Stinky_ogre Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I've been working on the stories for these two, but they're pretty much in the pre-planning stages. I don't really even have names yet. Anyway first: Eddie Human Neutral Good Necromancer Bio: Eddie was part of a group of adventurers who met their doom in an encounter with a dragon. He believes that by raising the dead through necromancy, he can help them finish their last wishes. Grumish Half-Ogre True Netural Barbarian Bio: Eh, I haven't put much thought into it. He's gonna be a thug pretty much, though he has an opinion, and voices it, although he doesn't quite have the whole "intelligence" thing down yet. Link to comment
jester Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I know I am a pest on this, but the names seem not so impressive to me. First one because of resemblance to the OTHER Eddie and isn't Gruumsh the main god of orcs?? Just my two cents. Link to comment
Stinky_ogre Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 Aye, I'm not good at names. At all. In fact, I'm begging for better names. All of my names happen to be pillaged from movies, video games, etc. Grumish was some name that sounded familiar. Now I know why. Link to comment
Galactygon Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 What does this have to do with LoI? -Galactygon Link to comment
Galactygon Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Oh never mind. I found a post saying that Stinky_Ogre has joined the LoI team. -Galactygon Link to comment
Tameon the Dragoon Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Could you shed more light on "Eddie" for me? I might be able to help you think of a name if I knew more about him. As for "Grumish", I'm not good with names for Half-Orges, half-orcs and other assorted burly folk. Link to comment
Stinky_ogre Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Eddie's a fairly laid back necromancer. He believes that raising their bodies allows them to gain their last bit of revenge. He's prone to rambling and incoherent sentences. He talks himself into circles. He also has a strong sense of loyalty. Link to comment
Andyr Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Oh never mind. I found a post saying that Stinky_Ogre has joined the LoI team. -Galactygon I think we said that if he/she comes up with a good NPC we'd not be averse to including it, yeah. Link to comment
Stinky_ogre Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 I'm a guy. I've got a banter between the necromancer and Jaheira somewhere on my computer, but I forgot where I saved it, and in what format I saved it in. I oculd PM it to you, if you want. And if I can find it. Link to comment
Andyr Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Sure, posting things in this thread would be fine. Link to comment
BigRob Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 A possible alternate name for our half-ogre friend: Thoguk. Anything guttural works well for orcs, ogres, goblins etc. I also agree that Eddie needs a name-swap, just because of Edwin (unless you want to make that a big thing for the NPC). The idea of a good necromancer, so rarely used in stories, interests me a lot. I await further developments.... Link to comment
Tameon the Dragoon Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Maybe a chance for the necromancer to involve himself to much with necromancey? You know, kinda get too into the whole "control over life" thing. Errr...I'm not making too much sense, am I (not too suprising)? Well...anyone ever play Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne? It would kinda be like the Blood Mages of the Human Alliance. Eddie starts out being a necromancer for a good cause, but then kinda goes wild with it! I dunno...I was just thinking it be sorta neat... What do you guys think? Oh...the names...uhhh...should I PM the ideas to you, Stinky_ogre? Link to comment
Stinky_ogre Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 This is a dialogue I wrote between Reywind (The NPC formerly known as Eddie) and Jaheira. Jaheira: You... necromancer. You are an abomination against nature. Reywind: Huh? What do you mean? Jaheira: What do I mean? I mean that you desecrate nature when you bring the dead back to life. No... it's not even life. You manipulate them to achieve your own ends. Reywind: Hey, keep your greaves on. I don't know what got up your tunic, but I'm not a bad guy. I definately don't manipulate nature. I'm simply fulfilling their lives. Jaheira: You rob them of the rest they deserve! I hardly call that fulfillment! Reywind: Hey, do you think they *want* to die? If you haven't noticed, the only people I bring back are those who die on the battlefield. They died fighting. I bring them back to achieve whatever they were fighting for. Jaheira: Nameless people. You assume that's what they want. Your actions upset the balance itself. Reywind: Do I speak for them? Tell me, my friends planned to kill a dragon for many years. We finally felt we were strong enough, and attacked. When they died, there was nothing I could do. We had no money, not even in our town. We couldn't afford a priest. My friends were dead forever. All I did was give their bodies a second chance. Jaheira: You used your friends corpses to pursue your own ends? Reywind: No. My friends wanted to kill the dragon. I tried to give them a second chance. Jaheira: And you took the treasure when it died, I suppose. Reywind: Uh, heh. No, even after I raised them, the dragon was too powerful. I suppose it let me live as a warning, or something. I wonder if I could kill it now. I hear <Charname> has seen his/her fair share of dragons. Think He/She would want to help me? Jaheira: You're scum. Reywind: Thanks. And Tameon, yeah, just PM me the names. Link to comment
BigRob Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 He's certainly comfortable with his profession. Link to comment
Corradun Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I like him and I like the name Reywind too. Keep up the good work! Link to comment
