Alternative Character

[Ashe]

As far as I can tell from the spirit of the rules, it doesn't matter what the first, middle, or last name of the character is. What matters is what that character is primarily known as, in a single word. If, for example, your character's name was Rose Brykein, but the character went by Razzy, and that was your screen name, and that's the main thing you called your chara in roleplays, that wouldn't be a problem.

But yes. There are inconsistencies in the member base from earlier, where members were accepted in spite of this rule. I'll leave it up to another Staffer (SM or higher) to decide.

He's pretty much right. Yes, your character is called Rose Brykein (in full), and the other is Rose Buuzamaki (or whatever the hell that last name was), but they are both referred to in roleplays as "Rose", which is where the confusion lies. Essentially, we are looking at the written identity of the character and trying to avoid confusion, so regardless of different last names, we'd have two characters running through an event named "Rose", which could create problems (this is, of course, in the unlikely chance that the two of you are active in the same event).

If your character was named something like 'Rose Brykein' and went by "Bree" to her friends, which was how the character was identified in roleplaying ("Bree leaped over her opponent, throwing a quick insult in his direction") then there'd be no confusion.
