shall we confirm it now then and get on with it? Honestly we were all sailing smoothly on this until this matter came up!

And we only get one life can't exchange it

Yes, let's.
I find that if I don't have a signature, some people disregard the last couple of lines of a long post.

Cthonia/Icarus

Oh you mean the NEW ONE!

Hmm.

Don't they need a name before they have a planet?


I mean following the name I like, Aenean, they would be from some place of related name, like Aeneas. (Aeneas/Ancient Aeneans = Rome/Ancient Romans)

Quote from: Tempest Storm on October 22, 2009, 08:43:59 PM
In Greco-Roman mythology, the Aeneads were the companions of Aeneas, who fled from Troy after the Trojan war to eventually settle in Italy and become the progenitors of the Romans. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeneid for more information of the story about Aeneas' travels) It doesn't quite fit entirely but if you are looking for a mythological reference, it is quite close to the mark as far as people who left their nation that was torn by war to start a new civilization bound for greatness.

The Hadeans are the basis of the Greeks, so a splinter that goes off to form something new, like, the Romans, sounds like a great base. So, I put forth the planet name Aeneas to go with Aenean, or any minor modification there of the name such as putting a D in there.

Those that split off and create Rome could have been influenced by this third group during the time they were still on Cthonia/Icarus.

The two names dont have to be linked, we dont live on Humania, nor are we the Earthians.

We're Earthlings, it's even in my spell check.

Also Icarus is not to Cthonian in that way.

Aside from Aenea, which I still think is one of the best...

My suggestion is Alyssia. It's a corruption of Elysia, a section of the underworld for heroes and other great figures. This would lead to me suggesting Alyssians. Though Elyssians or a corruption thereof would be just as good.

Better yet.... planet Elysium from TRO.

It said somewhere in the mission briefings that there were lost Cthonian cities on the planet.
Others would merely say it was good humour.

I'll put in my suggestion for asphodelia, a corruption on the fields of Asphodel, the place were all the normal people in the Greek world went when they died.

Elysium orbits our sun, just very far away.

He's right, its one of those little places no one has heard about beyond Pluto, pretty sure that's right.
