Characternames?

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 12:57 am

Well, I usually start with a Dunmer because they are pretty much immune to fire attacks, which a lot of the low level critters throw at you. But I figure it'll be cold attacks for the low-level stuff in Skyrim, so I may start with a Nord.

Then when I've figured out that I've picked the wrong race, and the wrong birthsign, and have raised the wrong stats --- this usually takes about three hours of play -- I'll start a Breton. At that point I'll realize I haven't figured out the magic system well enough to use a lot of magica and try a woodelf. The woodelf will be annoying after the first half-hour and I'll try another nord and just hit things again for a while.

Sooner or later I'll figure out what I understand best about the system and stick with that through the main quest. Eventually I'll play about every race at least once if only for a couple of hours.

If I make a male Nord, I'll name him something nordic-sounding like Hrothgar or Kjalgar, with something extra like Ice-Beard if it fits. If I play as a male Dunmer, I'll probably name him Savor Rethan in honour of my Hlaalu character in Morrowind, or more probably I'd give him a more Redoran surname as I'd be roleplaying as an ex-Redoran.

Either Shastantex or Texnshasta, depending on which Steam account I'll get it on. I'll probably get it on Shastantex but name my character Texnshasta. Or completely something random, like G or D or whatever.

Well, my current Oblivion char is a Nord named something like Hulthgar the Edge, a warrior/hunter, survivor kind of character. I will problably go with something along the lines of that if I play the Nord way... I would use the same char, but it just seems wrong for roleplay reasons :P Get a nord sounding name and then a nickname. Abercrombie's style ;)

Yea.


It's derived from the Arabic word for 'Betrayer'.

Also from Warhammer 40k....

My first character will be the reincarnation of my first character in Oblivion. A female Breton named... I don't know. Probably something starting with an 'A'. :celebration:

A female Nord for me, but I'm rubbish at making "appropriate" sounding names, so if anyone has any ideas for me, I'll be much obliged. :) If not, I'll probably just use whatever name comes to mind at the time.

Nordic names:

Rigmor
Agnes
Agnethe
Sonja
Sofia/Sofie
Christine
Eva

Well, Himntor would be the normal Choice but....He can't be since he is one of the surviving blades. So It'd have to be my 2nd name of Choice Clermn. Or my nord Jarde xD

I plan to have two characters. The main one will be a young, slim, fresh-faced Ashlander Dunmer street punk. I haven't entirely decided on a name, but I'm leaning towards Khashimbaal (/,x???m'ba:l/). My other character will be a Nord shieldmaiden named Sigrún Ulfsdjótr.

Raina The Wolf for female Nord I guess. I can't think of anything else including a last name XD
If I can FIT that and even than it would only be if we could become werewolves of course otherwise just Raina, she can be an outland(er) Nord

Character name: Vinnst Mirkbranch
Race: Breton
Class: Paladin (Custom)

I pretty much use the Warrior Class without the Armourer skill, instead I use Restoration.
No other magic will be used.

I'm probably gonna go with a self-righteous altmer mage as my first. Assuming that the magic system appeals to me that is.

Will then make a sinister stealth-based marksman/dual wielder called Xernique which will be my main character. I'll need a few good race mods first though.
