I want to make a character, but someone got the name first. For example, I want to make a character named Lily, but someone got it first, so instead of Lily, I changed it to LiIy, which is the second letter L is changed into capital letter I.
Will I be not banned by doing this?
A guy long ago liked his name so much he made BLOODY ACID & BIOODY ACID. Without caps but you get the idea. Its legal, on the other hand using cursing or impersonating GM's is banned with an apology needed I think.
Its not illegal as long as you are not impersonating the original person. However keep in mind other players may think you are the same person as the original nameholder.

Keep in mind Both Bloody Acid and BIoody Acid were the same dude. He had one dude for brewing and the other for blowing things up without resetting. I think he had a duplicate SinX for his Deadly poisons too, but not sure on that.
I think the rule goes a little bit further. As it's easy to get the name similar to someone elses. So long as you don't try to make people think you are the other person, I honestly don't see an issue(unless you're obviously trying to ripoff someone's name you found in game)??Also, a lot of people have played hero and gone inactive (or banned), there's a large number of names that can't be used simply because their characters still exist on the server.

Well in his/her/fox's case, the name Lily belongs to another person.
I'd suggest taking a peek at this
naming rules on the wiki.
You might ask @main if there's currently a famous Lily around.
(I can't remember one, but heh~)
If he/she isn't active anymore, using LiIy seems okay. So long as you don't go out of your way pretending to be Lily the 1st (But of course you won't do such a thing, right, right?)

@punisouffle, Oh yes. I wont do such thing. I just wanted the name since it is perfect for the job, the pallete, and I think the hairstyle
Thanks for the replies everyone!
