Ares
Ar-res
Ares is the name of the ancient Greek god of war, which is quite a fitting moniker for the first Dark Angel of Hell, don't you think?

Cecily 'Red' Chrissolm
Seh-silly Red Kris-solm
Both Cecily and Chrissolm are nice, ordinary names I just happen to like a lot. Red's character adopted her nickname Red rather than use her normal name, and gained it because of her bright red hair colouring.

Scorn D'argent
S-corn Dar-jon
Scorn means malice, which is ironic, considering Scorn's carefree nature. D'argent is French for silver, which is both a reference to her aristocratic past, her French background and her long silver hair.

Tethys and Dione Thorizas
Teh-this Die-own
Both Tethys and Dione are names of Saturn's moons. Thorizas is explained elsewhere.

Thornada
Thorn-arda
The 'Thorn' part of Thornada clearly comes from the character 'Thorn'. 'Ada', is a variation of 'harder'. Thornada as a whole, also sounds a little like tornado, which has destructive, uncontrollable power very similar to Thornada.

Allen Foehn
Al-en Fay-n
Allen is an ordinary name. Foehn is a type of warm, strong, down-slope wind. It does not have much connection to Allen, really. I just liked the word.

Adrienne Tonnerre
Ay-dree-en Ton-air
Adrienne is a song by The Calling that I named her after. Tonnerre is a bit of a no-brainer, as it is the French word for thunder. She's a Lightning Spirit, so thunder… lightning. Yeah.

Laurenza Windsong Rendemal
Lauren-za Wind-song Rarn-der-marl
Laurenza is simply my name +za. See, there's really nothing to these names. Windsong… I don't know. I put two words together that sounded good. Rendemal is a little more complicated, it's a misspelling of three French words: règne de mal, meaning 'reign of evil.' She's the Dark Queen, so that's pretty appropriate. I dropped a few letters and the accent so it was easier on the tongue.

Li Ryong Rendemal
Lee Ree-ong Rarn-der-marl
Li is an abbreviation of my brother's name. Ryong is Chinese, meaning 'dragon.' I think. Don't quote me on that. I've already covered the last name.

Lierlo Gabriel D'lor
Lee-air-low Ga-bri-el Der-loar
Lierlo I think was the result of the random placement of vowels and consonants together. Woo. Gabriel of course is a real name and the name of an Archangel, but that doesn't really have much relevance. D'lor is another one of my famous French misspellings, from de l'or, meaning 'of gold.' Gold is the Luneblanche forehead symbol colour… so again, very unimaginative naming. I moved the apostrophe and dropped the 'e' because I could.

Apathy Ververte
A-path-ee Vair-vair-tay
As Thorn quite rightly said, Apathy means to not care. It sort of fits Lierlo's Cielnoir side because he doesn't seem to care much, well, not about the well-being of others or the castle at least. Ververte is once again a misspelling from the wonderful language of French, ver vert meaning 'green worm.' Green worm… snake… Cywyrm. See, it's really obvious once you know.

Siun D'lor
See-un Der-loar
Siun is the crowning glory of unimaginative names, well, next to Laurenza… He's a Fire Spirit, so his name is Sun + an 'i.' Heh. I've already covered the last name.

Kujata Alexander Greyfare
Koo-jar-ta Al-ecks-ander Gray-fair
Kujata as you may have read a million times elsewhere on the website is a giant bull monster from mythology. Why not name a character after it? Alexander is my brother's middle name and Greyfare is just two words I put together to make a nice-sounding last name.

Vixen Gospel
Vicks-en Gos-pell
A close contender for most unimaginative name, as Vixen is a vixen, a female fox. Gospel because of the holy connections as she is a White Mage.

Cielnoir
See-el-noir
Simple French this one, ciel noir, meaning 'black sky.'

Luneblanche
Lunar-blanche
I think this one's a French misspelling too. I have a feeling lune (meaning 'moon') is masculine, but blanche (meaning 'white) is feminine. I just thought Luneblanche sounded better than Luneblanc.

Kitzie Malone
Kit-zee Ma-lone
I should thank the French language for a lot of my names. I found Kitzie's name in a French textbook. Malone is just an ordinary name.

Lahrne Arei Thorizas
Lah-n Are-ay Thor-is-are
This one is great. I had my name stuck on my tech folder from cut out magazine letters. From rearranging them, we made the names 'Lahrne Arei.' Thorizas is explained elsewhere.

Faunus
Four-nus
I can't really remember this one. I think Faunus is a god of forests in some ancient language… Latin, maybe? What I do remember is I wanted to call him Morpheus, after the god of dreams, but I'll be damned if make connections between this and The Matrix. Originally, this guy was going to be called Aruun, but if you're familiar with AS you'll know I used the name elsewhere.

Galesse
Gal-ess
Believe it or not, Galesse's name is derived from the word 'grace.' She's a holy woman, so grace is a good word to relate her to.

Jadarthfeyr Sayemond
Jad-arth-fare Say-eh-mond
This bizarre name was a joint effort between the two of us. At 3am in the morning. No wonder it came out so weird.

Castle Medra
Cas-ul Meh-drah
The Castle is a very Magickal building with an infinite number of rooms and sparkling walls, so I thought that it sounded like something from a dream. Medra, if you notice, is an anagram of 'dream.'

Loliusin Hollow
Low-leeoo-sin Holl-oh
The forest's name is also an anagram, this time from 'illusion.'

Dalimoor
Dalee-more
You're not going to believe this one. I took the base word from 'Dartmoor' which is a National Park. National Parks are areas of protected nature and so is Dalimoor. (Divine Protection, Malaphaescite, etc.) 'Dali' comes from the artist Salvador Dali, who of course was a surrealist painter. I used this because I was continuing the 'dream world' theme for the names of Dalimoor

Dalin
Dal-in
'Dali' + N. Simple as that. It annoyed me, however, to discover that FFIX had a village of a similar title, after I had spent so much time coming up with the word Dalimoor and found I couldn't use 'Dali' as its main village. Damn you, Square-Enix!

Palamor
Pal-ah-more
Yep, it's just Dalimoor with a slighly different start.

Fidea
Fi-day-uh
The town of love, Fidea, is derived from the word 'fidelity.' Fidelity (faithfulness) is what a relationship should be built on, so it seemed like a good choice of base word for the name.

Rahgale
Like Lierlo/Apathy said, 'gale' because it's a windy town. 'Rah' because… I needed a prefix so it wasn't just 'gale.' *Shrug.*

St. Mangia
Saint Man-gee-ah
The papal state is named after a saint because it's a holy town. 'Mangia' is a mixture of the two words 'Mana' and 'Magick' to represent the Magick quarter of the town.

Wyndai Temple
Win-die Tem-pul
'Wind' + random suffix. That's just how good that one was!

Shiyou Glade
Shee-you Glade
I think this is Japanese again. What for... I honestly can't remember. 'Foliage' I think.

Teresa
Teh-ree-sa
This is Thornman's mother's middle name. Aw.

Calanoa
Call-ah-noah
Because Calanoa is a mainly aquatic planet, I took part of the name from 'Noah,' for obvious reasons.

Beikus
Bay-cuss
Only ever been mentioned in passing. I ought to make something of this one day. Oh? The origin? Well, it's a planet of bird people, so I started with 'Beakus' as in 'beak,' but I thought it was too obvious and made it 'Beikus.'

Camden
Cam-den
A wee joke for people in the UK. Camden town is in London and is a great place for shopping. I've only ever been there once, but I so want to go again!

Yochi/Daichi
Yo-chee/Die-chee
Both of these words are Japanese for 'earth.' Ha ha, very funny. Although I do have a feeling that one of them means 'earth' as in 'soil,' rather than the planet.

Horcia
Horse-ee-ah
Yeah, another only 'mentioned in passing' thing, but oh well. I wanted the Taro System to have a sense of size, ok? Origin? Well, it's home of centuars. Horse people. Horc-ia. Geddit?

Felax
Fee-lacks
My cat's name is Felix and Felax is a planet of cat-people. So obvious.

Etheraals
Eth-er-alls
This is derived from the word 'ethereal,' meaning 'other worldly.'

Laplongs
Lap-longs
This is taken from Lapin, the French word for 'rabbit,' and long for describing their long ears.

Modogs
Mow-dogs
This is taken from 'mole' and 'dog.'
