I think the only notes we should make are:
 * Determinate (if our actions deturmine if they character is in the chapter)
 * Speaking Only / Heard But Not Seen / Heard Only (honestly not sure how to word that one and I'm not 100% sure we need it, but basically when we hear the character, but never actually see them such as Stephen and Barb Powell who both are heard on the phone long before we ever see them)
 * Mention Only (this one also might need to be worded differently, but basically it is for when a character is in the scene, but we never actually see them . . . which recently happened with Amber Hutchinson)

Of those three, I am only 100% sure we need the first one. With the other two the only real reason I would consider having them is so people don't come and remove them because they never saw the character icon show up. Maybe the two could be combined into one "Off Screen" note. Yeah, I like that. So I propose "Determinate" and "Off Screen" be the only notes we have.

I do see where you are coming with the "As Talos thing, but that gets you into dangerous teritory. How do you handle Eva/Minuet? Her appearance doesn't change. She might wear different clothes, but in the first three chapters she's in, she's in different outfits each time. She doesn't have her powers in the first one, so obviously she's Eva there, but does she cease being Eva when she's labeled as Minuet just because they don't know her name yet. In one of those first three chapters (the third) she is never seen wearing anything but her costume (seeing as it's when she first gets it). I'm not sure she is wearing anything other than her costume in the last chapter either . . . actually not sure you see Kenji in anything but Talos mode in that last chapter either . . . although I think there are diamond choices for both that I have never taken, so maybe in those they are . . . and if they are only seen in their "normal" look in that last chapter if you pay diamonds, does that make it determinate? And then on top of that, there's Caleb. I think there is a chapter where you only see him on fire (when you and Kenji/Talos first fight him, though I could be wrong), but despite the fact that he's known as "Man On Fire", he actually never accepts that roll and always just considers himself to be Caleb and almost immediately tells you that (in the next chapter when you actually fight him).

So tl;dr I think we should just list him and not worry about dealing with in costume or out of costume for appearances.
