Title: Names
Post by: The Seanson on July 02, 2014, 12:29:04
Pretty simple question;
Is my character required to have an Asian name?
Also, will there be a name generator (like WoW)?
-easy way to do it:
  find a list of first and last names(http://www.20000-names.com/male_japanese_names.htm)
  Randomize, combine(?)
  Check pre-existing
  Show it

We could do something like choose your first name and we pick a last name for you. It needs to be discussed, we don't know right now.

Thats a really good idea.

Maybe for a additional uniqueness, you could have a 'hardcore' server where your characters facial features, skin tone, name, clan(if applicable) and village are chosen for you.

Just to make this clear, we're using first and last name for a more serious approach, rather than "fictional" names?

We talked this over at the team and we think an available generator at character creation is the best option. Mainly because of last names being linked to clans and because we want people to be able to choose their names.

By this do you mean that we have to use the generator? I don't really care about last name, but I would like to be able to pick my first name.

No, you won't have to use the generator.

"Last names being linked to clans"
Does this mean our last name will be our clan's name? That would be cool

Yup I think that's how it's gonna be. See this topic: http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php/topic,432.msg3984.html#msg3984 ;)

Well, if our last names are linked with our clans, which is probably the case, and you don't choose your last name then you are essentially not choosing your clan, am I wrong?

So, you'll gonna choose only your first name when you create your character, right? The last name depends of the clan name, and even if you leave the clan (for those that are going to be rogue ninjas) you'll have that same name till you die, am I right?

You can either chose both your names, either chose only your first name and have an in-game generator pick your last name from a pool of existing last names in game

Yes, but if you choose a last name that already exists, you should join that clan. :D

but isnt this gonna be difficult if we hv a clan name tht someone eles dont hv doesnt tht mean we cant join a clan and we hv to know what clans to pick before we start the game so we will hv the same last name to join a clan?

If your last name is the first of it's kind, you just become the founder of that clan. So say a guy puts a random name like: Kabuto Yakushi (just a random example) and there's noone in the game that has Yakushi as their last name, he just created the Yakushi clan. All those who will chose Yakushi as their last name will be automatically assigned to that clan.

The way I see it, if you want to create a clan instead of joining an existing one you already have some friends ready to join yours.
