I am terrible at coming up with names. I cannot take just any one. It has to be just right. I often end up taking them from anime or myth.
More or less in order of playing them:
Clare - She was my first character, and I was basically just getting used to the game with her. Her name is from the Claymore anime, and in fact it was a Claymore mod that got me inspired to get Oblivion and start playing it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion470.jpg - A pure archer (as in no melee ever). Her name is also from a Claymore character. She took on a life of her own, and now is the main character of the fan fic I write.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Teresa-ActII-Valfreya02.jpg - A name I have often recycled from other games, it is one of the names for the goddess Freja (in her role as leader of the Valkyrja). She was Nord warrior, the first person I ever did the main quest with.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion206.jpg - Another anime name, she is from Blood & Blood+ A Dunmer battleconjurer, she was my first magician character.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion262.jpg - Named after the flower. She was an Argonian assassin.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion304.jpg - One of the titles of the goddess Hekate, meaning "The Invincible Queen of the Dead". She was a quirky Altmer magician.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion314.jpg - She is one of gpstr's characters, from a post prison sewer save he gave me. A Dunmer thief.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Tadrose07.jpg - The same character from the game. I made a mod that would let me start out with her appearance, I thought I might as well use her name as well. My first serious character to use a two handed weapon, and the first to do the entire FG questline.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion320.jpg - A name inspired by Aeryn Sun from Farscape. I created a mod to make her race playable with all their gear. She was a Mazken whom I did the main quest with. Also my highest level, and longest-played character so far.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion451.jpg - Taken from Hamlet. She was a former Mythic Dawn sleeper agent who the Oblivion Crisis passed by (I rp'ed it that it was over). A lot of fun, she was a good guy out to save the world from the tyrannical yoke of the Nine Divine usurpers. She was the only character I have done all the Daedric Quests with (except Hermaeus Mora), and then the entire Shivering Isles. As with Aerin, I made a mod that created leveled versions of the mythic dawn bound armor for her to learn, plus some other MD stuff.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion452.jpg - A name I put together after looking through the names list on the UESP wiki. An Orc noble who journeyed to Cyrodiil to escape the shadow of her older sister, who always seemed to be better than her at everything. She was the first character I ever did the entire Arena questline with.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/subrosa_florens/oblivion/Oblivion471.jpg - A name taken from mythology/the women's movement. An imperial assassin, she was the daughter of Claudius Arcadia, [censored] and left for dead by Rufio. Consumed by the need for revenge, she became an assassin, and found she liked it. The first character I ever did the entire DB questline with.
Aina - A name I found after going through an African baby name site. Aina is a Redguard and a devout follower of the Nine Divines. Unlike most Redguards, she is at home using magic. But she still prefers getting in close and chopping things up with her sword. A brand new character I have no pic of her yet. I plan to do the KOTN questline with her, once I get her up a few more levels.
