Sorry I am just vehemently against constructed names unless we're getting into some like crazy letter psychology or summat and I don't know enough linguistics for that That was an accident of sorts. The kids are supposed to have more modern-sounding names, but the only other kids provided for reference are Aleks and Walt, and their names kinda got away from me, haha. I don't name someone without it meaning something to them. So no, I'm not trying too hard - I'm trying as much as I need to be. If it sounds awk, that just means I haven't found the right one yet. They should be both deliberately selected and pleasant to the ears, or else I'm not satisfied. #Name nazi
Oh god let's not make this any worse than it is he already kinda looks like Professor Oak in my head IT WAS AN ACCIDENT I DIDN'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN I think I might just stick with Pearce for now Mars is... an interesting thing. Kind of an experiment I'm conducting. I'm trying to see if I can write a person I don't believe could actually exist in reality, and still make him believable and human. I try to craft every character I write with a real, human motive, something that someone out there can relate to. I don't believe there's anyone who will act out of malice for no reason at all, who simply enjoys watching people suffer - but that's kind of how Mars gets started. He's just a shithead from birth: no trauma, no tragic past, just a sly little devil who likes to control people's lives. His only truly relatable motive is the fear of death, which is so universal I'd be writing aliens if I didn't include it. So yeah, he has a fair bit of personality... but it's more engineered than others. He's a cruel, sadistic monster, and he delights in it every step of the way. I'm curious to see how people will react to him when lined up with the rest of the cast, especially the other villains. This experiment also influenced his name, which is totally ridiculous and would never exist in reality (If you find me somebody named Mars Rosencrantz it will blow my fucking MIND) Are you making those up
>Scope out that eye. If applicable, use doublethinking to analyse it. (No idea how that's supposed to work lal) Take a picture if you can, too. >Get some grub, try to be sociable. Don't mention the eye just yet. Might be jumping the gun, plus they don't seem like they'd listen or care.>Get yo' save on.>Back to class(?)
I was gonna go with Alexander but that's too fucking Anglican These characters are not Anglican They're like sans-Christ Europe like imagine if Yggdrasil was a real place you could visit and everyone just kinda went "Nerts to this YHVH guy" (Bear in mind their full names will probably be used like once over the course of several years' worth of plot, he will go by Al or Aleks or Allie most of the time) Kind of a joke of mine, since he makes Aleks a Lightbearer Well you're wrong YOU'RE A PANSY ASS NAME :< Everyone else has semi-modern names his is supposed to sound old and campy High fantasy, kinda pre-modern but a lot of higher-level technology is replaced with some arcane equivalent. Because, y'know, it's real here, and it's way more convenient to warp between tall buildings as a puff of smoke than mess around with that automobile or whatever it's called. The setting is based on a messy gestalt of Greek, Old Norse, and miscellaneous European influences. I'll start to focus it down as I work through the details, but I always start with characters and build my world from there. It's just how I work. Too Germanic. And yeah like I said almost all the kids will go by nicknames, so. He will probably be called Walt or Wally for most of the story, if that makes it better Damn right she fine *brick'd* So no one's jazzed about Chandler Yeah I expected that, kinda flat now that I've had time to think on it Well, they're both generals. Their old home got torn apart by a war or two, and they never really matured to the point that they got a formal title. Now they've got the survivors under an indefinite martial law kinda deal. The surname should definitely sound like something you'd expect to hear prefixed with "duke," but I don't think there will be an opportunity to give them a title like that. Does Pearce or Flint sound better? Flint just makes me think of the Pokemon character so I can't accurately judge sdfjsdgsdh Oh and I forgot his dad had him with a mistress if that influences your opinion Thank you omg glad somebody shares my taste Big guys don't have to have butch names you prejudiced fuckers Yes. Oh, forgot to mention: Since his prototype form was loosely based on Marluxia, just imagine that face and that hair with that name. What a bastard. He's not a hugely important character, it probably won't come up often He's just kind of a 2nd-string villain who shows up a lot 'cause... well, immortal :L This woman is the scourge of the continent her name needs to be more than ok ;_; Kinda like that yeah
can't bear sed
If KH-V is scripted it must've been made during the writers' strike
I AM SPROTHE YOU CANNOT BEAR SED
Oh jeez, be careful what you ask for. All right, gimme a sec, I'll prop this shit up... Aleksander - Protag. Sweet kid, little possessive though. Grew up with no father, so he's a bit of a mama's boy. Needs a dignified-sounding name with a girly nickname, like Allie, preferably with Anglo-Scandinavian background. Major themes are heart, duality (esp. light & dark, love & hate), friendship, potential, anti-war. Basically looks like Allen Walker with less scars & hair spikes. (I haven't developed it any further yet, so sue me.) Walther - Protag's big brother. Trying to fill the gap their dad left behind. Little colder, little more stoic, little less emotional; but otherwise picture a bigger, more bara version of Aleks, with slightly longer hair. Either Scandinavian or Romani name. Themes are family, responsibility, protection, rivalry. Lockhart - Pretty dead set on keeping this one, since it fits both brothers in different ways. They never lose their game face in front of friends if they can help it. More literal meaning for Aleks - he can actually create physical pathways into people's hearts and explore them. I CAME UP WITH THIS BEFORE KH3D WAS RELEASED IMAGINE HOW BAD IT FUCKED WITH MY HEAD Zoe Grivas - 2nd love interest. Basically picture Korra crossed with Saxima, then add energy claws, a foul temper, and an acute fear of snakes. Probably keeping this name, I really like it. Grivas roughly means "gray horse" which fits her for reasons... and I'm just sentimental about the name Zoe. Chandler - Younger of two brothers, maybe mid-thirties. Mentor and father figure to Aleks. Kind, gentle, tactful, but pretty naïve, spends a lot of time with his head in the clouds. Need an English name, something that sounds elegant, the kind of name a young lady would like to take her to dinner. Pearce - Chandler's older brother, mid-forties. Complete hardass, brilliant strategist, spends all his time on patrols or barking orders at people. Hates his (dead) dad, loves his brother; has a funny way of showing both. Crippling illness that deteriorates his mind and also makes him look like a constipated 60-year-old. Any old English name will do, as long as it means "rock" or "stone," or something rigid like that. Used to be Flint. Bryant - Just came up with it, no real lingering attachment. Need something steadfast, a proud noble family name. Was going with variations of Leonard before now, but I decided that was too blatant. Darcy Nielsen - Delinquent from Allie and Wally's home. Big guy, rough-houser by trade. Has a wicked smile he just loves to show off. He and his posse sign up with the antag real quick. I really like Darcy, but I'm not too attached to Nielsen. Don't want anything too blunt (like Boris or Dan), but it should sound strong. English or Scandinavian would be good. Mars Rosencrantz - The most conniving, manipulative, self-serving, smug son of a bitch you've ever met in ten lives, and no other name will suit him. I mean look at it. It just screams "Don't trust this fucking snake." Damaskenos - Immortal warrior from an ancient civilization. Gonna have to fight me to find a better name than this; it's loud, it's dramatic, it's the kind of name you shout when you're about to take on a hundred men at once and win. Lady Aaliyah - Antagonist. Equal parts psychotic and charismatic. Commands the DARK FORCEZ, and converts a few of Aleks's friends to boot. Been back and forth on this one; need something antiquated and exotic, but none of 'em feel quite right so far. Aaliyah is an old prototype, thought I'd wheel it out again, see if it took. I've also considered Ambrose, or Ambrosia. (Doesn't have to be a proper name, strictly speaking, since it's an alias.) Considered a ton of different ethnicities: Greek, Scandinavian, Arabic. Themes are dark & light, longevity, godhood, serpents.
NOT ENOUGH LI-I SAY NOT ENOUGH LIKES IN THE COSMOS, SON COSMOS, THAT IS
No honestly most of them are haha I have been changing them constantly, some were redone on the spot I am no good at names, especially with the complicated fuckin' parameters I set Except Zoe and Mars those were gifts from a higher power
Wow nevermind jfc at least agree to some extent ya yahoos
i sometimes do it but only if i can't bear sed to find a matching pair but it ry my hardest damnit 's what I got on my first read I was like why tf is he talking about bears
Do it faggots I know you're not busy Spoiler Aleksander Lockhart Walther Lockhart Zoe Grivas Chandler Bryant Pearce Bryant Darcy Nielsen Mars Rosencrantz Damaskenos Lady Aaliyah
Hey hey you you I don't like y-*brick'd*

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID. purple sweater purple sweater purple sweater
i sWEAR HE WAS ONLINE WHEN I MADE IT I'M NOT CRAZY ; A;[DOUBLEPOST=1369169515][/DOUBLEPOST] TOGETHER WE ARE............ SFORZATOK
Whoa whoa whoa SoaD has always been great ok #Nova nobody was talking about System of a Down shut up
A time for eagles I fully expect and in fact plan for this every time Hence the porn tabs I pull up just for the occasion (In reality I keep my porn in a separate window so I don't accidentally close an important tab when I'm finishing up)
Look, I think the fact alone that we can have similar opinions of games with totally different reputations speaks enough to the quality of both. Which is... good? Terrible? You tell me ;3 But I maintain that Kefka is shit and Seifer is gdlk you'll never take that from me
