I agree with everything that has been said so far concerning naming. I will add that a names should be believable as a name. What I mean is that it is very easy to pick out a name that is just a made up word. It's always bothered me when I have come across a name of a character or a place in a...

I'm reading the last book in the Riyria Revelations now. This series is excellent!! I would have never known it existed if I wasn't a member of this forum.

If you like Sci-fi... Battlestar Galactica is an excellent show on Netflix. Also, if you like zombie movies (and who doesnt?) The Walking Dead is a great show on Netflix!

Political and religious structure. Wealth of the people (class system? Poor? Rich? etc) Geographic location (medieval England vs. Desert City etc etc) I think those are the big three. Of course you can be as detailed as you want.

I'll rate the ones I've played. I havent played all of the FF games: FF6: It was known as FF3 when I had it for my Super Nintendo. This is probably my favorite game of all time. The story was just so awesome and Kefka was a brilliant villain. FF7: Another terrific FF game... great story and...

Bronn from the ASoIaF series and of course Fitz from the Farseer trilogy.
