Toggleable RP Tag/Status!

We recently learned there won't be a designated RP server, which the RP community at large is entirely used to and fine with!
However, because we'll be lacking an RP server, things such as walk-up RP (roleplaying with strangers/friends without prompting/planning) are harder to come by. A major way to combat this would be to allow us to add an "RP" tag next to our name in-game.
For instance, if someone looks at my character they might see:
-Maevynn
If I were to somehow toggle an "RP" tag/status, then instead they would see
-Maevynn [RP]
-RP Maevynn
-Maevynn [RPer]
Or something of the sort!
This would allow RPers interested in RPing to immediately recognize eachother out in the world—even if they hadn't known about eachother before that chance meeting. I think this would allow an amazing opportunity for the RP scene, where people would be able to easily recognize those seeking RP in that moment. Perhaps crawling through the forests, or at a far-flung mountaintop in a mostly uninhabited part of the world, or even walking through city streets and taking in the sights. Being able to immediately identify another RPer helps us weave stories with those looking to take part in writing with one another—Which is crucial for a healthy RP community that doesn't feel isolated or fragmented.
RPers are, of course, usually not only focused on RP. Many of us enjoy elements of PvE/PvP as well, and because of that we won't want to be RPing all the time necessarily either. So I think this is also a great method for one to be able to say "Not looking to RP right now." even if they're well-known for RPing.
It's a simple but powerful tool that helps the Roleplay community thrive and connect with one another.
