VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.7.5 Public] [Caribdis]

[Dragon59]

Dang, Orion's glare at the end when he find Thanatos real identity and connect the dots it's priceless.
It still give me the chill now like the first time I got to the end of 0.5, I can't wait to see what 0.6 will be, this is really one of the best games I've played so far.
Everything is almost perfect, the pace, the scene's cut, the music I would give it 10/10 right now if didn't know there's still a lot to see and play...

If the latter, is he the only one? Perhaps such are the ones needing saving. I wouldn't be surprised if Thanatos, true to a God of Death, is using those poor, unfortunate souls (sorry, couldn't resist).

There are thousand of greek names to choose from, yet Orion is a bad one imo, at least for a modern setting... even if it holds minor lore references

Why do you consider it a bad one. After all, Orion's "Sword" seems to be about the right length.

That said, I think it's the latter, and I think there are MANY more ...

ROTFL!!!!
Also someone consider him a bad choice? Orion? The son of Poseidon and Euriale? The giant who got his eyes from Hephaestuss after being blinded? The lover of the SEVEN Pleiades daughters of ATLAS,? The hunter Ulysses met in the Odyssey in the realm of the dead? Uhm...Maybe someone should do some math and maybe a little history search, I don't know...

Spoiler: My opinion...

I feel "minor" is an understatement considering:

-Orion has a role/referenced in the "Odyssey," which is the tale from where Odysseus/Ulysses serves as the main character

-The number of the main human LI's are 7, which is likely a reference to the Pleiades (as mentioned by ArDZer), the 7 daughters of the Titan Atlas (which is referenced in this VN as a set of artifact weapons) who are pursued by Orion (the hunter)

-Orion's connection to the underworld which - again - is referenced in the "Odyssey." And in this VN we see that Orion (MC) has a connection with the dead (see: the dreams and the creepy whispers that he hears in this update), though it remains unclear as to why he has such a connection

-Orion is referenced in the myths as a complete horndog, and his VN namesake is pretty much the same

It might be a neat name from a story and allegory perspective, but who is called Orion in as an actual name in the real world? (Sorry to all the actual Orions here in the thread )

I would just find that name distracting while playing...

I'm not saying no one was ever called Orion, but artist often don't use their real name and the third guy was born 200 years ago.

I don't know...the name just doesn't work for me and hampers my personal immersion. If it works for others...good for you.

Speak for yourself thats just your opinion. Mine is different - I am both into astronomy and greek mythology and I really like the name. It is unique and stands out. I think Caribdis chose well. A badass greek hero/constellation is so much better than naming him Bob or something.

 

[Lordcasquenoir]

Orion is hampering your personal immersion, but not Nova ?

I mean Nova is probably as rare if even rarer for a girl IRL.

 

[MrLKX]

And let's not forget Orion Pax. The simple dock worker who would later become the legendary leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime.

But seriously, I'd rather have an MC whose name is a bit exotic but has a deeper connection to the plot than a protagonist with "Dick" as his first name (sorry, Dick Tracy, but it is what it is).

 

[dolfe67]

95% of people rename the MC anyway

It's probably cultural, based on the name you chose for yourself. No worries if you don't like Western tradition and names - just don't keep carrying on and bitching about it. You made your point - move along. Give him an Far East sounding name and be happy.

I wonder which Pleiad would be the counterpart of each LI in this VN. And remembering what I've read about Orion, It'd be very surprising if he does have

Me calculating how many children each LI will likely have based on their personality and horniness level just to reach that quota:

Well...
Alcione was elected to command and guide her sisters
Maia the first born mean growth or to grow in body ( it's not clear since it's dificult to really translate the ancient greek)
Elettra is the one who is considered the less visible of all but elected to protect, she's the most brilliant and intelligent and became the first new star after she was transformed in a statue seeing the destruction of Troy
Taigete is associated to water
Celeno names means black or dark ( the roman legends said it was referred to the color of her hairs)
Sterope or Asterope was the lover of Hares and is known as a warrior
Merope the more sweet and innocent and loved the mortal Sisifo
I leave to everyone of you to seek who can be who...
Just know that in greek and latin Nova means new....

P.S. I wrote this part incorrectly Nova in latins mean new while in greek is neo, may thanks to Just a Memer that correct me, I apologise or my mistake.

I crossed and verified all the knowledge I have about them, because I was always fascinated by their story since I was a kid and... I didn't want to influence yours nor the others opinion on them, but yes, pretty much I had the same thought when I started to see the girls in the game, and how they were interacting with Orion.

 

[Takkatakka]

Speak for yourself thats just your opinion.

Yeah...obviously...?! That's why you CAN rename the MC but you don't HAVE TO.

Come to think about: I might be an outlier anyway, since I always re-name my MC if possible but never to my own name, but to names depending on the character I want to give him.

I never use my own name, but I have a couple of names I use when there is no default. Lately my own default has been Auric (last name Draconis), which fits in with the Greco-Roman naming...

I didn't in the beginning, but when I am offered a default name, I use that. I found it makes conversations on F95 much easier.

 

[dolfe67]

I found it makes conversations on F95 much easier.

In this thread maybe but not in general. Just use "MC" instead of the default name, less confusing. Because I normally don't know the default name of the MC's, and I think I'm not the only one.
