Darth_Krushya Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) I made up "plays-on-words." The name of all my characters conveys a message and my Legacy / Surname is a part of it. Unfortunately, the names are a little convoluted and hardly anyone gets the names or the messages intended in them, unless I explain it to them. Oh well. I have 16 characters: 2 for each class and 1 for each advanced class. My Legacy / Surname is "ETYA."

Loc_n_lol Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Firestar. Because that ended up being the thematic of one of my characters in APB, which I then used as a basis for my first character in SWTOR, and it somehow sounded not out-of-place in the SW universe. ...and then I found out there's an heroic quest on Balmorra named just that.

Nakkyi Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I chose "Maleficarum" It translates, roughly, to "of the witches" in Latin. Also, against the witches, in some cases. I name all of my characters after Greek/Roman spirits, deities, or personifications. These have a tendency to reflect the personality of said characters. I may name a future one based on the opposite just for the hell of it. For instance, my sage is "Arete Maleficarum" Arete was a daimona of virtue and valor. So, he would be translated as "Valor of the Witches" He is a very courageous and brave person who isn't afraid to charge in to protect those he cares for. Thrasas(Thrasos, but name was taken): personification of insolence Zephyriaa(Feminization of Zephyrus) : God of the West-Wind. This was just a nice name for her. Anaideia: Daimona of ruthlessness Sententia: Latin word for feeling. Sometimes, it used as judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slafko Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Legacy name: Antigone Named after my monk from Guild Wars which was my man char there and because someone on the Nightmare Lands had already taken Antigone as a character name, grrrrr. I do get mistaken for a Greek a lot, but that's understandable since all my Rep characters have names from greek mythology.
