Soulcatcher is a character in the Black Company book series by Glen Cook. Honestly the best series that I have ever read, and I strongly recommend it.
Soulseizer was a name I made up just to follow the 'Soul' pattern.

Mine is from the first Dragonlance Trilogy (amazing read also, destroys those silly ring books) it's one of the main characters (Strum Brightblade) father, (Angriff Brightblade).

In German it means attack, great name for a warrior. Sturm means strike, another good warrior name. It mentions his grandfathers name but I can't remember the spelling off hand, I think it was Bertyl, I would guess it has some sort of German translation also fitting for a warrior. I know next to zero German, so who knows.

It was strange to get ingame /tells in German at first then I remembered it's translation, there's a decent amount of German PL players, it happens often.

DeathlyKnight
DeathlyRanger
DeathlyMage

Just cool names for one of each of the character classes imo.

**Vigilant** · 06-15-2010, 02:56 PM

Vigilant - Watchful, especially for danger or disorder; alert; wary

**vulgarstrike** · 06-15-2010, 03:26 PM

vulgarstrike, no ****ing idea. LOL
silentcries, just a flash in the pan, it's not that great.

**Snakespeare** · 06-15-2010, 04:34 PM

One day I was looking at the name Shakespeare and imagined that the ascender on the "h" could be lopped off making it into an "n", resulting in my nick (and IGN). The fun part for me is the D&D connection to the Staff of the Serpent, also the Caduceus (see Wikipedia article), which is the symbol of the AMA and is a healing staff from mythology. Those were my thoughts, anyways, at the time, and since then I have been asked if it meant one thing or another, which were some pretty bizarre guesses, but no. I'm just a big Shakespeare fan, and a D&D player, and I love mythology and Joseph Campbell and all that, so it's a lot simpler than it looks.

But a guy I work with says it sounds like a biker name. LOL!

**Elfche** · 06-15-2010, 05:34 PM

Elfche - means tiny, little elf (kind'a like kitty:cat) and its in Bulgarian; used that name is most of the games i've played before

Shadowfangs - shadowfang was unavailable and I just think its a dope name :P

Deathmantle - took it from WoW (tier set for rogue)

**HectorCruz** · 06-15-2010, 05:38 PM

this has been done before, but should be repeated until everyone has a chance to share. For those of you who did not see before: I was talking to a friend at work about how all mexican gangster types have cousins who are always there to back them up. I then decided that the names for these cousins are almost always Hector and Omar Cruz. The next day I was watching the show Breaking Bad, and there are two cousins on that show that didn't have names, and they exemplified the spirit of the Cruz brothers. So I dubbed them Hector and Omar Cruz. I then started playing this game, and named myself HectorCruz. OmarCruz was a short lived character in Fnord.
