After using Japanese names on my FFXI characters for 6 years, i wanted to use something in English. SInce i already knew that i wanted to set Gridania as my "place of birth", i've decided to look for a Celtic/Irish name. I wrote down a few like Arynn and Caitlyn. I had to look through surname for a while before i found names like "Adare" and "Ardeen", which made me think of "Aldora". It had a nice ring to it, so i eventually settled for "Caitlyn Aldora".

It was thanks to your post Forgo that i actually looked up the meaning behind those names. (^_^ ) The were:

Caitlyn
Origin: Gaelic
Meaning: Pure

Aldora
Origin: Greek
Meaning: A winged gift

Thread question:

If a sitcom were to be made of all of the characters that have been sketched thus far, who would be in it and what would their roles be?

Crim Soukyuu, Crimson Azure.
The idea was to take two opposites and since I like azure, the opposite would be crimson, which I happen to like as well. Azure stands for my usual calmness while crimson... you get the idea. Oh and it was also partially influenced by the saying "crimson and azure become as sun" from that certain game I played to death :P

Yeah, but to me they sound kinda different, missing that "discovery" feeling if you know what I mean...

Once upon a time, when the internet was still young (and I mean so young that MMORPGs still didn't exist, and we had a textual equivalent named MUDs, for the young among us), I found myself with the need to find a fantasy name to use online, so I borrowed Abriel from my favorite fantasy trilogy (The Elenium by David Eddings. I definitely advise reading it and its sequel The Tamuli if you still didn't).

A few years later when I moved from the Italian servers of Dark Age of Camelot to the american RP server Guinevere (because the admins of the Italian ones were scumbags), Abriel was taken, so I added the "e", and it became Abriael.

I never changed since.

"Rosen" is simply comes from my fascination for roses, and some times gets other variations like "von Rosen" and similar depending on the setting I'm playing in.

Just to name a few of my favorite songs:

Now... Where did i put my lute? *goes off in search for instruments*

Daughtry has some good stuff.

Countering 2 with more awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qMIbUg8ugs

Well, I honestly haven't listened to Evanescence in a long time. I was a fan of the stuff back when David Hodges was still in the band. ( first album.) My Immortal was always my favorite song.

As for 4...ooooo that voice.

Mjollnir: Legendary Hammer On
Axegrinder: Legendary Hammer Off

Ralos is actually quite simple. It's the word solar backwards >_>;
A long while back (12 years or so) I was a little kid who was really big into text role playing in the chat rooms of AoL 4.0 lol
The character I created and used was a being of the sun or something like that and so I called him solar. I subsequently began to use the name for anything whenever I played a video game and could name myself or for profiles and such. When I played my first ever MMO, the name Solar was already taken, so I thought for awhile and came up with Ralos. From there it just kind of stuck because I liked the sound of it and it sounded a tad bit original (especially compared to Solar).

My last name has changed a few times already. I played through 1.0 with the last name Mikorious because I made the character with my GF who was trying to get interested in to video games with me (an endeavor which didn't work out ; ;) but while naming the character, I gave her free reign over the last name. She took her cats name, Miko, and changed it to Mikorius because she thought it sounded fantasy like lol.

I'llo probably be changing it again to something more thoughtful. We'll see.....

Celethien (Celeste) = Heavenly
No meaning for last name...

Kallera= comes from a mistranslation of Kaillera

Kaillera= a gaming app that allow people to play online functionality to games that normally wouldn't have it on PC.

Etoile= French for "star". Taken from the dancer AF2 gear.

Well the visit proved to be an eye opener, Sorta made me see the reality of computer graphics studios like those and what it would take to get there...

So I have two choices, spend my waking hours drawing constantly, shell out thousands for student versions of Maya, After Effects , and Adobe Creative Suite, Night Classes at Art Colleges an hour away, for the next few years, for the chance of being employable at one of these companies....

or not.

At heart, I know its not the only thing I could do, nor that it means I should stop trying to get better. I guess I just didn't want to face what it would take. I do know what I CAN improve, I should. Nothing's keeping me from that but procrastination. Even if it means not drawing my own style a little more, it'll help, but I should be realistic about this.

Trying to think of something productive to say but am falling short.

All I can do is wish you good luck. Thanks for sharing this with us.

will be going with Helcon Mean nothing with the last name of ignis 'Stella Firestar

*Slams on her desk with a Judge's Gavel* Overruled! Chocobos are sacred beings, not to be devoured, consumed or even touches with similar intention.

This particular act of cruelty is punishable by death by hanging (upside down, suspended over the sea on a hot summers day).

:O!
I recently had the chance to read both of them in English (as well as the Belgariad and the Malloreon), and it was even more epic than my first few reads in Russian. What language did you read them in?

Haven't heard much beyond the discovery album from them so I wouldn't know haha. Well if it still has the daft punk feeling to the fans, then it's all good I guess :P

Italian first and English afterwards. And yeah, the English original was SO much better. Eddings' peculiar humor and with is hard to translate in other languages.

I think the peculiar part comes largely from the fact he was writing them all together with his wife actually. I think they revealed it in one of their later books. Which is also why the female characters seem so realistic to me.

Awesome as always but you forgot a couple of names there :( It's pretty obvious who it is but still...

And yes, I would eat the bird too. It'd be tender, though not enough meat on it yet so might have to get a couple for a full meal ... And now I'm hungry and it's the middle of the night with no tasty morsels around >_<

White Mages are slowly turning into a sisterhood with you guys.
