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

[Argent_Wings]

It was an old AOL screen name. Never contemplated turning it into an OC but apparently even a google search only turns up stuff related to my using it a decade ago so I guess it's semi-original.

[Alavastre]

Love Final Fantasy VI. By far by favorite RPG of all time. So I wanted something from that, but a lot of them are over done. One of my favorite characters was Edgar. By far one of the best moments in my RPG history, finding out what Edgar did so his brother Sabin could live a free life.

In the World of Ruin, you find Edgar, but he acts as if he doesn't know you. His code name was Gerad. Then Rabanastre was a place in FFXII or so I'm told. Never finished that game. But it was a lot like my forum name, Alavastre, and I liked how it fit together.

[Trayes]

My name is a weird version of a name from Gundam Wing, Treize Khushrenada. The name became Trayis. That changed to Trayus. That changed to Trayes.

My in game name is Trayes Atlas. Atlas is my cats name. My wife also uses the last name Atlas. Our FC name is Wight of the World (HEAVY). It is an FC for just her and me.

That is my story

[Gatzby_or_Holden]

All of my characters are based off of book references.

My go to is James/Jane Gatzby or Holden Caufield.

Others are Pietro Brwna (Beat the Reaper), Picine Matell (Life of Pi), Santiago Shepard (The Alchemist), Saleem Sinai (Midnight's Children).

Or famous authors. I was pumped when I got Isaac Asimov back in the day.

[Tzain]

In world of Warcraft, I made a female orc warrior named Zai. In Dungeons and Dragons Online, the name became Tzai. In Aion, the name became Tzain and the character was synonymous with being feral. So when looking at a Male Mi'qote I went with the most feral look I could find and named him Tzain. Nival is just something I made up on the spot.

[DMCain]

I straight up STOLE my name from a book by Laurel K. Hamilton.

[Ed_N_Ants]

Saika (in japanese means beautiful flower...) And Rose is actual my mothers name and her favorite kind of flower... Giving me the name Saika Rose

[Ethasar]

There's a guy in my FC called Stringbeanz Mcbeanz, I asked how he came up with it and he said it was the first thing that popped into his head..

[LlenCoram]

Made it up. My character in Eve is Taak Coram, and I played it long enough that "Coram" feels like my real name. Figured I'd just continue that throughout my gaming career.

Was originally Len Coram, but I thought Llen looked prettier when written. That's about it.

[Battlewrench]

Sayoko means evening child or something like that, just kinda a random name kinda want to change it. Senjougahara on the other hand, awesome. Good show. kinda NSFW?
