New name for Antareans

(1/9) > >>

Winter:
Hullo, everyone. On behalf of the storyline team, I'd like to give you all a small opportunity to participate in the story design.

In the new storyline (as seen growing on the wiki), research is presented as in-character, and this creates one or two problems with the old material. For one, the name "Antareans" for an alien species is now anachronous; no one would know that the aliens came from Antares. We're going to need a new name to describe the Antareans that isn't linked to any specific star system, and we'd like to get your votes and suggestions.

Please post your suggested names here, and I'll add them to the poll. Thank you.

Regards,
Winter

Nikron:
what about "Newly recognised annoying lifeforms"? or just simply "Nral"

can u send a link to the wiki? i think i lost that  :shock:

papabob:
Not a bad idea at all. Because:

1.- We don't understand the aliens' language, so we don't know how they name themselves.
2.- The first word we use to name a new thing, usually became its final name.
3.- The firsts to see/combat/talk about aliens will be the soldiers
4.- We all know the imagination of a soldier in combat (just remember the charlies of Vietnam, or BFG in doom :lol: ).

So, we can get  a name with reminiscences of whatever external attribute of the alien (its color, the shape of its head, etc) and use it. Anyone remember Gill Mans of Terror From The Deep?  :wink:

That's the idea. Got a suggestion, then? :P

Reenen:
Has the model (and skins we're using)? been determined.  Can we see it?

Sorry, I haven't played the game this much... i've just been following the project with high interest. And dunno which ones are the antarians...

I just saw the green ones which looks like they wear some kind of clothing.
