Do you name your creations?

As a passing interest, I was wondering how many of us change the names of our creations? If you do, what do you change them to, and why? If not, is there a reason, or do you just not consider it worth the bother?

 

Personally, I always WANT to rename my creations. Unfortunately, I've noticed that when I invest in any sort of name for a creation, I worry too much about keeping them alive, sometimes actually bothering to raise attributes beyond the usual 2 intelligence. As a pro-shaper, I should not feel such attachment to my creations. If/when I play a pro-rebel, I may try investing heavily in just a few creations. For flavour.

 

Anyone else?

 

[EDIT: I should probably proofread before I hit post.]

I always name my creations. (Incidentally, I always try to keep them alive throughout the entire game, too.) On my last complete playthrough, I had Wildfyre the fyora, Frostbyte the cryoa, Foamy the roamer, Fyrestorm the drayk, Blyzzard the cryodrayk, Lyghtning the kyshakk, and Global Warming the drakon.

 

Dikiyoba only chose Global Warming because Dikiyoba was at a loss for another name that fit the pattern. Any suggestions?

Specific enemy? I can see it now...

 

A shaper sits between two pools of essence, meditating on the task he will undertake. Before him is a copper circle with gold channeling to direct the flows of energy. The shaper rises to his feet, drawing on his powers and vast knowledge, and essence begins to run from the pools up onto the circle. A massive shape begins to form, growing clearer with every passing minute. It is vaguely humanoid, but built powerfully, with toughened, leathery skin over an almost comically exaggerated skeleton. When the shaping is finished, the enormous Battle Alpha waits patiently for the orders of his master.

 

"I have a purpose for you, creation, and your name will reflect this. I will call you... Ratsquisher."

Excuse me while I take a moment and laugh hysterically over that anecdote. (pauses so I can catch my breath)

 

No creation of mine ever lasts long enough to get named. I prefer to play as a singleton; therefore, I rarely if ever have a creation at my side for long.

In my defense I would like to point out that, uhhh, well I'll just shape a few ornks and maybe gazers and hope it goes away.

 

On the other note I sometimes name my creations. If I plan on having them arund for a long time I am more likely to name them. But say if I were taking on the Titan, I would probably not take the time.

Hahahahaha! That's a good one. My pet drakon is now named Global Wyrming. Thanks, SoT!

I am obsessed with drayks. Eyebeasts are fun too :p

 

With that in mind, it's odd that I'm such a loyalist. I think my eccentric views on such things would get me exiled by the Council if I were a shaper. So I would most likely turn out like Khyryk, which would be pretty cool. wink
