I think that the description "a man in his twenties" should be replaced by many more like "a Naked man in his twenties", "a barely (or well, very well lightly or whatever) dressed man in his twenties.
Programming-wise i think it could be done by assigning point at every peice of clothing and make a kinda ranking.
Like:
0=naked
1-5=barely dressed
5-15 lightly dressed
and so on.
What do you think?
<cantr description> for clothes?

Oh wait! What if you could click on someones name and then see what clothes theyre wearing.
That would be cool...

Somehow you strayed and lost your way,
and now there'll be no time to play,
no time for joy,
no time for friends
- not even time to make amends.
You are too naïve if you do believe life is innocent laughter and fun.

I think people without clothing in Cantr are actually wearing rags or something. As Cantr says, they're just wearing nothing worth mentioning. When people RP that they're naked it just disrupts the situation.
Back on topic: I don't think we need any more stuff in the default names. Note that we don't have the health level there, which would probably be more useful and important.

Obeying the 'don't create new redundant topics' rule, I'll add on here.
The descriptions of the clothing items are run together to the point of near unreadability because....run-on sentence descriptions are not concluded with periods. Periods wouldn't be grammatically correct I suspect, but would be a lot better than the current mash.
Semicolons, maybe?

Make it a list with a new line for each article. In fact, the whole character description I think would make more sense as a list of the various pieces of information (gender, age, strength, project and clothing) instead of tring to make a grammatically correct paragraph. It would be much more readable.
DOOM!

I'll see what I can do.....
Clothing and jewelry which are made of bones, fur, cotton, or flowers now have a semicolon and space at the end of their descriptions.
I realize that there is an unnecessary space and comma either at the end of the fur loincloth description or at the beginning of the bone earring description. Funny thing is, that mysterious space and comma aren't actually there, according to what I see in the database for those items.
Anyway, you don't need to report it
I'll work on the other clothing/jewelry items soon.

I have suggested earlier that characters with close should have a little "clothing symbol" next to their names in the "people's list".
It would be easy to fix and would make you check out their clothes more, something I never do now since most characters are undressed.
