So, when are you going back to Ceresbane?
Title: Re: Coolest names
Post by: Lanliss on March 05, 2015, 09:45:48 pm
I have to go with a couple of people I used to know, though one has not been on in a while.

Valhallen

Aristea Halcyon

Nothing special, but more original than a lot I have seen.

I don't know enough about mythology to know where Halcyon is from. I know Vallhallen is a reference to Norse though. Care to enlighten me?

Halycon is a time that is happy and good. Like, Halycon days are good days in the past.
In mythological connection, its apparently a "a mythical bird said by ancient writers to breed in a nest floating at sea at the winter solstice, charming the wind and waves into calm." which is a wonderful thing for an airship crew.

I knew about the happy days thing, but that is some interesting mythology. What region does the myth come from?
Title: Re: Coolest names
Post by: Indreams on March 06, 2015, 11:37:59 am
I don't know about region. Probably Northern Europe.

It's a bird that brings good weathers. Halycon.

Once I saw a ship filled with "Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy" related names, so there was Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, etc.

One time I called my Goldfish "Slartibartfast" just for da lulz

Also once I saw guy called "Colonel Mustang". Anime fans will know :P

It's also ridiculously overused.

After just reading this thread, decided to see if what thought was an original name for my toon. It ended up being....

"Rowho?" is the 68th episode of the series and the 8th(b) of Season 3 of Robotboy. In this episode, when Robotboy gets dirty Tommy suddenly finds a robot polish from nowhere and uses it to Robotboy but unfortunately it somehow made him lose some of his memories and can't remember anything from his past.

Seems the original names will be ones like  dkjvjhbuir

Thing is never watched that childlike show or even heard of it till Right now......

The name itself "Bronzium" is sort of an indifference to my regular username, GoldMan27. I use it to show the difference in myself. When I started with the name GoldMan27, I was a young fellow of the internet (and in some clans on other games). Over time, as I became re-elected for leader in my clan twice, I came up with the name "Bronzium" to show my age in my online career, since at that point I was becoming more of an old, wise man in my clan than a leader.

I've even used the different spelling "Brawnzium" as a symbol of mass and strength in MMOs (that I rarely play nowadays). Personally I think it's a rockin' name, and quite unique.

This will probably not mean a comeback unfortunately, matchmaking kind of ruined the game for me, and it made it a lot less fun to pick up and play.

Dota may have also had a small part in my absence.................................................................... 8) 8) 8)

He was easily the best I'd ever had in my "Nooby" times.

that was such a slooooooooooow anime and in the end nothing was resolved. So you trudged through the whole thing of sluggish plot progression until it reaches a moot point.

AH :o well that makes much more sense, sorry, thats what i get for reading threads at 3 am. There's really not all that much to tell, believe it or not. Cykas has been my default name for characters and stuff for at least 5 years (in varying spellings) and the latest incarnation of him was a character that if he wasn't a paladin, he might as well have been. Then i just kind of said "Paladin cykas. huh. that sounds pretty cool. and thus the name (and a new version of the character :P )

Post by: ShadedExalt on May 14, 2015, 12:18:31 pm
Well, I've always been a loner, but also incredibly friendly to anyone who doesn't decide to be a big fat jerk.  Someone who's exalted is usually idolized by the people, or royal, and if something's shaded it's in the dark somewhat, and a little isolated.  It's kinda like me.  I'm a really nice guy, with almost no enemies.  I can't think of a single person I'm on bad terms with.  At the same time, I'm a loner.  I sorta chill in the corner, doing my own thing.

A shaded exalt.

(I also get either 51/49 Extrovert or 49/51 Introvert on those ENFP/INTJ/etc tests, so.)
