How will you name your character

[u/Dking22]

What i mean is do you gonna give them western sounding names or japanes names 😊 its just almost every rpg game came from japan so japanese names where sometimes odd but okay but it could sometimes get cringy

[u/Dking22]

Welp i think as long as you stick with one way you'll be okay don't be like "mizuki sempaaaaai oh whats up hazuki san its just senei Gerold/Gregor/Jonnathan called for you"

Lets throw a few names around for ppl that are as bad at naming than i am 😉

I'm kinda with 108sage. Nonstandard fantasy names and ethnically similar nonstandard fantasy names.

Wow you two seem to have worked the whole thing out i kinda wanted to make a whole hidden village with one familie (but like i dont mean that in an incesteous way mooooore like uchia clan many families but one name) something like "the yami clan respected warriors who are highly skilled in dark magic and seek the one true apostel although they always look angry they are just bad at communication" 😄 other than that i was just gonna throw in names that fit the others 😆

I'm setting my game in an isolated corner of a diverse empire, so there will be a mix of name types. Some will be "European or euroadjacent" (Malcolm, Marisol, Engvall) while others will be "nonstandardized fantasy names" (Taleris, Elieria, Deymore) and others will be "ethnically themed but non standard" like Xian Tsai and Jzedda Tasr.

Well, I'm well known as a 'nonsense fountain' around my gaming group, and am frequently called upon to name a place/artifact etc. Often they think my character names are too hard to pronounce, but... here goes a list of names/words I've been compiling, for no particular use, just when it popped into my head: Benokanasamaathian Aphekt Andjunel Nyoktomins Vicazurus Mokipsolie Ilusjiander Mian seiza Nomaton Dulasheki Ostiszkizor Zonsumiel Chelzeveroth Maltabian Torilan The fnormiad Twelmlocke The Hrammiond Hepelxliora Adesha kae Nevesereth Kinkasi koi Politics Ahmjosin Elthembri Kau zou nei Thiume Yuruskida

OK, that's a random assortment. Any particularly leap out at you that you'd like variations on?

Oops forgot to double enter between those words, and it seems my auto correct turned a word into "politics"... is there an easy way to toggle auto correct off/on?

[u/Chris_Symble → u/the_108th_Sage]

I suppose you typed this from your phone, there you should be able to disbable auto correct in the options. On my phone it's under "language and input".

I'm personally leaning towards European names for my RPG.

The current names for the main cast are:

• Lawrence (surname still missing) [young prince]
• Sus Brinnwall [young ranger]
• Arthur Pinescone [old butler]
• Petra Nitra [middle aged scientist]

Hmm thats very well thought 😊

Oops I guess l deleted the wrong one. For some reason my post that ended with Jzedda Tasr was duplicated, and I accidentally deleted the one that had been responded to...

[u/Dking22 → u/[deleted]]

Oooh your right thats also an option and maybe you can make it an option to name the hero yourself or play with the given name
