Need some ideas

Right, I have a character concept (see two entries ago) which I want to play and I have time to book the gathering while it's still at its least expensive price. Now I just need two things: 1)a name, 2)a costume design.

Costume wise, I want it to be clear that he's a) forgetful, b) colour blind so he can't distinguish between reds and greens (I'll probably have him assume that most red things are green). So my costume is going to have some odd mix of red and green, and show signs that he forgot what he was doing part way through. I just need some ideas. So take this one off opportunity to dress me up stupidly and please make some suggestions.

I haven't read the character concept, but Biscuit's cloak would be a reat costume for a colour-blind character. Or certainly something along those lines...

I hear people who are colour blind wear clashing shades of the same colour, so perhaps that?

A scarf that he's always forgetting to tie? Odd socks/shoes? Inappropriate clothing such as coat in the sun (what fun) etc.

Name? Are you sure you can remember it? I kid, how about something that reminds him of who he is, an adopted name such as Eric (or whatever) Greentree, because there's a big green tree infront of his house?

Why not recycle one of your old names, no one (except us) would know you've done it. It gives you the big advantage of not having to worry about remembering a new name. Blain or Lucien would be fine I'm sure. If not that, then perhaps a DnD name, even less people will know you've doubled up then...

It was from Barret saying that you often seemed keen for Bodyguarding duties.
