[QUOTE="Agback, post: 1290139, member: 5328"] G'day On of my best ever character names was for a RuneQuest character: [i]Hermod the Silent[/i]. Hermod was a young Humakti from from Hendriki lands who spoke up to persuade his clan to join a rebellion against the Lunar Empire. He ended up the only survivor, and resolved in future to just shut up. He'd talk, but not much, and he never tried to persuade anyone to do anything again. The name grew naturally. Other character names I have kind of liked include: Ivrian of House Green and Scarlet Hawkeye the Fixer Lukian of Brandoch Green G (Gloria) Starling Archer (1920s private eye) William Sherman Asche (1920s Deputy US Marshal) Atticus Lake (1920s Western sheriff) Great Bronze Gong (a monk/martial artist in a fantasy campaign) Shouts at the Sky (An American Native topman in a "Pirates of the Cthulhubbean" campaign inspired by [i]On Stranger Tides[/i]) Nicolas Serafinio Garcia de Segrave (an orthodox bishop in a Fading Suns LARP: see my photo) Henry W (Walpurgis) Ashburn (Ventrue character in a [i]Vampire[/i] tournament module I co-wrote) Lord Tacitus Arbeiter (an Imperial aspirant in my [i]Flat Black[/i] SF setting) James Hunter Welrod Marduk / Maddox (BBEG in a campaign I ran inspired by [i]Highlander[/i]). Non-character names I have been pleased with include: Sarkophyr (a dragon) Khlorophane (another dragon) The Flower of Ice and Steel (an item) and of course The Sword with No Name.
