That guy in the golden armor

[Blizzard]

I just can't find the right name when it comes to that guy. The names I tried using so far are and the reason why I won't keep using them:

Maverick (Uhm... just sounds weird and is too long...)
Malek (Ever played Knights of the Old Republic? That one Sith is called Malak, too much resemblance.)
Maxwell (The hero in TLoL 1 is called Max/Maximilian, so no.)
Starker ("Stark" in German means "strong" and since TLoL 4 will be in German, too... (-_-))
Megara (SRK just told me that's a girl name. (._.))

I need a name and can't come up with. Here are that guy's graphics.

 

Keep in mind that the spriteset is still a prototype. Anyway, any ideas for the name? He's a hero and the best way to describe his personality is the he has no humor and speaks in an overpolite tone. (i.e. M: "It is certain that we will be required to to destroy that battle spacecraft in order to prevent further destruction of this planet." Jason: "I'd slap you for being so obvious.")

[Fantasist]

How 'bout Megaro? You decided using Megara until CRL told you it was a girl's name, is that good enough?

PS: If I didn't know better, it was Caro Ru Lushe who said that in Calintz's topic.

[Blizzard]

Whoops! I'm a home right now where I have limited bandwidth so I turned off avys and sigs to save bandwidth so I misread the name, lol!

[Starrodkirby86]

Looking at someone of his stature, he would be formal in a way, but have some malicious and threatening name. I seem to like Maverick, though I understand why you not wanting to choose it since three syllable names usually have a nickname, but Maverick can't make any good one (Except for Rick, but do you honestly see that guy named Rick?).

Starker sounds like Stalker...Take note of that.

[Blizzard]

That, too. And "Sparker" or "Spark" sound more like a semi-cute little animal that can shoot electricity (besides the fact that it sounds like a very dumb name for him).

Maybe I should provide more info on that. I will make him a Dragmatek or at least be able to use Dragmatek powers in order to transform into the form of Dragmatek (that's his Meta Limit) which is a race of human-like (some are, some aren't) dragons that existed before the humans. In fact the two main heroes Max (Maximilian) and Eric (Exirus) in TLoL 2 are the last two Dragmetek that existed. This makes it impossible for our knight here to be a pure Dragmatek of course. -_-
Anyway, what about the name Faust like in that novel where Faust sells his soul to Mephisto?

[Starrodkirby86]

Oh come off of it. You're just thinking of a cute animal shooting electricity because you're right now having that Kracko avatar. And Sparky is a usual name for a Pikachu or a pet. Come on now. Stark was used in Pokemon as Stark Mountain, the area where you obtain the Pokemon Heatran. Just noting.

Maybe you should base the name off something that's regal, a formal, rich name (Because of the gold armor I figure), yet something with an evil name, kind of like a foggy miasma.

[Blizzard]

I want a name that sounds strong. It shouldn't be too formal.

And no, the reason why it sounds cute to me is this:

Name	  Basic 	Super		Ultra		Hyper		Extreme 	God

Reiser	  Shock Cat	Electro Geopard	Panther		Thunder Lion	Giant Tiger	Cyber Tiger
...

Reiser is an Elemental Spirit in TLoL 2. He remembers me of the name Starker and hence Sparker/Spark.
I'd use the name Seth, but that one's also reserved for TLoL 1/2. -_-

Kavin

(Kay-vin)

[Blizzard]

Not bad, but not badass enough.

[Ryex]

Dentril

Den-tr-il

[Starrodkirby86]

I shouldn't have the right to criticize other people's suggestions as these are very good suggestions. But having recently gone to the Dentist, Dentril, whether it's three syllables or not gives me memories of it. Sure, I didn't have any pain, but there was a long wait. A long wait.

[Ryex]

lol

[Aqua]

How about Melkrid?

[Phasedscar]

Voltair  (vol-tare)

Valek (val-ik)

Logash (lo-gash)

Mortaus (Mor-tay-us)

K'Vose (Kâ`vos-a)  Little weird and hard to say, but eh, at least you're sure it's different.

Rutan (Rue-tan)

Also, if you can link the spriteset I want to alter it so it's closer to the battler. Something about the hat just disturbs me and I want to fix it.

[Starrodkirby86]

How about Melkrid?

You can make some lame Japanese pronunciation of that! Reminds me of the Chrono Trigger boss Yakra...don't know why though. Maybe because the name fits with something of that ugly look?  

And let's check out Phasedscar's name.

Voltair is a formal nice name, kind of based off Voltaire, the writer, no? They're nice names, K'Vose is hard to say indeed, but they're original. I don't know which one will make it .

[Phasedscar]

Yup, based off the writer's name.

K'Vose has a very Centeral and East European sound to it.  Kind of in the German, Belgium, or Transelvania line of thought.

[Vell]

Kaliur?

[legacyblade]

Syrvath? (SEER Vath)
Araden? (ARE ah den)
Kydara? (kie DAR ah)
Syden? (SIGH den)
Alentara? (all EN ta rah)

[Blizzard]

OMG, LB! You gave me an awesome idea with Syden!

Sydon/Cydon (Cy-Don)

@Phasedscar: Sadly the spriteset isn't finished. Calintz was supposed to make it, but he's currently inactive. <_<; Do you have the time by any chance to finish the sprite instead of him?

[Phasedscar]

Sure, I'll do it after work tomorrow since I'll have a little bit of spare time.

I'll also edit it so the pallet is a little closer to the battle set...  something about the current coloring bugs me (no offense Calintz, I know it's a work in progress).

[Blizzard]

It was me who told Calintz to make the color more bright and saturated. But he just didn't hit it right, IDK. I hope the sprite will resemble the battler very well as I usually made the sprites I made do. ^_^

[Phasedscar]

Alright.  I'll get a sample ready for you and see what you think.  If it's possible can you link the whole sprite set, or is this the only image you have to work with so far?

Edit:
~Ok, I have a sample ready for you based off the image you already have up.  It's closer to the battler but the helm still feels odd to me.  It's too big so I might thin it out a bit.

[Blizzard]

This looks great! As I said, this is the only image from the spriteset that Calintz has made so far. But he needs a meaner glaze, lol! Try making the helm cover one more pixel of his forehead.

[computerwizoo7]

How about Vair!
Vair the slayer!

[Blizzard]

I already named him Sydon.

[Phasedscar]

Sorry I haven't worked on making the character sprite blizzard.  I've had broncitus for the last week or so and it's taken a lot out of me.  I'll try to get it to you before the end of next week since I'll have time in the afternoons.

[Blizzard]

Ok, I hope you can get it done soon.

[Phasedscar]

Sorry it's taken me this long Blizzard.  Like I told you, I had to format my computer recently and lost the original I had made for you. 

I have one that's about half way completed for you so you know where I'm going with it.



I'll probably have it done for you by tomorrow night.

Edit:  Ok, looks like I got it finished.

I haven't tested it in rmxp yet, mainly because I haven't reinstalled yet (looking for my original files and key  )

So if there's some touch up needed, let me know.  It should look fine, but I can't honestly say for sure.

[Blizzard]

The sprite is great, but I noticed something odd. The first sprite is one pixel smaller. When I tested it with other sprites the left and right sprites are by one pixel higher than Ariana (which is fine, I noticed it on their eyes height), but the down sprite has the eyes at the same height. O.o; And the thing around his neck looks much better on the up sprite, you should make it more tight in the down sprite as well. BTW, do the edits on this version of the sprite. I played around a bit more on the colors.
