Your Character's Name

[Cigaran]

Years back I had a friend help me come up with some names for a new AD&D character I was working on. She'd came up with Cigaran and Lanarik from pulling bits and pieces of ingredients off of some soda cans. I liked both so use Cigaran for the first name and Lanarik as the surname. When I got involved with MMO's, I used the name again. It's also been my go to online name for most things over the years as well.

Hi all, My character's name is "Ivory Spirit", it was hard because the game wanted two names, while I usually use one username.

the name is combination between "Isolated Spirit" & "Ivorian Tower".. the first was my email username in late 2002/2003, the second is philosophical concept that I read about and wrote about in the University magazine.

Initially I was willing to use "Ivory Tower" but it seemed bit out of place, I thought I'd be teased by others calling me tower. So I ended up by "Ivory Spirit".

and seems a quite good name for a healer, which is usually my favorite class in most RPG game.

A line from my second favourite poem about hallucinatory cacti.

Michael McClure - Peyote Poem

"At the window I look into the blue-gray
gloom of dreariness

I am warm.

Into the dragon of space
I stare into clouds seeing
their misty convolutions

The whirls of vapor
I will small clouds out of existence
They become fish devouring each other
And change like Dante’s holy spirits
becoming an osprey frozen skyhigh
to challenge me."

I too tried following the Seawolf lore. So if I did this correctly, it should translate to "Fearless Woman, Daughter of Strong Shield". Hope everything is correct.

[Rakashu]

I was born an Action, never had a choice in the matter, it was always in my blood. One day, when I was a child, my father took me aside and he said to me "Son, what do you want to do when you grow up?". I looked him square in the eye, just like he taught me, and I said "Papa, I want to dance!". He kept that stern cold look on his face and peered into my soul, looking beyond the void of the Universe, and he said to me "No son, you'll be a Copper Miner". So I headed off to the Mines, along with my father, my six brothers, and my grandfather. I worked in those Mines day in and day out from age 7 to 36.

On one of the most tragic days of my life while working in those Copper Mines we had a collapse, my brothers, my father, 12 other men, and my self were caught up in the collapse. Unfortunately my father and brothers perished in the initial collapse, and so there I was, trapped, and alone in this world. We didn't know what to do, where to go, surrounded by the darkness. I sunk into a mighty depression in that moment, uncertainty hitting me like a pickaxe to the wall. That's when I heard it, the final whispers of my father, a ghost within the caverns "Dance, you fool!".

Well, on that day me and my dancing got us out of that mess, saved all 12 men.

10 years later I found my self working on the Vice Squad on the mean streets of Concord, New Hampshire. I had finally learned what exactly it meant to be an Action; we were never meant to be burdened and shackles by the daily goings on of normal humans. No, we were meant for something more, something explosive, something deadly, something where people would go "We need a man, a man of Action", and that's who I became. It would be my inevitable downfall though, when i got in too deep. I remember the day Sarge demanded I turn in my badge and gun, called me a wild card, said I was too much of a liability. I asked him "Does this make me a liability?!" swinging my fist at his desk and punching a clear hole straight through it. Turns out, yes, having such mighty fists does in fact turn you into a liability, and as such I could no longer be on the Vice Squad team.

I traveled the world for 20 years, trying to find my self, trying to find out exactly who I am. That's when I found my self in the jungle mountains of Vietnam, lost, confused, hungry. A monk found me, took me into his temple. I lived with them for 5 years, learned to harness the Fist, the power of Action. When they knew my training had been completed they sent me on my way, giving me a new name.

They called me Rakashu, Rakashu Action. Now I'm a door to door sales man selling bottled water, but when I'm not doing that I'm fighting crime on my own terms. I lead a rag tag group of street urchins who have hearts of gold - literal hearts of gold. My sworn nemesis found it funny to turn childrens hearts into solid masses of gold, it was cruel, unusual, and insane. I took them in though, I made them believe in them selves. I also coach youth basketball at the St.Blanc Academy, an inner city school; they call me coach Cooper, I tell them that isn't my real name, but they still do it any way, I don't understand it.

Lilith : have always thought it was a cool name.

Started with a seawolf lore based name, then I changed to hellsguard. If I got the translation right it would be "sea dragon exiled daughter." Sea dragon because Levi is my favorite FF monster.

[Penguinmayhem]

I wish I had some interesting story or deeper meaning behind the name I chose, but honestly, I just rolled a random name and didn't realize "Leih" is apparently the most common miqot'e name ever.

The surname is just a tribute to Norma deSade, the legendary sword-breaking teleporting magical assassin/samurai/summoner. Because one day I too dream of hilariously overkilling someone by snapping a katana over their head.

[UlricCraft]

I was originally a Hyur, so I decided to stick relatively close with the naming conventions.
Anglo old fashioned.

Ulric 'cus it was somewhat unique, Craft because it shows my families trade. Also I enjoy DoH/Crafting systems!

[Legend_]

As Darkkinght my Name was Legend in Everquest, when I played FFXI every server I tried had that name taken already Had to settle for Legendary even had a hard time finding a server for that.

Made sure I had beta access for this one. Got my name back thus
