Abyssal Name Revisited!

[Persell]

Okay- things are moving along as planned.  I now have a Solar PC that has accepted the Black Exaltation.  Now I need a new name.  I was hoping the folks here would be willing to help me out.


The PC is a northerner, dawn caste Hunter/nomad type who actually behaves like a bit of a Dawn/Night mix.  He accepted the Black Exaltation as a way to garner the power to defeat the Bull of the North and stop his conquest of the Haslanti League.


Any suggestions for a suitable name?  I’m actually leaning toward a longer name if possible- one that highlights his betrayal of the UCS and the like.


Any help?


Danke!

'Black Betrayer of the Shining North'?


or replace 'Betrayer' with 'Destroyer'.

[Hanat-Osul]

"Quisling" is a nice, archaic word that means traitor or betrayer...

I try, Forn.  Seriously, I try REALLY HARD to come up with good words.  Too hard, some (keep your mouth shut, Gustav) would argue...

 

[Forn Clakes]

Then slap them down if they pipe up

... though it's not that archaic, and a bit too modern history-specific for my taste.


Vidkun Quisling was a norwegian politician who was Minister of Defense before the second world war. He fell for the nazi-ideology BS, and actually proposed a german invasion of Norway to the nazis.


When Nazi-Germany invaded, he declared himself prime minister and ordered the norwegian armed forces to lay down their arms (with the opposite effect).


Since then 'Quisling' became a derogatory term, meaning traitor or collaborator.

That's what my Word-A-Day calendar told me..!  Bad-ass that you know this.


Still, it's a bad-ass word.  And how many Exalted players are going to know the context of the word?  Or rather, how many knew before we started discussing it in a public setting?

I bet there's a much higher awareness of it amongst Europeans.

Not really a long one, but I like The Sun's Triumphant Traitor.


...or something.

... I'm swedish, and around here it's common knowledge, and part of our general education (no surprise there   ). I presume, as Stillborn says, that this is pretty common knowledge down in mid-Europe as well.


But if it's exotic enough for you, go for it!


cheers

Yep we know all about Quislings here in the UK.  At least us studly intellectuals do. :lol:

... for some reason, it just doesn't feel bad-ass to me. At first I thought it was just the proximity to the origin of the word, but suddenly it hit my why it just doesn't work for me... it's because of another (similar) swedish word:


kvissling


... kvissling is pronounced the same as Quisling (in swedish). Kvissling is slang for zit. Thus, not a very fear-inciting word to me  :lol:.

 

[Hanat-Osul]

Well, damn.


"Apostate" is pretty good...

As far as Abyssal names go, I'm always partial to the one I came up with for the Moonshadow caste that I included in my old DB campaign.


Loquacious Advocate of Annihilation.


'Cause, really, what's scarier than a nihilist who makes sense and sounds reasonable?

I don't know. I make sense and sound reasonable, don't I? What's scary about me?

You get props for "Loquacious."


Good title.

How about Feverent  Child of the Sunless Lands?

 

[Hanat-Osul]

Replace "Child" with something a little odder, and I'd say you have a winner.

 

[malhimweaver]

Feverent Scion of the Sunless Lands?

 

[Hanat-Osul]

BINGO.
