Suits! Their uses.

I've always found Internet identities interesting, and there seems to be a more developed awareness of them here ("Fiction Suits" and their Invisibles (and probably other-sourced) mythology as opposed to "hey, DethRayzor666 is a cool name").

There's obviously a variety of uses for 'em, but I'm curious about what utility you all find in having a "suit" as opposed to just a name.

The current "Haus" thread is also an interesting read, and kind of tangentially related to the question: would "John Cannelle"* be as much of a 'presence' as "Haus," or would a suitless Haus have less "presence" than Haus-the-entity (as opposed to id entity, which is a different suit used by a different person, or is it?)?

So, suits. How do you use them?

*Emphatically not** Haus' real name, because that's kind of the point of this thread.

**Well, it could be, but that would be a hell of a coincidence, as those are the names of two of my cats.

i use mine like big malky.

if i get attacked by some demon or whatever i'll strip it away, layer by layer, until all that's left is the sexually impressive and singularly cool interior, the mad magician i really am underneath.

you'll know it's happening because you'll see that pen my mum gave me before my highers flying past.
