Super General Discussion 2.0 - Always offering a happy, fun time~!

[Wolfwood_Belmir]

Wow this topic moves fast when you miss a day or 3 O_o

Haven't gone far enough to decide on my favourite area or music just yet... Although the whole snow area might be my favourite right now since I'll occasionaly dye all my stuff a mix of red and black so I can slowly walk the fields singing 'Red Like Roses' :P
On that note, a Scythe using class please? ^_^ lol

On the name talk topic: Do most people have a backstory to why they choose their name? or was it a whim or something you've just used everywhere for so long it stuck?
Also, do you, like me, try to avoid numbers in your name at all costs ^^;

[Aldora]

Ah, I was trying to read that but lost the link when the board change. Thanks for reposting ^^ I'll try to read it tomorrow or in the next couple of days at work.

You're welcome. (^_^ ) I would love it, if everyone who read it would leave a comment. I like to hear what everyone thinks of the story. I'm rather busy (with FFXIV) to write more, but then i'll know in which direction i can take it. (^_^ )

Well, i didn't have a backstory for my original "Character" Caitlyn Aldora. I just picked a name based on a list of Celtic first and surnames. But, when SE told us that we would be able to change our name when 2.0 would be released, i started to think of a name which would fit within the Eorzean Lore. After that, i didn't just want to say, "Hey, i've changed my name into C'rysta Zeith". That's why i wrote a story about it.

It was fun to write it. (^_^ ) I hope you all enjoy it.

Let me guess, you are a fan of RWBY, right? XD

Usually I use the same 3-4 name for my characters, without looking for backstory, or follow the lore, but this time I spent some time thinking about the question "why my elezen character have this name? Why she don't have a name more fitted for her race?"
The answer was: " she had a Elezen name: Merune Verger, but it was discarded when she was adopted by an Hyur. Aradan is the surname of her new father, Meru because a new life need a new name"

Err... No >_>... And I am totally 'NOT' wearing one of my two RWBY shirts right now ^_^

And this name discussion got long O_o taking me ages to read through all these. Cool to see that alot of thought goes into them ^^

Forgot to tell my story :P
My online handle Wolfwood Belmir is a combo of the name Wolfwood that I took from Trigun when I was back in highschool (a lifetime ago now O_o) and it sorta stuck as my online name since I used it everywhere and I responded to it more then my actual name >_>...
Now it doesn't even remind me of the character its from and I just see it as my other name :P
Belmir is a combo of two things and a name I made up after Wolfwood on its own was taken everywhere.
Bel comes from a series of books by David Eddings (not devil survivor :P) but I won't go into detail on the slight chance someone is cool enough to get its meaning on their own :P
Mir is from my all time favourite game character from Ar Tonelico 1 + 2 (although she goes by a different name for most of the second one).

Anima Mundi is from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_mundi
I really love the concept and it seems like such a cool name for fantasy or even some sci-fi games. (used it in Persona 3 portable with the female character)
Other names I use for female characters include Celty and Alita (just going by my favourite characters, and from what sounds cool ^^) with Belmir as a surname.
Or I look up more Latin phrases :P

Keith Dragoon is a long time alias of mine. I drew a character in elementary who was part dragon part man (wings, tail and eyes) and rode a dragon while using a rifle. I named him Keith and since he was a mounted Calvaryman I added dragoon to the end

As for Eorzean lore my char was abandoned in the forest as a kitten so he never had a proper name so he picked up parts here and there and called himself Keith Dragoon.
