I don't have a ritualist right now, but over the PvP Extreme weekend I was known as the great "Doctor Gimbo"
I think I'll keep with my original idea naming characters: I'll give it my own name :grin:
It becomes quite hard at this point cause I have used already these combinations:
first- & family name
family- & first name
(aka=) Siru & family name
my alias (consists two words that should be one)
Anyone could help with suggestion?

This is true, but sounds too generic for me. I like mine since it fits the asian them of Factions to a T. :grin:

Mine is "Servant of Dakini" :)
My apologies but Dakini sounds like a tropical drink. :laughing:

Mine is Naomi Scry. From the source I got, "Naomi" can translate into "beautiful wise child." I think that wisdom is a quality very befitting the ritualist. "Scry" is a nod to the ritualist's spiritual sight aspect.
Mr Snuggles
30-05-2006, 22:51
Serious Name - Ryusei Hidetsugu

31-05-2006, 13:59
which means (i think) victory over
aut = or
.....
Mistress Jakira
31-05-2006, 14:04
I think Victory or Death is a much bolder and better name than Victory over Death anyway! :grin:
Aurora Vicious
31-05-2006, 21:49
My rits name is Leijah Riddle.
Leijah just sounded cute and Riddle cause ritualists wear that headgear which makes them look mysterious. :smiley:
Bel Ebih
31-05-2006, 23:40
I named my Ritualist "Grim Luxuria" after the song with the same name by Cathedral. The song is from "The Ethereal Mirror" album. After seeing her summon spirits, cast, and dance, it just seemed... fitting. :smiley:
Here's the lyrics:
Cold sin and fire, burning wrath and anger,
this crippled splendour of lust so dire yeah!
Insane visions of beauty, groanings so empty,
wriggling in agony, the frail corpse of love that's me.
Hair and eyes limbs and faces,
bending hard in fierce embraces.
Ooh this loveless rage, come give me pain -
arcane exotica, ooh grim luxuria.
Twisted lust on fire,
love the bastard liar.
Sick grins of pleasure, warped torsos in heaven,
bending tongues - saliva, licking lifeforms of grotesque.
On the floor bones cracking, like evil dogs mauling,
grunting in this ecstasy, - shaking, screaming, clawing me!
Pleading eyes mangled faces,
torn apart, in growling places.
Ooh this seething cage, white light in vain,
arcane exotica - grim luxuria.
Twisted lust on fire,
love - the bastard liar.
Oh sweet sanctity, -
hell is pouring over me.

Mine's just called Aces Beginning, after all my other Aces (Straight Aces, Empress of Aces, The Cursing of Ace). I wanted to use Ace of Spades, but sadly, it was taken.
Ace of Spades would make a nice name for an assassin but maybe that's because I've watched too much anime lately. :laugh:
Throwing cards anyone?
Barcardi The Cat
01-06-2006, 02:25
My rit is named Fan Tasy and is perfect for her cos she's a dark and dusky maiden with long blonde hair. She certainly gets admiring comments from people when she's wearing her exotic armour.
Mythralbeme
01-06-2006, 23:27
My rt is named Power Beyond Might... rt are not that strong but when given the chance they can do serious damage... aka spirits
A friend of mine named her ritualist Kami no Miko, Priestess of the Gods. :grin:
My ritualist is named The Dark Sith Lord.
I'm a big star wars fan.
I'm surpirsed no one's made an Rit/A named DareDevil yet(?)
Mine is called Alestia Arkansai.
The Arkansai is the last name of all my characters. And Alestia was a reference to Alester Crowley (who was dealing with spirits and the like). :smiley:
My ritualist is called Jun Oh (which actually means King Candid, or King Pure).
Servant of Kali
02-06-2006, 09:31
Mine is called Alestia Arkansai.
The Arkansai is the last name of all my characters. And Alestia was a reference to Alester Crowley
Then u missed 1 letter lol, since he was "Aleister" not Alester :)
I just named my new ritualist "Tatonka Dreamweaver", since I thought of playing him like a kind of indian shaman speaking to the spirits :laugh:
Mistress Jakira
03-06-2006, 22:56
I love the way the Ritualist gal looks in a red Shing Jea set, so I named mine Ariadne of Asshai, Asshai being the hometown of the 'red woman' Melisandre, a priestess of R'hllor from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, which I love heartily. :grin: Ariadne is just one of my favorite names aesthetically speaking, and of course the assonance of "Ariadne" and "Asshai" is a nice bonus. :smiley:
Ithildin
03-06-2006, 23:50
Mine ended up being named Ivinaad Daveeun. There is no story behind it, yet. One day I might think of something as to why. I haven't gotten tired of the character yet, so that is a good sign the name fits the build. I ended up fitting him with the 1.5k Imperial set. Not overly gaudy and heinous, in my opinion. Nicely decorated without being flashy. Seems to fit him nicely.
Bozos Of Bones
04-06-2006, 00:50
A greek-inspired name Phoebe Charon. Currently struggling with this or that mission in Cantha. I like Rits :D
I like Rits :D

Shi Violet
04-06-2006, 19:41
My Ritualist is Hina Chel.
Hina: A Polynesian goddess (or goddesses, there are many Hinas) of the moon and creation (among other things).
Chel: From Ix Chel, the Mayan goodess of the moon who also is the keeper of the souls of the dead. She's also a healer, and is often depicted wearing a skirt with bones on it.
Pretty fitting, huh?
all my characters are sumthing lawe, so ritulist lawe, mesmer lawe, warrior lawe, ranger lawe, necro lawe, ele lawe, *** lawe.........no wait meant assassin lawe :D
Tokugawa
05-06-2006, 04:27

My Rit is Ritual Killa
Althea Voidwalker, thats name of my Rit
I always use the same name for all my chars, followed by the pro itself:
Nazlakh the Warrior
Nazlakh the Monk
Nazlakh the Ritual
Nazlakh the Ranger
etc.
Also comes in handy for the guildmembers. If they need the pro I am online with, they will ask me to help me.

Scott the Green
11-06-2006, 19:44
Scott the Farseeing. It fit my naming convention and sounds kinda cool to boot.
You know, farseeing, but he's blind. Opposite of what you might expect from the class.
During the Factions preview event he was Scott the Eternal (because he could only exist for that weekend), and during the PvP preview he was Scott the Corpse (which is my standard PvP name, except I filled up all my character slots despite swearing I wasn't going to do that).

I do this but always make the first part of my name Malak, which is either Arabic for Angel or King, whatever it is it sounds cool. My Male Ritualist at the moment is called Malak Spiritburn or something similar XD

13-06-2006, 02:27
I just came up with these Rit names not too long ago.
-Male ~~Spiritual Was Zenyo~~
-Female ~~Spritual Was Zenyita~~ (i think that fits lol)
OR
-Male ~~Forgiving Was Darian~~
-Female ~~Forgiving was Luang~~
I haven't actually used these in any of my characters, so if someone can't think of a name - take your pick

I just had to name mine The Hoodoo Guru. :grin:
I was surprised it wasn't already taken, since I did so a while after the class came out in the preview weekend. Seemed like a good name for a guy that looks like a witch doctor type.

I named my Ritualist "Sekhemkhet Djoserti".
Sekhemkhet was the third Pharaoh of the Third Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, and reigned from approximately 2649 to 2643 B.C. Not much is known about him, though it seems he was the immediate successor to Djoser, and may have had a personal name of Djoser-Ti (Sekhemkhet being his King Name).
His name means "Powerful in Body".
(Although, Sekhemkhet Djoserti is a female ritualist. ;))

Mekeda of Sheeba, the full name of the Queen of Sheeba [now ethiopia].

Although they never married she did give birth to his son, King of Ethiopia, Son of Soloman, Ras Tafari
His bloodline is still alledged to be strong in Halie Salie, the rastafarian messaih.

IMO, best one that had me laughing for a few minutes:
Ha U Cant Blind Me
i might use that for pvp sometime. LoL.
I named my PvE rit during the 2nd preview weekend Sephi The Freak.
permnate one ended up being named "Sephi The Anomaly"... a testimate to both the weird/different-ness of the ritualist class and myself. Sephi=Sephiroth which is the name of my main character, and which most guildies know me by (and taken from FFVII if u didnt know).
Rt/N Forbidden Rituals &
Rt/Mo Sacred Rituals
kinda generic, i know :-P

Which is Japanese slang for "Spirit Dealer"
Objection! This has nothing to do whatsoever with the fine japanese language its simply English spelled really poorly so it sounds a bit like a japanese accent. And its not slang it just sounds like a punkish anime attack.
