(08-19-2013, 07:13 PM)Virgil Wrote: Character name: Virgil Manentyv
Character is Miqo'te, though he was given his name by his godparents, a Hyur male and a Roegadyn female.
Virgil is in reference (OOC) to the poet Virgil, who wrote the Aeneid and several other great works. In character, Virgil is reference to a similar figure, also a Hyur, who lived during the Second Astral Era.
Manentyv, "Moon Thief" in the Roegadyn tongue, has a double meaning. It speaks of his father, the Seeker who stole the Keeper's heart, and the mother, the Keeper who stole lavish gifts in order to propose to the Seeker male.
As much as I'm leery of the cliche behind the name "Virgil", I do like the story you've modeled for your character around it, especially if you take the effort to include subtle references in your character's mannerisms and such. I really like the last name and the meaning behind it.
I'd give it an 8/10, with just a couple points shaved off because of the cliche nature of a name like "Virgil".
I know I already posted in here, but I thought I'd toss in the name of another character I'm building up:
Sah'ot Kith
Keeper miqo'te, poacher and former undercover spy for the Garlean front in the Shroud, who was nearly exposed before a certain Agency stepped in and... ahem, cleaned things up for her. She now works within the top tier of this Agency, continuing her information gathering efforts in the Shroud and Gridania.
