[NAME]
Hi!

Example:

YOU
Hey, I’m [NAME].

Breaking it down:

YOU <---- The Script Name goes here
Hey, I’m [NAME]. <----- The Display Name is NAME

Check out: UNDERSTANDING: Script + Display Names

@JemU776

Script Name - the one that is written in the script (cannot be changed)

Display Name - the one that is shown to the reader (you can see it on top of the character’s speechbubble) and it can be changed. It can also be left blank. Leaving the display name blank is good for mysterious characters.

@JemU776

Example demonstrating the difference between script names and display names:

Script Name: JEM
Display Name: SHADOW

In the script, you can write this:

JEM
Nice to meet ya’ll, they call me Shadow.

Readers would see SHADOW on top of the bubble (name shown to reader) while you write JEM in your script (name written in the script).

Having the same display and script name:

Script Name: JEM
Display NAME: JEM

JEM
Hey, I’m Jem.

You write JEM in your script and the readers see this, too.

When you’re naming a character, do it on the app.

Just note that:

@JemU776

So,

input What is your name? | What is your name? | Done (DISPLAY NAME)

replace DISPLAY NAME in the naming input with anything you want to use (NAME, YOU, JEM, etc.)

@JemU776

Just to repeat:

SCRIPT NAME
Hey, I’m DISPLAY NAME.

SCRIPT NAME: NICHOLE
DISPLAY NAME: ROSE

NICHOLE
I’m Rose.
