Of my eight characters, I have three human characters. I know, I’m an alt-oholic.

My very first human was my Mesmer, a pretty girl named Saravati. This is a Sanskrit-derived name related to the goddess Saraswati, which means “she who flows/who has flow”. I was going for an Elonian feel to my character’s background, and hopefully I’ve achieved it.

My second is my Warrior, Cyra Saoirse. Cyra is Persian, and can mean either ‘bright/light’ or ‘throne’. Saoirse, on the other hand, is Gaelic and means ‘freedom/liberty’. She is named after the main female character in a series of short stories I am writing.

Last, but not least, I have my Thief, Levi Halleck. Originally, he was going to be Sylvari but I just couldn’t think of a good name. Levi is one I’ve always loved, and the surname Halleck is borrowed from Frank Herbert’s Dune series.

Melissandre Du Ri, female Mesmer. She is the great-granddaughter of two of my GW1 characters (a male Ascalonian Warrior and a female Canthan Assassin) who settled down in Lion’s Arch after their adventures were over. She still belongs to her great-grandfather’s ancestral Ascalon family (House Ri) who founded a new noble house in Kryta as a reward for their part in helping place Queen Salma on the throne. Despite her heritage, she regards Kryta as her home and feels little kinship to her ancestral homelands.

Male Ascalonian elementalist noble who inherited his name from his predecessor Ascalonian hero elementalist, Trinil Seraph Frail. I came up with the name Trinil Frail for my D&D paladin. I added Seraph as a middle name, to emphasize on him being an elementalist (seraph means “burning ones” – that’s cool for fire ele, also magic is the gift of gods, so a “heavenly” being must be adept at it – at least in my mind).

Female Canthan thief street-rat who inherited her name from her predecessor Canthan heroine assassin, Shimada Ichiro. I was looking for assassin names in Japanese history and found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimada_Ichiro.

i named my ranger kennie Mccormick in reference to the character from the Southpark comedy series.

For those that dont watch it kenny is a character that dies in almost every episode but comes back in the next episode with everyone else in the movie forgetting that he has died. I thought it would be funny naming my character this as it reflects his ability to “respawn” every time after dying :P

The spelling was made like that on purpose because Kenny Mccormick was already taken

My male human noble warrior is Morenin, and will be Morenin Entalle if the ability to alter names ever becomes available (I didn’t realize when I made him you chose last names at creation). IC his parents are from Ebonhawke, so Ascalon, with some Elonan refugee thrown in a couple generations back (hence his dark skin), so I figure his names started out recognizable and got altered as generations passed. OOC I’ve been carrying around some version of the name into four games now, usually with him as a half elf. The surname means absolutely nothing, but Morenin is mor + onnen from Tolkein’s Sindarin, meaning approximately born of darkness. It may mean something in Spanish, I’ve gotten a number of tells over the years asking if I’m a native Spanish speaker!

My thief is Luis Forthwind, I felt Luis was rather fitting to his appearance. His last name however is just one of those typical generic fantasy rp character names. Just making a joke on generic rp character naming conventions because I was too lazy to come up with a legitimate last name.

My warrior is Ascalonian Fighter, because why would I name my warrior Ascalonian Mage? Actually, why didn’t I do that?

Dallas Kayden here. I chose it because the Elvish versions of both names (Saeldur and Idhrenohtar, respectively) were already taken, and they didn’t sound very good together. It literally means “Wise, wise fighter”. Not very creative, but hey, it sounds good.

My Thief is named Sovay; based on a traditional English folk song about a young woman who dresses and arms herself as a highwayman in order to test her suitor. In disguise she robs her suitor of nearly all his possessions, but even under threat of death he refuses to give up the gold ring given by Sovay, thus proving his devotion. Sovay subsequently confesses the ruse to her lover and returns his various possessions, admonishing him only that had he indeed given up the ring, she would have killed him.

Well, there’s Basil Wilding and Haruna Splint. It’s more or less mainly my headcanon for them that I do. Basil’s orphan backstory in his PS is actually for my brother’s character (Jackson Wilding). But the story is basically this:

In GW1 I had three mains: Ein Ridley (Elementalist), Celia Ridley (Mesmer), and Boutan Splint (Ranger).

Obviously Haruna’s the descendant of Boutan, but she’s a thief as opposed to ranger. As for Basil, he’s a direct descendent of my Mesmer (making my first ever character his great-great uncle, pretty much).

Jackson, my younger brother’s character is the orphaned descendant of his old warrior from GW1. It’d make sense the surname (Adiea Ahai was my brother’s character) did not survive for both our characters in one way or another. Now, as for what I really think their personal story is… I like to think that the families of my old characters somehow wound up intetwined again—especially my brother’s character and my thief’s family.

Basil was never good with magic, but has a thing for gardening. The Splint family is a noble house of Divinity’s Reach, which employed him to tend to their garden. He knows of stories about his ancestors. After the Searing occurred, Celia was separated from Ein (her older brother) until the events of Nightfall, when Ein and Boutan were enlisted into the Sunspears.

The Splints are Canthan by origin, but at the same time Emperor Usoku was beginning to be more isolationist in foreign policy—I am assuming there was a brief window native Canthans could return— Boutan was on his deathbed at the ripe age of 103. His legacy is carried on by the family by mounting his old flatbow on the wall of their home to remind them of their lineage. Of all my characters, Boutan was the most complete (I got hacked, so I wound up not getting any HoF titles). He completed Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall and EotN, but in my head I had different stories for him as opposed to the main one.

The White Mantle for one reason or another decided to attack the Splint estate by burning it to the ground. Haruna and the Wilding brothers fight off the Mantle and report it to the Seraph, who then turn it over to the Shining Blade. Haruna’s only theory is that Boutan may or may not have been a Chosen from her family stories(the descendents don’t know their families have a long history together too).

Without a home, Haruna sets out on a quest of vengence—her twin sister having been killed in the attack. Basil goes with her as a companion, but then ends up joining the Vigil to help in the campaign against Zhaitan. Later, Haruna joines the Order of Whispers based off the fact her ancestor had a few run ins with them during his time in Elona. When the Pact is formed, she personally requests to join any squad with Basil and his brother in it and the trio is reunited.

If the White Mantle and Mursaat are expanded on, the story will continue. XD For now, they are on “vacation” traveling around, when a newly awakened Sylvari approaches Basil and tells him that she saw him in her dream and that he’d help her find out what her Wyld Hunt is—she has one, but the interpretation said Basil had the answers.

…also, heavy shipping of Basil and Haruna, because they look adorable together.

Shinki is just my constant handle and Keraunia is a word from folklore that means “An Axe that fell from the sky in a bolt of lightning”

Odd that the name gets censored like that.

Shinkittenraunia

Not that odd. Their censoring code is a little heavy-handed, or the folks writing it have never heard of doing a match on word break. In a case like this, it really makes the word stand out, since you have to notice what it is they’re censoring.

The game wouldn’t let me use my chosen name of “Nianalind” , since it “does not conform to the terms of service.” Thanks. I never would’ve noticed that in there if you hadn’t pointed it out, nor would anyone else I imagine.

My first and only human character was a male Noble (this is important) Necromancer. His name was Kurtz (my great grandfather’s first name. ) Bathory. Yes that Bathroy.

What do I mean by “that Bathroy” See, I am a European History nerd (not slamming anyone but me). One of my favorite stories of 16-17th century Europe was the story of Elizabeth Bathroy. Who the heck is she ,you might ask? She was one of the first known serial killers in history. She was accused of killing 650 girls.
So I gave my necromancer the last name of a noblewoman who killed people.

As for the name, well I thought of the first name a while back when making a my first character in Morrowind and carried the name on to GW1. As for his surname well that came from me relating the necromancer class with death, then undeath and finally Dracula (Dracul).

Funny fact though Dracul means Dragon, which is an awesome coincidence for this game :P
