Separate names and profile pictures for business and personal discord servers

Discord has grown to be more than a place for gaming. It is being used more and more by families, businesses, and schools every day. Though sometimes, you want to keep your home life and business life separate. 

I think it would be useful for a feature that would allow you to set up a professional face to your discord account which would use a different profile picture and username. For example, when I'm relaxing or chatting with friends, I use my online gamertag along with a less professional anime profile picture. This is not the kind of impression I want to give in a school or business discord. This feature would include the ability to use the same discord account, but join servers for business or schools using a different (or hidden) picture, and a different name such as your real life name or other. This would allow you to access both your personal and business discords on the same account without needing to switch between two accounts.

    basically a separate account but you can unsafely switch to it with ease (which excludes inputting a password, email (also under the same email apparently) and authentication codes).

    little frog, that's not safe.

    Yes!! I have been wanting something like this for a while now, I'm so glad to see someone else has been thinking the same thing.
    I would love to be able to switch back and forth from my personal profile to a work profile, allowing me to keep access to my emotes and everything else I use on my primary account.

    Something like this would allow for me to keep my business contacts separate from my personal contacts...I recently had someone join my personal discord server to ask me a question related to an event I worked on.  The ability to have multiple profiles would have prevented that from happening.

    I also think this should translate over to DMs as well, both profiles should have their own inbox.
