You're welcome Katakotia. :)

Also, please, call me David. Mr. Bowers is what I ask my Chinese primary school students to call me. I make a rhyme out of it, teaching them various English words:

Flowers, Hours, Showers, Towers... Super Powers -- Mister Bowers!

Back on topic, though, there's a name issue I forgot to mention in the article: It seems particularly appropriate somehow that an alchemist character should refer to himself or herself as Dr. So-and-so. So if I have an alchemist rogue named Deathshaker, I could say, "Greetings! My name is Doctor Deathshaker!" It could make one of those cheesy fantasy names that normally fails pretty bad into a funny spoof of mastermind villain names.
