Hi...
My main character is an agnostic gnome
enchantress, her first name is Zytreen ,pronounced z- I- treen, which I just
made up myself to be unique and her last name is Matrixmistress which I'm sure
you can figure out on your own.
Other names of my characters:
Barbarian Warrior- Daschun, made it
up.
Human Cleric- Natrel, a play on
natural
Erudite Wizardess- Nexie, a play on
nexus
Human Mage- Elfrie, a play on elemental
friend
Troll Shadow knight- Mogra, just made it
up
Human Monk- Jeremiah, straight out of the
Bible
=p

Subject: [eqenchanters] What's in a
name?
I asked myself a question last night that I
hope all of you will reply to
when I ask it of you.
Why did you
choose the name of your character? What does it mean to you?
Ok, so
that is 2 questions, shoot me. =)
This thought entered my mind as I sat
last night trying to come up with a
name for my gnome enchanter. I do not
like the name generator that Verant so
kindly provides. Answering this
question(s) became the real challenge and
gave my pixels a minor RP
perspective that is truly lacking in this game. I
love the game, but the
war for XP dominates the minds of 98.9% (<~ note the
pun?) of those that
subscribe.
Anyway, what follows is a breakdown of why I chose the names
I did. I am
intrigued to see the results if all of you did the
same.
Personal history: I have been playing RPs since 73, and picked up
WhiteWolf
as the dominant favorite since 92.
Arakine Uktena, Woodelf
Druid:
Arakine-
From the movie Dune. Arakis, desert planet. Paul says at
one point "We shall
squeeze and squeeze until no Harkonin breathes Arakine
air.". The planet
itself is a desert filled with danger, yet has the
potential to become a
lush garden paradise.
Uktena-
American Indian
tribe, and a tribe of Werewolves from WhiteWolf's "Werewolf:
the
Apocalypse!". Violent, bloody bastards that guard the spiritual foci
and
are the closest to the
Spirits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uthanatos, Gnome
Enchanter:
No last name yet, but I will have a while before I need to worry
about it.
;-)
From WhiteWolf's "Mage: the Ascension", Euthantos. A
Tradition of mages
that believe death should come to all. They are to help
others to meet Death
when they try to avoid it and have nothing left to
give, or to preserve Life
when their existence still has something to
contribute to those around them.
Also called Death Mages.
This may
apply to Necromancers, but to me the Enchanter class is the true
embodiment
of the Euthanatos. They can ultimately control the outcome of
almost any
battle so that the "Life" of the party is preserved (by being
competent) or
they can hasten the grip of Death upon his fellows (by
being
inept).
Well, there you have it. One step closer into the
mind of Me. Reply if you
wish, I for one would enjoy reading
it.
