i got 12 character who make up the high council. you may recognize the names as WOT which they are. to save time i molded the characters from the WOT book and then adapted them to meet my needs and to keep them inline with my games concept. now that they are close to what i desire i need to change their names to my own creations as i dont like copying stuff from other sources (i also need to change up some of their traits).

this is where you come in, please suggest names that are serious (no joke names here) and preferably have double meanings such as in myths or far past historic references. ive used hebrew, middle eastern, and other non english names which have worked before so those would be ok also. the name must match the person and the time that person lives in (use your discretion here). i havent 100% figured what time they are all from but it should be mostly easy to figure out and shouldnt make a lot of difference (since their appearance helps determine that).

name are in order from left to right. ignore the white blotch under one of the characters, its a dove and i forgot to edit it out



The council: An order of twelve powerful people who try to control the events around the world. Rumor has it they learned of the time distortions and decided to master its power and utilize it for their own purpose. These people, spread throughout the ages, became very powerful according to the rumor. With the potential for their own power being challenge and striped away from them as the team works to solve the mystery, how will these people interfere to save their own power? How far will anyone go to maintain total control, would they destroy even time itself? Lies within lies obscure reality make a lie out of truth itself.


Mesaana: healer of body (high heal magics), sadist, snobby, talented magic, unrivaled magical abilities, over extravagant.

Demandread: Most powerful of all, cunning, dangerous, high minded goals, well prepared, often micromanages.

Ishameel: very powerful, writes books on philosophy and the study of human behavior, discernment, likes to point out the obvious, sarcastic.

Sammael: sportsman, vicious general, prideful and competitive, often blood thirsty and not the least bit merciful.

Bathmaul: wise and intelligent, hides talents well, perfectionist, jack of all trades and talents, former adventurer.

i finally sat down and rethunk most of the names for the bad guys. some of my name choices are rather unique (or rare i should say since i didnt make them up but dug out some old meaning).

the second name is the old one and the first is the new. when one name is present that indicates that the name did not change.

The council: An order of twelve powerful people who try to control the events around the world. Rumor has it they learned of the time distortions and decided to master its power and utilize it for their own purpose. These people, spread throughout the ages, became very powerful. With the potential for their own power being challenged and striped away from them, they vigorously fight for their vaunted positions. How far will anyone go to maintain total control, would they destroy even time itself? Lies within lies obscure reality and make a lie out of truth itself. Behind all the smokes screens lies the truth, but which truth is correct? Every one of them is scheming for their own power.

i home these new names with better reflect my character and also move away from the copying that i had origonaly based my game on.

Were you originally inspired by The Wheel of Time series for some of those names?
Because I recognize most of the changed names from it.

nearly never name i took was from that series. i copied damn near everything about them too. from those models i then edited them to reflect my game and ensure that the result was balanced to how i wanted them to be. much of my game was borrowed bits from other works, and ive only started changing them since last year or so to reflect my own work. some of the names still need some work though.
