Abyssal Titles

[magnificentmomo]

I thought the point was that they were supposed to be long and detailed. I mean I think the beauty of making an Abyssal name is you have the huge long winded one that can be condensed into the ones that Zaramis favours. Mine just becomes Eunich, or Recompance from Beyond. I like those kinds of Dynamic names. Mine isn't the best example but you get me right?

Yes, but I think the overly windy titles are a tad ridiculous and best saved for the Neverborn who really do have long and airy names.

 

[magnificentmomo]

I can agree.

They do?


The only one I can think of is "He Who Holds in Thrall".

Yeah, Principle of Consumption's rather short name too...

Yeah, In fact the official WW wiki shows that they're anywhere from three to five words long.  This brings to mind a discussion I had when I was first introduced to Exalted and I was talking about names to my ST.  He said that, typically, the longer the name was the more of a peon the character is.  I don't know how true this is, but looking at the Neverborn name list and some of the list of gods I would say it has some ring of truth to it... however that's up to other people to decide.

Actually, I'm too believe that the shorter the title thing is a joke that started up amongst some players and as an actual matter of fact amongst others almost independently of one another. Some people, like Jakk, do the one namers and his players fear them.
