And Here I Thought The Character Creation Screen Was Final

I just ran into an old friend from FFXI on facebook, and it was weird because the name I had seen in screenshots she uploaded was different. Her name was Paliki, with blonde hair and orange highlights. Today, I saw a character uploaded onto her photo albums named Kadesia, also with blonde hair and orange highlights. I know it's the same server because of people also in her screenshots (Who could forget a Mithra named Mishymeow?), so why the change of identity? It makes me wish we had nameplates like in FFXI, where we could just go get a change and people would be none the wiser, just so we could re-create a reputation. But what makes people think they have a reputation for no reason?

I had quite a reputation on Flag, and I would never change his name. He's too sacred to me, kind of like a foster child.
