You specified three is you limit, and your uncertainty on whether or not you want to RP. Having the three there "just in case" - you don't even have to play them if you don't want to - will ensure that they're there if you decide you want to take the plunge, and help you avoid having to pay the transfer fee again in the future. Plus, if you get the special edition, you get a free Fantasia or two... so you could even change the characters "waiting in the wings" to whatever else catches your fancy.
... That got a bit rambly, but hopefully it was informative and helpful.
Edit in response to your edit!: Unfortunately, there's not really any marker to imply that you are on trial. However (and I'm not entirely sure you can do this in trial but you might), there is a Character Info block. It's a bit limited in space, but you can use it to identify such things as gear level and RP character summaries. You access it by clicking on the Party icon, right-clicking yourself, and choosing... I think it's "Update Character Info" or something like that. If you examine folks, sometimes their character status window will have a little word bubble icon - hover over that and it'll show you what they put in their info block!
The two Miqo'te are on different servers, due to free trial restrictions. So I'll have to create new alts on Cactuar/Adamantoise anyway, and leave the other where she is.
I admit I was surreptitiously checking to see whether anyone would complain about the names I gave, which were entirely "just let me into the game already" placeholders. (If anyone is wondering: Nargacuga and Palico.) Since they are thus far unremarked upon, I assume they're good enough to pass muster as lore-valid.
Otherwise, I'm open to spending even more money for a character rename. Then again, I don't have any real inspirations for lore-friendly names, so it'll likely just be hitting the Random button until I see something I can tolerate the sound of.
I'll try the right-click-on-self thing, thanks. I was looking through the various UI bits and menus, and didn't see anything like that, but I hadn't tried the Party option.
