I need a name

[Skuda]

I've been working on a little art project lately, and I've come to a rather large bump into the road.

I've been trying to think up a general name for a group of elemental beings (gods if you will) that came from the desolate reaches of space.

my original name for them were the Cryos, but I've been having doubts.

can anyone help me with a name? or is the one I chose good enough?

[Skorpius]

Cyros? >_>

[CupOfCoffee]

Los Guapos?

...Sorry. <_<

Now I'm not sure what would be appropriate for your setting, but Latin has yet to fail me when it comes to the need for fancy names. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[XenOmega]

The Dioses?

[ai_no_usagi]

Cyros sounds good.

[RoninJoku]

You can go with a greek mythology sort of thing and do "Titans" ???

[Blitzkommando]

Cryos, sounds like the chryogenics? Big, frozen guys? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif I am not sure what would be a good name, more specific 'powers' or abilities might help though. Although, if they are from the edges of space, it is rather cold there so kryos (the Greek from which chryo is from) might make some logical sense, in either spelling.

... I think the name you have there sounds good, but if all else fails, look around for insipiration on video game cases or something. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

When coming up with names for stuff like that.. sometime it works out by putting two names together.. It works well in some cases..

Light Saber..

Starship Trooper..

Warp Drive..


But I'm sure you've probably already thought of that so..

I suggest looking up some stuff in an Encylopedia or a Dictionary for something that actually means something and then giving them that as a name..

Sometimes you find neat stuff...

Cryos does sound like frozen men.. But i guess its cool too..

Use old names of ancient civilization. In my comic S.W. I have the whole ancient heroes thing and each of the ancient heroes are named after african tribes.(Sotho, Xhosa,Ashanti, Pondo....)

[Sharkyland]

If you don't like Gods, Dieties... or however it is spelled.

[Skuda]

just a little info, the "Cryos" are god like creatures from the far reaches of space. they are sealed in a crystalic asteroid like cacoon, and are summoned to planets that have lost an elemental balance. They restore the elemental balance to a world, no matter what the cost.

each Cryos has the ability to govern, with full mastery, over their set type. There are a total of 7 elemental "Cryos" and 5 non-elemental.

this help with Ideas?

So theres 7, and some of them are elemenal and some of them aren't. Well try this, for like a Cryos of fire, have that cryos' name be Erif(fire backwards but it sounds almost like Ifrit from FF) or look up into a foreign language and find what fire means in that language and use that word.

I've already given the "cryos" seperate names. I had a long thinking about that and am happy with my choices. now I just need a general name for the group

I dunno, after you say they have been sealed in an asteroid for an indeterminant ammount of time, Cryos is looking even better. So, eleven in total, am I correct? The 7 Elementals, and 5 Non-Elemental?

Elbeka Otoivzio? Odinnadshat Realnostej? Dunno, both of those are "eleven entities" in Greek and Russian respectively. (First word in the Greek is Entity, second word of Russian is entity)

the Matti (i dunno sounds ok) oooh ooh wait i know! Naxus!

[SquashDemon]

The Sinasts...I dunno I like it

[Nisshoku]

The Vexxis.

Dunno why that, but it just sounds interesting.

[Scejntjynahl]

I suggest this name: Erythrai
