Subject: Gtheglorious

Do you want this complaint to be made public after it’s processed: Yes

Policies or Expectation Violated: Rule 10 Power Trip 

Detailed Summary: My character is a Diona which is a space plant person. As a Plant person I wanted a plant-like name as you could imagine any plant person would. So I picked the name “Firn” named after the Fern plant which is a very well known plant but I switched the “E” for an “I” just incase someone else named their Diona Character “Fern” and made it feel more unique. The Admin Gtheglorious is claiming that my name “Firn” with an “I” not an “E” is breaking the rules from media part of rule 10 which disallows you to copy characters from media which is an extreme stretch as I named myself after a plant. Obviously a name like Derth Verder or Walter Whit would definitely not be allowed, But I am a plant person named after a plant, and the fact that I cant even name myself after a plant because someone in media was named after it first is ridiculous, and feel unnecessarily power trippy for no reason. If you google Fern or Firn the first thing that shows up is a plant and a type of snow(Learned something new about snow so thanks for that I guess)

All I want is to be allowed to keep my name “Firn”
