WagesofSin Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I notice most demons have the ending -cant to their names. Is this something enforced by RP or is it player made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iyorvin Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Imm made. If you make a name like that you'll most likely be told that 'I do not remember releasing the name xxxx from the rifts gates." Or some variation. All demons(all natural demons -no pun intended) are all renamed. Also, just because you dont' want to be called a noobie, doesn't mean this doesn't belong in the Q/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designated_Driver Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 It's also largely based on your RP. IE- My demon, Manipulant. My RP was a succubus (don't even go there, Morathi ), and was very frequently attempting to manipulate people. Hence, when I got demoned, Manipulant was born.

Goomf Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Pruriant - demon of lust. Pru = lust. Terniant - demon of terror. Ter = You get the drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crypticant Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 It was coined by my essay on Demonology, many years ago. As the first Demon, resulting demons were forged in the image of their master, Crypticant, hence, all demon name endings ended in "ant". Malignant, Miscreant, Aberrant, etc. Demons are a coalition of souls, entwined by dark magic into a single being by the creator. Whenever Crypticant would forge a demon, threads of his own being were intertwined with the other souls, and carried a distinct marking. It's a long story, but you get the gist.

Chayesh Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I would have thought that math was easy. Crypticant - First big demon daddy badass All other demons following - minor little bits of badass named after "Daddy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designated_Driver Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yes, he was. But he still would've been spawned from Papa Badass, as Chayesh put it. Thus his name still should have ended in -cant, following that logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iusedtobesomebody Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 i don't debate the logic, it's rather good. sets demons apart, and all that jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crypticant Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yeah, there have been a few demons whose names didn't end in "ant". Many of those were created by Kaogalan (Mali), during the time he and I rp'ed a power struggle for control over the demonic masses. He had his minions, forged after his own, and vice versa. The later demons not selected by either Kaogalan or myself were just made by Imms who didn't read the essay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladno Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Once had a demon shaman named Famine. Very brief character. Only had two kills, no deaths and never reached to 50 before deletion. Still, how's that for a cool name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
