The TITLE command is good enough. Trying to embed player-created lineage and history into help files / creation questions / etc. could become quite a pain to maintain. There's also the question of who decides what surnames become a lineage? How accurately and in how much detail is the history recorded? Via a creation menu, you'd also run the risk of a descendent not knowing anything about their geneology... "Oh, my surname? I don't know much about it. I just chose it from a menu ..err, in the orphanage."

Then that person should read the help file related to that before choosing.

Kudos on the new idea (few ideas are bad just for BEING an idea)...but I agree with the nay-sayers here. It is ultimately FAIL.

Yeah, coding in a linneage seems like a waste to me, though having a source for seeing possible linneages that you might want to play isn't bad.
Maybe the author could post a note in the Afterlife thread, and everybody who felt that their character would have kids or at least be part of a line that others might want to jump on even without having kids could add to it when their character kicked the bucket. And then you choose a name and title accordingly without have to make a whole other selection process during char creation.

I don't roleplay lineage often, but when I do, I am a descendant of Navelic - Western Cavalier.
