Your username must be 6 characters in length and no more than 10.
You're better off creating a username that starts with the name you will use the most ie "Bear" and then follow it with other characters like "- _ 1" etc, rather than the other way round (--bear).
This is because in game you can shorten your name to only display the first however characters you wish by spamming up the name with colour changes after the amount of characters you want ie:
ui_name "^7Bear^1^2^3^4^5^6^7". If your username is "Bear____" then this should successfully take out the "____" from your name in game, otherwise if you don't use this method you will not be able to change your name (so dont make your username your clan tag followed by your alias!).
Hope this helped
