Names For Your character

Postby Basilen » Mon Apr 12, 2004 9:19 pm

If you cant think of a character name a good site to get some first names is http://www.babynames.com/V5/ just for those with writers block. All kinds of names from all kinds of cultures.

Gee thanks, hah, I sometimes take lil parts outta my friends names *villianous grin* :evil: I got 2 char's who take rather lesser known historical names, and ah my current favorite Mr. Malarky O.o

For the less enlightened Malarky's slang for bullshit. :wink:

I've got a char so ashamed of their name, that they use a different one in public. The rest have generic like names.

NOne of my characters names are from real life (AFAIK, anyway). They are all made up names that I like. Revanael, for instance, is a name I made up for a completely different game, but decided to use here as well. Dartel and Glynt are names of two of Revanael's followers (the other Revanael, not the CANTR one). The otheres have no source except my imagination.

So you play Dartel! I thought it was Trage for some reason. Do you play Jinyan too?

To Shane: No, im not Jinyan. Dont even know who or where that one is. So who are you, that knows Dartel? My first guess would be Tadgh, but im not sure.

You were closer with your first guess, and when I say closer I mean right.

I think I made a topic like this once, discussing odd names of charactures we incounter and the odd names we all come up with.

I have taken to nameing my charactures from historical refferences.

is that odd?


PsPi
Here I am. BITE ME. or not, in fact, never mind, dont want some wacko taking me up on the offer. Only non wacko's may apply for bite allowance.. no garentee that you will be granted said allowance, but you can try.

I thought so, Shane.

PsPi, you are a psycho pixie. Anything you do is therefore odd! (example: topic on Gremlins.) Not that I have anything wrong with odd, you understand.

I wouldnt say its too odd. Just dont call them anything too well known. (I met a Bill Clinton earlier. Grrr.)

So you play Tadgh.... :twisted: I have a bone to pick with you over what Tadgh did to Richard.

Anyways, great job at hiding the truth. You pretty much tricked everyone in Quillanoi into believing that bullshit. :wink:

Too bad I'm down another character and closer to my end days of Cantr. :x :(

Maybe. I can't seem to play new characters or they all end up dead at the end of a madman's weapon these days. So unless I am able to get a good new character then when my current stock of characters are gone then it is over for me. I will continue to help Cantr just won't be playing. Plus it takes a lot of time to start a new character and explore their personalities and since I have less time these days it is harder for me to do this. With my older characters I already know who they are so I can easily and quickly decide how they will act.
