I am nearing completion of a build and am a bit stumped for a name that is simple and yet evocative of the character I have created. My original name no longer fits due to shifts in how I have role-played him as well as some changes in skills since then.
A short summary of him:
• He is a sword and board warrior/knight with just a splash of destruction magic
• He has dedicated his life to making a "vision" he had become reality... regardless of the morality of such decisions.
I wanted to go with something akin to "Zealot" but found that name has already been used. Any suggestions for me?
Thesaurus is your friend: link. If none of them fits, try searching for groups with that kind of skillset in lore or in real world. Or use your RP to define a name.
You have no idea how much I love thesauruses... they were a god-send in naming characters in City of Heroes since all character names had to be unique on each server. I just have fallen flat in terms of inspiration and thought a gentle nudge from one of you fine folks might kick me in a new direction.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I think Visionary moves in the right direction, but his focus is more on the fact that he is attempting to follow this vision so blindly... regardless of moral obstacles.
In terms of Skyrim for instance, he killed Fultheim in cold-blood simply because he had a Blades sword that resembled the one he possessed in his vision. It literally defines his life at this point.
I contemplated that one... but it sounds just a little too positive. I am toying with the name "Caecus Oculatus" which means "the blinded eye" and, apparently, carries a connotation of moral blindness as well.
I think it works well since a signature piece is the Penitus Oculatus armor.
Thoughts?
Totally okay, your Zealot build fits the name very well! :-)
@Matt Walker: Yeah, as much as I like the Latin name... I thought the same thing. Obsessed is a pretty good one. Short, sweet, to the point. I think I may well go with that one. No idea how I didn't arrive there myself. :-)
