>he doesn't name the main character of RPGs after his real nameWhat are you afraid of?
I don’t have a cool fantasy name.
>>744523439yeah because Billy hanging out with people named Yukiko or Isamu doesn't stand out at all
>Greg-kun
>>744523439sorry but Dr. Fuck is a much more interesting name than mine.
>>744523439I make an alteration of my name based on the setting of the game.Eg: Ryan : Ryen (japan) : Rygar (nordic fantasy) : Ryder (anglo fantasy)
>>744523439>What are you afraid of?Myself
>he doesn't post his name and address on 4chan datamining threads vaguely masquerading as video game discussionsYou're being weird again anon
>>744523439I'm already myself irl why would I want to be myself in games as well?
>>744523439My name is Anonymous.
>>744523439Pretty much all enter-your-name games have a canonical name for the protag.I can understand doing this in the 90s, but with the internet you got no excuse to not name Link "Engelbert".
>>744523562Phew Glad my name is japanese
>>744524157I am legion.
>>744523439Why do you believe it has anything to do with fear?
>>744523439My name... is not important
Games I enter my own name into >Pokemon >Persona>Dragon quest>Monster hunter>ZeldaGames I use canon name>Mother>Chrono trigger >SMT>most other stuff if there is a canon name
>>744523439
>>744523439I almost always name them their canonical name if they have. I don't like self-inserting and I'm about as bad at coming up with names, unless it's something intentionally dumb and shit.
>>744523439I grew up used to the fact that most games didn't have enough space for my name. I actually am extremely thankful for this limitation of older games, because without it I might not have realized at a young age that self-inserting isn't necessarily required to still enjoy RPGs and what not. Thank god I didn't become retarded like those subhuman self-inserters who think that if you play as a woman, animal or some otherworldly creature it means that somehow you want to be or fetishize being said creature. To you who believes this unironically I really hope you fucking kill yourself, get your balls crushed by a truck and relive the moment in slow motion for at least 100 years on repeat like a savestate at the wrong place before you fucking die braindead subhuman. I can't believe I'm sharing the planet with such low IQ individuals
>>744523439I always name it Dick Head
>>744523439i usually name them adolf hitler or dickbutt
>Fuck, I...
>>744523439I ALWAYS name my character nigga to roleplay as if in the weeb hood or some shit
>>744523562>BillyJust skip that and slide over to Wilhelm
>>744524314No, my name is Anonymous
I've been naming some of the white characters I make in games, "Wigg" Short for Wigger because of Sonic.
>>744525550And I am legion.
I'm fat and it doesn't feel right to name a thin character after me, it's like cursing them.
>>744523439Why should I give him my name? He isn't me.
>>744523439I name all my MegaTen protags "He-Man."
>>744525550Lies. You are Lanced Jack.
>>744523439I do it only for Persona games. Otherwise I'll use a fantasy name.Although for the main Megami Tensei games, I look up the official names and enter those, cause I started with MT1 which has pre-established protagonists, so now thats just what feels right to me as I play through the series.
Self-inserting is weird. The player character isn't me. I don't self-insert as Indiana Jones or Rambo, so why would I self-insert as Cloud or the Chosen Undead?
>>744526006>giving people a fat man's name will curse them with obesity>life hack: legally change your name to lose 100 pounds instantly
>>744526438
>>744523439>imagine being such a faggot you self-insert as a bigger faggot
>>744523439I always use my real name, Chad Thundercock
>>744526294sameI read the books first so it didn't make sense for me to use my own name since I knew who nakajima and yumiko wereThough I guess if you start with even just MT2 I might have used my own name since he doesn't have a canon name. Actually I forgot what I named him in MT2 but I remember I just named your friend "Friend" and the witch that joins you "Witch" cause there was nothing else to call them
>>744523439Its more fun to treat the character like he's his own person personally
>>744525550>>744525892and Literally Wu's on first?
>>744527152For MT2 I used Hideto for the protagonist and Rosanna for the witch, since that was their names in the manual.I forget what the friend's name was, but that came from the manual as well.
>>744527960OhGuess I should have read the manual
>>744523439Whenever I play a Japanese game, with a Japanese main character, I try and give him a cool Japanese name that I picked up from another Japanese game. But then I remember that Japanese might address each other with their last name, and I get the first and last name mixed up. So then I think to myself: "Shimata!"
>>744523439i don't self insert when playing games and usually just use a default canon name for the character of if lacking that i just use my regular internet handle.
I do that unless is a game with online features and others can see my name even if single player.
>name the protagonist after yourself in bahamut lagoon>get cucked by princess yoyonever again
>>744523439>What are you afraid of?Losing my job and ending up homeless.
>>744523439What Im really afraid of is naming the girl character because I have no gf
>>744523562Japan fucking LOVED Billy Herrington though
>>744523596Jim. Jim the knight.
>>744525482is this a Xenogears/Xenosaga reference?
>>744523439But I do.
>>744523439>Hey Robert, take Chiri and Kuzuhaki to East Kamichiko with you.Nah.
>>744523439>Not naming your character FUCK YOUinsert image: Noble voice: FUCK YOU
>>744530343you should put your name not your favorite food
>>744530509
>>744527569>No! Nophono's first!>And who is second?>Naturally.
>>744530691
>>744523596>Not making Japanese phonetic alterations.Instead of Greg, Greggu. Instead of John, Joonu. Instead of Frank, Furaanku.
>>744523439ctOS gets closer to be real everyday. I can't leave any traces of myself.
>>744523439Username I've used since 2005 or my name depending on the circumstances. Also occasionally an RP name that fits the character or setting if it's replays/alts/I just feel like it >>744523562lmao this lil nigga got a propeller beanie name
>>744531110Ok smartass now do Sean
>>744523439I named the characters in Secret of Mana after myself and my sisters. It was a bit weird when Randi and Primm were kinda romantically involved and Popoi was a guy.
>>744531021i want to drink Aqua's piss so bad
>>744533850hot
>>744523439for SMT games I always go some variation of >Goku Vegetabecause that is a very traditional japanese name. only exception is SJ in which I am >John Burgerbecause the MC is an american, so I must go with the traditional american name.
>>744523439Self inserting is a sign of low IQ, backed by research
>>744531349
>>744523439Bahamut Lagoon

>>744523439CURSE YOU... ZELDA!CURSE YOU... SAGES!CURSE YOU... Greg
>>744523439That's incredible. It has just enough character spaces to fit my nuts in your mouth.
>>744531349Shaann. (SHAW-nn)
>>744530250Filiberto
I always name my characters "nigger faggot" if the game is and old singleplayerくろんぼ おかま if I'm playing a japanese game on japaneseIf the game is modern and have filters, I use ways to go over the usual name, like n1gg3_f4gg0t or things like thatI never ever use my real name, that shit is for mentally ill people
>>744523439I always autistically mix my name with the canon protagonist name
>>744539343>Makes his naming scheme his entire "counter-culture" personalityNo, trust me, you're naming it after your real name. You do not have a personality beyond "the guy who names things nigger or faggot."
>>744523439Why wouldn't they give you a fixed last name though? Is all dialogue flow around what could be literally anything? Game doesn't even know what your name sounds like.
>>744529885It's not your fault lil nigga, you didn't know the Japanese were like thatApparently Japanese women did this thing called like>night village walkwhich was basically all of them walking over the next village and apparently sleeping with their men because>???>Profit!
>>744523439because I think the name Hamzahd Gubermatagetilaev-Tumanishvili is slightly too long for most games namefields
>>744540676I think those words are funny though, I always brings a smile to my face when the characters in the game keep calling me nigger faggot
>>744544654I used to think fart and dick jokes were hilarious. Then I stopped being 6 and developed a personality.
>>744523439I've posted a lot of my screenshots here over the years and have learned to not make myself an identifiable internet presence to the average poster, so I have a couple of names I swap between for vidya and shit since it's easier than constantly editing out my real name.
>curse you Zelda!!>curse you sages!!>curse you... Nigger69!!
>>744523439I always do Star Diablo Light Raine The Guy
>>744526294Demi-Fiend has no canon name so which one do you use?
>>744546661Demifiend has a name in the Drama CD and light novel
>>744547062Two different names that aren't canon because he has no canon name so what name do YOU give him
