Question about the display name for the characters 😅

So
I had a question

In my story, I don’t wanna show my character’s name first
maybe later after some episodes.
For example at first, when I give my character’s name as “hot stranger” or "??’ , is it possible to just CHANGE the display name for that SAME character, so that I don’t have to create a duplicate one again? :sweat_smile:
creating duplicates can be tiring AF, so is there any method to just change the character’s display name if possible? :thinking:

Unfortunately not. You can use the becomes command though! Just create a random character to be either the nameless or main guy, then have that duplicate become the original. The details and outfit of that character will then change into the original’s. The display names will remain as you set them. Anither way is creating a new character, name it whatever you want, then have them talk ofscreen and have it look as though your character is saying it through speechbubble placement and the & sign to go with your character’s animation :slight_smile:

So for example, the circled part here represents the placement of a random character by the name of both. In my case, I used to represent that both my character’s were talking at the same time.

Now this shows me using the character to talk as they normally would, but showing that the two characters I want are instead.
