I wanted to play as a basic Imperial Soldier, just the nameless, faceless rank and file type without some flashy name or title. To that effect my main character's name is "An Imperial Legionary", a heavy Imperial armor wearer with one hander and shield.

my characters name is damage
i just wanted a clean name, nothing special
i also claimed the names tank / heal / help

I wanted to play an argonian caster, someone quiet and instrospective. (I'm a roleplayer in RL so out of habit I always make up a quick outline in my head, personality and goals while making a char). So I named her Still waters. Seemed fitting. Made her harmless looking,small, blueish with no horns.

A few days layer while exploring stonefalls with her I stumble into....

Still-water's camp *facepalm*

I was shocked!! Apparently this argonian already exists and has a storyline! Its a complete coincidence, how crazy is that. Perhaps I somehow remembered it from beta but I don't recall visiting stonefalls then. I've been playing her since day 1 but every day I get tempted to reroll her just because of that. Feels like I just copied that story NPC. So now I regret the name.

But it is rather funny to have people ask in zone where the anchor is, and answering seriously

<Still waters> just west of my camp.

I have another argonian called simply Liyo because that's the name and race I've played in ES since their very first title arena. She's in the DC because well I wanted to try all of the alliances. I play her with my husband mostly, who's a khajiit. That way neither or our races technically belong there. We argue like the odd couple that we are (your fur stinks when wet! Oh yeah well your earring looks stupid!)and just generally have fun. Full disclosure: I met my husband in EQ1. He was playing a cat and I was a, yep, lizard. Our chars hated each other and bickered constantly. We eventually met in RL and ... got married So we made these chars to relive those days a bit.

I have a bosmer called Lioslinn in the EP faction, who defected for rp reasons that I won't bore you with here

Also have a dunmer called Ricus Noscere. A young academic from a noble family and feels entitled to everything but is bitter with how his life turned out. Pretty usual dark elf background ricus just sounded dunmer like and noscere is Latin for knowledge.

I have another argonian named ifrinn, which is Gaelic for hell. She's a darker inclined summoner who will go to any lengths to secure her peoples place in the world. Intelligent, xenophobic and arrogant. Not very argonian sounding but meh. I love playing summoners.

I like playing lizards because after 20+ years of tabletop rp of elves dwarves etc one craves some originality =p

I have 3 more chars with Gaelic or mythology inspired names , high elf, nord and orc that I haven't really developed yet.

All of my chars are female as I am except the dunmer heh

Now if only I could decide on a main...

My Bosmer is called Asdedas Adornale ..

... because it's looks a bit elf-y and it describes his normal physical state: As dead as a door nail.

I named my Templar Moistylotion; since it's very difficult to play if you just put lotion on your hands.

Jar'eed: Khajiit DK, I thought Jared sounded like a down to earth name for a knight, added an apostrophe for the Khajiit effect.
Broad-Tail: Argonian Templar, because he is Argonian.
Number Twelve: Breton Sorc, because this one is my experiment.
Valoran Sentinel: Dunmer NB, inspried by the house from Morrowind.
Carto Grapher: Mule alt for my maps and motifs
Mckitten: My girlfriends Khajiit lol.

My main, nord templar healer is called Kaia Linnea. I have used Kaia in many games I've played but someone had robbed it off of me even tho I logged in 5 day early access before it should've even started >.< (early access was early whooop). Linnea is a very old Finnish girl name, and I tend to like those for the looks and for the reason that I am finnish and usually always play female characters
My favorite alt, high elf sorc dps/healer is called Ruusu. Again it's a Finnish girl name but also means 'rose' in English.
