+### Changing character prefix
+- Each character is created a modified identifier (char#:identifier)
+- Due to an oversight, ESX Legacy only supports a prefix with a length of 4
+- If you change the length, refer to https://github.com/esx-framework/esx-legacy/blob/main/%5Besx%5D/es_extended/server/classes/player.lua#L17
