[MERGE] And then there was one

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

UPDATE: Due to the decline in activity there is no longer a need for separate [MISC] and [DISCUSS] posts. The discussion posts will be linked as usual with the miscellaneous discussion taking place beneath them. New posts will still go up at 2,500 - 3,000.

general: characters with no name

As in literally no given name at all, not even a regular title or nickname they go by. The narrative never reveals their name, so how would you go about playing them and someone asks what their name is, or asks for them to the general public and all?

Depending on the character, you can have them make up a name.

I once played a character who was never referred to by name. Through out the series and in the credits she's simply referred to as "the Girl." It was a very silly drama. She wanted to write movie scripts so I had her make up a fake name that "she could be remembered by! Like people remember Steven Spielberg and Mickey Mouse! What about...?" And if anyone questioned her she threatened to kill them. :3c

I'm not sure what kind of character you have in mind but I'm sure there are some creative ways you can get around it.
