I have updated this, per request, to specify the renaming/re-descripting options you can perform with a player-owned merchant.
In regard to the ability to using those options, I'd like to ask for point of 'etiquette' around the ability to rename a merchant. I think everyone has the commons sense not to rename their merchants something that would be considered offensive to most people, but I'd also like to ask that you take into consideration the 'immersion' of the setting when naming your merchant as well. For example, no person is going to have the name of "Joffrey Lannister - I am Thayan's Merchant". In other words, I'd like to ask that people not specify the character name within the merchant name. Just put in a normal name for the merchant, as if you were creating a new PC. If you feel the need to specify who owns the merchant, please put that information put it in the merchant's description and/or their greeting to customers.
