Basically, what I want to do is be able to add "notes" to a character. For example:

I type "Who" in the mud I play and it will display something along the lines of:


[ 2 H-Elf Bar] Jezzabelle the Jester
[ 8 H-Drw Asn] Ghuron the 1st Brown
[ 1 Gnome Ran] Shizra the Tenderfoot
[ 5 Storm War] Leinadynous the Cadet

I would like to be able to add notes next to their names. I would like it to display something like:


[ 2 H-Elf Bar] Jezzabelle the Jester (Information here)
[ 8 H-Drw Asn] Ghuron the 1st Brown (I don't like this guy)
[ 1 Gnome Ran] Shizra the Tenderfoot (He's okay)
[ 5 Storm War] Leinadynous the Cadet (Blah blah)

I would like this information stored, and triggered each time I type "Who", or a variation "Whois" (You type "Whois Jezzabelle" and it will list one person at a time)

Is there any possible way to create something like this?

I searched a bit and came up with nothing near what I would like to accomplish, so if there is something already posted, I apologize.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also, could you make the note portion in a different color?
