Petition: Female Named GCR

by **Escade** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 4:13 pm

Osiris, Balder, Lazarus - what do all these three have in common? They are GCRs and they are all named after male figures.

Where is an Aphrodite, and Artemis, and Athena, or an Isis?

I would like to start a petition for a new GCR named after a female figure of power. Even Jennifer would work

Those Sinkers are looking kinda full...

Find us some female mythological figures that continue the sinker theme about death/resurrection.

Persephone comes to mind. Beautiful name too.

A tenth sinker/GCR [Not counting the Education or Warzone Regions] would be nice I suppose. Would round out the top ten in population and obscure those pesky PCR a bit more.

Ok, ok, bear with me here guys, how about Night Mother?

You know like from Oblivion. I would be totally stoked on you guys. I'm being super-cereal right now.

I second Persephone. Good name, that.

Angelos
Goddess of the underworld I thinks.

I like that. It would be nice to have a Greek named GHR.

Coatlicue is the Aztec Goddess of Life, Death, and Rebirth.

What else is common about them? They're all names stemming from Western tradition. Why not something from other cultures?

Onamuji though he wasn't female.

Yeah. Like Aqua Buddha or Kanye West.

I'll admit I'm partial to that name, though, do we really need another GCR?

you only need one, but i suppose having several makes it more entertaining

Even if the Feeders/Sinkers are filling up, there are also really cool male names too, like Hades or Thanatos or Yama or Shinigami, among others.

Well Googling it showed up Bari.

I prefer Bari as Lazarus and Osiris have three syllables while Balder has two as Bari does. Unless I am reading them incorrectly.

I also like Trebaruna.

I believe there was a Celtic goddess/powerful witch who served a king of something or the other by raising his warriors from the dead after they had died. Although I can't remember the name, that would fit.

A common theme of NS!

That said, I would think the obvious example would be Ishtar/Astarte, given she descended to the Underworld and returned again.

We should do this.
