Sparkle F Wolf Teen.

So if it wasn't obvious, what do you think about putting species, gender and age in your name?

Personally, I think it should go in the bio. Like, why make your name look messy and waste the bio? I always click to see a bio if I'm interested in the character and when I see it's blank it makes me think they you're not serious about the character. Same for groups, if a group doesn't have a bio I don't join, I don't like group tags either. But age, species and gender take the biscuit a bit.

I've seen names so long they've had to shorten words like ''Muffin M Teen Wlf''

And to be fair, it's obvious that ''wolf'' doesn't need to go in most peoples names since... If you're a canine, 8/10 you're a wolf. I saw a ''Mufasa M Lion'' once. Come on, it was a huge feline with a mane and it was yellow, it's hardly going to be a panther.

I usually don't, since in my opinion it just clutters up the name. All but one of my characters have just their name (and I don't ever use the exception anyway so I'm just going to delete it). For example, my main character's name is "Reithe," not "Reithe M Wolf," and another of my characters is "Hourglass," not "Hourglass M Deer." Somehow I don't like the way the gender and species looks... I guess it's like when I write my name, I write "MadMoai," not "MadMoai F Human." |D

I have a character name "Breeze" not "Breeze F Adult Wolf" that's stupid. But when I joined a pack, things got different. Since I was the alpha I had to name myself "Breeze F Alpha". I have a 40 member pack so it's nice to put your rank so people won't think your a hunter when your a fighter. I'm still wondering whether or not to make everyone put their rank or to just state their rank in their bio :/

I would put rank and gender in the bio, since your pack mates should know you're the alpha anyway it shouldn't need to be in your name. People outside your pack realistically wouldn't know who the alpha female was just by looking it takes something out the RP too. If I had my own group we wouldn't have tags or anything in our names, just names as it should be.

I do this sometimes for my characters, for example, Nira Lioness, just to let those bio-non-reader-derps know stuff. Not everyone sees you, and they might want to look at the name or bio.
I sometimes would have to if my species isn't obvious, so people don't have to stomp on me to find my bio, if I don't talk for a while.
I honestly do it, but not the most often. It would be a waste of names sometimes.
If it's obvious, I don't do it most often, but the gender part is where I might have to so people don't mistake me too often. ;-;

Good advise

I will sometimes put the name of the species in my character's name, depending on what species they actually are. If my character was a wolf, lion, tiger, cat, ect. I wouldn't put it there. But if it's an animal that isn't a common feline or canine to play as; bobcat, jaguarundi, margay, ocelot, dingo, coyote, dhole, etc. I will put it there so others know what kind of animal I am right off the bat. I even put the species tag on there even if it's a non-canine and non-feline species; raccoon, skunk, bear, badger, wolverine, porcupine, bat, tanuki, owl, duck, rabbit, etc. I put it there, just so they know what others are dealing with... depending on the RP.
I never put my character's age in the name tag. I will often times put the gender, just because most people think my character is one gender, when it's the opposite. It's to avoid confusion.
When it comes to the bio, I like to write a few things about the animal I am playing. If it's an animal people aren't too familiar with, I will write down facts, tips, and hints about what the animal is like, what they eat, where they live, and how they behave. Then that's when I write the short little bio about the character itself. Pretty much all my roleplay characters have a bio of some kind.

I always put that stuff in my bio. I always have this format for my bios:
Species:
Gender:
Mate:
Mother:
Father:
Children:
Paragraph on character's personality and history

However if I make an uncommon species, I put the species in my name when I'm first introducing the character. Then I take it away after a while.

I think you're doing it right. I must form a protest of some sort to bring back bio reading. Go back to a simpler time when names were names and not mini-bios. My character is a species I made up called a Velquix (Like a fox/cat) and I have to tell people a lot to read my bio because they think I'm a wolf with a cat tail or something! Very annoy sometimes.

Personally, I do not like it at all.
I mean, what is the point of putting your species in your name when you are obviously a lion, wolf, of whatever else you are?
If someone wants to know your species and you don't have the average species then you can just tell them, or better yet make a biography and tell them to look at it.

The M or F tags in the names of character's looks really messy and makes the name look cluttered. :/
Again, people should just make a biography so they don't need to put M or F in their name. c:

As for the group tags, I like them.
Like if you're roleplaying and you see a rival pack member approaching, you know they are apart of the rival pack right away because they have the tag in their name.
It's also nice for large groups for people to not have to look at every single biography to know which ranks everyone has.
