Character Name [How Did You Come Up With It?]

[Trancery]

Duh

and I like what it refers to. Breaking Bad: "The term to "break bad" is American Southeast slang meaning to turn against one's previously lawful lifestyle for one of criminal acts, usually at the cost of someone else's life or well-being."

[LilaAquillina]

Zlatan = Gold in Serbian

Tarrant = Last name of the main character in the Coldfire Series (Gerald Tarrant)

I will be changing my name when were allowed to Lord Zlatan (sounds better for a tank, and Gerald Tarrant was a Sorcerer)

YES! I love that series! Were you the Gerald Tarrant I saw in Beta/early launch?

On topic: Azdaja is a type of dragon. Aquillina comes from my XI's character, Aquilla.

I thought it fit for a lalla white mage.

[BrockLi]

Brock Li -

[Anapingofness]

Mila means gentle.
Cecilina means "Daughter of Cecili".
Cecili was my FFXI character. ^^

[Randalthor]

My name is based on the main character from the Wheel of Time book series.

There is someone else on my server named Rand al'thorr, which is the wrong spelling. I don't get why people don't pick a different name instead of picking a name and purposely spelling it wrong.

[ruinedmirage]

I grabbed two runes from my futhark rune set (I practice rune casting irl). The first two were my name:
Jera - Rune of Harvest, yearly rune
Teiwaz - Rune of the Warrior, spiritual warrior (from the warrior, Tyr)

[ThricebornTony]

My character has lived three times.

Once in FFXI.

Once in FFXIV 1.0

Once again in FFXIV 2.0


Made it three times so, thriceborn.

edit: incidentally, he was Twiceborn in 1.0 :P

[Enkidoh]

My character's first name, 'Enkidoh', is how SE translated the name 'Enkidu' for FFV's port for the Playstation (Enkidu being Gilgamesh's rival and companion in the ancient Mesopotamian story Epic of Gilgamesh) - I chose the name at random from an old issue of EGM magazine that had a FFV guide in it when I needed a handle for eBay years ago. It stuck with me ever since.

As for her surname, 'Roux' is a French word for a sauce made from wheat, flour and butter, that my partner first chose for his character (no I have no idea where he got it from either ) - I didn't even need to think to give my character the same last name when I created Enki in 1.0.

[Baneus]

I've been Baneus online for almost 20 years. I always choose the Prime designation when given no option just in case I need to add more Baneus later on (Baneus Secundi, Baneus Trēs etc).

[BoltNixter]

Bolt because in nearly every FF heroes have names that can be linked to an "element" (Cloud, Squall, Tidus, Terra)
Narshe because i absolutely love the city in VI.
