Glad I'm not in your game. I actually HAD a John the Sorcerer. He was an ornery and stubborn farmer, who one day found he could throw fireballs, and decided to be an adventurer due to them getting all the gold and elf skirts.
I can see him grousing over a few beers in the tavern with his buddies, the day before he figures out he has the power...
"Ah, look at them yo-yos- that's the way you do it!
Lob some fireballs and scoop up GP
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin', elf chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We gotta plow the...the northern 40
Clear the fields, feed the stock
We gotta take our stuff to market
We gotta move these freakin' rocks!
See the little hobbit with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little hobbit got his own palantir
That little hobbit he's a millionaire
We gotta plow the...the northern 40
Clear the fields, feed the stock
We gotta take our stuff to market
We gotta move these freakin' rocks!
I shoulda learned to play with power
I shoulda learned to throw them bolts...
Look at that mama, she was slayin' all them Chimera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Cthonic noises?
Bangin' on the earth-bones like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin', elf chicks for free
We gotta plow the...the northern 40
Clear the fields, feed the stock
We gotta take our stuff to market
We gotta move these freakin' rocks!, Lord
Ah, look at them yo-yos- that's the way you do it!
Lob some fireballs and scoop up GP
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin', elf chicks for free"
Personally, I have a bigger problem with stupid or obtusely long names on human characters. So you were a simple town guard named Ratholanious Talekanian? And nobody thought to give you a nickname?
A good buddy of mine has a longish name that actually lends itself to nicknames. He refuses to answer to nicknames in general.
He has nicknames, don't misunderstand, but don't call him by any.
