not only is the name from the mummy verbatum ... it is the same actress as well. If we can't have blade being mulder and scully this can't fly as well ... all agree with me? If so, let me know so I can let this person know to change their name

Has this person made any RPs? If they're also not deviating from the Mummy, I'd say yes. Until then, I dunno.

I agree, they should atleast change the name. Consistancy is key. What's good for Blade is good for everyone else

I say sitting on hands is needed here. She might be written as something totally different.

I disagree. I changed 'Lacroix' to 'Laroque' for safety, even though the characters were different.

There are plenty of Egyptian names out there.

Is that enough of a change though? Lucas would still be allowed to sue for "Stir Warts"

Keep eyes open for distinctly "mummy" RPs...

I would rather the name was changed though. :\ Tough call?

We are covered for Star Wars names, ideas,places etc ... I think that it shows a real lack of creativity to not even change the name. As already said, there are a crap load of Egyptian names to pull from.

Ok...ask them to change the name then. I've made up my mind and that's what I would do to them. Also, who is it who is RPing them? I can't get the IP thingy to work at..work. ^_^;

I think politely asking the person to change their name via a PM from a staff member is the correct course of action.
