Title: Name them!
Post by: fromhell on June 14, 2007, 05:49:12 PM
I haven't but we need input on what names these three characters should be. Their working titles are 'dmo' , 'hnt' and 'slshish'. We can't have these named that by release so pour your suggestions for names for these characters.

hnt's at the left (from a hot climate planet, 'perfect woman' cliche parody pretty much), dmo's at the right (scavenger)
(http://openarena.ws/crap/hnt-pvomit5th.jpg)

and this is slshish (japanese schoolgirl), or what so far is of it
(http://openarena.ws/crap/oaslash9sml.jpg)
(she also has high-tech hover boots)

I will make poll threads after a sufficient amount of suggestions are made.

These are just random ideas, so don't kill me if you don't like 'em :(

dmo    = Dover (dunno, he looks a bit russian)
hnt     = Mercury (for the winged head thingy)
slshish = Lin (this really was just random)

DMO = Alex, Devlin, Yuri
HNT = Myra, Tanisha (black version), Hinako (dressed version)
SLSHISH = Saki, Ayumi, Kaoru

Dmo = Rostok (Kojiro's Right, He DOES look russian)
Hnt = Leira
Slshish = Rai Kamishiro

DMO= Vladimir He looks like a dark individual.
HNT=No clue looks like a Valkyrie on spring break. Maybe Thor_zine  lol.
Slish+ Lin or Rin either would work nicely for that model

Here's my 4 1/2 cents..

HNT could well be Angeliq due to the kick-ass protective helmet.
DMO does indees look russian, Dmitri, Sergei/Sergey or Stasi would suite.
SLSHISH could be just about any eastern female name really, but Sun, Ping or Lin suits.
Fewer syllables makes it easier for die-hard gamers to read.

May be I'm late, but for your info...

Sergei/Sergey

"Sergey" - is more correct transliteration. But "Sergei" is OK too. Good choice.

Dmitri/Dimitri

Correct transliteration is "Dmitriy"

Vladimir
- another popular Russian name

Rostok

"Rostok" isn't Russian name.  "Rostik"  is - diminutive form of "Rostislav". "rostok" in Russian literally mean "sprout".

Stasi
- not a Russian name too :) . There is name "Stas", short variant of "Stanislav".
