Just poking my head in to add support to this thread (which I see is Under Review, which makes me very happy). I'm an author, first and foremost, and I've never really been invested in the roleplay/character side of the fur fandom at all. I don't even have a proper fursona, so coming into this site as a newcomer and being immediately asked to identify myself as a "Character" is both confusing and very offputting. Multiple profiles are great - I think the best way to do that would be the GMail setup, where you're only able to act as one person at a time, but you can easily switch your interfaces between associated profiles/accounts by clicking through a dropdown menu or the like. All the same, I do definitely think it should be renamed to "Profile", both to match average user expectations and to avoid alienating more "casual" members of the fandom.
