A few of us listed the ward, most people just generalize Tokyo and list it as the entirety of the Metropolitan Area. Perhaps then it just implies that's their entire area of activity, or going by your comparison to a State: perhaps like how some people say they only live in Texas, United States.I'm guilty of that, I've never said where in Texas I live.

I was waiting for more people to make a CS and list where their character lived. That way I could just put my guy somewhere in the middle by using a map to check where each place was. When I finally listed Nerima as his home, that was basically me caving to what I perceived as hostility. I tend to be over sensitive in new groups. Which I also why I feel the need to defend myself from what you said, even if you didn't mean anything by it

As for being aggravated by people not recognizing your character naming and image usages...The point of homage and reference is to be subtle, if not humble about it. No matter how important some piece of fiction is to you, it's unbecoming to get angry at people for not realizing or not mentioning your referenced works.On a personal note, I'm fine with you using other characters' names from fiction, especially in an MMO. Not like we don't see at least 50 variations of Kirito's names running around Final Fantasy XIV, after all. Some may look down on this as they feel it's not creative enough, just pay them no heed and make sure your actual roleplaying is original. In the end, the name itself doesn't matter, but the roleplay.

That was less me being angry about people not noticing the reference to DNAngel (I wasn't even mad at all), and more me feeling a little disheartened that people were quick to point out my use of Kirito's name, but not the uses of pictures from (what is to me) the most nostalgic manga series of all time. What I felt was more me feeling a strange combination of self loathing and depression...I kind of have a self-esteem problem
