hmm..i hope your board name isnt your Character name..if memory serves me right "Sellus Gravus" is the name of a person in The Elders Scrolls 3:Marrowwind. Hmm..i think the guy in the very begining that starts the procedure of creating your character...well anyways! WELCOME! To our humble board...when and if your accepted ill be sure to welcome you to the game!

sorry for double posting but i wanted a gm to take a look at this so my question may be answered

Gm would sellus gravus be an accepted name for a human character?

Posted: **Wed Jan 05, 2005 3:59 am**

I think it might...sory i love that game aswell but it just sounded familiar. To Me it sounds fine...but *asks Arien Edhel, her favorite GM* "is it?"

Posted: **Wed Jan 05, 2005 4:40 am**

I don't know Sellus Gravus but it's not exactly the same as Sellus Gravius

Posted: **Wed Jan 05, 2005 4:57 am**

so it is acceptable?

Posted: **Wed Jan 05, 2005 6:12 am**

Remember to capitalize. Honestly I do not like it but, the gm's are very lenient in my opinion. I too recognize that name, and both parts come from roman names. I know there are a few people with roman like names, this has some good information on them. I am not telling you to copy them, but to get some ideas for a more origional name if you choose to make another.

Need your help now folks. Are both wellknown names?
I don't know them but if they are i can't accept them. Otherwise we have to change them anyhow.

-------this post only contained useless information-------
i deleted it myself

Is it THAT hard to be original and make up your own name without basing it on something of a character already created in the outside world? Hundreds of us here have done it. Give it a try.

THOSE are bad names. Sellus Gravus sounds OK for me, doesn't sound like D@rkKilla0815 or D3m0n5laya!

In the past haven't names derived from Roman been rejected? Granted, I think the fellow was trying some fairly well known emperor's name, but still...

Anyway, it's not like we'll have lots of expectations for the character's behaviour, as said character from Morrowind wasn't exactly memorable or in possession of lots of interesting personality quirks.

Wasn't there a Dominikus Alleradius or something? I remember he was fairly popular, he left a short time after I started playing, and we had the account system then.

Posted: **Wed Jan 05, 2005 9:37 pm**

I wouldn't mind playing with a Sellus Gravus...

So stop being so up tight people. ITS A GAME!

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:48 am**

I think sellus gravus is good. dont know the name too.

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:59 am**

Arien
It seems i have some people that are happy with sellus gravus.

If i can get eneough of these posts in here will you change your mind and accept my name?

hope to meet everybody in-game soon
sellus gravus~

Don't take names from books, films or computer games, create your own ones. If you take existing names, other people will expect that you act exactly like the person whose name you have. If you don't, the roleplay will be disturbed.

If I stay by the name rules I have to say no.
And what about all the *Frodo Beutlins*, *Samweis Gamdschies* and *Clark Kents* I already rejected? I can't accept your name if I'm fair to all those.
Is it so hard for you to tell me another charname?

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2005 12:55 pm**

*Sighs with dissapointment*
...Ok ill find a new name

hmmm I might be an orc named Urgol.

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2005 4:30 pm**

Sorry for the large screenshot. Taken from Morrowind.

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2005 4:36 pm**

Oh how i miss it *sigh*
I havent been able to play due to my good computer crashing.

By the way good effort on getting that screenshot.

Posted: **Thu Jan 06, 2005 4:47 pm**

Ah, it was easy, just made a new char, since I knew he was at the beginning of the game.

I hope when Oblivion comes out it will be more than an expanded map with improved gfx but actually have random missions. I find it annoying that if you kill a certain person it ruins the game, and almost every tomb is related to a guild/cult etc. mission.

Who made up this rule? I mean, If I saw a frodo baggins in game I wouldn't mind because it is a good rp name unlike "Terminator". As long as they are a good roleplayer and have a decent name I dont care.

Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2005 5:08 pm**

the point is, it is extremely easy to come up with a good name. I can probably think up ten in a minute. If its totally impossible for someone to find a creative, and original name, then perhaps that someone lacks the intelligence necessary for this game.

By the way, welcome to our humble community, Sellus. (Please take no offense to the whole lacking intelligence thing; it wasn't aimed at you, in fact, I like you better than most newcomers.) I think that you'll find roleplaying with us to be quite fun... when you can find us.
