Warrior of Light's Name

[Demitel]

While in the original Final Fantasy, players could name their characters different names (based on a 4 character limit and upgraded to 6 in re-releases), there has never been a canonical name applied to the iconic Warrior of Light. Brian Clevinger's "Fighter McWarrior" is catchy, but too burlesque for our purposes here. The term generally used for him in Dissidia, "WoL," is a cold and impersonal acronym. Therefore, a select group of individuals have chosen to dub this shining knight with a new moniker, both abiding by the original 4-character limit and giving a personal title with which fans can more clearly identify:


Carl.


Despite being 4 characters instead of the 3 in "WoL," the name Carl is just as easy, if not easier, to type due to its singular, not multiple, use of the Shift key. It also puts a human name to a character now developed into a central protagonist of a major Final Fantasy title. You might try to refute this nomenclature, but realize that a team of Lufenian scientists has reviewed every possible outcome and, based on empirical evidence and in-depth computations, concluded that Carl is the most appropriate name for Dissidia's medieval mascot.

The case for Carl is clear. Now, all we need is for each of you to start addressing him as such. Thank you, have a wonderful day, and in the words of the great Carl, "bathe in the light."

I'm praying that this doesn't catch on. "Carl," at least for me, is evocative of the seediest kind of human there is. There's something sketchy and greasy about that name.

But I'll be damned if I haven't read a funnier proposition. +Rep to you, for both your dry sense of humor and stringent loyalty to the English language.

[smilie]

I kinda want a more unique name. There are a lot of Carls existing in the world right now. :)

[MoD]

Emo face ??

[Kite]

OMFG why is everyone ignoring my sexy name for WoL

I named him so long ago, but so few people still remember

WoL's name is Bob

Dissidia's god's name is Bob

[MoD]

no u said Bob is a god who controls Wol

[Zan]

I kinda want a more unique name. There are a lot of Carls existing in the world right now. :)

Agreed! Also, I think we can agree that Carl is an inherently 20th/21st-century name. Isn't there something a little more medieval? A little more archaic, perhaps?

Not that I have anything better to suggest, though. /swallows words

[Demitel]

Bob is a bit overdone, though. Robert might work, but it doesn't adhere to the 4-character limit.

Carl does evoke that sense of "47-year old pedo-neighbor in a wife-beater," but I feel that Dissidia's Warrior can effectively reclaim it.

[Kite]

WoL is what happened when Bob took over the body of a random nameless orphan


You think Bob is overdone, but you realize that barely anyone is named Bob. Only fake names and imaginary friends are named Bob

[MoD]

Wol is not an orphan he's mother is Cosmos and his father is Cid

[Demitel]

In that case, Bob and WoL are two different entities. Carl is the orphan child and Bob is the eternal fighting spirit.

For a more medieval touch, we could go with the Latin "Carolus," rendered into katakana as "カロラス," which would work, but in English localizations, he'd still have to be "Carl."

@MoD: I though Garland was the youth they were talking about in those reports.

[smilie]

Bob is the WoL before he became a God. :)

[Kite]

since Bob took over the mind, WoL is named Bob

oh yea just forget that or may be NOT!!

[smilie]

I think it is like How Chaos was Garland. :)

[Kite]

Chaos is Garland, Bob is WoL, and Cosmos is Bob's Waifu

[MoD]

then who's cid?

[Demitel]

since Bob took over the mind, WoL is named Bob

I hate to diverge too terribly much, but have you played "Muramasa: The Demon Blade" for the Wii? In it, one of the protagonists, Momohime, is possessed by a warrior named Jinkuro. When Jinkuro is possessing Momohime, Momohime goes by "Momohime Jinkuro." Might that be a fair enough precedent?

If it behooves you, we could call him "Carlbob."

An archetype that, surely, has nothing to do with the similarly-named supporting character from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. No, sir.

Indubitably. Any commonalities you might find between my previously presented archetype and incidental characters on late-night comedy television are purely coincidental.

Harumph. Curleh mustache.

[Kite]

@MoD: Cid is Garland's dad, it said so in FF1

Too bad, BobCarl is more than 4 =P

Plus the nameless orphan isnt named Carl, its nameless

[MoD]

oh haven't played FF1
but Bob is an okay name for now..

[smilie]

oh haven't played FF1
but Bob is an okay name for now..

Maybe we should add a letter to make it a four letter name. Would an X do? :)

[MoD]

his not a nobody -_-

[Kite]

Bob is an awesome name

[Demitel]

Carl is still player one, though.

[Zan]

Again, I respect and admire this proposition, but there's not a force on Heaven or Earth that could persuade me to abandon my usage of "Wollie" when referring to our titular character.

AGREE :D :D :D because that is my real name :p

I named him WoL/Rob is better than way.

Bob = too common and sound like childish :rolleyes:
Carl = Are you talking about South Park give me break :mad:

[Kite]

I named all of my party Bob

[smilie]

Why add a letter to Bob? Cause it reminds me of SpongeBOB whenever I see Kumo mentioning him. (Also a common name in my community)

[Zan]

"Four white mages? That'll never work."

[Aevitas]

Again, I respect and admire this proposition, but there's not a force on Heaven or Earth that could persuade me to abandon my usage of "Wollie" when referring to our titular character.

Why not spell it Wall-e? XD

Nvm I thought it was 4 letters then realized I was wrong. No sleep last night. ^^;;

[Zan]

Why not spell it Wall-e? 4 letters! =o (minus the hyphen)

I considered that, but I couldn't, mainly because 1.) it would be insipid (not to mention an act of copyright-infringement), and 2.) it abandons the "WoL" root.

I appreciate Demitel for trying to adhere to the original's character limit, but this is tradition we're talking here. I just can't give it up. Judge me if you must. :3

[smilie]

Forget the 4 character limit. We need a medieval-based name. :)

[Kite]

I didnt have 4 white mages

I had a Warrior
Black Mage
Monk
Red Mage

All named Bob

[Demitel]

I'm losing adequate footing in my argument for "Carl." Well, maybe I can appeal to a different constituency. For he or she who would normally refer to the Warrior of Light as "der Krieger des Lichts," ("KdL" - arguably worse than "WoL"), why not the indigenous Karl? It's considerably less awkward than Carl, and those with English as their primary language can continue with "WoL" or the more elementary "Bob." Are there any Deutschsprechers present to support/refute my proposition?


Edit: Charlemagne's German name is "Karl der Große." Would that be medieval enough?

The fervor with which you're pursuing this whole thing is just... impressive.

Edit: "Deutschprechers" prompted me to nostalgiagasm. It's dangerous to go alone; take this:

YouTube- Do You Speak English? - Big Train - BBC comedy

[Demitel]

This thread's continual persistence and expansion are fueled not by my unbridled fervor, but rather my unabashed ennui.

[Kite]

And your refusal to accept that his name is Bob, even though that has been his name since months ago

[Zan]

This thread's continual persistence and expansion are fueled not by my unbridled fervor, but rather my unabashed ennui.

Sounds like you need to pick up a Rubik's cube, or something.

[smilie]

@Kumo: And what was his name YEARS ago? :)

[Demitel]

Oh God, I hate Rubik's cubes.

Better yet, though, why don't I work on one of my several frequently-played, yet somehow simultaneously neglected Dissidia characters? I daresay a select few could use some polishing (or mastering a few new abilities, at least).

Even better still, I could pick up another character! Anyone who has played me can attest to the fact that I shuffle between entirely too many characters.

The world is your oyster, Demitel. Reap it as such. /scrubadvice

Yeah, f*ck Rubik's cubes, and those poindexters that can solve them blindfolded, and in under 60 seconds. That's just superfluous.

[Kite]

And that one guy that cann do it blindfolded, with his hands tied, underwater

[smilie]

And to add that they can do it with only one hand. :)

[Knocking_you_all_down]

We could call him Hikari. (Hikari=Light if I'm not mistaken.)

[Demitel]

It's really just rote memorization, though. It doesn't require any astute aptitude.

Also, to fight derailment:
You call him Bob, Kumo, and I'll call him Karl...

...with a K.


We could call him Hikari. (Hikari=Light if I'm not mistaken.)

Or "Hikaru," an actual name derivative, I think.

[smilie]

We could call him Hikari. (Hikari=Light if I'm not mistaken.)

But what we need is a medieval-based one since he looks like a knight from the medieval age. :)

[Demitel]

But what we need is a medieval-based one since he looks like a knight from the medieval age.

Then I would suggest Lucis, Lichts, Lux, or even Lēoht.

Or Karl. That's also a medieval name.

[Aevitas]

Or Shiro for "white." :) I knew a girl in university who always nicknamed herself Hikari online so my image of WoL would be forever warped if I called him that. XD

I think he has a tiny mix of Japanese style in his armor though. Those horns remind me of feudal Japanese helms. Plus there were Ninjas and Martial Artists in Final Fantasy 1.

[Zan]

Then I would suggest Lucis, Lichts, Lux, or even Lēoht.

Or Karl. That's also a medieval name.

Back to square one.

[Kite]

Bob was the first name ever invented =P

Is that medieval enough

[smilie]

To get this Over with,
Bob for the straight-to-the-point name
Hikari for the meaningful name
Karl for the alternative straight-to-the-point name (can be switch with Bob) :)

[Kite]

Bob Hikari is my only compromise

No Karl, go away

[rshadowkirby]

wasnt i the guy who said to use carl
in the tentacle name thread

[Kite]

Well the name Bob deserves representation, plus I have a thread about Bob and his awesomeness

[Demitel]

wasnt i the guy who said to use carl
in the tentacle name thread

Nah, that was me too. They rejected it for something altogether more somber, but i'ce_leonhart suggested giving it to WoL.

...so yeah, that's where this came from.

[Sephiroth]

Isn't the whole point of the Warrior of light not to have a name and throughout the story of Dissidia is that he doesn't actually belong anywhere but the world of Dissidia? and he has an Identity issue because he has no Identity.

BTW I can clearly see what your trying to do here by trying to make a comical inside joke within the forums, but I'm telling you it's not going to catch on.

[Demitel]

True, within the context of Dissidia. However, the original Final Fantasy allows players to transpose whatever name and characteristics they prefer onto the personae of the four Warriors of Light. I actually didn't name my Warrior Karl or Carl (it was "Dorian," I think, in one of the more recent remakes), but should I feel so inclined, I most certainly can. It's one of the most basic aspects of the original role-playing games.

Of course, when it pertains to his story in Dissidia, it's all irrelevant. You never know, though; he might be named Karl prior to his lapse in identity. XD

[Durzo]

It's Bob. And that's the end of it.

[Sephiroth]

You never know, though; he might be named Karl prior to his lapse in identity. XD

lol why not give him a manly name like Captain Falcon, or Chuck Norris?

[Durzo]

lol why not give him a manly name like Captain Falcon, or Chuck Norris?

Because it was decided long ago that it would be Bob.
And Bob is a manly name imo.

[Sephiroth]

I protest he is now called Laser beak

Karlbob Laser Beak Hikari Stevenson-Waldorf von Himmelstein IV?

There. Are we all in accord?

[Sephiroth]

Karlbob Laser Beak Hikari Stevenson-Waldorf von Himmelstein IV?

no Its just Laser beak and if he gets any cooler he will be promoted to Sound Wave.

Bobs name is too awesome to be comprehended by those who dont know of the legend of Bob

Now I'll be needing to fill in the blanks for the complete name of WoL.


Bob *Insert European Name* *Insert Ancient name*
*Insert Japanese name* *Insert a cool name*

European name must mean "Knight" or something like that.

Ancient name must mean "Saviour" or something like that.

Japanese name must mean "Light" or something like that.

And the cool name must be considered cool by most. :)

[Scott]

WoL -> WoLY -> Wally.

[Demitel]

Bob Schimmelritter Salvator Hikari Endymion?

...a bit long for FFI's standards (or any game, for that matter), but it works for your purposes, I suppose.

I'd prefer Weissritter than Schimmelritter. :)

[Demitel]

I'd prefer Weissritter than Schimmelritter.

Schimmelritter has the same implication (Schimmel = white horse), but I guess Weiß sounds a lot cooler. Weißritter it is, then.

[Hella-Bright]

Oh god this is as popular as the tentacle names post!

[smilie]

Schimmelritter has the same implication (Schimmel = white horse), but I guess Weiß sounds a lot cooler. Weißritter it is, then.

Weissritter means white knight as far as I know. :)

Plus, its easier to pronounce. :)

[Demitel]

Yeah, it does. "Schimmelritter" means "Knight on a shining white horse," kinda. Either fit his description, really. Just replace "horse" with "chocobo," and you've got it.

[smilie]

We need a more suitable ancient name like the ones in Shadow of the Colossus. :)

I'll change the Saviour based name to something like sentinel or guardian. :)

im just wronging why do u ppl care about his name ?

Because its obviously Bob, anyones whos been active back then would know that

Okay every1 how agrees that Wol name is BoB
say "I agree" so we can end this O_o

[i'ce_leonheart]

I may have a biased opinion on the matter since I was the one to propose the name for Carl-but I think his name should be Karl.

Also let it be known I am fully aware this matter will never end for we will never settle on a name. But if we don't, we will be bored. And let's be honest. We enjoy senseless debates. If you don't, then go read anther thread.

This kinds of debate usually ends up with "Its up to you what to use" or something like that but the fact that we want the others accept our opinion regarding this matter is what makes the discussion interesting since we try to find something to defend our opinions. :)

[Demitel]

Yeah, there's only so long that you can adequately defend a farce, though.


Despite this, however, his name is Karl.

None of the new people even know about that thread, therefore they dont know bob

[i'ce_leonheart]

Though I am a supported of Karl I must agree that forum seniority should have it's place in this discussion. If we don't then who is to say a situation like this won't happen again where someone will try to change Karl's name just because they want to.

[Kite]

Which is exactly what youre doing now -_-

Nope. I didn't know about this thread. I joined following the American/European release as I am sure many of the new members. The forum is nearing it's peak now so the time to decide is now.

That sounds fair. A poll it is. And there shall be no hard feeling based on the decision. Agreed?

Seriously. What about Bob? Karl is the true Warrior of Light. Bob is just possessing him.

[Kite]

Bob is the wol's name, and is also the name of the WoL turned god who is possessing him, theyre the same person

Create a poll if you must, but know that nothing will sway me.

Wollie.

[Kite]

I dont need to sway you, you are irreverent, for the winner will be the official new name

Yeah, you and Scott actually got overridden by our negligence. In our heated discussion over what WoL's true name is, Kumo and I kinda skipped over Wolly/Wally.

I vote for his name to be Cid since its a common name in FF and he does need a name.

[Zan]

Why is everyone so hung up on Wollie needing a name, anywho?

I mean, has anyone seen "Sword of the Stranger?" That guy was perfectly fine with nanashi; quite literally, "no name."

Not to mention, it adds an air of mystique to an already cool character.

Carl, derives from Charles. Charles came from the Germanic name Karl which meant "man." Bob is derived from Robert which came from the Germanic name Hrodebert which meant "bright fame."

despite the well reasoned arguments or the poll for his name... we still haven't come up with a "official"/ "standard"/ "agreed upon" name for WoL so I propose this,
since this is Dissidia and not just a regular forum why not have a tournament/ Adhoc battle/ etc.:
"team Bob vs team Carl/Karl"
WoL vs WoL
"I want to know my name!!!!" - WoL
equip match or no equip match, you decide
winning team gives the official name for WoL

How about Mr. Funky?

We already have a Mr Funky, and he's a good deal more serious that WoL

[mortalkid]

alright then, umm Mr. Horny? or just Horny

[Knocking_you_all_down]

I'm still calling him Hikari. >.>

[mortalkid]

I'm still calling him Hikari. >.>

Hikari sounds like a girl name O___o

[Ghurdrich]

I'm still calling him Hikari. >.>

That's too PREDICTABO

[Knocking_you_all_down]

1. It means Light, so it fits.
2. You're TOO EASY. I'LL STAIN MY HANDS WITH YOUR BLOOD.

[mortalkid]

1. It means Light, so it fits.
2. You're TOO EASY. I'LL STAIN MY HANDS WITH YOUR BLOOD.

shouldn't it be something that means Warrior of Light...instead of just Light..

[Knocking_you_all_down]

Warrior of Light represents Light, so still fits. And I'm not exactly an expert in Japanese. >.> I only know a few words...

[mortalkid]

samurai hikari?

[Knocking_you_all_down]

...No. Just no. Stop while you're behind.

[mortalkid]

...No. Just no. Stop while you're behind.

fine then, I'll just support Bob >.>

[Knocking_you_all_down]

It doesn't matter, really. I just said that I would be calling him Hikari. :D

[Kayarine]

I call him Wall. D:

And I think "warrior of light" in japanese would be "hikari no senshi". Don't take my word for it, though.

[Knocking_you_all_down]

Now Cosmos has gone talking to a Wall. XD

[codekirin]

Hikari sounds gay... a girl's name as a guy's name just never works, just no. Therefore it's Bob... last name Marley.

[Knocking_you_all_down]

You guys can call him Bob if you want. >.>

[Rissole25]

I call him Wall. D:

And I think "warrior of light" in japanese would be "hikari no senshi". Don't take my word for it, though.

I call him Wall to :D

I dunno. Bob...Bob sounds wierd for some reason, but its already been decided so my thoughts don't count

[Kite]

WoL's name now is a tribute to Bob back when he was good at dissidia, oh the memories

[Marco]

I call him Light.
No particularly reason, i just like it.

[ArgyleNinja]

Personally, I call him Kira(Japanese for Light, Warrior of Light. Come ON, people!!!). It sounds so awesome to me and my Otaku ears.

[smilie]

Kira = Light? I thought it was suppose to be Hikari? :)

[ArgyleNinja]

Really? My bad...Wait, now I remember. Kira is Shine...I think. I dunno, my Japanese skillz aren't that polished just yet.

[smilie]

What I know is Kira is used as Light's name in Death Note because Kira sounds like Killer if a japanese person say that word. :)

[Cait Sith]

wait i thought kira did mean killer O_o anyways what do i know im not japanese so correct me if im wrong.

[Kite]

the only thing kira means(and its a loose translation at that) is fine clothes =P

[Cait Sith]

fine clothes? haha guess light had style.

anyways a good name for WoL would be Taru just becaus ei like that name :3

[smilie]

It's already been decided that it will be Bob! :)

[Cait Sith]

Bob, ain't that a bit to cliche for giving someone a name?

[OkamiPT]

Hikari no Senshi

=D

[Kite]

Bob, ain't that a bit to cliche for giving someone a name?

arent you a bit too cliche to be insulting the awesomeness of the name Bob

[Cait Sith]

maybe i am .-.

[Suppi]

maybe i am .-.

Yes you are. It is and will always will be Bob.
Now let's figure out Paru's real name :3

[Katsu]

WoL's name is...

Spongebob.

[RDFMASTER]

WoL's name is...

Spongebob.

Prepare to be destroy :mad:

How dear you call The Light like that you need des-pair :eek:

[Katsu]

...Actually, the warrior in the Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls/ 20th Anniversary release had auto names given to him, those were:

Argus
Arus
Banon
Baron
Desh
Doma
Giott
Leo
Sasune
...and Zeza. Any one of those could possibly be WoL's true name.

[Kite]

nope, Its bob

[Katsu]

nope, Its bob

Says who? Square-Enix? I don't think so bro. :p

[ChrisLIX]

Luce -The Warrior of Light

Luce, a latin name meaning Light.

Four letters, c'mon people?

[Aryo]

I like Argus. Seems like a good name for him.

[Lycoris]

I went ahead and found Arus to be to my liking out of the random names.

[Fayt]

Bod? What a bad name for a hero. xD

[Aryo]

Bod? What a bad name for a hero. xD
If it were the name you know that fan fictions would be written for him just to use the pun "hot bod"

[Fayt]

If it were the name you know that fan fictions would be written for him just to use the pun "hot bod"

Well, I still think Bob is a bad name. :P

[Aryo]

Well, I still think Bob is a bad name. :P
Oh no I was agreeing with you, the internet is lousy when it comes to connotations of sentences. If anything I think the next time I play VI I'm going to name Sabin "Bod" instead :P

But back on main topic I think Argus is a great name for him, its scottish and he does wear a open kilt... well its not quite a kilt but skirt...er...fabric. A butt cape so to speak.

[Fayt]

oh ok then, lol butt cape. Argus sounds like a good name for him.

[Kite]

Why must you interfere in my conquest of the interwebz using the name Bob >.>

Dont you know that the name Bob is only effective when given to someone that it doesnt match, gawd

[Aryo]

I thought we were making fun of Bod not bob? Or am I letting some dyslexia get in my way of my memories (goes back to check post)

Nope its Bod. Bob's not to bad a name but Bod sounds like some cheesy bodywash.

digressing I think bob is a great name for a new planet, especially if its a manmade planet ;) +10 useless points to whoever gets the reference.

I don't get it. :(

[Aryo]

I don't get it. :(

Ever see the movie titan A.E.?

(sorry about taking this thread in a different direction ><)

[Kite]

OMFG why is everyone ignoring my sexy name for WoL

I named him so long ago, but so few people still remember

WoL's name is Bob

Dissidia's god's name is Bob

its been bob D=

after checking, fayt has been calling it bob as well, so it was just you

[Keftalin20Satalazz]

why is Bob in dissidia?

[Kite]

because he was chosen by dissidia's god, which by coincidence is named Bob

[Keftalin20Satalazz]

Oh... sumimasen..

http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad69/AG31196/Tekken%206%20Wallpapers%20Sigs%20Avatars%20etc/Bob.png

[Neo Bahamut]

I tried to name him Lucifer (light-bringer, get it?) but it was too long. I settled on Ladon, which doesn't make a whole assload of sense. He's a multi-headed dragon guarding golden apples?

[Proximately]

How about "Cid"?

[Fayt]

People with the name Cid are old guys or old guys who own's airships.

[533787655464]

Call him an airship then...

[Kite]

Bob > all other names

[Mirsa]

Well first of all it has to be a wierd but cool name such as everybody else in FF(Bartz, Firion, Zidane, Golbez, Sephiroth, Gabranth, etc)..I'm thinking...umm...something idk right now...xp

[Kite]

Bob .

[Mirsa]

spell it backwards....

[Proximately]

How about... "Liriod"?

[533787655464]

Call him David...

[EX-calibre]

how about Emanon (spell backwards) (-If I am right Eman means Harmony, Perfection or "Us")
I think its fair enough for a hero like him:D:D:D

[Zane the pure]

I say Lucius is a better name.

[ShadowAngel]

Bob...It's perfect XD
___________

[Arcullon]

Valgus....Estonian for the word "light"

[Kite]

Bob means light in Shutthefuckupenese

[DREW:[RotaryTuner]]

...and we resorted to using American names. Gotta think Japanese + medieval + 1987-ish name.

[533787655464]

Japaneval87 could be his username?

[DREW:[RotaryTuner]]

*finds his username on Yahoo!* I fail at this. /facepalm

[Cookies]

How about "Fighter McWarrior"?

[533787655464]

I was thinking something along the lines of "Jesus"

[ewan08]

I was thinking something along the lines of "Jesus"

I have his facebook ID :D
It's Luminous :D Or Lucifer(Light With Horns)

[Kite]

Why is it that new people just come in and try to change things that were decided months back >.>

[Xernuht]

Because it's fun.

BTW, WAAAAAAY back in this, I believe someone called him... what was it...


Karlbob Laser-Beak Hikari Stevenson-Waldorf von Himmelstein Vi Brittania IV

Ah, yes... Thank you, Suppi.

I believe this is obviously what Square intended, but, when limited to 4 chars., they flipped between (guess what?)...

Karl (heads) and Bob(tails).

The naming staff killed themselves when the coin they flipped landed on its side, and at the time, for unknown reasons, there was a one-flip-only rule in place.

Of course, Sakaguchi walked by, knocked the coin over, and it landed on Bob.

Therefore, his name is Karlbob Laser-Beak Hikari Stevenson-Waldorf von Himmelstein Vi Brittania IV, or Bob for short.

[TherathxRikku]

That's happened to me before, all those people massacred over a coin toss...tragic.

Anywho, I believe his name to be Turnip, strong and ripe.

[Neo Bahamut]

Why is it that new people just come in and try to change things that were decided months back >.>

This statement perplexes me. How can a random fan forum "decide" WoL's name?

[Xernuht]

This statement perplexes me. How can a random fan forum "decide" WoL's name?

Because WE'RE AWESOME LIKE THAT!

[Kite]

Because Im just that good

[テツヤ Kuroko]

WoL's name is RDF

[RDFMASTER]

WoL's name is RDF

:eek: nah it is not xD

We got the name already is Bob ;)

[ShineThatLight]

Sir Elmer of Fudd :P

[jcom909]

I gave him the name Zane... It sounds medieval. It's cool. And it has a ring to it.

[Mirsa]

i finally came up with a name...its Santa

[TherathxRikku]

Why is it that new people just come in and try to change things that were decided months back >.>

I was not aware that people who not cannot read were allowed to post. We must chop their eyelashes off!

[Cookies]

I was not aware that people who not cannot read were allowed to post. We must chop their eyelashes off!

LOL :D ALso I used Xerroe in my version, but I think Fighter McWarrior stands as the best name for him.

[TherathxRikku]

Or maybe we could go with [insert funny, interesting name that goes with the topic and upsets no one], I rather like it. :P

[Proximately]

How about Blob?

[Zane the pure]

I say let the best WoL mainer (Might be RDF2050) decide.

[RDFMASTER]

I say let the best WoL mainer (Might be RDF2050) decide.

Nah i am not the best WoL. There must be someone better than I ;)

Anyway his name is:What Kumo said

[Skye]

His real name is Paulo Coelho.
He was also an alchemist.

Proof:

[533787655464]

We should call him Wally or Waldo.

[ShineThatLight]

His real name is Paulo Coelho.
He was also an alchemist.

Proof:
http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/c1/c7162.jpg

Strangely enough, he's a very good author. I loved The Alchemist.

[Kite]

As silly as it may seem, some of the concepts presented in the book do reflect in Warrior of Light's character in Dissidia.

I have the Ebook if anybody is interested (and if I'm allowed to share it here.) It's a good read!

[Fixxxer]

I think that the best name for the WoL is Argus. It was one of the names for the Fighter in Final Fantasy I (PSP). It's a very good, medieval name.

[Kite]

But Bob is a name with meaning to it

[Fixxxer]

F**k Bob! Argus is a great name!

[Kite]

Bob is better.
