Good day, fellow Etrayans.

Concerning Antigone's warning regarding our real names, it occurs to me that we would benefit from collaborating on this front.

To that end, I wish to open discussion.

For those who have chosen a name, please respond with what you have selected, that we may know what to call you.

For those who have not, you may use this posting to discuss your ideas or invite suggestions from others.

As for myself, I shall be using "Lucien", the name of a character from a novel in my world.

["Lucien" hits weird enough, but hearing it in the tts is weirder.

...

...


ANYWAY HAHA:] Oh, sure. I'm real good at pickin' names, too.

[oblige]

[ Have all the sincere text in the world. ]

I've no doubt that our fellows will benefit from your aid.

What name have you chosen, Antigone?

[will_chase_balls]

I'll be going by Harry M'Egg!

[oblige]

Duly noted.

Is the second part intended as a surname?

un: prometheus

[hexcope]

I'll be going with Prometheus, as you can see by the username.

[Someone kick him.]

I assumed I should change that one as well, for the sake of not giving it away in text.

[oblige]

Does the name bear some significance for you?

[ Sorry Jayce... ]

un: Sunday; voice

[choirmaster]

I guess that makes sense...

Walking around asking each other our names wouldn't exactly be stealthy.

[He draws a breath.]

Dominicus.

That is the name I've picked.

[oblige]

Blending in is ever the challenge on such missions. This may leave us with one less concern.

Thank you for sharing your name selection.

UN: clicksandgiggles; TEXT

[saychocobo]

I'm going with Vesper.

I can help if anyone wants to try out something with a different feel to it. I read a lot as a kid.

[oblige]

A fine name. In fact, a character in a book I favored in my world was named Vesperus.

un: Odin; text

[odinpusrex]

"Joss" will serve me as it has before.

[oblige]

Did it serve?

[ ...Did it? ]

un: tsundoku |Text

[welcome_summer]

I'll go with Murasaki as an alternate name.

Given it seems we will be disguised once there, I don't know how difficult it will be to recognize Etrayans by sight.

[oblige]

Is there a particular origin to Murasaki?

That has been a concern of mine as well. Even were we to carry an object by which to recognize our own, it could well turn problematic if the local population got wind of it.

un; champion (text)

[twin_blade]

Fake names, huh? I don't really know what to pick.

[oblige]

I can offer a suggestion, should you like.

Text | un: CliveRosfield (which will be changed when he picks a new name)

[herofhopeless]

Do you think it would be a bad idea to use an alias that was used previously? Would that be too much of a connection to our true names?

[oblige]

That is a good question. Perhaps it is a matter of what one regards as tied to them?

Un: TerribleTinkerer | Text

[badnewsandshitlist]

You may address me as Scanlan Keylethus Pikegratia Taryon d’Shorthalt-Grogson, Heir to the Shattered Glory well were are there.

[oblige]

[ He has heard some of these names... ]

I shall write that one down, lest I commit any errors.

audio » un: samil

[rowd]

I'm gonna forget whatever I pick quick enough so I'll just stick with "hey you".

[oblige]

Yet what if you are asked for a name?

audio | @noctgar

[somnifer]

Lucien, huh. [ It's close. Not quite the same, but closer than what's comfortable. Noctis will be chewing on that for a while. ]

I'm going with Navyth.

[oblige]

Yes. 'Tis a fairly common name in my homeland.

Does the name you've chosen have meaning for you?

un: Accelerator; text

[levelshift]

[This is a smart idea, sooo....]

I'll be using Isuka.

[oblige]

A fine name. Does it hold meaning to you?

un: s.rogers

[pursuitofcappiness]

I've picked Ruirthech. It's the old name of a river my mother grew up near. I think she said it means 'fast runner.'

[oblige]

I'd not have considered the name of a river. Its name has an interesting meaning.

I shall add it to the list.

un: kingofthedeadpan; Video

[demigoth]

[ Nico is trying SO HARD not to laugh. ]

My real name's Niccolò, but I think the rules about names are true if it's your chosen nickname? So Nico wouldn't work. Can you put me down as Percy Jackson, until someone gives me a name that's more metal?

[oblige]

[ He will match the use of video, though that just means Nico is seeing a man there with a furrowed brow trying to make sense of this, because— ]

"More metal"?

un: Jay.T | Text

[leastdramatic]

Edmond. It's the name of a protagonist in a novel I read.

[oblige]

As expected from a member of the book club.

What is it about, if I may ask?

un: R.B. | Text

[godsandbats]

Harker. It's part of a character's name from a horror novel.

[oblige]

I confess, I know little of horror as a genre. May I ask what the novel is about?

un: SquirrelPower

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I'ma be Sally Awesomelegs.

[oblige]

Awesomelegs?

text; un: shinra

[ambitiousblond]

I think I am going to go with Evan.

I'm sure he won't mind me borrowing the name for a bit.

[oblige]

I take it the name belongs to a friend?

I shall notate it shortly.

un: Emet-Selch | text

[untsundered]

Very well, I'll play along. Eubulus.

Also, I had meant to alert you much sooner to the completion of your little request, but it is indeed finished. Has been for a little while now. I can appreciate that you and yours have behaved yourselves in the interim.

[oblige]

I shall add it to the list. Does the name have a particular meaning?

Thank you for going to the trouble on our account. Though the mission is of foremost importance, may I ask where this space can be found? I wish to let the others know. As for behaving, I've no desire to see others hurt for want of caution.

[maellum]

Lucien is a good name. I knew someone at home named Lucien. He was really nice.

[oblige]

I knew two among the dragoons as well, and they were good men. As is the character in that novel. It seems a quality they share.

Have you yet selected a name for the mission?

un; valentine (text)

[loveandsin]

Hopefully, it will not be too difficult to identify each other. But, should that be the case, my name is Vincent Valentine, and I'll be using the alias Garm for this mission.

[oblige]

I hope the same. This is the first mission I've been present for to include altered appearances, so I know not what to expect.

I shall add the name to the list.

In: ScielCandide | text

[cache_coeur]

Céline, I think. The meaning’s similar and if someone slips up, it’ll just sound like a mistake!

[oblige]

That does seem a sound strategy. I shall add it to the list momentarily.

un: vivi

[ornitiers]

oh. i hadn't thought of that. i might need to come up with something, too, then. i know a friend decided to go by 'dagger' back home.

[oblige]

I recall you speaking of Dagger before.

Would you also wish a weapon name?

un: GustaveEiffel | text

[demainvient]

Good idea. We haven't met, but for the people who know me, I'll be going by Jean-Napoleon.

[oblige]

I shall note it, that they may have an easy reference.
