With Berrod, I wanted to take a name from a character played in a previous game. In this case, my World of Warcraft human warrior. In WoW, Berrod Armstrong was an antagonist NPC meant to be cannon fodder in a long running story arc. Not only did I end up rolling, leveling and gearing him, but at the end of the story arc he was the only one of the antagonists left, having had a change of heart somewhere in the middle of the story.Â
I grew quite fond of him, and when I looked through the races and clans for Final Fantasy, Hyur Highlanders appealed the most to me. The little lore blurb on Highlanders made me think immediately, "Hah, that's so Berrod."Â
I decided to go with that name: Berrod Armstrong. The Highlander naming conventions included several nordic sounding names, but I saw that descriptive names such as 'Armstrong' and 'Steeljaw' were also fine. It was a very neat transition, especially with him being a Pugilist.
