    How did you create your character name?

    I typed it by pressing left Ctrl + D, R, A, Z, O, M, Y, S and T on my keyboard, in that order.

    All the names on my characters mean something.

    Samaela[cleric] - Added an "a" to make the male name Samael more female. Name means something like venom of God, and Samael is a fallen angel in various bible histories. He is also said to be the angel of death. Such a suitable name for a cleric don't you think?

    Mentali[psychic] - The French name for Espeon. Y'know, the psychic pokemon than evolves from Eevee?

    QQangel[archer] - This is actually an inside joke between me and my boyfriend. I was talking to him about the weeping angels from Dr. Who and he gave them the name QQangels. So when I made my archer a couple of days later I ended up using that. She looks like an angel to me anyway.

    I'm too lazy to explain the rest of the names I go by, I hardly use my other alts anyway.

    i used my venos name in previous games which i first thought of "vickster" well, my bf did actually lol (because my RL name is vicky). but when i messed up on my character (in the first mmo i played, not PW) i then thought to type it differently as vixter, which in my opinion looks better too.

    as for TreeHugs, idk, it was the first thing that popped in my head cuz earthguards are all like tree huggers and stuff lol.

    For example:
    Name (this is not my real name): Liz
    Word: Fox
    New name: Folix

    Google my name and you see I took my name from the Playstation 3 Idea Factory/Red Entertainment and Compile Hearts game, Agarest Generation of War/ Record of Agarest War

    Well my name of the character Sherufanir is a typo cause I thought it ended with a u at the end, didn't double check. >_>

    But she called Sherufanir and she looks just like a Veno(She half breed though) at that time I was making and playing one but she a thief type/speed type character so that where the similarity ends.

    Most of the characters I make I take their names from my RPG games if they fit the character I'm making but it hard since I guess everyone played alot of console RPGs and take them fast and quick as possible b:surrender

    That or I use Norse mythology for my character names but again I guess there quite a few people that do like Norse Myths since the names are always taken.

    Most of mine I just made up, with a few obvious exceptions (you can see the list in my sig aside from Sataea and Druissa, seeker and mystic - couldn't fit them in). RubixCube my barb... was stuck on an idea, looking around the living room, saw the toy sitting on the coffee table. Florafang my wiz, well, obvious (I tried for Jewelscalen first but it was taken). Torchwood is named after the TV show of the same name. And Pickerel is named after a fish because... Tideborn. Need I say more?

    I loved the Great Gatsby. b:surrender

    I made a looot of characters. I never seem to like ANY of their names.
    The latest char's I made and named are..

    NiightmareXz, my archer. I stole her name from my friend. Sh.
    kablee, my seeker, from Gerard Butler's character in "Gamer". He was so badass.
    (needless to say I started getting mistaken for a guy, so i started using girl names...)
    EmeryFlower, my mystic, I wanted emery but it was taken and I hate using _ or x or anything really... But anyway, I'm not sure if it's a real flower. o.o But it's a flower in Rune Factory xD . I love Harvest Moon.
    letmeblossom, my sin. I was gonna name my mystic that since it's more fitting, but when i made her, I couldn't remember what I wanted her name to be, so I named her EmeryFlower blahblah. Now I hate my sin's name and I wish I just named her Emy or something. b:surrender

    i tend to name mine after characters in books i read. when i made most of the ones i play at the moment, i was on a minor binge on Canadian author Peter Watts' sci-fi dystopias. (by the way, he lets people freely download many of his novels from his website, check out rifters.com for some great reading. then buy some of 'em on dead trees to support the guy, he deserves it.) i kindof deliberately kept that going when i made my earthguards, because i liked the theme.

    (people say it's hard for an author to write characters any smarter than the author him- or herself is, while fairly easy to write characters that are not as smart; i believe it. with the work of mr. Watts, it's fantastically refreshing to be reading things written by someone very obviously much, much smarter than i myself could ever be.)

    i usually name my alts either after characters in books i've read, or make up names based off movies, or variations. i have an archer named SteelMagolia, and a mystic named BlueMagnolia. FoxRunning is the title of a book, ShastaFrost (my barb) is a name i made up, based on a mountain i loved to see when i lived in California.

    You should do like most nerds on online games. Be uncreative and base their name off things like anime or books they have read.

    Lypiphera: A character in my favorite book series was referred to as this and it was translated in the book as "Pain Bearer" which suits a cleric

    Aneurysmal: Psychic has to do with head, Aneurysm is a weakening in the wall of a blood vessel usually referencing the cranium. Aneurysmal- of or having to do with an aneurysm

    Incompetance: 2 sides, 1) it takes no skill to be 5aps, 2) funny to pk and have people killed by incompetance

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.
