My Asura (Elementalist) is named “Ploop the Didactic”. Think of him as that stuffy teacher you had in school who was always correcting you by going, “Well, ACTUALLY…”

On an entirely unrelated note, he can’t comprehend why so many bookahs keep mispronouncing his name by omitting the “l”.

Hmm, not sure what to say about this name. Cutting out the criticism and just talking about the character, I think it’s a cute name, descriptive and fits Asura standard format.

I’ve got two:
-Male warrior Dakkx. I wanted Dekks or Dekxx because the way it’s pronounced and his use of a hammer, he’ll deck you before you see him coming, but those names are taken. His name is pronounced ‘Daaks’ but some humans and norn pronounce it ‘Daa-kiks’ or ‘Daa-kuks’.

-Male elementalist Vurza Skye. Perhaps a bit feminine, but he’s not particularly a masculine type, if you get my drift. He himself adopted the second name ‘Skye’ because of his fondness of the atmosphere and its elements (of course, his first invention was a weather controlling device). Instead of taking a scientific title to encapsulate his infatuation, he took a more eccentric route (because he is an eccentric Asura).

Oooh, one with a story.

Mine is:
Yoda I am not.

Kinda lame, I know. But there’s a story to it. When I rolled an asura, I got bored by the conventional race/profession pairings (i.e. norn are hunters, charr are straight-on warlike, sylvari are nature/life lovers, and asura are brains over brawn type of guys). So I rolled him into a warrior. As a joke, I wanted to name him Yoda, but can’t.

So it’s Yoda I am not.

I actually made a background story around such a name.

My name. Well I remember it.
Years pass. Training of padawans I have done. A long time, it seemed.
Fighting for peace, compassion and life, I did so.
Embrace the sleep and the Force, ready, I was.

However, cut short eternal slumber was for me.
Shrouded in Mists, I was awoken.
Save the Force, my new duty is.
From those that consume the Force itself.

Yoda. I am not.
No longer shall I carry that name.
Strange and hostile this new world is, fear I do not feel.
For my ally is the Force, and such a powerful ally it is.

Bah. Nit-pick at your own pleasure.
