You are an Appellomancer! Turn 2!
« on: August 20, 2012, 11:03:54 am »

As an Appellomancer you have the unique power of naming people and objects. Sounds boring, huh? No, for the nature of the named person or object will change depending on the name you gave it.

As an example; If you name someone "Urist Daggeruser" then that person would from now on prefer to use daggers. Naming a sword "Giantkiller" would turn it into a weapon that is effective against giants.

Of course; Your powers are limited at the moment. Which means that naming a weapon something like "Worldslayer" wouldn`t give it enough power to slay the world, but it would result in a slightly stronger weapon.

Overly long names aren`t possible at the moment. The person/object needs to be pretty close to you, and you must actually utter the name (loud and clear). The distance might increase as your powers grow. (Some examples for acceptable names: Ralf Elfhater, Urist the Weakling..) Naming someone Captain Obvious wouldn`t be possible at the moment, since captain isn`t a real name.

Also, you can only name each person/object once. Once you have named someone/something the name will stick, alltough the effects of the name will likely grow more powerful as your naming power increases. So name wisely.

Soon your journey will begin- But first you must choose your name, appellomancer.

Do I see an Oglaf fan?

And our name is Namegiver, because genericness is the new originality.

Yes, yes. A hilarious webcomic. I just didn`t want to link it, for obvious reasons. :D

Will wait a bit while the name is being decided. If you like one, +1 it.

The most likely way children could have used to find this thread is after playing DF, in which case they've already been exposed to things far worse than the worst Oglaf has to offer. ;D

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.
