April 6, 200719 yr Tell me, can anyone guess where I got some of the names for my characters from? Especially those of the order? Just a neat exercise to see if anyone does any research behind my characters other than their cool guyver powers and such?
April 6, 200719 yr Well here I go. Anubis-The Egyptian jackle god of death but he was originally the god of the underworld. Alexandria-The city of Alexandria named after Alexander The Great. Zagam from what I can tell is a drug used in bacterial infections. Baphomet is an idol or image of uncertain provenance. Malice is one of two things one he's a character from a marvel comic or he's a demon from the book The Demonata. Ereshkigal-From Mesopotamian mythology was the goddess of Irkalla, the land of the dead or underworld. Sometimes her name is given as Irkalla. Well that's it for now I hope I'm right well only Allen can tell.
April 7, 200719 yr Author Anubis- Correct Alexandria- Correct, but there is more to it. Zagam- WAY off! Baphomet- True, but wrong context. Malice- I didn't actually name Malice, I believe from speaking to the maker that Malice was meant for his utter contempt in life. Ereshkigal- Correct
April 8, 200719 yr Here we go with Zagam: Zagam - Grand king and president of infernal regions. Said to change things into its opposite. Demon of counterfeit As for Baphomet, I think we discussed his origin, or the meaning of his name before the hacker incident. My guess is you refer to Aleister Crowley's approach in which he is portrayed as a magical child and a union of oposites, a personification of chaos.
April 11, 200719 yr Author Zagam is not a personification of Chaos, Lost Soul is indeed correct. Some texts suggest Zagam is also a demon of alchemy, turning lead to gold and such similar activities. Hence the name of a Matrix-bonded creature. Baphomet is also known as a Beast Lord in some texts in Hebrew I believe, I'd have to look it up. Do don't quote me.
April 11, 200719 yr Hmm, yea i guess that would describe zagam best in relation to that demon. Wasn't Baphomet also associated with the Templars who people believed they worshiped? I believe he was depicted with the head of a goat n pentagram n all that jazz.
