Username ideas for shogun2?
Username ideas for shogun2?
edit; to change usernames use the rename request thread in the Questions & Suggestions forum.
I was wondering if those of you who know a bit about Japanese history, may be able to suggest some usernames and artwork [for avatars e.g.] for people to use?
A little bit of relative summarised history would be interesting too!
I am also interested to here the usernames you chose and why you chose them, if you already have.

e.g.
I just changed my username, its not of the period but is of the culture…
En no Gyoja 役行者
En no Gyōja (役行者), or En no Ozunu (役小角), born 634, was a Japanese ascetic and mystic, traditionally held to be the founder of Shugendō, a syncretic religion incorporating aspects of Taoism, Shinto, esoteric Buddhism (especially Shingon Mikkyō and the Tendai sect but some Zen sects have also been heard of) and traditional Japanese shamanism. He is venerated as a bosatsu (a bodhisattva, or pursuer of enlightenmen).
Authorship of the non-canonical Sutra on the Unlimited Life of the Threefold Body is attributed to En no Gyōja. Due to his mythical status as a mountain saint, he was believed to possess many supernatural powers.
Nb; sounds a bout right for me lols, he was kind of a Japanese merlin. I kinda wish we had Buddhism come here instead of Christianity, then perhaps our culture would have continued along druidic lines [kinda similar although totally different lols], which includes ‘honour worth’ [ones position in ancient british society was according to your honour and respect begot unto you] and the ideal of an honourable death ~ as with most warrior cultures.
