well me and my friend have been planning to do a manga
and we've done several sketches of the minor characters
but the main ones have either no last name or no sketch
and what bothers us the most is we dont have a good last name
for our hero!! [the guy, the girl has one]
we want to make it sound good and heroic
any suggestions for the Last Name???

Why does he need a last name?

cata · « **Reply #2 on:** December 26, 2007, 06:42:26 PM »

The last name must match the first one.

watashi · « **Reply #3 on:** December 26, 2007, 09:28:40 PM »

i think his name is zero [my friend has the notes so i dont know lol xD]
well you need a last name because he is a character and just because he
is not real doesnt mean he cant have one
and it makes it more realistic lol

Here's a list I made. I don't know any of these "names" and it is a coincidence if its have meanings in japanese or something like that:

Zero Taoko

Zero Oruma

Zero Miruko

Zero Remi

Zero Tahomi

Zero Gameshi

Zero Okapa

Anyways, try to adequate his last name to his personality or looks. Example:

Moroboshi ---Â» Falling Star

Ataru ---Â» To get hit

Another example:

Mendou ---Â» Trouble/ complications; Hall of the Mask

From another Anime named Naruto:

Akamaru ---Â» "Aka" means red. Akamaru was a white dog that could transform himself into a big red dog.

You need a last name that sounds good and heroic?
Well that will be hard... when is 1st name is Zero... XD

Well I'll leave a few suggestions...
Zero Pheonix Or Zero Wulong

Anyway... these names come from my favorite characters from Tekken 5 XD

"... well, you need a last name because he is a character, and just because he is not real doesn't mean he can't have one and it makes it more realistic lol ...."

Fair enough. Literally thousands of charactors in all sorts of fiction ('though I'm focusing on animation for my reference here) have been created with full names in their creator's minds but we-the-viewers don't hear those names until after the series ended....

Let me modify my suggestion, then: don't get hung-up on having to have his last name now. Let the story start and begin to build. The perfect last name may present itself as you get to know your character better.

Good luck. Look forward to seeing your art.

wait I remember....

Zero= Rei

this was mentioned in an episode when Ten was talking to someone in the "rei" channel, which a pun was intended

watashi · « **Reply #9 on:** December 27, 2007, 09:02:16 PM »

yes, we want to make the name resemble the character just like cata said
lol we tried to name him things like bluefire [and things like that] in japanese
but we didnt like the outcome lol

you're right veehie we might come up with name, once we know him well
and well i do hope we start soon, we've been undeciding and well i do hope
i can get to see her so we can work more on it
as soon as we have something ... i'll try to post it :D
but i dont guarantee it being very soon...

cata · « **Reply #10 on:** December 28, 2007, 05:29:24 PM »

It will be worth the wait, I'm sure of it.

themexican · « **Reply #11 on:** December 28, 2007, 05:36:11 PM »

cata · « **Reply #12 on:** December 28, 2007, 05:37:42 PM »

I'm looking forward to see it. Btw, what's your Manga's theme?

themexican · « **Reply #13 on:** December 28, 2007, 05:46:05 PM »

well my manga theme is UY

cata · « **Reply #14 on:** December 29, 2007, 12:29:08 AM »

Interesting...! Is it your continuation of the series?

watashi · « **Reply #15 on:** December 29, 2007, 09:52:46 PM »

nice where do you get inspired from??
its hard for me to just draw like that...
i need to be in the mood
lol

cata · « **Reply #16 on:** December 29, 2007, 10:05:42 PM »

Personaly, I get inspiration from my school days. For instance, what I see during a whole school day, is what I draw. But sometimes, I get inspiration from my dreams, too.

watashi · « **Reply #17 on:** December 29, 2007, 10:13:23 PM »

oh so you have drawn?? what kind of drawings are they
can we see theM?

cata · « **Reply #18 on:** December 29, 2007, 10:27:09 PM »

I try to draw Manga-style but I don't draw very well. But I've been improving but they are still poor. I'll post some of them soon as they are acceptable to be shown to anyone.

themexican · « **Reply #19 on:** December 30, 2007, 06:27:17 AM »

hey watashi and Cata i will post my manga very soon im still working on the last few pages

nebbo · « **Reply #20 on:** December 30, 2007, 11:31:49 AM »

It'll be interesting to see what you guys come up with, looking forward to it

What you've shown of your art so far has been great, themexican, hope that
wasn't a fluke

I'm sorry, but I just have to say that 'Zero' is probably the most unoriginal name I can think of >

You can come up with something better, I'm sure.

watashi · « **Reply #21 on:** December 30, 2007, 08:25:24 PM »

lol i know zero really is over used but in the urge of
getting a name well... things happen lol, but its not official
since... we haven't completely labeled everyone

alright cata, well i'll have to wait lol
