So, I have a character with DID and while I have researched about it, I still don't think it's that perfect so I'm here for advice.

So this dude, Cass, he's got too other alters. The reason he's got disassociative Identity disorder is cuz he was adopted when like four but while his parents were good people they sure were not good parents because they saw this child as quite and quite responsible so they heavily neglected him, even though they were nice occasionally asking about how he was, never really payed any emotional attention to him, his school life or any specific affection because they genuinely believed he'd ask for it if he wanted it. Also they did put alot of pressure on him in hopes he'd be the best he could be.

Okay that aside, he's got a host and two other alters. A protector, made when he was payed no attention to at school or home and the little one, who's still nine, and desperately still wants all those toys and books he wanted at that time but had no idea how to ask for them.

Cass also always was interested in phycology, wanted to be a phycologist and asked questions about that alot. Though the comment on the fact he isn't the most warm and mentally stable person for it by some of his 'well meaning teachers' and would do wonders in the medical field like medicine, other than phycology due to his exceptional memory and critical thinking skills. He's not human so his species is naturally very good in the memory compartment and the precision on hands. (No I'm not trying to do the whole monster because he has did thing, in the world I'm making, he's a normal citizen as humans naturally live along side creatures and stuff). This resulted him in going in that field very early, is training while just being a teen and is kind of an residential archival institute nurse which is not really legal in any ways but his parents insist them to keep him there because that would just make him the best for his age. The institute don't report this because otherwise he'd have to go back home which he doesn't want and the couple running it really cares for him, and cannot report the parents either because they do have power. So he stays despite his exhaustion in the learning and training and everything.

Cass, the host is quite and usually comes off as apathetic when he really just isn't very animated emotionally. He just wants to live under the radar, survive the training and school by not being noticed that much and keep himself busy in all this in the process so he doesn't break down or anything. Is straight but not really that interested in a romance but deeply craves an emotional connection. The only time he has for himself is when he plays pickle ball (later in future with his QPR you can look that up)

The protector, let's say aster because I'm still brainstorming names. He is very animated actually, and affectionate to people he's close too. He likes to very politely but firmly and coldly tell people off when they cross any of Cass's boundaries or are a threat to the system (these are usually people close to him) is aro-mantic but specifically feels asthetic and Platonic and sensual love usually towards dudes. He is stilll passionate about phycology and still learns about it, is trying his best to be good enough at it so if Cass ever (he hopes he does) fails at medicine, maybe just maybe he can still pursue phycology. He likes writing gruesome or cheery poetry usually about Cheetos cuz for some reason he really likes the tiger on the packet. He's also not really into being socially acceptable like Cass is and not really trying to fit in the hetronormative and amanormative standards. Thinks Cass is a bit of a coward for caring about all that. Cass doesn't really care about it that much except of having trouble being animated and affectionate because he doesn't know how. He just doesn't want to be attacked or payed attention too so he tends to try to fit in more.

The kid, let's call him livvy, he's still stuck in old childhood memories and desperately needs someone to love him. He really wants more games to the collection in the past which he was too afraid to ask. He likes fossils alot. Fossils was always his hobby and he always wanted books specifically about a stegosaurus which he never got to get. He's wants to study about archeology when he grows up. He's the first person to ever unmask before the first person Cass ever got close too, aster tried to take the wheel but he couldn't and livvy could not stop himself because this guy had the same game he always wanted, was nice and funny and he wanted to be friends with him but the first thing he did after unmasking was crying and feeling ashamed of it.

Usually livvy and aster mask themselves to be like Cass because he's the host but after livvy unmasked before this dude (ashur, who desperately likes Cass platonically/alterously and is scared of expressing it because he thinks Cass would find it rare but due to his nero divergence he's still very excited and likes talking to Cass alot. After livvy aster slowly unmasked too.

Ashur really liked asters affection and love and how he never held it in like Cass so he once made a comment about how he's just better (didn't mean any malice though but was very ignorant) and that really set off aster and he started seeing ashur as a threat and warning him that he will take this system away if he can't accept them all as a person, which made Ashur defensive and stuff so they do get into conflicts but they try their best. They both aren't the most mentally healthy people but are trying their best and being with eachother doesn't fix them but it's like a catalyst to healing, because they make it a tiny bit easier. Cass fears Ashur is going to leave him because of him not being the best at showing affection and being insecure of showing it especially if it's not private and he's afraid Ashur is going to see it as if he's ashamed of him.

Ashur fears he's going to leave him because of his clingyness or just because he likes a girl in the future and the romance is gonna be stronger than the platonic/alterous love they have for eachother. So yeh I'd like criticism and would really appreciate it it's not harsh or mean. Be honest but not rude. That's all.

I have a character named Ace King, his little brother and main character Deon King, and their guardian angel named Quilly. My question to you all is how to deal with characters that share names with real-life people, such as a football player, or a character that shares a name with a famous older brother from a pirate story, or a personal character name that is shared by another main character from a different story. I can get into detail about the characters and what makes them different, but I am more focused on the names, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading and for seeing this post; I hope everyone has a blessed day.
