Ok so I've had this character name that I've used for years, and I'm altering his concept slightly.
He's actually my favorite and most beloved example of organic character creation, and it spawned from City of Heroes.
I was making a character, and built a Magic Invul/Stone Melee tanker. And I was idly thinking to myself "Ok so he's a magic hero, which means his powers might come from something like an amulet, yeah ok that works. Where did he get the amulet? His father, who was a hero previously, and who died. He ran around with the name The Fist, and was a terror to the local thugs. Now that he's dead, he passed on his legacy to his son, who took up the mantle, but renamed himself The Risen Fist. Yeah, ok cool I can work with that." And then I fleshed out his background even more, his personal hatred of that undead/frankenstein enemy faction in the game. The Vakossh I think? Or Vakalosh? Because that villain used his father's corpse to make one of the Eidolon villains from dead super heroes.
Sorry sort of rambling, I loved that character. xD
Anyway, the name was supposed to be a double meaning. 1, it was a statement that The Fist had returned, and had "arisen" to fight crime again in the spirit of his son. and 2. The image of a fist raised defiantly in the air.
I've always loved the name and the meaning it's got for me, and I'm going to be using him in an Exalted game with some friends of mine. He will be a Zenith caste as they are the most "tanky" type from the various castes.
Soooo, I was hoping someone who is fluent with Chinese could tell me how to spell Risen Fist.
I don't know if there are different words used for the two examples of "risen" i gave above, but if so, could you provide both please? The one for risen = returning from the dead or similar concept, and the one for risen = a hand lifted in the air.
I'm looking for how to spell it in it's English version, and pronounce it if possible.
Thanks!
