I go for names that are four characters or less usually, like Bob, Sue, Joe, Fred, Ed, Lily, etc. It's a holdover from my NES RPG days. I also sometimes use silly names, like Chickie or Miss Sassy. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Hmm. How does it work? I don't understand the motivation behind topic rezzing and perhaps I never will. -------------------- "Like most of life's problems, this one can be solved with bending" Posts: 287 | Registered: Tuesday, August 19 2003 07:00 |

Well, seeing as it was a complete newbie which re-started up the topic I can't rant and rave, so I'll have to settle for joining in. I play human characters only now, as I found a good team I liked in Avernum 1, and I decided to stick with them. So, my characters are: Micael Helena Arbok Adriana And we're nasty!... - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Yea, I use Mycroft, Melissa, Philip and Kingy. 3 of those are the ones that are preset on one of the games and the last is me so I feel like I'm sort of in the game. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

For humans, I use normal finnish names like Pekka, Kari, Arto, Jouko, Irene, Liisa etc. For nun-humans, I use, well, imaginative names. Like the-One-Who-Ate-the-Furball, Herra Lisko, Mad Scale and so on... -------------------- I have nothing more to do in this world, so I can go & pester the inhabitants of the next one with a pure concscience.

I play solo with the name Atropos. Atropos is a greek semi-god, he determines when you die possibly for the gods as well. Fits with my characters abilities :D . -------------------- quote: Posts: 12 | Registered: Tuesday, September 27 2005 07:00 |

In reply to VCH, I just have to open my first ever E1 save game: John, Ariel, Nathan, Samantha, Allison, Erik. Brings it all back... the sound effects in that game are, well dodgy.

I usually have my party's names Jerry, Jessica, Nick, and Michelle. But when I played Exile 3, I used these names, can you figure where I got them?

Let's see... I think I had something like this back in A3: Zev (human mage) Emerald (human priest) Beryl (nephil rogue/archer) Elerion (human fighter) And then, a party of druids for BoA: Roughscale (slith fighter-priest) Longclaw (nephil rogue-archer-priest) Bronzeleaf (human priest-fighter) Magnolia (human priest) Another BoA party: Karhallarn (human berserking-halberd-wielding-priest) Oryhara (human rogue-archer-mage) Pinebranch (human priest) Zev (human mage-archer) Main BoA party: Elerion (human fighter-priest) Beryl (nephil rogue-archer-mage) Ephesos (human mage) Lisscha (slith priest-fighter) A bit overlap between the parties. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

I use only humans, most of the time. Most of my naming scheme revolves around "what has a ring to it?" Main BOA party: Vilenus Lumara Tabitha Valgo Roman party: Septimus Sabunus Laetima Aurelia A1 party: Suralin Mulita Koben Dierdre A3 parties: Mulita again Delir Paliir Tulir (yes, the three of them are brothers) Melkor Murrar Eiyosa Prolus quote:"Wait a minute!

I often make up random names, such as "Ramiya Pyrope" for a woman in the original Avernum. They seem have elements of whatever I'm doing at the time; "Pyrope" may have come "pyrite," and I was volunteering at the mineralogy section of a museum at the time. -------------------- Reports of my demise are extremely accurate.

Some more names I use are Michael/Michelle for my Priest-spell caster, Peter, and I also like to keep Aldous sometimes. There's Huckle for my Nephil, Leagare or Kass for my Sliths, and Phaedra. Sometimes it feels like I'm naming children. :) -------------------- "Sometimes I get all hungry! And then I catch some flies! They fly into my webs!

naming humans is easy, naming sliths is ok (mine is usually Hss-Thss, descendant of the great Sss-Thss), but how the hell do you name a nephil? -------------------- OH MY GOD IT'S THE FUNKY ****!!! Posts: 425 | Registered: Wednesday, January 28 2004 08:00 |

My first charac is allways a Nephil named Retrency (and in the first avernum retrency is covered with bandelets, so that noone can know he is a nephil), the second is always named thissa like the normal one and then I usually take celali(a priest) or jade(a nephil thieve priest) and the last one is always Mellia(amage or priest-alchemist-mage (that have all her spells at level 45!!!)) -------------------- Hrrmrrr drew his sword and strode forth from the crude, poor mud hut in wich the nice feline creature lived with his great brethren. "Now I go forth!" he cried. "Now I go, and slay humans, and butcher their children, and interfere with their farm animals foully. For that is my purpose on this Earth. And the Empire shall never get all of us, no matter what they do!" -THE FURY OF THE NEPHILIM (With slight changes by Retrency) Posts: 10 | Registered: Sunday, September 25 2005 07:00 |
