfried doesn't know how to work a tie doesn't mean he doesn't know how to dress for spider court, gosh Ignis!!!]

@ENTERTHEDRAGON

[ryuji]

Frances Rowley?

Eff this name generator, dude

[lefthandfree]

Hey, Franny.

@GOTTAGUN

[widow_of_the_crag]

What sort of names are Western? My house name is Westerling, does that count?

[gerechtigkeit]

Ah- by "western" it's referring to culture rather than a place. But if your last name is Westerling, I can help find an alternative.

Was there any name in particular that you were thinking of?

[lonelywar]

[This might actually be perceived as a "late response" to this thread, as it takes Ashitaka some time to decide whether or not he wished to share it. In the end, he decides he should do so.]

When I was a captive of the Regency, and when I was speaking to Kebuchet myself, I noticed that they seemed to know everything about me. Not only my name. Not only the circumstances of my life, but the events in the world that it tied into.
They knew everything.

In a moment of despair, I asked if this meant that our fighting was pointless, and I recalled what happened to Xici. Perhaps it was a mistake to do such a thing, but I was not thinking clearly at the time.
Kebechet said that the erasure of a single person from history was a violation of an accord the Regency had made. They did not seem to believe what I told them.

I am not so foolish to believe that Kebechet was telling me the truth. So do not enlighten me of this; I know.
But this is a different war to be fought than the one in Gallipoli and France. If I do not need to take on another name to blend in, I do not see the purpose in taking any other name but my own.
If it is only the Regency we worry about, they would see through it regardless.

I am unsure if their knowledge extends to everyone. I would be unable to speak to the wisdom of concealing your identity in the future. I only speak for myself, and for what I was told.

[He's never been very good for pretending anyway.]

@PANTSONFIRE

[jailbirds]

the fact that you say you don't know if their knowledge "extends to everyone" is reason enough for fake names
if we don't know shit then just do it anyway
it's not like it's fuckin hard to do & it can't hurt

besides some of these idiots need to learn how to play a character & believe me, a name helps

@SWORDARTONLINE

[prizeneck]

i dont get it
in galipolli we had to be under an anzac disguise sure but
i thought here we were representing cost
how would them knowing our names be a danger

@PANTSONFIRE

[jailbirds]

what harm does it do to use fake names anyway?
besides it's easier to play a role if you're being someone else

@MODERATUS

[bloodings]

do what you want. im going to use saber.

seriously, "cecil delafontaine"? "maximilian montcroix"? lame.

[ryuji]

Sup cecil

@DRYERASE

[eyedrop]

it's a logical proposition.

i won't be using 'michael twitter', though.

@FEATHERBRAIN

[bivariant]

What about "Bryce Waynewright"?

@LORDTLDR

[decisions]

Only if I can have as many names as I do now.

[ is he joking? who knows. ]

[bivariant]

You have three, that's not a difficult task.

[ percy. de. rolo. right? ]
