~DF

Already said grats over Discord, but that's really absolutely magnificent news. I wish you both the best.

Just wanted to ask if you got my mail, mate? Or did I messed up the adresses.

Joy of joys! I'm happy for you! Abject love runs wild!

YOU GO, GIRL! :D

I wish you both all the best!

COOOOONGRAAAATULATIONS!

I just got engaged.

As long as it's good or interesting you won't care what genre it gets put under.

There ya go, hope it helps :P

"You have got to be kidding," she snarled to herself, watching the zombies come to life around her. And as if fate had been waiting for her to think that things couldn't get any worse, she now had a whole bunch of metal shards lodged in her scales, and no greatsword.

Every movement hurt, and now she found herself surrounded, but she wasn't going down so easily. She still had a long reach and brute strength on her side.

With that comforting thought, she let out a bellowing roar (not unlike that of an alligator) and swung her powerful tail in a wide arc around her, the blade on her monk's spade augmenting her reach and slicing power. Hopefully she'd be able to catch at least one of the zombies with this attack, and then use the opening to escape to the next room...

Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!

From what I've been hearing, Genji's name is possibly a shoutout to non other than Hikaru Genji, the protagonist of the first known novel in the word, and Hanzo was possibly named after Hattori Hanzou Masanori, who was a famous vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the leader of the Iga ninja clan.

Going on this, it is possible to find the Kanji used for their names, and therefore their meanings:
1) Genji is 源氏. The first Kanji stands for "origin", while the second stands for "clan", so it roughly means "original clan". You can alternatively read it as "Minamoto clan".
2) Hanzou is 半蔵. The first Kanji stands for "half" (it's the same one you use to denote half-hours), while the second stands for "own, possess" but also "hide". I'd imagine "half-hidden" or "half-owned" might work.

I know several canons and fandoms... but as for type, I'm not sure there are many definable genres one could squeeze them into. But I do tend to like fantasy stuff.

I feel compelled to thank you personally for this gift. Oh my God I love it. It is perfect. In all senses. (Blue happens to be one of my favourite colours :p)

Welcome to our little corner of the internet, have an Epic Pen of Epicness.

Please have some black-hole chocolates.

Now, all questions were asked and annswered so I can only wish you a long a wonderful stay here at the madhouse.

One thing: triumvirate is spelled thusly, due to its Latin origins. Just so you know. =]

Also, your older brother wouldn't happen to go by Caliban, would he? =]

Anyway, please accept this elegant and finely-crafted starter Pokémon:

Iiiiiiiiit's Seviper!

And your starting item is:

Rotten Brain from Risk Of Rain!

Rotten Brain's a slightly odd item. Upon the holder hitting an opponent with a contact move, any Pokémon on that side of the field get hit by a Rotten Brain attack (70BP, Poison-type, Physical category) using the holder's Attack stat for the next 7 turns before being returned to the user. Now, there are obviously ways to ameliorate this or ignore it entirely, but Seviper's a 'mon that can make sterling use of it. Grab an Adamant one and Super Train it in Attack and Speed. The ability Infiltrator is also helpful, since your Rotten Brain will now ignore Light Screen, Reflect, and Aurora Veil. Now you give it Swords Dance, Aqua Tail, Sucker Punch, and Earthquake - since you get STAB from your Rotten Brain, you don't need to run it, and can instead run a boosting move. Most importantly, though: have fun. =]

I like the names - I admit I don't know the first thing about Overwatch, but I like the names in and of themselves. Alassiel springs out as a good one, as do Anórië, Ondolassë, Venehtar (as a nice bilingual reference to 'Venator', "hunter")... like I said, I like them. There's a couple that use dodgy definitions (I've discussed 'pitya' elsewhere), and I'm almost certain 'Perefea' should be 'Pertafea'... actually you've got a habit of shoving too many letters together, I think... but I like them.

Looking particularly at Úmarro, which ought to suffer from both definition-issues and over-squashing... I think it's good regardless. ^_^ 'Mara' is glossed as useful, but mostly means good, or fit for purpose... which fits a lot better, actually, since unfit can easily mean 'broken'. And the r-r linking with nyarro is just unavoidable.

And it sounds like a name, one that growls its way off the tongue.

Anyway, like I said: this is your fault. I couldn't help thinking about the people the Quenya names would be attached to. Near as I can tell, they're a Feanorian elite team who first saw action at the Dagor-nuin-Giliath. They were the ones who stopped Morgoth's forces from crossing the mountains, earning them their nickname of Orotirnor, or 'High Watchers'.

I haven't drawn all of them... but here are the first ten on your list. (In order, because I'm not cruel.)



I've tried to stay roughly faithful to the character design, while making it something that fits Middle-earth. And yes, McCree/Maraiteo has a beard - they do happen, they're just not common among younger Eldar.

"Pitya" means petty in the sense of 'small' (though frankly the Petty-dwarves were pretty petty in the other sense too); it shows up in Amrod's father-name "Pityafinwe", 'Little(st) Finwe'.

So you've basically called her Little Bigfoot. Looking at her picture, that's... surprisingly accurate. Small woman, big robot.

hS

-(n)dur literally means 'servant of', though in names it basically stands in for -(n)dil's 'friend of' when -(n)dil doesn't taste right.

Also you're using the rude name for dwarves (and in Sindarin at that - the Quenya is Naucor), the one that means 'stunted ones' (tsk!). It's far more polite to use the transliteration of their own name and call them Casari. But you didn't (XD), so you're naming him 'servant of ugly shorties'.

hS

"-(n)dur" shows up next to "-(n)dil", as a name ending. So, Naugdur hopefully means something like "the dwarfy one".

(It's a short joke.)

It also sounds really cool when you say it out loud. Angvainen. Very nice!

I found "-dur" as "servant of" in Quenya and "dark" in Sindarin, but neither seems to fit.

Thanks! I think Yavion is my favorite, since it fits so nicely. I'm glad you like Imyasta--I was most unsure about that one, I think.

Well, I had a bit of trouble with D.Va. There isn't a word for "diva" in Quenya, nor a word for "pink," so I couldn't do a direct translation or a descriptive "pink beast." But divas are generally considered to be rather petty, overbearing people, and D.Va's mech is big, so "the petty beast" seemed an alright fit. Looking back, I should have translated Hana Song instead. Hana in Korean is "one," and Song is... Song, so that gives Linderëa (though "erëa" as "one" may have been abandoned by Tolkien, but it sounds pretty so I'm keeping it).
