I'm looking to upload old works by Roy D. Pounds II, but before I do I want to figure out a standard for tagging.

Artist tag

Pounds uses several different aliases on several different sites; here on e621 we have both roy_d._pounds_ii and steamfox (his FurAffinity account. His 'official' (but horribly outdated) site uses the name 'California Kit Fox', which also appears on Transfur as 'CaliforniaKitFox'.

My thought is, alias his nicknames (and variant spellings) to his real name, since that's how he signs all his work. This may cause trouble, though, when we consider

Character tags

Pounds has a handful of recurring characters, including the artist-avatar Artist, his Muse, and the long-suffering fursona "Mr. Foxy". Problem is, 'abc_(roy_d._pounds_ii)' could get unwieldy, but if we substitute one of his nicknames the artist tag and character tags will read incongruously.

Thoughts?

Just suffix his characters as _(pounds).
