Name Parallelism
I have had this thread idea for a long time, and seeing some customs that didn't quite fit name-wise finally made me post it.
ORCS: Grimnak Tornak Nerak Ornak These are named by a 2 syllable name ending in –ak, probably one of the more obvious patterns. SOLDIERS: Sgt. Drake Alexander Capt. John Varan C3V did a good job in name copying here, with an abbreviation of a rank followed by first and last name. DWARF: Migol Ironwill Mogrimm Forgehammer Darrak Ambershard Ulfrid Hornwrangler My personal favorite naming convention. The first name is just that, a name, but the second name is two parts. At least one part has a forge connection (i.e. hammer, shard, horn, iron, forge, amber). LIZARDFOLK: Zogross Hardscale Similar to the Dwarf name, but the second part is a description. I named a lizardfolk custom (rough draft) of mine “Dramlin Bluecrest”, which I think fits nicely. MARRO: Ne-Gok-Sa Me-Burq-Sa Kee-Mo-Shi Wo-Sa-Ga Tor-Kul-Na Su-Bak-Na Tul-Bak-Ra Marro are named after their rank. Warlords are given “-Sa”, Warwitches “-Shi”, Hivelords “-Na”, Female Hivelords “-Ga”, and Overlords “-Ra”. I read about this on heroscapers, but I can’t remember where. WARFORGED: Siege Heirloom Many warforged are named for weapons, but others just names that fit their occupation. Some of my favorite Heroscape warforged names are “Bulwark” by Super Bogue and “Sledge” by Scytale. There's obviously more, but most of the other factions aren't used a whole lot for customs. If there are more you feel I should add, feel free to contribute. |
