Names
You are a Free; your name should start with a Capital Letter, as slave names are always written in lower case. Do not CAPITILIZE EVERY LETTER. One, it sounds like you are shouting your name; two, it looks like you are drawing attention to yourself too much; and, three, many Rarius capitalize every letter, so leave that to them.

Please do not use the same name you normally use in other realms. First off, You want to choose a name that is or sounds Gorean. Second, if your friends from the other rooms see your name on Gor, they will all come down to visit. Sometimes, this is not a wise idea, as they may not know Gor and would get into possibly embarrassing situations, or they may come down to talk to you of the other room. We try to keep the conversation on Gor, Gor. Not which Master in the BDSM room is screwing over His subbie, or whatever.

Please do not use a name already in use on Gor. Or anything that sound even similar. Lady Snow and Snow Lady are just too much the same. The same as SunFire and Sun Fyre. C’mon, that’s the same *grin*. May Odin help you if the other name gets into trouble! Then you will be blamed.

Use real letters; try to stay away from symbols. It is a dead giveaway to Vampires and/or very young players. Plus, it’s easier to read Lady Mystique, then it is to read £@d¥ §TO?, not to mention that symbols do not show up on every computer screen the same.

Try to stay away from such obvious slave names as “silky slave”, “submissive fantasy”, or “cum slut”. Names such as “Lady Switch” and “Lonely One” really have no place either. It is a bid for attention. Choosing a name that may be mistaken as a Rarius should be avoided. In the chance of a raid, they have no idea if you are male or female, and there should NEVER be any doubt that you are a Free Woman. There are many beautiful names available to use. Keeping to something that is feminine, lovely and reflects you isn’t difficult. Check out any of the baby name sites, ask your Sisters, or speak to me in private and I will help You choose.


Pics for Your page
This is the picture some people choose to use as what their character looks like. A Free Woman is beautiful, graceful, modest and above reproach. Your pic should reflect this. Since you are a Free Woman, remember a few basic rules. And these ARE rules:
1. no navels showing
2. no breasts, bums, long legs or vaginas showing
3. no earrings, bracelets or short necklaces (this is slave jewelry)
4. nothing obviously masculine
5. no obviously blatant sexual positions
6. no bondage pictures, shiny black leather
7. no weapons other than a dagger or quiva, remember, You are not warriors.

I realize some other rooms may not follow these rules, but they are by the scrolls, I will ask you to choose another picture. I also ask that the description You turn in or bio matches Your chosen pic so choose carefully, not just because it is pretty or catches Your eye. If You have trouble ask, many of us have large collections that did catch our eye, We might even have "You".
These are a few things that will most definatly get turned down as oics to go on the web site.

1. Anime pictures
2. Cartoons
3. Obvious comic book characters
4. Vampire type pictures
5. Angels, animals, ghouls….you get the drift

Even if you see others with this type of picture, do not ridicule them or correct them. If they wish to show their ignorance of Gorean culture this way, well, that’s their problem isn’t it? You know better.

In closing, choose a picture and name that portrays YOU. Something you will be comfortable with, and proud to have represent You.
