I want to narrow in on this, right here. You are absolutely correct that Warren's name isn't lore-abiding. I also fully expect people to see that and write it off. That's fine, but I've done my best to explain where his name comes from (posted it here somewhere, too) and I've made a number of veiled references to Warren's non-standard upbringing. I don't expect anyone to notice these things, or care about them. But, they're there. That's why I get defensive when people look at a snippet of someone's RP, or their name, or their anything-face-value, and make judgements about that person, their RP or their ability. When I meet people ICly with non-standard names, I just assume they aren't from around here. I hope people do the same for me.
Not saying that this is what you've done, but I wanted to show how this could be done.
Ultimately, the only people who'll learn Warren's backstory are the folks he tells it to, and I'm fine with that. If you're the type to write me (or anyone) off due to some overheard Quicksand banter or something, you're probably not the sort of person I want to roleplay with anyway. There's plenty of other reasons to not want to RP with me!
