I think the most annoying person I met is some FOmarl on GC named Blue. Heh its funny she's all stuck up and thinks she knows alot. A lot of people *act* like they like her and are her friends, then when she leaves everyone makes fun of her. Its great. She thinks she's special cause she has a keyboard. heh. Soon I'll have mine the 27th of Dec. then she won't be so "special"

I don't think its possible to create an "unoriginal" character, because of the number of ways to make one is limited. But the names I can understand. theres a million names out there and you choose common names like a DBZ or Sailor moon name? come on now. Enough with your Final Fantasy names and move on.

I'll say it and be damned...

I hate DBZ/GT/XYZ characters and their namer because a number of people that like the show are total n00b chat speaking illiterates. I see it all the time. And the people behind these character names have been n00bers, cheaters, theifs...I trust no on with DBZ names...

(Heck the guy that gave me my Needles before I even knew cheating/n00bing was a problem was like Gohan_Z or something..Go- something after it...)

As for other characters, I hate it when they have Sephiroth and it's a dude with white hair, a huge sword and black outfit >_<. Like the 50 million Nei's and Nei Thirds out there...

If you look original then I accept you as original, but if your sporting white hair and black outfit, don't expect me to take you seriously...

Heck Koujiro isn't an original name...though I DOUBT anybody could guess WHICH Koujiro I am in refrence too since the Musashi Koujiro legend is HUGE. Most people will say Pokemon and they would be ALL wrong...

(And yes I DO want a Musashi just so I can Koujiro running around saying:
I am Koujiro and THIS *draws sword* is Musashi!
)
I didn't even know one existed...I just wonder if there's a Koujiro sword...that'd be too funny...I am Koujiro and..uhm..this is my weapon...Kojirou!

Thoughts on the originality thing:

The name for me doesn't matter as much as the way a person plays. Yes, ff/dbz names aren't original, and any older/hardcore gamers will probably bristle at seeing them. That in itself is more of a snobbery thing: I'm not like those dbz kiddies, I'm not a toonami whore, etc. But even the lamest name becomes instantly memorable if the player takes time to think of his team and care for others, and ripping into noobs because of their name wont help them become such. The GC pso community is way too small to alienate people based on something as superficial as a name.

On the profanity names, i do agree that is a problem though. Its one thing to be unoriginal, its another to be actively offensive. There's not much to do there though except not play with them, or pick such.
