Line 11:

== Name and Portrait ==

Try to pick a decent name for ~~youself~~. Your name is part of your identity, and it will influence how your corpmates think of you. In Eve Online, most corporations make use of voice communication during fleet operations, and will make their voice server available for casual chatter also. You will sometimes need to identify yourself with your name while issuing orders or making reports on voice comms. Your name will be used by fleetmates to give you intel or orders. Having a name that is simple and easily pronouncable will make things easier for everyone. Pick your name carefully, especially your first name, as that will often be used as your callsign during fleet ops. You cannot change your name after character creation.

If you pick a stupid name for yourself, you should be ready for some people not taking you seriously.

Line 17:

Many races have portraits that are hideous and others are quite pleasing to the eye. Whether you go for a scary or an alluring portrait, do spend some time crafting it. If you are displeased with it later on, you will need to spend real money if you wish to change it.

[https://wiki.goonfleet.com/index.php?title=Your_Character_Portrait Goon Wiki Portait Guide] is useful for creating good character portraits. Warning: Although goons have some very helpful new player guides on their wiki, they will not hesitate to grief you in-game. They are cruel folk that will do their best to scam, destroy ships and pod-kill, and steal from non-goons (and even other goons for the hell of it).
