    I chose my name because I'm evil and seek revenge upon those that did me wrong, and because Vindictive fits perfectly for an Assassin. The X is just an added bonus. It could mean that I just like how the X looks at the end of the name or the X could possibly mean X as an ex lover. That will remain a mystery. b:chuckle

    Well before I even started this game I had an extensive list of original names I created; Vedovis being one of them. Of course, some time later a friend pm's me ingame to Google my name... much to my disappointment, 'Vejovis' is a Roman god of healing.

    Glamoura (Glam-ow-rah) - My gorgeous cleric :D Originally she was going to be called Glade, however at character creation I clicked the wrong class and so Glade is now my archer. I wanted my cleric to be ethereal and graceful, like Pan Gu intended =D So I chose Glamoura.

    -scratches head and thinks about all my alts-

    Katnisse - from the epic book series The Hunger Games <3

    Darquesse - from the equally epic book series Skulduggery Pleasant

    Vailkirie - My older sisters name is Vail, and I originally wanted Valkyrie but that was taken..

    Drayoth, Orosia, Zabrielle, Veltre, Aznaphix and Liredel - All OC's of mine :3

    Yeah...... I have a bunch of alts. b:victory

    I created characters that can be for a hobby of mine for a PW adventure story

    Warrior Huang: He is the son of a great warrior, with leadership qualities. He is a gentle guy.

    Wizard Mei: She works as a fashion designer, very charming and beautiful. She is scared of insects.

    Priest Lan: She is the granddaughter of the elder of plume city, she is pure with a warm heart. she is always helping people. Although she is not a person that does combat, she talks with Pan Gu to help guide her friends to victory.

    Claimed to be archer Chuck (not chuck norris lol): He is always interested in money, but he is a friend of a real archer named Tylor. He always seek for money and business and pranks

    assassin Jack (A.K.A Yulk): He is an opportunist, and always looking to get attention. Yet he is a very helpful young tideborn.

    Rebirth Seeker Moku: He got the name from Yulk's friend, Tetra because he was in a form of a small tree when she took care of him when he was about to be reborn and he looks as an undead. His past is unknown.

    Tiger Umeru: He is a celestial tiger (named after Umaro from final fantasy 6, but with this spelling the name is in Japanese, meaning to bury), of the sages, he is the light that protects the whole perfect world. He is almost always by himself or with his daughter angel, fighting against the toughest wraiths. (i mostly use tiger form on this char)

    Fox Xeries: Umeru's mate, but she is most likely a lone wolf. Detecting any wraiths that are missed.

    Rosaries are seen far more often than just at funerals, if you are Catholic, or live in Catholic countries. but i like your name...its really nice.

    @Jin_Wang, i do much the same thing...my characters are kind of avatars of stories i make up for myself. when i cant get into squads and quests, its frustrating and boring, and wind up going to an alt that i can still run stories on.


    Roseary - Sanctuary wrote: »
    Since I made a cleric first I wanted a name that was similar to either healing, life, or death. I also wanted to have the name Rose in it since I like roses.

    After a while of thinking(like 2 minutes), I stopped at the word Rosary. It's usually seen around funerals and was easy to manipulate the word Rose into.

    Andromeda was taken so i picked Andromaka for my veno coz thats how my kids used to call Andromeda when making fun of the name. After a while i found out that name exists in the Greek mythology (Andromache/Andromaka)

    Mayatheia is a combination of Maya = illusion and theia = divine. I started to search for a name for my mystic like 2 months before the EG update xD

    My bm got the name LilSuicide coz it fits to a bm , too bad i got bored of lvling her.

    Lylyenn -> It's just because I want a good celtic sounding name. I like those names. I make a lot of changes to the name before I had found the right one that was not taken.

    On Lothranis, I have Arlliann that is a Thalatan and it's the same story. There is just Mallia that come from a roleplaying game forum close by now.

    I have always some difficulties to find names too characters.     b:lipcurl

    Devinettie is one letter off from the French word devinette meaning Riddle..

    (In my old game I had a toon that ran around and asked riddles if you got the answer right you got a prize.. but just like a trickster her prizes could be good.. or bad..) Sides what else would you name a Fox?
    I messed up when I made my toon and didn't want to wait 7 days for the name so I added the I at the end



    Chickaree- Is the North American Red Squirrel
    (My old game she was a healer just like here in pwi..) I like the name Just dun call me Chickadee.

    Veno main - Taiyin
    "taiyin" is the old Chinese word for the Moon. In Chinese fortune telling, if the person who's fortune is being told is female, then "taiyin" represents herself; if male, then it represents his significant other.

    Barb bank - Rai_Kirah
    A not-exactly-demonic type of demon from one of my favourite book series by Carol Berg.

    baby Seeker - Shayll
    Inspired by Dragon Age character Shale.

    babysitter Cleric - YaoXiaZi
    It means "medicine box". Originally created to be a bank for my herbs, but now he babysits my seeker. It's also the nickname of a character from a TV series that was quite popular at the time. The character is a self-taught, self-proclaimed village doctor (who is actually a tad more like a con-man), who by the end of the series invents a pill that boosts fertility in humans XD

    Assassin - Sinone
    "Sin" + "one" Created simply because I wanted to try out the class, never intended to take it very far, never did :D

    Psychic - Psyr
    Also created simply to try out the class. Randomly put an "r" after "Psy" and thought it could be read as "Seer", and that it looked good.

    actually no, i changed to this name myself. i wasnt born with it. (my mom died giving bith to me, my dad died before I was born. Ironic) so keep my parents out of it.
    and just becouse someones name is the same as an historical person, doesnt make them the same person.
