Forum:Who wants cameos in Avian Hunt??

Before I ask you what exactly I need, let met explain how the characters in Avian Hunt work. Avian Hunt is a turn-based strategy game that is centered around vehicular combat. In the first part of the player's turn, the player would build forces, move squadrons (groups of individual units who enter combat together), and trade, and then in the second part the player plays as one of his pilots in a 3D flight shooter and battle enemy units alongside the other members of your squadron.

Now, Avian Hunt is a game that encourages a player to be individualistic about his units. Each pilot or gunner is given a randomly generated name (which can be changed by the player) and each has a distinct personality that determines the sort of chat phrases that the character might say in certain combat situations. The player can create his own characters in a character creator game mode, in which he picks out a portrait, a name, personalities, starting experience, and morale. This mode is meant to allow personalized battles to be staged in player-generated scenarios.

So now that I overviewed how this will all work, I'd like to make a request. I mentioned above that the names of characters are randomly generated. A first name and last name is selected to create a random new character when a potential recruit is discovered. To avoid duplicate names, I would like to have a wide variety of different first and last names to choose from, so it will be highly unlikely to get accidental duplicate names (or too many characters from the same family). In Avian Hunt, some battles will have armies of several hundred units, perhaps even a thousand. I currently have 45 first names and 45 last names, most of them supplied by I really love yoda, which makes a total of 45*45 possible combinations, or 2025. I'd like to have at least 5000 possible combinations, which means I need at least fifteen more first and last names.

So here's my idea: We on Star Wars Fanon are rather good with coming up with names. We do it all the time in our articles. What if a few authors here posted on this forum the names of their fanon characters that they would like to see in Avian Hunt? This would allow me to have what I need to get the random character generation script to function, and also let users of Star Wars Fanon have a little bit of their own fanon be put into this game. All I need are names, first and last, to throw into the dice roll. Theoretically, I could have as many names as I can come up with; that part of the script is easy, so you don't need to pick and choose which of your characters' names would be absolutely best for Avian Hunt. I'd like original, non-canon names (so no Kenobi Solo Clan Fetts - sorry NKSCF) for Avian Hunt, and it is rather convenient that I'm at the best place for that. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 02:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
