[This is written in a fairly neat handwriting, in a language that may look roughly similar to Arabic to those familiar with it. The paper on the bulletin board has a small note on top, with a lot of space on the rest of the page for people to fill in as needed.]

Since we're all from different worlds and cultures I think there are a few things we should probably get sorted out as a group. First thing should probably be how to address each other. Go ahead and write your name/title/what you want to be called, your gender identifier if that's important to you, and pronouns to use for you.


Kai, he/him

Comments

[aetherweaver]

Oh, what a good idea!

Nara'a Sunvara, male, he/him

[There's a note added later, upon seeing some of the others.]

Note that it is pronounced na-ra-ah, not nah-rah. Nara'a is my name, Nara would be my mother's name. The 'a indicates that I'm the first son.

[icanhearscreams]

[He's confused? Why do they need to write pronouns? But as much as he's tempted to ignore it, the urge to be socially polite is too strong.]

Ushiro Jun (宇白 順) (family name, given name). Male. he/him.

[And then there's something else written in Japanese next to it. It probably means nothing to people who don't speak Japanese.]

My personal pronoun is ore (おれ).

[ohaiyo_isekai]

How do you do fellow ore.

[Welcome to Sanguinius's slightly flourishing handwriting. How to address him? Watch the point sail over his head. That's a long way up! ]

Sanguinius of the Pure Blood, Primarch of the IX Legiones Astartes, the Blood Angels, sometimes called the Great Angel or the Archangel of Baal, one of Guilliman's Dauntless Few.

Or.

Just

Sanguinius.

[Hisako can do an elaborate script but here she's very plain.]

'Oriole'.

[noonlight]

Among people other than my own, I use Illumination. I don't mind if people call me Lu, but no other nicknames, please.

As for the rest, people will do what they will.

post script.

[noonlight]

I've never found gender to be necessary or even useful, but most of the other people I've known insist on it.

[shakenit]

Yoshizawa Sumire (family name first), English pronouns she/her, personal pronoun watashi.

Using my given name is fine! Some days it is in fact better.

[angel_of_baal]

[He's learning so much, and is trying to figure all this out.]

How can someone tell which days prefer the given name?

[birdchasingecho]

[in neat Japanese script, with rather a lot of kanji and a pronunciation guide in hiragana above the name:]

Torioi(鳥追) Mei(梅). I(ate あて) am a woman. [Then, in English, a little more messy:] She/her.

[codeswitchcraft]

[Siobhan's script is elegant and looping.]

Siobhan Greenwood. I'm a woman? I suppose that means she/her. And it's fine to just call me Siobhan or even 'Sio' for short. (Pronounced like 'Sha' or 'Shiv.')

[ugh_emotions]

Rin.
They/them.

[Then it's going to update its profile tags, and also wonder how the hell some of these humans and sobs can be so bad at filling out their own profile information]

[silkwaltz]

I hope it isn't rude to ask... I noticed you've listed 'they/them' as your pronouns. I must admit, I've only known this usage as a way to refer to someone whose gender is unknown. If it's not too forward, could you explain how you mean it, so I can address you correctly?

[steelfeathered]

[Hm. Hisako uses her brush to write an elegant little proclamation, and then flicks a couple droplets of ink atop because she thinks that looks less stuffy.]

This humble scribe is known as Hisako Godsup.

Let it be known that 'Godsup' is a deed-name of the first generation. As such it is incorrect when used without a personal name. If you must append an honorific, append it to both or to 'Hisako'. 'Lady Hisako' or similar is flattering, but know this: mine is the pedigree and legitimacy of a harbor gull, and I am a woman of no repute.

[She knows she could claim noble blood, who would know! but it's a vaguely repellent idea.]

If your intention is to be more removed and informal 'the Stormwing', 'the Immortal', or 'that bird' work as well.

[hellandbackpack]

Pedigree's overrated anyways! Folk that get all up about it always make my teeth itch.

[ohaiyo_isekai]

I am Mr. Hikaru Aozora, personal pronouns he/him or in Japanese “ore.” Should it ever matter, on Mundus I was formally “Ser” or “Maester,” but I’d rather not insist. I was raised in the West, used to a certian informality, and just my first name, Hikaru, is fine.

And thank you for asking.

[ K's print handwriting is neat and precise, almost font-like in its uniformity. ]

My serial number is KD6-3.7, often informally shortened to K for the sake of convenience.

As I'm an android, I'm not sure that I have a gender. [ Other than what humans have assigned: ]

My owner uses male (he/him) and nongendered (it/its) pronouns when referring to me.

Private forever

[ugh_emotions]

Genders are a human thing. You don't need one.

Your owner trying to give you one is weird.

[hellandbackpack]

Charles Rowland. Charles is fine! (If you've been calling me something else for the past few months, now's your chance to come clean!)
He/him.

No titles. I won’t answer to "sir," "boss," or anything that sounds like it came with a badge or a rulebook.

I will answer to "hey you," "oi," "menace," "that one again," or "problem," provided it's said with the appropriate amount of exasperation.

[silkwaltz]

I am Klori Demure Pax of Clan Hla'afin. It seems our naming traditions are quite different, as for male driders, the order is mother's name, the male's name, sire's name, and clan name. You all may call me Demure.

Male, he/him; I'm still learning how things are done here, so please forgive me if I misunderstand the conventions regarding gender and pronouns. In my culture, this is not a matter of choice, but I mean no disrespect should I make a mistake.

I do not hold a title, nor should one be used for me.

[not_scrap]

[Hey spider guy friend person thing. It is your self-appointed big sister.]

what if I want to give you a title?

[WHAT THEN, huh?!?]

[keytarheroine]

Miss Claire Ryland, Riot Purple when on duty in my leathers, extremely she/her, and thank you for asking.

[newmemorywhodis]

I'm Link.

He?

Except in Gerudo Town.

[so, there might be some gender things going on that Link hasn't actually thought about enough to really define...]

[bashasasdemon]

It changes depending on your location?

[Kai... doesn't think he's heard of that before.]

[curzed]

[The writing is, as per usual with him, in the runic glyphs of Nostraman that the library helpfully translates.]

My name is Night Haunter. I identify as an imminent threat. Pronouns are irrelevant. Are titles necessary?

[goodtobebad]

"Night Haunter" sounds like something a twelve-year-old would call himself in a video game. You know that, right?

[starandhope]

[ Mina's handwriting is fancy, but not overly so. It's efficient and precise. ]

Mrs. Mina Harker. I'm given to understand the honorific is not necessarily clarifying as to my gender, therefore I am a woman, and you may refer to me by "she" and "her" as pronouns.

I do not insist on the formality of "Mrs. Harker", though I do not object to it, either. "Mina" is perfectly acceptable, given the circumstances we're all in.

[goodtobebad]

Crowley. Just Crowley.

I don't have a gender and don't care what pronouns you use for me. Currently presenting masculine so he/him is probably easiest. Who knows? Might be different next week.

[bashasasdemon]

Can you change at will?

[The only way Kai knows how to change is... well, to take someone's body. Don't do that, Crowley. He'll fight you.]

[logosmaxima]

As I have met very few of you yet, it will be a pleasure to see if I am a skilled enough graphologist to match handwriting to faces!

[Hard to tell but the enthusiastic slant of his own writing implies Magnus really is excited about the challenge.]

As I am the only four-and-a-half meter cyclops in the Library, I think I will be easy to recognize.

I am Magnus the Red, Primarch of the XV Legion of the Imperium of Man, Master of Prospero, sometimes called the Crimson King. Among other titles, ekenames, and epithets, which I will not list in detail here.

I do not mind what others should choose to refer to me as. "Magnus" would be overfamiliar on Prospero or from most of my Legion, but not objectionable.

"Witch", however, is a fighting word.

[curzed]

I am told by certain sources "in the know" that he also goes by "Nerd". The louder you yell it the more likely he will respond.

[lightsgift]

[The handwriting is loose and looping, but very pretty to look at and not hard to read, for its decorstion.]

Ah. I am recently "arrived" but I am Cinthe Velare, no title. Cinthe is fine. I am a female tiefling, so I would be referred to as she/her, if that is what you're asking?

voice;

[defyingreality]

Given how this place has been handling my reality...

I'm X. The Hero X if you want some kind of title - and yes I am willing to explain how that works. I'm male, of Han Chinese descent and use the pronouns of he/him.

Also, due to many reasons I have two appearances so while I will stay mostly as myself, you may also catch my other appearance as well.

[aetherialshackles]

That is a smart way to address this.

I'm Erichthonios, Warder of Pandaemonium if that title still holds any meaning to this point. I'm male so he/him.

Even back in my original world, I was told my name was a 'mouthful' so just adressing me as Eric or Erich is just fine.

[stabgremlin]

Members of my species know me as Naiha'de'nzynne.

Humans typically prefer Aden Nahain because they can actually pronounce it.
Major Nahain is my own current preference.

As for my gender, I've always thought of it more like an everyone else problem. I'll customize my presentation according to my liking and I'm happy to play up whatever someone sees me as if they make it clear, but that's about it.

Same thing for pronouns. Pick one for me and stick to it. Or mix it up, I don't care. It/its is a special privilege though and I'll only accept it from people who aren't weird about it.

- Major Nahain

[telecosmetic]

Oh yeah, I guess this is important! Especially with so many people here.

I'm Eliza Owens (文力華), she/her or 她. I guess "Apprentice" counts as one of my titles, even if my teacher isn't here with me?
