Name RulesThe name rules are guidelines for the choice of a character name, so that the chosen name fits the world of Illarion. The following names are forbidden: - OOC names (Kevin20, sweetmouse, RoXXo)
- Excessive or absurd names (Lord Underware, Youknow tha'Youwannit)
- Names of the Earthly history or present-day life (Barack Obama, Julius Caesar)
- Names of the Earthly mythology, religion etc. (Buddha, Kassandra, Osiris)
- Names from literature, TV, movies etc - especially not from the field of the fantasy-genre (Gandalf, Legolas, Harry Potter, Mononoke)
- Names that contain a title (Brother Yaran, King Kuno). You can add titles in game using !prefix or !suffix.
- Unfitting names for the chosen race (Krrukz Bonecrusher, the halfling)
In addition the following guidelines apply: - A name has to contain at least a first name and can also have a surname, which is recommended.
- First and surname should begin with a capital letter. Do not use capitals in the middle of a name (JonAthan).
- The name has to be pronouncable, so it should have pronouncable syllables. (Exceptions are names for lizards).
- First and surname should at least consist of 3 letters.
- Name affixes like "el", "al" etc (ie el'Chitarim al Kazar) can start with a lower case letter.
- Lizardmen can have unpronounceable names but they should sound like being lizardlanguage. (Decision of the gamemaster).
You also should think of a name that is easy to remember so that your character cannot be easily forgotten. An excessively long name isn't necessarily a good choice. For surnames the following applies: First come, first serve. The one who first thought of a surname has the rights of this name. If you want to use this surname, arrange something with the player in question. Or have your surname changed by a Gamemaster to something different.
