True Atlantean Names
It's been years since we used Atlanteans in our games. I was curious what names people have used for Atlanteans in their own games. It will give me a list of names for NPCs, as well as suggestions for players who need them.

I originally used whatever the hell I liked, but I tend towards Hellenic names these days.

Nicky is a popular greek name. *takes this from exactly one data source, that popular 'greek wedding' movie*

Re: True Atlantean Names
Well we had two Atlantean twins in one of my games who were named Chae and Cyan. Chae was an Undead Slayer and Cyan was a Mind melter. I can't remember their last names, but they were very memorable characters. Chae went topless most of the time to take advantage of all her tats. Cyan was always up to no good, pranking the other party members.

Re: True Atlantean Names
Personally in my take on rifts I don't have true Atlanteans speaking Greek but rather Enochian.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian
At the very least a form of Sanskrit would be more appropriate given the real life myths that the proto-indo-european root race were Atlanteans.

Re: True Atlantean Names
A list of True Atlantean Clans would be sufficient. That would be more than useful. Clans, family groupings, internal politics, more on the Sunaj, all that would make a fantastic Shemarrian Nation style short sourcebook.
Re: True Atlantean Names
I like many of the Enochian angel names, thanks for that.

Re: True Atlantean Names
My group tends to pick greek names for the first name and sometime a greek name for the last name. Or we'll come up with a funky name for the clan.

I agree. it would be helpful to have more of a framework to hang your character background on. Currently it seems like we have that have clans and operate in small groups....The clans have clan crests. Would be nice to have some clan names and what crests look like.

Re: True Atlantean Names
I use Greek,s names.
I think a Sourcebook on True Atlanteans have potential.
it can give more info on Surviving Clans,both the TA,s OCC and Tattoos from Rifter can become canon.
What do you want to see in a True Atlanteans,s sourcebook?

Ah I love these threads. Haven't seen the Libson one, good catch.
Clan Bagh Dach (Argo Vinuh, of Clan Bagh-Dach, also known as Sir Galahad, a knight in Arr'thruu's Court [WB 3: England, p. 109])
Clan Archerean (Mentioned in Dimension Book 2 (Phase World) and Dimension Book 5 (Anvil Galaxy p. 92), as well as intermittantly throughout the Hammer of the Forge stories (Cassandra Acherean, an undead slayer, is a recurring character, and at some point through them there were a rather large gathering of undead slayers when they went after a vampire intelligence).
