  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sorry everyone! Due to lack of interest I've decided to close this thread. Thanks to all those who did participate or expressed interest. I might start this RPG again some time in the future, perhaps on www. ppenn/forums .org, but on ChristianWriters, I think this thread has done its dash. Mods feel free to delete.

Question. Are last names common in this world or do they just go by like..."Phil of such and such"? (Not using that name, just as an example)
@ White Wings ~ Since Caldera is based on Spain and Spanish custom, I use their naming customs as well.

For example, my character name is: Lorena Sanchez y
Álvarez de Bería. That means, Lorena, daughter of Sancho and Álvaro, from Bería. Sancho is her father, while Álvaro is her maternal grandfather (i.e. her mother's father). Usually she simply goes by "Rena Sanchez". (I thought the fact that they used a name from the mother's side at all is pretty amazing.) :p


@ Mountaindog ~ Nice of you to drop in. If you're interested, I'm interested. ;)

Wow that's interesting. And it slightly overwhelmed me. I wasn't expecting such a long name ;) So are we going with only Spanish names?

And I do have a character, no matter how delayed it might seem...I just started on one then decided that I don't know if I like him too well, so started on another one X_x

And yes, MD! Join!

::grin:: You're in it for my chars.

My cold-blooded killers, my strong silent soldiers, my fat black men.

Come on, little birdie, can't you get enough.

And I very much doubt the names ned to be Spanish, just follow the Spanish format. Why set forth such stifling statutes?

Kill, if I join, just you try and keep me in line. I'm full of myself.

::digs through box of lifeless cardboard characters::

Like I said, the culture is based on that of the Spanish, so if you come along with a character named Ping Bong Wang, I'm not going to be too impressed... Basically, if your character is from Caldera, then his or her name would obviously follow the cultural norms. I find such things to be far more realistic and thus they add to the reality of the land and its culture, and people are more likely to suspend their disbelief.

You don't need definite Spanish names, as Mountaindog put forth, but something that follows the format would be good. Add an "-ez" to the end of the father's and grandfather's names and you've got your character a surname. :p

Your characters can be foreign, but consider: This story is about Caldera, the land, it's people, and it's Hunters. A foreigner would need good reason to be involved.

Of course, if there's one thing I know about RP players, they always think of something... If you have ideas, pitch them to me. I don't mind sending PMs back and forth until we've found something that works. :)

Remember - *pokes Mountaindog* - new characters for this RP, please. I've seen people try to use the same characters they've had in other RPs and I flat out refuse "used" characters in my RPs. Sucks out half the creativity, I think. (I'm from a writing site, not an RP site, in case you didn't know that. I'm very focused on "writing" aspect of "RP writing".) Of course, I only have your word that you will do so... so I hope you're all honest or I'll make my big white hairy cat sit on you and you'll be lost forever in a mountain of white fur... :p

Such ferocity. I like that in a woman.

Is your cat cuddly? The guys with big , white teeth and crushing jaws are my brothers, and we find things with twitchy tails and sductive, purry voices very... intriguing.

Have no fear, your creativity is safe from me.

At least... I think so...

Better ask WW. I can never be sure.

Sort of, but she's not terribly seductive. She talks too much and has a bad habit of releasing wind just when you happen to be relaxing somewhere in her proximity... :sick: *launches cat at Mountaindog* Catch!

Yeah, I thought I recognised you lot... :p
