I've started to write my intro piece, and I've got a few questions. One, is it alright to name one of my agents Tristan? The thing is, there's an agent Tristan on the RC list, but I can't find him anywhere else.They'd both be in Floaters.

Second, and this is just a minor plot point, would singing 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift in HQ get me shot at? What about Hillary Duff? Conversly, would Nickleback be alright to sing?

I'd really apreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks!

Simply put? You can call your agents whatever you like, and sing whatever you like :)

There have been plenty of agents with similar or the same names, particularly when those names are standard normal names, like Tristan, or Bob or Amy or whatever.

Likewise, it's your agent character. If they like Hilary Duff and Nickelback, then they like Hilary Duff and Nickelback. Not everyone is going to agree, but that doesn't mean that we forbid them.

I don't think the Mika was asking if we forbade "Love Story", but if singing it would cause widespread annoyance and feelings of "kill maim burn" among us peeps.
(Yes.)

Yeah, that's what I meant. I have a little thing in my intro where the annoying-ness of the song is a minor plot pont.

If your agent sang the song in the vicinity of a trigger happy agent that barely gets enough sleep as it is because the console keeps beeping, your agent could find themselves at the business end of a gun, or other weapon.

... that doesn't mean her agents aren't allowed to sing it :P
