Name The Woodsman!
« on: March 24, 2008, 12:47:00 am »

Okay, for those of you who have been following along with what little of "the Woodsman" there is to follow along with, you may notice he hasn't mentioned his name.  This is because his name is "Whipping Machineblock".  Not very heroic, tragic, interesting, or even woodsy, now is it?

Here's the deal.  I recently picked up the lovely primed-and-packaged dwarf companion .10, and I now have the ability to change this blighter's name.


Thing is, I don't know what to call him.  That's where you come in.

The name should be in dwarven, should not relate to you, and should fit in with the overall atmosphere of what this guy's going through, although not too much.  After all, it's not like he was *made* to get lost in the woods, now was he?...  

You want a reward?  He's going to casually slip in his name at some point later on in the story when he's introducing himself to someone.  There's your bloody reward.  The winning name will not be stated until that part of the story comes up, and it may not even be one of the suggested names.  I just need something cooler to call this guy, and I want help with it.  If the help provided is simply inspiration and not a full product, that's perfectly fine by me.  Hell, it's better by me, because I won't feel like I'm ripping someone off.

If I come up with something on my own, which was not inspired by anything in this thread, I will write a notification here, so as to avoid post-decision entries.

PTTG??

"Urist Axebeard"
No more dwarven name than that!

No, that's not real serious, I guess...

"Ironwhispered" is a little more serious.

EEE LIVEEEEES!!  :D   :D   :D

As for the name... Thoreau? I suppose that's woodsy enough. As for the rest of his name, I'd almost dare to say "Ironblood", but no, that remains to be seen.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.
