This works for any command, not just stand.

Run this command once with the character's name(s) which will be sending the tells
/alias characterName1 /stand
/alias characterName2 /stand
/alias characterName3 /stand
etc...

Create this macro standFromTell for each avatar which will be controlled.
/ui action startChatReply;
/ui action chatCursorHome;
/ui action chatCursorRight;
/ui action chatDelete;
/ui action chatDelete;
/ui action chatDelete;
/ui action chatDelete;
/ui action chatDelete;
/ui action chatEnter;
/tell remoteAvatarName Clearing Tell target;
/pause 1;
/macro standFromTell

Run standFromTell on the characters which you would like to /tell to /stand

Now any /tell you send from a character who you made an /alias for, will trigger the /stand command on any character running the standFromTell macro.

I would recommend making a macro to /tell remoteAvatarName someMessage to hotkey now so you can hit it when you see it needs to stand, the message content is irrelevant.

Furthermore, you cannot run this on both characters at once, since the character's name who's being told to stand cannot be aliased to /stand, otherwise when he /tells himself to clear, it will still be executing the alias with his name. If you make this mistake, use /unalias charactersName in order to clear the alias assignment. But...as StepoKedur suggests you can remove the first letter of the name in order to work around the issue, this will require adding another /ui action chatDelete; line to one of the receiving macros and when making the alias leave out the first letter of the senders name.

Am I correct in assuming you could substitute the character names in the aliases for something else in the /tell and create multiple commands for different things? (ex /tell <name> stand, kneel, prone with the respective actions) Good tip regardless of whether you could expand it in that way

Aye, it will start with an auto reply of (say you sent a tell) /reply royan, then with the cursor movements home gets you to the left of the / then right gets you to the right of the /.

The five deletes then get rid of the reply_ part leaving /royan as the command said that alias's as '/stand'.

Should there be 6 deletes there? It can be a bit fuzzy!

Anyway it gets setup so whenever a set toon (ie Royan) sends a tell it sets away the alias.

Seems like an awesome idea, but that's making my head hurt trying to understand it! I never figured out how to make my ent auto invite, etc it's all way above my slow ass

Ah I see, I never quite understood what the second part of the alias setup was doing but that clears it up. That explanation should allow me to do some fun stuff.

you have the idea right, but the five deletes are deleting the word tell, not the word reply, so it is only 5 deletes needed.

This wouldn't work, the only condition you can change via tell is the name to reply /tell to, there is no way for the system to know what the character is being told, only that it has been told by playerX a message

What we are doing is triggering a command to occur when playerX sent a tell more recent than when we sent a tell to ourself, that is why we need to clear the tell target by sending a tell to ourself. The content of the messages will never be usable in this method, it's all about the name of the character who sent the last tell.

You could also have a set number of macros that fire off consecutively after a tell
Example:
/alias (name of sender) /macro Stand
(last line of Stand macro = /alias (name of sender) /macro states)
this would activate the states macro when you sent the second tell
/m states could be your blind/dizzy/stun/kd macro. The last line of this macro would = /alias (name of sender) /macro burn
/m burn would be your fire single 1 and 2, and cone 1 and 2 macro. The last line of this would = /alias (name of sender) /m Stand (if you wanted to loop back and have the next tell start over again at the stand macro, or whatever other macro you would like to put in the sequence. the last one of the sequence needs to change the alias back to the first macro in the sequence. Hopefully this makes sense

I think that would work, nice, I didn't think of that, I'll have to update OP
