nickname opt-in;

[baltimores]

Amos will often assign people a nickname and then unrelentingly call them by it forever. Do you like said nickname? Doesn't matter. Do you understand why he's calling you that? Also doesn't matter. He's gonna do it and you can't stop him.

That said, that would kind of suck to impose on someone else in roleplay, so here is an opt-in page for Amos to give your character a nickname.

Some things to know!

> ooc
>> applicable to positive and negative cr, e.g. he's used "Tiny" on two separate people in both "Tiny (affectionate)" and "Tiny (derogatory)" fashion
>> once he's got a nickname for you it's going to stick, so changing your mind on it to get him to call your character something else is not likely to yield results, unless there's a dramatic shift in their relationship (most likely negative)

> ic
>> nicknames can be based on physical characteristics, e.g. the aforementioned "Tiny" (both sincerely and ironically), "Red" (for someone with red hair), and such
>> nicknames can be based on titles, e.g. "Cap", "Boss", and such
>> nicknames can be abbreviated from their actual names or something pretty close to it, e.g. "Bobbie" became "Babs", "Chrisjen" became "Chrissie", and such
>> nicknames can be based on Point A to Point E leaps in logic he will not be bothered to explain, e.g. "Clarissa" became "Peaches" because she went by "Melba" when they first met
>> it is entirely possible your character will have no idea why he calls them that. 50/50 chance on if he'll actually explain if asked
