Aww, thanks guys for your help   @doubie, Aw honey that's sweet from you, i know you've little free time already  and you like picking names, oh that's good for you, for me i found myself in a moment forget every name i already know  and while searching through different names i got confused and can't take decision  and hey don't worry about the reply  @ Ash, wow thanks my friend, your suggested named are perfect and that sometimes you alter an already existing name is so creative and good idea and thanks for the link so much however i like the names you already suggested to me but i can use this site in future for other chara i like Dima and Araffa mmmm,,,,,,, will think about which one is fitting with the chara i prefer Dima but what you think ? And Doubar what do you think Dima is better fitting than Araffa, right ? |

@teti no prob. If you want something more exotic you could always combine the two. Like.!
Araffadima
Aradima
Arafidima
Dimaraf
Dimaffa
Lots of combos you could make up just with those two names.
Picking between the two on their own, I like Dima.

Awesome names there, Ash. And I agree, Dima is a great one. As for how I choose names... while when I was younger I mainly made up names according to my own liking, I now prefer to browse name listings. That's also how I found Maea, Majid, Arif and Ayesha btw. And I usually try to choose names that have a meaning which fits the nature of the character I am inventing. ^^ This said, here are some that I stumbled across (just a quick search though, it's rather late already xD ): Alcina - strong minded, a sorceress in Greek mythology Medora - ruling Melana - giving; dark Melantha - dark flower Minerva - power, thinker Seema - border, limit Tressa - reaper These should be all Greek names (as you mentioned this was one of the languages you'd like to choose from). I guess though not all of them are really fitting for her. I don't much like Minerva and Melantha for example (although the latter's meaning fits beautifully), and Seema doesn't quite seem to fit her either (when I look at her I don't feel like this is her name anyway). But maybe you'll find a name amongst those that you like (after all you're the one who's invented her, thus if anyone can say what her name is it's you  ). I guess my personal favourite from these few would be Medora, but that might just be me. And in any case I only had a look at names with the letters A, B, C, M, S and T anyway (as can be guessed xP ) so maybe I'll come up with more sometime later. P.S.: I also found Taryn btw. It seems to be a name that exists in many different cultures. As a Greek name it means 'reaper', as a Norse-Celtic one it means 'thunder' and as a Greco-Roman one it means... 'Queen'. Awesome. ;D |

@ash,So you like Dima too that's great Ash, i think it'll be it then if we see what the guys opinion and Woww this so creative Ash to combine both name and have all these results SO CREATIVE really, well done thanks again @doubie, And I agree, Dima is a great one. so you like it too i think that'll be the one we -Ash, you and me- all agree about it and find it fitting to chara wow was that a hobby ? that's so creative so you like the names in general,,, know about them, searching about too that's great and about Maea, i don't know if it's the same of Mia but they sound similar, so did you know that the real name of Dermi was Mia in reality yup i know that because when you and Ash proposed names for me and before it when i tried to think about something myself i found myself so interested to search a meaning that fits with the chara nature and thanks Doubie for spending time in searching names for me agree with you, and i'm with you about Minerva and Melantha (which has attractive meaning that may add on her chara some evil beauty ) actually i like the meaning of the names you picked, and first ones who attract me by their meaning were Melantha and Alcina, Medora sounds good too i like it, and if we didn't all agree on Dima i think we would use Medora Wow it's awesome indeed and all the meaning somehow fitting with her chara ;D ;D nice finding

@ash: Oh wow, so you had a similar idea? Awesome. Yeah, I guess it would be pretty intriguing to confront the crew with their dark sides or their doubts and fears. Let alone that I imagine it to be quite some fun for those who play the illusions. ^^ Anyway, feel free to use and modify the idea in any way you like (same goes for you Teti ). I just wanted to throw it into this discussion so that anyone could use it if they wanted. True though: it seems we're coming up with too many ideas these days. Lol, telling from the current pace of the play it'd take us millenia to play them all out. xD xD xD Hum, you got a point there indeed. Say, did you ask Nili if she could send Thea a message? @teti: Awww, well Dima is a great choice and you'll have no objection there from my side. Haha, and well I guess I wouldn't exactly call it a hobby, but yeah, I have always liked to pick names. Dunno why. Maybe because a name can be so meaningful. =) As for Maea though: no, it's not related to the name Mia, not that I'm aware of anyway. Instead it's a Roman name meaning "great/nursing mother". A couple of months ago I was improving on Mala's bio and I searched for her real name. I roamed through a name listing for Roman names... and that's how I found Maea. ;D And you're most welcome. I'm glad you liked the names. Indeed. That's quite cool, isn't it? ;D Yeah, I guess that'd be the most sensible solution for now. Unless one of us, or even a new member, is interested in taking him over. Oooh, alright. So most likely it will be Dima then who reveals Bryn's true identity? Well, I guess there's no objections against this one as long as our beloved Rumi is still missing. I mean, at some point we just got to move on, and your idea sounds pretty interesting, too. Though it would indeed be hard on Bryn, and the crew for that matter. Finding it out like that. >_> Hah, and nice ideas with the poisoned drinks. Looks like the crew's heading for quite some trouble there. ;D Yay, and thanx for liking the illusions idea. It's true, we can easily apply it still, even with Scratch no longer being active. After all, telling from what things look like now, there'll be Dima, and Ash or Rahven could create such a maze, too. And fab idea about combining it with MJ's suggestion. Especially if Dima was the one to set up the trap it would be a great idea to use a servant to lure the crew into her spell. |

@sinbad,Oh i just saw your post in Thoughts about the story thread,,,, so sorry to be so late,,, i even may read it before and forget,, please excuse my confusion so you like to connect both my chara with Ash's new one also Doubs suggested to me, well it's ok with me but now it's depend on Ash if it's ok with her i'll see with her if so then tell you about what we'll find out together -Ash & me- if she accept it @ash, ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D but yeahhhhhh it's talent of you N.B. about the ideas of both our charas here, i noticed what Sinbad suggested and also as Doubs too suggested it that if we may make the two charas work somehow together, so i'll pm you soon to see what do you think about this and what possible plan we may put to make them together if you accept it already, and if we make up something we may tell the others then ,, so you may expect some pm soon @doubar,ok if you say so but anyway i'm trying to focus on many things right now that i'm starting somehow to confuse or interlude between events,, i mean i don't know what to focus on first,,, i want to confess something guys, may be i sometimes got some ideas but i'm not so creative i mean i can think about an essential/general idea or a link between some chara or events,,, but a real details and so on i'm afraid i can't be with this creativity yo expect,,, many times if not mostly i got mine from other stories/ movies and so on,, but pure mine i think i'm a big mess ,,, but who knows about this idea, may be if Ash agreed we may work on together under any case thank you Doubs for providing us your own idea ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D well what i was thinking of before i realize Sinbad 's thoughts that -for my suggested chara- would be an adventure i mean after the whole events of the play took place, or during it but in same time with Rumi plan,,, but i realize the shortage in baddies as Sinbad already said,, point is i was looking at the beginning at further after the current events took place, while Rumi was working to get the crew Dima had already started her plan long time ago and now was progressing,,,, so i already know that'll take SO LONG time to write it,, Awww really that's great yeah know what you mean, and agree with you i also feel sometimes curious to know about names meaning but i don't search for them,, and if i have a chance -a site- i find myself forgetting the names i already know so don't know what i want to search bad memory i'm suffering i wasn't like that but that what i become,, and about Maea, wow what a beautiful yet too fitting meaning for Mala chara good job here i only sense the similarity in the pronouncing so i doubted it about the meaning, that's all and yeah i like the names you found and appreciate your help so much About Taryn,,, yeah indeed it's very cool ;D ;D ;D yeah, just hope you already know about his plans i mean Scratch's player plans for those related chara or we shall make new plans  Ooh Rumina had some plans for Bryn ,, yeah i think i read somewhere before but forget about it completely when thought about my idea so sorry about that, so i think if we only could contact her to take her opinion,,, but you already told me it's so hard to do,,, well i'm feeling so bad about destroy someone plan, even if the player isn't online,, not to mention that there is for sure no comparison about Rumina plans and mine,,, i mean she is very creative and amazing authors and her imagination is amazing,,, me i'm just inspired by other things and i'm a starter in writing well, i have an idea ,, if anyone know Rumi plans may pm me about and i'll try to find suitable way to link between both in a way that Rumi plans are untouched and unaffected by the supposed aunt' ones and we'll see in this case about how exactly Bryn could know about her past, or we can make the confrontation between Bryn and Dima in privacy not in front of everyone so that only Bryn will know and not the others if that will match with Rumi plans to surprise/shock everyone else about Bryn identity. so what do you think ? yeah in this case it'll be so hard for everyone,, a real task for Bryn loyalty, as well as the whole crew trust in her but her taking their side without even any time to think about will make them pass through it somehow it's plan A for Dima, and should have plan B & C too if failed while the latter two are magic involved, but to tell the truth i still didn't think about them nor have ideas currently, and both MJ and yours idea sound pretty good as B but i'll discuss it with Ash first to see her plan and if we can combine our plans together as you said Dima/Cadius/Ash or Rahven may work together ,,, that's of course if Ash accepted it YAYYYY you like it great ;D ;D

@ Doubar I haven't cause I did already send Thea a PM and I imagine she'd have her account set to send her an email when she gets a PM. I wouldn't feel right about asking Sinbad to actually send an email. Too intrusive in a way.. I'm weird about respecting others. As you've said.. It might just be that it's summer.. er... winter there. O.o I can never wrap my head around the concept of snow in July XP
@teti I'm good with that.. Just gotta figure out exactly HOW they end up working together....
..
Unless...
*Grins*
We'll work on details via PM first then we can post an actual plan.

@teti
No worries. Sleep first. Evil plotting is always best after a good night's rest.
@all
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Hehehe.
AHAHAHAHAAA!
BWUAHAHAHAAA!!!
Ours shall be evil and menacing laughing!
Ow. I think I hurt myself. XP

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Hehehe. AHAHAHAHAAA! BWUAHAHAHAAA!!! Ours shall be evil and menacing laughing! Ow. I think I hurt myself. XP I'm a little bit scared now... actually, scratch the 'little bit'... I'm scared  Haha, nha, seriously, it's great to see some baddies come to life. As long as we were heading towards the reunion we were fine without any evil folk around, but once the Lass is back it should be great to have someone to harrass the crew just a tiny bit. ;D And awesome to know you two are plotting on how to have Cadius and Dima work together. Should be much more fun for you two in regards of playing as well. edit: Almost forgot to say that: Aw, alright. I didn't know that (actually I didn't know you could set an alert at all *fail*). In this case, yeah, I agree, it would not only be superfluous but also kind of intrusive maybe to send an e-mail. @teti: Sure, you can use the idea in any way you want. Aw, and don't you worry. I guess with all the plotting going on these days it's no wonder things start to get confusing. Hah, really, when we were starting to ponder about the other thing (you know which) I never anticipated such plotting like this here to come to life at the same time. That's cool. ;D Anyway, don't underestimate yourself so much, dear. You got some great ideas and details after all are something for when something is agreed on. So don't you worry about that part yet. And as for being inspired by other stories and such: hey, most of us are. Some are inspired by real life, others by legends they heard of or whatever. There's nothing bad about it I think. As long as you take that and create something new from it, it's all fine. Haha, and well yeah, I guess it'll take long to play it out indeed. After all we've been working on the reunion for three years now. LOL, I don't even want to think about how long a real plot will take us to write out. xD xD xD As for the name thing... well, actually I didn't necessarily mean the actual meaning of names. But more like the effort you put into choosing it. For example, if I pick a name for a figure or an animal I think thoroughly about it and try to find the one that just feels right. And that's the meaningful thing already. A name can carry love and hate, regardless of the literal meaning. Anyhow, thanx for liking Maea's name. I was searching for one that would be similar to Mala, found that one, knew it was gonna be the one; and it just so happened to have an utterly perfect literal meaning as well. ;D Concerning Scratch's plans though... I'm not even sure if he had a detailed one yet. I know he had some nifty ideas but don't think he shared any of them with anyone yet. With Rumi's plans things might be different tho. I'm not sure but it might be Nili knows a thing or two about them. Although I fear Rumi wanted to make it be a surprise for everyone. Anyhow, I understand well that you don't want to spoil her plans, but quite honestly I think she wouldn't mind. Plus, after all, confronting Bryn and the crew with a knowledge like that appears to be rather interesting indeed. It will put all their loyalties to the test, as it will Bryn's confidence in herself and the good she carries within. At the same time should it be interesting for Dima to find out (I don't know, has she been watching the crew like Rumina and Turok did, or does she rather act like Taryn? Because quite frankly I would think it to be fascinating to have Dima only find out about her second niece still being alive when she's just about to attack the crew. ). Anyway, of course you could always try and ask Nili whether she knows anything of Rumi's plans and if she does you may try and think of a plan that would not spoil the same. Still, like I said, I don't think you should limit yourself like that. Only because we might reveal Bryn's past using Dima instead of Rumi doesn't mean that we have forgotten about Electra after all. It's just the play we keep going, and nothing more. Aww, and sure, do some brainstorming with Ash. I'm sure you two will come up with awesome ideas as to how to trouble the crew. ;D |

@ Ash,Be afraid. Be very afraid. Hehehe. AHAHAHAHAAA! BWUAHAHAHAAA!!! Ours shall be evil and menacing laughing! Ow. I think I hurt myself. XP YAYYYYY you Ash ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D @doubs, ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D the pleasure is all ours ;D ;D ;D  and did you say a little bit ? *evil grin* ;D ;D ;D well we'll see about that ;D ;D that's what i'm afraid of,,, if only i can think about something new of the inspired idea but thanks for your encouraging words haha, real life has good effect on this issue,,, next month i'll be in uni and exams starts from the third week in this uni things will be somehow complicating,,, and your exams also,,, it's the real life,, i think i got what you meant about the names ,,, yeah it's what you felt about the name yourself and the chara, about Maea, well even if you don't the real meaning but somehow you can figure it out,,, you can feel the motherhood in the name, as for Mala,,, i always thought she told Sinbad that because it's very similar to mama and she was desiring/wishing she could hear him call her by this Yeah about Scratch ,,, in this case i wonder he'd like some ideas of mine i told you before ;D how bad that he left before letting me introduce it to him,,, may be that would have changed his mind and he stayed ;D ;D really she wouldn't, hope so,, well in this case we may apply the plan concerning Bryn,, about how she is watching the crew, to be honest i still didn't think about it yet,, don't know about yet about her finding out her niece in the moment of the attack,,, well that's exactly what i meant that's why she'll be so happy from this surprise,,, but if she used the same method of Turok and Rumi, well we may say that during S2 she was way to busy in acting her plan (step 1,2 & 3) then after cursing the prince now she headed her attention back to Sinbad,,,, after the confrontation and Bryn refuse to join her she goes back to her palace and try to discover what happened to her niece in the past,, that's how she knows that Sinbad saved her live. and all what you said about Bryn and the crew is what i meant too well in this case i may take Nili opinion about Bryn part, it's not essential to tell me about Rumi plan,, but as she already know something about it we'll ask her opinion on the whole idea by that no one will discover about Rumi surprise And no of course we never forget about Electra -i wished i met her, still wish to meet her- may she'll make us a real surprise and show up soon,,, who knows mmm we'll try to make something that you'll all like,, as much as we can

Just curious, I'm thinking about doing another character, quite a bad one. A bounty hunter, human and she's not exactly the friendliest of sorts. I'm already thinking of using Rose Leslie for her.
Just really pondering here.

@ Thea: Wow, a bounty hunter you say? Who'd she be after you think? *curious* Sounds intriguing. Hah, not long ago this forum had been deserted of baddies and now we seem to get a whole armada of brand new evil characters. Awesome. ;D Oh, and welcome back, Thea!!!! @ Teti: I said "scratch that" actually. I'm frightened enough of all those baddies that are being invented these days, and very glad that it's not me who has to take up with them. ;D ;D ;D ;D Aw, but you are aware that with adapting such ideas, mixing them and mainly through interaction with the other players and characters in this play you are creating something new? So trust me when I say you'll be fine. Plus, you can always brainstorm on a plan with someone else if you fear you're importing too much from the original. Yeah, it's real life indeed. And it's also the reason why this play is moving on in slow-motion. Lol. ;D ;D ;D True that. And nice idea about Mala as a name there. :3 I must confess such thought didn't occur to me till now because Doubar called her Mala also. So I reckoned "Mala" as a name must have been used by him already but cannot be her official name because I trust he told Sinbad that one. Ergo "Mala" had to be a nick name... well, and the rest is history. ;D Aw, I could imagine he would quite have liked the idea. And it would have been very interesting for you to play with him, too. He was a marvellous Scratch, really! Awww, I was hoping for that. Because it sounds like a fascinating scene to take place. With Dima attacking the crew and suddenly realizing that the brunette young sorceress is in fact the niece she had believed to be lost/dead. And well yeah, you can ask Nili. I'm not sure though if Rumi really told her of her plans though I believe that back then we ran all plot-ideas past the captain so yeah. That would be lovely! She was (and presumably still is <3 ) a great person to be around. So very talented and creative. I like to think that she just organized her life anew and kinda gave up on the fandom. Main thing is she's fine (which I seriously hope she is) and maybe, yeah, one day she'll stop by again. I'm sure you two will. |

and while searching through different names i got confused and can't take decision 
). I guess my personal favourite from these few would be Medora, but that might just be me. And in any case I only had a look at names with the letters A, B, C, M, S and T anyway (as can be guessed xP ) so maybe I'll come up with more sometime later.
