How we make babies in Norrath
Oki my bro Etienne had travelled in Norrath for a long time as Etien and asked me to come have a look.

Etien
Since we wanted to play together, we gave birth to two new Norrath citizens:
  • Etienne created Argharg

    Argharg Bashbash
  • I created an an enchanteress, and since part of his recommendation was to create a name at the beginning of the alphabet for some kind of alphaloot reason, I gave birth to Acile.

    Acile Deepkiss
    The name really comes from Alice in Wonderland.
    She created the Froggies and when she turned into a princess later she got the surname Succubekiss since I wanted something that was a mixed between her tender sexy way to always kiss the froggies goodbye and some little devilish side behind.
    Surname was changed to Deepkiss the day she married Jorkald Deepshade.

  • Later with the frogs we decided to create a second set of characters to play with newbees joining the frogs.
    I decided to actually create in Norrath my Dungeons&Dragons paladin character Hubert de Balderoc.

    Balderoc (alias Hubert de Balderoc-Gandahar, alias Baldy)
    As I said, the name is the one of my main Dungeons&Dragons character. It came long ago (yep) from looking at something that would indeed be some kind of knight name, and Balderoc (literally Swing Dancing) just poped up.
    "Hubert de" added a nice frenchy-saxon-chivalry touch and he married long after Solace de Gandahar, hence making him carry an even longer name.
    Anyway we just call him Baldy.
    Although I played him initially, he is now played by my second son Patrick, who became jaleous when Rémi created Xar (see below).

  • At the end of one event with lots of alcohol, the frogs created the grosbills, and I created my own grosbill Gros.

    Gros Bhill (alias Me)
    The name grosbill (something like bigguy) is an old Dungeons and Dragons expression we shared with Alcan, Alween and Amarys.
    It was used to designate a really twinked tank character, usually boring for the others.
    He made so much sense for the Ogre characters that I pushed it by naming mine Gros, with the obvious addition of Bhill when he got his surname.
    And when Djia decided to name his grosbill Gras (fat) it became even more fun.
    Gros is by far the funniest character to play.
    Anyway Gros doesn't even really know his own name and refers to him as "Me".

  • Initially we weren't sure we would like playing the bashing grosbills, so I somehow promised to my eldest kid he could play Gros when the fun would be over.
    Since the fun just keeps on growing, I created Xaranrn for him to try the game and also for us to visit Cabilis.

    Xaranrn (alias Xar)
    Obviously enough I discovered that my kids play much better than I do and Xaranrn now has his own life.
    The name came from me behind bored trying nice funny names for Iksars that Verant kept rejecting, and since Rémi wanted to play we just hit the random name button.
    Anyway we just call him Xar.

  • Guess what? My two girls then started complaining that they also should have their princess in Norrath.
    Now since my little one is only 4 years old, she agreed in her infinite kindness to let the other use the keyboard.
    Well providing SHE keeps controlling the moves of the newly born Gabystel.

    Gabystel (alias Gaby, alias Dipapakankonjougabyzdel)
    As for the others, Gabystel was not supposed to survive more than one afternoon in Norrath.
    Well that is until I realised a 4 years old RL girl is actually so cute (even on-line), that each time she go hunting a nice 55 level druid buff her so much that she actually randomly kills mobs 4 levels higher than her.
    And also that (totally true story) since she makes Gabystel run crazy in Ak'Anon, bumping in every walls, it actually took her 6 minutes at level 1 to find her first secret door.
    Acile went into a deep depression (she never got the buffs, let along find a secret door).
    Gabystel name's come from? Well my girl Estelle wanted to call her Estelle and my girl Gabrielle (whom everybody calls Gaby here in the US) wanted to call her Gaby (strange).
    So I just had to be creative to avoid having to have one more Norrath baby, which would have definitively buried the logging time of Acile.

  • Ah and yes Patrick was not that happy with Baldy since he did not raise it from scratch. So he figured he should create Acile's nemesis: Elica.

    Elica (alias Méchante)
    Yes the name is Acile in reverse, she is Dark-Elfett since Acile is Elfett, and tank (Shadow Knight) since Acile is caster etc... My kids have way to much fun with that game...

  • Now of course the kids invited some friends home and had to create a new character to make a demo. That's the birth of Ajtah, last sibling in the family.

    Ajtah

    Anyway on the pic below you have:
  • The Rémi who controls Xaranrn and Ajtah.
  • The mom who controls the "/camp desktop" command.
  • The Patrick who controls Balderoc and Elica.
  • The Gabrielle who makes Gabystel run everywhere discovering secret doors and taking pics of Pokemons.
  • The dad who puts Gros in "/autobash" whenever he can get the PC for himself, and supposely controls Acile although it is not sure he ever got any control on her. Acile is known to have her own life.
  • The Estelle who is in charge of spending the family plats selecting a new dress for Gabystel everytime she logs.
