I am creating an ORPG. Its gonna be named [HERONAME]'s Legacy heres the story:

When I look back at my past, I see an endless number of battles with mythological and supernatural creatures. And I'm always alone and isolated, struggling for the people's good. For every one of them, except myself. They were not ready... Not ready at all to face real monsters, tales they were told as children and never believed...
But gifted with unusual strength and magic and always carrying powerful artifacts I always managed to keep them from the truth, I always managed to protect them. Apart from that one time... The time that, after decades of battle, I fell. Now that I, [heroname], am gone, chaos shall be unleashed in the lands of [landname].
Who can stop that madness?


Can somebody think of a name for that hero?

Well, it helps a lot if you have the race of that person, just look how Orcish name differ to Elvish names, etc.. also, a last name can indicate his speciality.

Langais.
Ogien.
Odier.
Etzal
Anatan.
Nicanor.
Arador.

Nah... thx for ur time

EDIT: Race is obvious if you just read the story...

Just do what i usually do.
Two methods of making up a name.

Method 1:
1. enter google translate.
2. write some word in one language and translate it into another language eg. translate cat to latin
3. see the translation. Not happy? Write another word eg. Stroke.
4. Mash the words together and you got yourself a name. I got Felisictus
5. Not happy? Repeat step 2-4

Method 2:
1. Pick up a random wordbook (one that says the meaning off any word)
2. Select a random page
3. Select a random word
4. Repeat step 2 and 3
5. Mash it together.

Very simple really:thumbs_up:
Could even mash up your name to:
Vildue
Devliuk
Elukei

You want something that sounds "devine" or "great" in my opinion.
Here are some cool Latin words, that fits the theme, and Masken has a great method.

English
angel, holy, devine, satan, demon, evil, good, god, one, ultimate, hate, love, great
Latin
angelus, sanctus, digredior, diabolus, everto, malum, bonus, deus, unus, ultimate, contemno, diligo, valde

But I would go for Tyrael, just cause the name is fucking awesome!
But yeah... Copy names ain't good :S

Well, I just use to say some random word backwards... And then, if they do not fit, I mix the letters a little randomly... :)
However if it's a map like the Warcraft-universe, I'll make names which is like the races normal names, without he backward-techique... Here's an example - all with the A-letter:
Human : Adam (My name... Humans must have names that exists in the real world, unless they are heroes or the like) xD
Human (Hero): Agamagir (or something like that)
Orc : Arck'duk (I use to make the names in a quick harsh way that even Orcs should pronounce easy)
High Elf : Artharion (A beatiful - a little gayish - way, showing their arrogance)
Goblin : Azzik (Always some 'Z's or 'Q's)
Dwarf : Ardron (I just think of a word that a dwarf could be saying)

And by the way: Who's Tyrael? I don't know him/her/whatever

- Amargaard / ANM / Jalokin95 (<-- Don't mind those words, they aren't examples or anything) xD
