Except the things you read here? You don't have to have read any character profiles to know that Samus' char is really a male for instance
Just saying...
Personally, if I played a char with a really big secret, I probably wouldn't post that any place here either... Maybe in my guildforum, but some of the fun COULD be in people actually figuring it out, and get their reaction if they OOCly realizes it. But I understand that you posted it here, Samus, since it was more of a "your ideas for how to pull this off", at least how I understood it. I still think it's a really cool idea btw.
That's pretty much I -would- do if we had more than one character slot. I'd roll one Azyria with crafting/gathering classes and one Blue Moon with Lancer and both would look identical... but the name above their heads would be different, so no one would ever assume unless deep RP was involved, and even then, I dunno.
However, as I have no intention of paying for that additional slot, I'm stuck telling people that I'm going with double-identity because the name above the character's head can't be changed. However, I'm sure if I did the above, it would be months before anyone would have any suspicions if ever so yeah... I don't expect anyone to realistically figure it out IC.
