Family Names
Hey all!

Since we now have the lovely "family" option in profiles, here is a thread to help keep them all straight!

Reply to this thread to either give/start a family name, or to be added to an existing line!

Families:
none, yet

Suggestion;

Templar (ie Erthë Templar, Van Templar, etc)
Valiance
Tyranus (wordplay on tyrant, after Riekahn)
Bellator (latin for warrior)

For the descendants of Riekahn in general and the offspring of Paladin the Valiant in particular.

I'd love to hear what others of the lineage think! @Själ @Ranjiri @Alvah @Roskuld Letha Murtagh... uh... who else is related to them? Ranjiri's new kids maybe?

What if we did a combo name? So foals got something from sire and something from mom and dad - say, as a really fast example, Zero would be like Zekle wildfire-zappyface, and Iso would be Isopia Sunshower-OfTheEarth (not a lot of thought going into this), making Mauna Wildfire-OfTheEarth?


RE: » The Great Families - Chan - 07-13-2017

I really like that idea @charks ! :D


RE: » The Great Families - ChaoticMelodies - 07-14-2017

I like that, charks. :3 It sounds like fun to combine the names. ;D and it helps with like... half siblings. Like maybe Gaucho x Soh babies would be fire crystals or something and then Gaucho x Ampere would be like fire sparks. So you'd see both sides of the lineage... I think that'd be awesome.

But I also think of family names as more of a "what makes a family memorable" type thing? Like... for the Riekahn line, I always think of Riekahn and tyranny. For the Gaucho line, I think fire... for Vol I think strength... idk, that's just me. xD

Chan, I personally like Templar best, but those are all awesome! :D <3


RE: » The Great Families - charks - 07-14-2017

Yeah, Rayo, I totally get that - which is why in the offspring we kind of carry down the "stronger" lineage, if that makes sense. So in my example I gave Mauna the family names of Gaucho and Earthy, since maybe they're the stronger lines (SORRY AMPERE I LOVE YOU), and then Mauna could choose which to give his children, and so on. If that makes sense?

DeNuit — is d'Artagnan's family name that any of his family may choose to use :D (thanks to Sarah for suggesting he have one & helping) <33

Gaucho's family name is Vorsa-Shoven which means fire marked

:)

Whoops, I think I misread the original post slightly. :x ignore me. I'm special.


RE: » The Great Families - Sarah - 07-14-2017

please add Mesec to d'Artagnan's family line!

Alysanne & Iona's family line (as co-starters) will be Zosime

Anuya & Sidhra's family line will be Óadoh
