One of the main reasons why I want to use the name Yukimura is because it is the current name of one of my characters I plan to transfer to Balmung and I don't wanna pay the extra fee for a name change along with the transfer fee but you're right.
Using other characters names is always a strange feeling for me. On the rare occasion I get the urge to tribute, I don't want constant comparison to the originals. So I often give tribute through very subtle means, maybe through their birthday, past exploits or aesthetics. Perhaps that would be something too. I wonder if you could use an alternate reading for Yukimura.
So I'll go with your idea with the alias. I can find a proper name that fits a Miqo'te and say that after losing his parents and being alone for awhile he decided to change his name so he can try to forget his past and "start over"
I think if I try to do it that way I can have a character that will eventually learn to move on and truly accept the things that happened. Maybe in the end he'll learn that it isn't about who you were but what you become and believe that he was destined to be Yukimura or something lol.Â
Idk that may be a bit cheesy but I might have to stick with that.
Do you think this would fit into my backstory and give other players something to look into if they wind up forming a deeper connection with my character? Or do you think I should do something else? Do you have any idea's on past exploits that I could use?
