[Lady Saga]

Hello fellow forumites. I am Lady Saga, and today I'd like to ask for your help in naming my future scout character.

He's gonna have a North American woods Indian sort of vibe to him, Cherokee, perhaps. If I were to guess his demeanor, I would say he's more of a peaceful hunter/gatherer type, rather than a warrior.

His "job" will be to scout locations none of my characters have been to yet. I'll be using the paper map to guide him and his horse. Chances are he'll mostly hunt moose and bunnies and peaceful sorts of wildlife. Oh, wolves, too. Maybe bears when he gets really advanced.

I tried going on some Cherokee websites, looking for some simple names. Believe it or not this is harder than it sounds. All of these websites want money, or want you to buy a book or something. Or they don't have what I'm looking for.

The best I can come up with so far is Fleeted Foot and Eagle Scout, but I wanna get more ideas. It helps to have your character's name planned out before actually creating him or her, I've found. In the past I used to start creating characters. Oops! What should I name him or her? Next thing you know I'm stuck! Naming is very important for me.

You're so awesome. Sorry if that sounds a bit juvenile but it's true.

So The Mighty Bhutt~Pyrate basically ran thru the entire Tutorial. He collected a sword, an axe, a couple healing potions, and whatever else he could grab. I ran him thru the entire thing, with the sounds on my TV way down.

After getting out of the cave, I tried to fast-travel to Riften. This is where his game will officially start, I was hoping. But I couldn't do it: I can't just FT The Mighty Bhutt~Pyrate to Riften in the vanilla game. I wanted him to start in Riften because it's closest to Morrowind, and he's supposed to be a survivor of the volcano, there.

So instead of FTing to Riften like I wanted, I ran south with TMBP, until I found the first road he came to. Saved the game and exited. When I start his game next, it willl seem as if he's a dark elf from Morrowind who escaped the volcano, wound up in Skyrim, and has no idea where the hell he is. Sound neat? I think so.

Oh and he's going to have a Dunmer name, too. I'll use a random generator site for that.

The carriage in Whiterun or Falkreath would get you to Riften without all the running. On a side note, this thread has been most enlightening.

...ahhhh...good one! And thanks. I like silly threads.

Now that my new dark elf is out in the middle of literally nowhere, I kinda like the way this game feels. Like I said, he's escaped Morrowind, escaped the volcano. It makes sense that he winds up on a road and has no idea where it goes. He's going to follow this road, though, when I start his game up next. It's the first man-made thing he's found.

Wouldn't you follow it in that situation? I know I would.
