Awevalan Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Greetings, My Ken'Vigard mod has a large area devoted to hunters but I am having trouble coming up with names. If you lot wouldn't mind firing off anywhere from 5-20 Hunter Clan names I would appreciate it very much. Note I only speak singularly rather than about Ken'Vigard Development Studios as a whole because currently I am the only active member besides being the founder of this non-physical entity. Thanks all, Awevalan (formerly Jeridyn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolef Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Do you have any more info on the mod? Maybe some clans can have a heavy basis on mythologies on historical nations heavily influenced by hunting. For example, some with names similar to vikings and norse mthology.Some for native american types.More african descent names.etc... Then again, it is always important to have a name that represents the group. So for instance to these groups have characters only pertaining to them and no other?

Awevalan Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well in total I think I have thirteen hunter clans. Six of those have a specific focus while the other seven really just want to hunt and become masters of the land. The mysteries of the island the clans inhabit is largely what drives them and also when you think of this island...think Australia...as in prison colony. This is one of its purposes but it also tends to cause the population to fluctuate between the lawful and the outlaws. In truth, I can only say so much due to spoiler potential.

theuseless Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well this is a give and take situation. Maybe you could pm some people with a little more detail? Otherwise, you could look up random name generators. You would just take a bunch of cool sounding words and use them as input for name one. Then take some other cool sounding words and input them as name 2. Then take yet more cool words and make a name 3. Then set the name generator to give you 200 names. Pick and choose some cool sounding combinations. You could even run with them and make them even more exaggerated and ridiculous. My name of my castle is Tharnstein. I came to this randomly. I was looking up cool castles when I saw Neuschwanstein. I loved the name. It holds power and yet retains grace. It literally translates to New Swan Stone. I wanted to name mine after it (even though mine bears 0 resemblance). So I decided that the figure to name mine after was Jagar Tharn. He was the unbeatable boss from the first elder scrolls game. I combined the names and viola. I will soon tie the story I have developing into the original story, for a brief glimpse of the past. And so, after that lengthy explaination into the creative process which I named my castle, I hope you can find a way to do something similar. I used the tamriel rebuilt name generator to get the bases of my Npcs' names, but then I modified them slightly. Some hunter clans could be honor bound, while others are simply bloodthirsty predators. For us to give you any ideas, we need a direction. But I will take a stab at it in the dark, cause I like to fight like that. the StrikersSpider-SilksMind PoachersPelt FelterBone Collector The last one is a name that locals give to each other. It is a high compliment which means you are a successful hunter. You can also look up thesaurus and urban dictionary for some fun words too. I prefer the urban dictionary. -theuseless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
