== Proposal for naming policy: Characters ==

I tried to submit this before, but it didn't show up on your talk page, which might be because I didn't provide a subject title. Resubmitting now. I tried to formalize unofficial policy where I could, while making sure characters received their most recognizable names.

Personally, I would flip rule 2 around: adding 'The' in front of a name plays a part into their character as being inhuman: The Siberian is almost a title, Siberian more of a nickname.

1: The title of an article about a cape should be the first cape-name used after their appearance:
*Imp, not Aisha.
*Regent, not Hijack.
*Flechette, not Foil.
2: If a name features the word 'The' it should not be included in the article title:
*Siberian, not The Siberian.
3: The title of an article about a non-cape, or a cape without a cape-name should be the combination of their first and last name (if known):
*Alan Barnes, not Alan.
*Annette Hebert, not Annette Rose Hebert.
*Nicholas Vasil.
*Charlotte.
4. The title of an article about a unnamed character should be the name from the character tags:
*Ignis Fatuus.
5. Characters part of series should have their number in the series added to title in roman numerals:
*Butcher XIV.
*Unicorn III.
6. Characters with identical names should have a marker within parentheses to distinguish them. Please use the first difference available: [civilian name; organization; general location].
*March (Gold Coin), March (New York).
*Leister (Protectorate), Leister (Wards).
