My first Skyrim playthrough was with a Barbarian named Korgoth, in honour of the fantastic cartoon 'Korgoth of Barbaria' which you should watch if you haven't. The only NV character I can remember the name of is Hartigan, my grizzled bounty hunter named after Bruce Willis' character from Sin City

Isaac. Isaac, the Lone Wanderer. Isaac, the Courier. Isaac, the Argonian Archer.

Gilda. Gilda, the Lone Wanderer. Gilda, the Courier. Gilda, the Kahjiit Fighter.


Isaac was from the Dead Space protagonist, who I thought was the perfect personality and often remarked him as crazy in my playthroughs. In Skyrim I poisoned people, and did alchemy. :D

Gilda was from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic from Rainbow Dash's best friend, who was totally awesome and mature young lady. I made her one of those not to fuck around it. Punching/Clawing people in Skyrim was so fun. Even in New Vegas I punched people to death or used melee weapons. Fucking loved the Ballistic Fist, it made everything possible! :)

I'm not very good at coming up with names so I tend to steal names from shows I recently watched. That being said I named my NV character Ryuk after the shinigami in death note, so I also gave him the same personality; not picking a side and just doing what seemed the most fun.

As for your challenge I can think of two reasons why a female would support the Legion:

1) She has the i.q. of a deck chair
2) She gets off from that kind of thing

My Fallout characters had names?

Well fuck me running, I don't remember that. What's the point of them having names when all of the dialog is pre-recorded, so you can be sure that no character will ever actually address you by name. I'm actually playing NV right now and I didn't know he had a name. I don't even think you can introduce yourself by name, and your dialog is just a text blurb.
Actually you can in one instance when a follower of the apocalypse comes up and asks you to find Mr House`s life technology. You can say "Dr. (insert name here) senses a lack of caps".

In the majority of the games I play that allow character creation (or just naming, like FFX) I name my character 'Vergil'. The reason being because it's my favourite name; nothing special.

Sigrun War-Blade is my main Skyrim character, a Level 45 female Nord in full Dragon Armor who I tend to keep around the occasional high-level skulduggery and for the pleasures of burning my fuckton of cash on all of the Hearthfire houses. A Cyrodiil-born Nord, she crossed the border to reconnect with distant family members in Helgen - but didn't expect to end up saying hello from the back of a cart of prisoners of war...

I also have Red-Scale, a Level 32 Argonian sneak-thief who's a bit more morally defensible than my third and last character to date. Red-Scale takes pains in order not to kill anyone, but his past as a Shadowscale means he's still rather proficient at it. He's been petitioned by the Empire to try and cripple the Thalmor and Stormcloak agendas by any means, and is a deniable asset in every sense of the word. While he could've escaped his execution, his nature as an unrecognized operative meant his only authorized recourse was to die. That's obviously changed for the better. Or is it for the worse?

I see him as being a little less able to digest the Dragon Blood's burden without getting a case of the inflated head.

Hassan is a Level 25 Khajiit assassin whom I use largely as a stress relief device. I pop his save files in, start the game, kill a few people, exit the game without saving, recompress his files, and I'm done. He's my stress ball, more or less. Considering this, he's pretty peachy about being the Dovahkiin. More power means more killing, right?

He considers himself an artist with a pair of daggers and the cover of shadows, and could more or less be considered to be a self-absorbed but highly functional comparable to Cicero.

My main Fallout 3 character was called James, mostly because I figured him having the same name as his rather important father would be a nice touch. My female was called Kate. They were both Speech and Small Guns specialists.

For New Vegas, I settled with Madeleine Smith - shortened to Maddie - because I felt like playing her as a physically capable Femme Fatale. Half Mona DeMarkov and half Beatrix Kiddo, more or less. Highly calculative, always a bit hazy in her motivations - but never a monster by any stretch of the word.

Oblivion's almost always seen me use an Argonian called Red-Scale, who may or may not have been the ancestor of my Skyrim Red-Scale.

Ever since I started playing Mass Effect, I have had a nasty habit of naming all of my RPG PCs "Shepard." It didn't matter the game. Elders Scrolls, Fallout, Final Fantasy, and even Pokemon.

Every character that I have named since Oblivion has been either named after myself or went by the name "Winslow Nascala." The reason being I was bored one day and decided to make a new character in oblivion. Being especially creative that day, i decided to break my routine naming job for something more exotic and winslow nazcala was the first thing to pop in my head.

In my most recent playthroughs of the Fallout games:
Fallout 3 - Fagit (Original, isn't it?)
Fallout: New Vegas - Dude-Guy

And since a few others are doing Persona:
Persona 3 - Jeffery Stalone. But I like to call him Stalone-kawaii-senpai-kun-sama-chan-senpai.
Persona 4 - Real name

Normally I just name my characters after myself. "Charlie"

With my latest character in New Vegas however, I've decided to call him "Johnny Guitar".

In every game I play:

Nutgobler - if I'm playing as a lady.
Shlongsampler - if I'm rolling a manly man of a man.

Sophia is my first choice name (female characters are always my first choice; I only play male if forced), with Elly as my second. (If you get the reference you should treat yourself to a cookie.) For males I generally don't care all that much and will use Whim if there is no better default. I never use my real name; sort of ruins the fun for me.

On a sidenote, a roommate in college once told me a high school friend of his had the nickname 'hamster with a rocket pack'; ever since then, I've used that as my screenname in online shooters.

Skyrim I made an Argonian named Raptor Jesus. He liked sneak attack criticals and bows and arrows.

I have too many Fallout characters to count, but nowadays they're usually named something that helps me figure out what I was trying to do when I go back and play old saves. My last one in FO3 was named Tony Stark, where I set out to do a full int, full repair, full science, energy weapon only character, and I marched straight to Canterbury Commons so I could play the whole game in the Mechanist's costume.

Currently I'm playing an FO:NV character named Miranda Lambert, and I'm taking the full suite of shotgun related perks.

Usually my first characters in any first play through have my own name, though. Why not?

Courier. D:
Usually enter nothing since it doesn't matter at all to me. If I have to put in something I tend to go with DanielBrown.

Barely used the same name for different games. As far as I can remember, Flea Doesnt Hop for Skyrim.
