If you did not use the default names in the games, what names did you choose, and why? Here's the ones I used for Exile 3 (so far): ixfd64 - Well, that's the identity I use on the Internet. Of course I should be a hero. :D Baratus - He's a very powerful character from the game Hexen. I also used the name "Baratus" on an online RPG. Traductus - He's actually a villian from the game Hexen. I just felt like using the name. Samurai Jack - Samurai Jack is a wise cartoon character with amazing knowledge and awesome skills. I'm a huge fan of that cartoon, so I picked it. Plus, he would make a good hero in Exile. Gandalf - Yep, I'm a LOTR fan as well. Due to his knowledge and wisdom, Gandalf would also make a great hero, just like Jack. Sir Bowen - He's the protagonist in the movie Dragonheart. Later, the movie was made into a PlayStation game and later ported to the PC. Although the game had bad qualities, I still enjoyed it a long time ago. How about you? -------------------- Please visit my website: http://geocities.com/dchia1010 my forums: http://freechat.tk Posts: 76 | Registered: Wednesday, January 30 2002 08:00 |

Sometimes I use the names of some of my friends in real life. Other times I use names of characters from Final Fantasy Tactics (like Orlandu and Agrias for warriors, etc).

Non-original name. D-Pliss - Feodoric sounded kind of weird for a Slith. Boomer - Good for my end d00d who is confined to using bashing weapons for everything. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

I love languages and have learned some Lakotah, (Sioux), so I name the characters from that language. Hard to show how to pronounce, but: mat-O: Bear; Fighter. shun-GHI-la: Fox; Fighter, Thief. wa-KHAN wiCHA: Mystery Man; Priest. pay-JU-tah wiCHA: Grass Roots Healer; Priest. pay-TAH: Fire; Mage. KA-hah: Ice; Mage. On occasion, I'll change a couple of characters, but only for what a specific Scenario calls for. me Posts: 257 | Registered: Wednesday, February 12 2003 08:00 |

I usually use made up names. Omri - fighter - random name Shhhhssss (or some similar serpentile sound) - slith fighter Mrrrurrrr - nephil figher - sounds like cat's "speech" Veziv - mage - evil counterpart to Zeviz Zeviz - mage/priest - a madeup name that I use everywhere Niza - priest - another variation on the Zeviz/Veziv theme (a character I've also used in some RPs) -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill. However well placed word, unlike a well placed sword, Can also have the power to heal. Posts: 2649 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

Some parties that I recall... Latest: Ninja 1, Ninja 2, Ninja 3, Ninja 4, Ninja 5, Ninja 6 Older: Varius, Trannon, Lorelei, Imban, Ablis, Rekwan All of my party builds have the party members being nearly identical, so no real explanations of roles are needed. Everyone in any of my parties ever is a mage/priest that starts off with 6 HP (but massive strength, so massive HP gain on levelup) and eventually develops into a fighter/mage/priest that can kill eeeeeeeverything.

I always call my mage Claire after myself; if I have a nephil in my party, his name is Felix; and the rest are usually archaicised (archaised? ^^;; whate'er.) versions of names of various friends of mine. Like "ye olde mediaeval times" type names. =D One of Exile's few advantages over Avernum: more characters to have fun naming. *g* -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.
