    Default So what are the other character's names?

    Can you pass the "What's my character's name?" test?

    Think about a campaign you're playing in or have in the past played in.

    Tell us the other player's character's names.


    I was put on the spot when talking about our longest running D&D game from a few years back. Out of the 3 PCs (that weren't me) I only got one right. How bad is that?

    Default Re: So what are the other character's names?

    Hmm. It's been years and years since I've played at an actual table, but I can try.

    In my first game, we had an Elven Wizard named Istarius (yes, that was me. Yes, I'm ashamed), a human monk named The Nameless Monk and a guy who changed his character every two weeks. He was always just "the bard", "the rogue", "the sorcerer" or "[Player Name]'s Character".

    And yeah, for most of the games back then, I can't even remember my own character's name. Though Eldan (the character) had a colleague named Surya. I remember that one because we were only two.

    Can't say for the second game I'm in, honestly. But the first one...

    Elf Druid: Lia Silverleaf (My character)
    Warforged Warblade: A1T-F4 (He intentionally uses his manufacturing code as a name. For short, most of the party calls him "Altie". Lia prefers "F4 [Effore]")
    Halfling Warmage: Melk Witterwick (I might be misspelling that, but I'm not sure)
    Human Rogue/Psion: Jordan (I don't recall his last name though)
    Changeling Ninja: Xia (Originally disguised as a human named Jason, if I recall correctly - Xia was outed as a Changeling some time ago)
    Human Fighter: Loki d'Cannith (temporary hireling - has since parted ways with us)

    We have just gotten a new ally, a Tiefling Cleric, but I haven't learned his name yet.

    This is all in Pathfinder if the system matters to anyone.

    In the campaign I'm DM'ing currently:
    Jander - Human dual-wielding swashbuckler
    Mordrith - Human Druid (Therin is his Snow Leopard)
    Oberon - Sylph Evocation Wizard

    Everyone hates surnames in this campaign for some reason...

    In another:
    Merrick Mayfair - Human Bard/Ninja (Me, I steal names from books sometimes, sue me...)
    Tarquin Blackwood - Half-Giant Barbarian/Rogue (Took the name because of my chosen name)
    Elesbeth - Half-elf Sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline)
    Fadreus - Human Wizard

    Finally, in a third campaign (hasn't started yet so I only know 2/4 names):
    Dexter Brunswick - Human Alchemist (Me)
    Preston Brunswick - Human Rogue (Mute DMPC because... well I don't know why he's going to be there aside from the fact that he's my brother.)

    You guys are good at this.

    It's got to be confirmation bias. I mean if you have forgotten you can just choose not to post.

    Default Re: So what are the other character's names?

    I haven't attended my game in months (April?) due to work scheduling... and even then, I had to ask the other players their character names, because they didn't volunteer them, despite it's a game where we're a group of secret agents that work together on a daily basis.

    Plus the group did all restat/rebuild their characters.

    My guess though:
    Leader: Mr. Smith. No first name as of last I knew.
    Former heavy, now likely tactical/fire rifle user: Kora (my gf's character)
    Former psychic, now melee specialist: (forget first name) Norris. I remember a Chuck Norris Joke


    And without looking at my character sheet... I forget the guy's name. Jack Castle? Jack Spade? Jack Bishop? I originally had a tech/med/support skills character, but remade into the party face.

    Default Re: So what are the other character's names?

    I'm playing in two Exalted games at the moment:

    Game 1 (been running for ~2 years now fairly regularly):
    Mendicant Oak - myself, Twilight Caste healer
    Chichiro - Zenith Caste priestess
    Somber Orchid - Eclipse Caste funerist
    Scarlet Jax - Night Caste archer
    Vazsh Madrine - Dawn Caste sailor (deceased)

    And that's not counting the dozen or more named NPCs that travel with our Circle and our myriad recurring enemies. Actually, the name that the players have the hardest time remembering is my character's because he recently changed it (it was a whole thing).

    Game 2 (been running sporadically for maybe a year):
    Dagger - myself, Night Caste assassin
    13 - Eclipse Caste monk
    Lynn, the [something-something] Blade - Dawn Caste duelist and healer (played by my fiance)
    Rake - Zenith Caste demonslayer
    ?? - Twilight Caste detective/necromancer
    Silken Veil (?) - Twilight Caste bureaucrat/sorcerer (deceased or corrupted)

    For this game, I have the other PC's names written on a piece of paper I keep with my character sheet. The deceased characters in both games were played by someone who moved across the country not long ago.

    Alright let's see if I can do this...

    Players listed in the same order in both lists as these are both played with the same group.

    In my Fading Suns campaign:
    • Marco Alejandro Diego Fernando Rodrigo de Hera of The Hazat - My Hazat noble. Charming and a decent duelist. Trying to serve his Emperor and find a place in the universe.
    • Archbishop Raphael Sextus (Though we just call him Brother Ralph) - Wandering priest and healer, overly-beloved by the common man. Probably the only responsible person in the party.
    • Kavethi HardEnoughToPronounceLetAloneSpell - Weird Obun techie who wields powers not designed for mere mortals.
    • Hank Freeman - Ace pilot, druggie and dodgy scoundrel extraordinaire. Recently turned "space gangsta" after discovering he accidentally worshipped a demon.
    • William De'Bon - Secretly the presumed-dead heir to House Hazat. Thug, bounty hunter and professional ass.


    In my newly started Hunter: The Vigil game:
    • Warren Alexander McArthur - Professor of archaeology and lecturer at the University of Philadelphia. Knowledgeable, decent with a gun and owner of an evil cat.
    • Harry (?) - All around asskicker working in the private security business his former Haitian warlord father started. Always wears a suit.
    • Willy Wang Dong Johnson - Texas born Chinese American star of such B-grade, action classics as "Raging Thunder". Party face, kung-fu practitioner and all-around good guy.
    • Buddy - Special effects master and equipment guy. Got a bum leg and a kickass dog.
    • Andrew (?) - Burnt out EMT addicted to morphine and what have you. Stunt driving god and fairly selfless good guy.


    I am proud of my ability to pay attention!
    If I had a +1 Pan of Frying I could totally do that!

    Default Re: So what are the other character's names?

    This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. :P I'll start with the easy stuff, the game I'm in currently (where I also write out notes for each session).

    Xelryn -- Human Archivist//Wizard (my character)
    K'thaandyr "Thaan" -- Human Cleric//Rogue
    Lushky Kishmir -- Tibbit Scout//Fighter
    Damian -- Human Sorceror//Rogue
    Sumsylaltael "Adder" -- Elf Ranger//Rogue
    [I think the player picked the name by deciding an English phrase she liked in the Races book that has some Elven-English translations... When she introduced herself in the first game, she was immediately nicknamed "Adder" because of the first syllable in her name. :P]
    Petras -- Human Knight//Fighter
    [Originally named Greenstar when he was a Dragonborn Paladin//Fighter]
    Jack -- Human Street Fighter//Rogue
    [Tomboy, grew up on the streets pretending to be male but is teasingly called "Jacqueline" by PCs or NPCs that feel the need for a fist in their face]
    Avithion Somethingoranother III "Avith" -- Dread Necromancer//Warlock
    [The character is an 8 year old boy who goes by Avith because his full name is "too long and hard to say." It's kinda funny that he says that though, since he has one of the highest INT scores in the party. :P]
    ????? "BT" -- Tiefling Bard//Sorceror
    [New player just joined in the last game and the PCs have yet to learn his name, although Avith has nicknamed him BT... I don't know why though. His introduction was amusing though:
    Petras: I am Petras, may I ask your name?
    "BT": You may.
    [long pause]
    Petras: ...Uh... what is your name?
    "BT": You are not worthy enough to know it yet.
    ]

    Now I've been in three other D&D games in the last 2-3 years... but there's only one game where I can remember any of the PCs names (including my own) and that was the one from three years ago.

    Rhial -- Gnome Druid (me)
    Cade -- Halfling Rogue
    Bob -- Half-fiend Human Rogue
    ???? -- Human Monk
    ???? -- Human Psion
    Konn'r -- Human Psychic Warrior (DMPC)

    I can't think of character names for either of the other two games though. :(

    Oh! I just remembered a major campaign that I am in (that is on hold) that I forgot to mention in my previous post, so let's see if I can do any better and redeem myself by remembering the characters... (This is a homebrew DnD 1ed/2ed, complete with homebrew rules, races and classes, so if things seem unfamiliar, that might be why! )

    Ok...

    Horatio- Centaur Cleric of Makof (me)
    Frederich- Idian Wizard
    (?)- Idian Necromancer
    Oompa- Ogre Fighter
    (?)- Goblin Thief (killed, player left after 1 session)
    (?)- Wow, I don't even remember this guys race or class... he had a magic cannon instead of a hand... player disappeared after one session
    (?)- Minotaur Warrior
    (?)- Elf Thief (killed), (?)- Hobbit Assassin
    Arthur... Arthurus... Arrurus... Human Paladin of Makof (now an NPC)
    (?)- Elf (?) Was Secretly King of a Country but did not know it (Before I joined the group. (Player is gone, but makes occasional fuest appearances).
    (?)- Elf (?) (Left before I joined)

    All sorts of NPC which I thankfully don't have to name, because I can barely remember the PCs!

    I really suck at this...

    Rushalia, Halfling treehugger (custom class), destroyer of nations and all-around troublemaker.

    Later on, Rush got himself killed by going into the Underdark to investigate some invading robots on his own, so his player rolled a new character:

    Underbow, Halfling rogue/wizard/arcane trickster, slayer of the Tarrasque.

There you'll find a warrior savage enough to match any dragon, and in the end, they'll retain what the others won't. Their humanity."

    My typical group is only two other people, which is too easy (Tartarus the ranger and Jaina the fighter/rogue) so I have to think back to the last larger group I had. I know there was:

    Ilos, the half-minotaur warblade (me. Yeah, I might have been feeling a bit vindictive towards someone that night.)
    "The Dude", an elven wizard who lifted his name and entire personality from The Big Lebowski.

    ...

    This is much harder than I thought. I remember that the other two were a half-elf rogue and a half-elf bard, but I can't recall the names. I think they might have just picked ones from the PH.

    Laura is a really good GM. She doesn't take ****.
    Good campaign. I do remain my favorite GM, of course, but second-best is pretty good!
    Just write Game of Thrones already.
    I hate that Laura's built out this world enough that we can walk into a church full of nudists and my first thought is, "Oh, it's these guys..."
    This is probably the most enjoyable campaign I've ever played in. It's really stressful, but enjoyable!

    Think about a campaign you're playing in or have in the past played in.

    Tell us the other player's character's names.


    I was put on the spot when talking about our longest running D&D game from a few years back. Out of the 3 PCs (that weren't me) I only got one right. How bad is that?
    No, that's about normal. People tend to forget names with the quickness, if it isn't their character. I honestly couldn't give you a single name other than mine from our current campaign, though in fairness, it's only one session in. I could recite what each character is and how they operate, tho.

    let's see... In campeign order, from oldest to newest.

    Where I played the bard, Arthur:
    Tor- warforged barbarian
    Schmee- Halfling Sorceror
    Glib- Halfling Binder
    Kathica- Halfling Wizard
    Joira D'Cannith- Human Artificer
    Slaughterbeast- Anthro Wolverine Paladin of Slaughter/Barbarian/Black Blood Cultist/Whatever gives you Deathless Frenzy. Learned the hard way that Melee cannot beat casters when he surprise-attacked Joira.
    I don't remember the name of the Drow Legacy Champion, the Warforged Dragon Disciple, or the Human Cavalier, just who was played by whom.

    Where I played the Wizard, Bold
    Grotnarg- Dwarven Fighter
    Nyelelleliass- Drow Bard
    Don't remember the names of the Human Fighter (Because he was only there for one session) or the Gnome Nightmare Spinner (Even though we were constantly butting heads)

    Where I played the Paladin, Eric
    Jacob- Human Crusader
    Thomas- Human Wizard
    Irol- Human Dread Necromancer
    there's two characters I'm forgetting, both sorcerors and brothers. Looking back, this was an all-human campaign o.0

    Where I played the Cleric, Yin
    Yang, Human Fighter
    Samson Lynch, Human Barbarian
    and really, that's all I can remember, namewise. Our groups got split up into 3 seperate groups run by 3 dms. there were 16 players, so I really didn't try hard to remember the names of anyone not in my group. There was also a warmage in our party, but he died about halfway through.

    Where I played the wizard, Hallmark:
    y'know, despite this one being the most recent, I don't remember any of the other character names offhand. The campaign was never finished, so there wasn't much chance for anyone to make a serious impact on me. We were playing Kingmaker, and they kept rotating DMs, until it fell apart (I had to completely redo my character at one point, when the next DM decided we were running core only, with point-buy stats now)

    I'm going to abstain, mostly because I'm almost always the GM, and my tendency to write campaign journals about our ventures.

    I have real life issues with names, anyway. I have to use extremely bizarre mnemonic devices just to keep things straight. I don't even remember the names of the characters in the L5R game I'm running unless I'm looking right at the notes. However, I do know that one of the characters in the D&D game I'm in has the family name "Mordavian." I remember this because he likes spiders.

    Hmm, first campaign?

    Three characters I can't remember the names of. There was a rogue I think... And a druid..? I was a sorcerer/monk and actually I don't remember my own character's name or race... I think it had an X... The one character I do remember was my friend's dwarf paladin: Dwarf Dwarferson. Also his catch phrase "Dwarf's my name, dwarfin's my game!"

    The second campaign is easier. There was me, Vurjil the half-orc cleric, ERROR (I AM ERROR) the gnome bard, I don't actually know if the halfling rogue had a name... It's not really fair because half her character gimmick was not talking often. Anyway then we had the monk, Rauchebeir or however it's spelled.. Drunken master, naturally. The druid's name I don't remember but no one could as it was an archaic name and almost unpronouncable by our people. We ended up calling her Booster and so that basically counts.

    The third campaign, which I dm'd, featured the scout/druid Sancho [the Stachemaster], the warforged dragonfire-adept Pledge, the half-ogre psychic warrior Gorguts, the beguiler Cecile (only appeared 2 sessions), the cleric douchetta (appeared maybe 4), the paladin Eormenhild, Sancho's air elemental companion Gus-Gust... that's it I think.

    The current campaign I'm DMing... There's a dread necromancer//warlock The Undertaker (he hasn't really decided a name. There were jokes about Tom B. Crypt, but that's not going to be a thing I don't think.) Then we have Drae, the knight//shugenja [fire]... Ok so I'm not the best with their names yet but they just came up with them last week so I'll get there. I know the team paladin//healer has a nordic influenced name, and has decided to have a beard.

    Look everyone this image is a link!

    For the game I'm playing on IRC with some buddies from another forum, the characters are as follows:

    C. Darcroft the human rogue (we've yet to find out what the C. stands for)
    Atharla the elf wizard (me)
    MK the half-elf bard (yes, that is his name)
    Coryn the dwarf cleric
    Hecalba the elf ranger
    Azalea the human fighter/sorcerer

    Wow, we've got the same classes as the Order of the Stick (bar the sorcerer multiclass)!

    Most of the gaming I've done in the last year has been Encounters, and the other gaming was with a group that rarely bothers to even name their characters. =|

    The last legit campaign I played in, out in Colorado, however:

    Beryn Sorn - human ranger/wizard
    Vaugn Sorn - warforged (adopted ) rogue
    Volshen Archante - elf wizard/cleric
    Miranda Archante - half-elven psion
    Oskar the Serpent - phrenic human soulknife/psion
    Graven Swordhand - half-ogre human fighter/barbarian
