Choosing a Name for Your Character

It’s not easy to choose a name for your character when starting up in an unfamiliar setting. To remedy that, here is a simple Name Generator page that will help you get started. I will continue to grow this list with time so don’t hesitate to come back and visit every time you create a new character in Jeosung, the setting for the Koryo Hall of Adventures.

Last Name

The first thing you need to ask yourself is: does my character have a last name ?

Be aware that most of the individuals living in Jeosung, the commoners, don’t have a last name.

Only individuals who’s families have ties with the Dragons Kings of the Second Age, or those with certain financial or influential means can have a last name. Here is an extract from the Koryo Hall of Adventures - Adventurer’s Guide to Jeosung:

It is now possible to buy almost any name from the cheapest, most common ones to the unique and historically charged ones for a fortune.”
