A journal thing I stole from

Write out the names of your characters and explain:
1) how you thought of their name
2) what made you create the character in the first place
3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)
4) any random fun fact about that character
(This will be difficult...)((I'll only be doing Overworld related characters...))
Black Donald:
Fear him1) Well, Black Donald is an actual reference to the 'Devil' in Scottish folklore. *nod* So I used that and made him a bloody dread bearded pirate who fussed with a dying demon. Hohoho.
2) Uhm, I wanted a big bad ass pirate lord character that had seen the horrors of combat against the hordes of demonic being living on the ground level. Donald Halfbrood fit the bill.
3) Originally he was thinner. In my first concept sketches of him, anyway. I believe he's grown a little beefier and even darker in personality, too. Which is good. He's gained a few abilities since originally conceived, like the summoning of hatchets and ability to reject the laws of gravity. But the base concept is the same. He's still a beefy pirate man.
4) Donald was a run AWAL from the first war against the Demonic creatures. He then mutinied with the other prisoners upon the air-ship and took over the massive ship and renamed it 'End of Days'. His brother is Zane Halfbrood, another pirate captain.
Fredrick Klask:
Spell casting big daddy? No.1) Hmmm. I don't remember where that name came from. But I like it!
2) Well, in Overworld there's a lot of magic, and I realized I didn't have many strictly casters... So I needed to change that. At the same time I was reserching the old deep sea diving equipment, mainly because of Bioshock, and decided to use that as his costume. Mmmmhm!
3) Hum. I believe he started as more of a Dungeons and Dragons character, Magicmagicmagic, then molded into more of a shelled projectile magic launching liche... Though, it is possible he'll change some more.
4) Fredrick's suit is actually a containment suit, retaining all the magical energy that his body produces. He can't seem to help it. It's rather unhealthy to bystanders. Thus the large heavy suit.
Kleinheinz Veit:
Landsketche from the past!!1) I took two Austrian names and but them in sequence that sounded alright. These were the best looking ones. Though he is from Southern Germany/ Eastern Austria? ... Sorry reality.
2) UUUUHHHHHMMMMM!!! SDL! SAMURAI DUELERS LEAGUE!! Yes. I kinda regretted making the cannibal contestant for the league, and was concerned with his whole... deal. So, I needed someone with much more character. Thus, Veit!!! He is the most amazing... and will defeat all! lol. Then I adopted him into Overworld. *nod* Now he's been somehow zapped into the future because of the unstable flow of time and space. So he arrives right in the middle of the first war, kills tons of demon, gets caught by demons, imprisoned for 100+ years, finaly breaks out, finds his way back to civilization... (rambles on)
3) Only his appearance. He's been the insane little soldier man with acute mania and all since the beginning!
4) Kleinheinz's descendants end up finding him after he gets saved by Zane Halfbrood. Real heartwarming story... ... ...
Wally Wrong:
Six Armed Gun Slinging Bank Robber, Need I Say More?1) Well, there's the Wright Brothers, then there's... Wally Wrong. Yea, just a play on words. Or... Names... 8/
2) I wanted a lean mean ass woopin machine, like Zoro from Onepeice. So I added two more sets of arms, and traded his swords for guns then gave him a bowler hat. xD
3) He mainly stayed the same over time, just changing simple details on his person and figuring out how to draw his six arachnoid like arms. lol.
4) He's really not like Zoro at all. He still has to make a name for himself. That's a goal of his. To be the best gunslinger/ shot in the known world. But he needs to beat Freischutz Fext, and that's no simple task.
Atillos Piteros:
Prisoner of Tartarus1) Uhm... I changed it slightly from a name that meant bird or something, along with his last name, which meant similar of that.
2) Well, after creating Pilong, who is also a Tengu, one of the last surviving, I wanted to make his father who would be a grissled bad ass. But, at first I wasn't sure how to do that in a new and exciting way... So I decided that he wold be dead, fighting his way back to the living realm from Tartarus, the hellish prison realm where Zeus once locked up the Titans. Their still there. Atillos makes acquaintances with them, but basically doesn't care for their old long-winded-ness.
3) 4) May do more later...
