I hope you all appreciate the amount of work that goes into new NPCs for the game staff side. To show you the amount of thought that goes into such, I've decided to post the following brainstorming meeting for new NPCs for House Tor.

Shalooonsh: Sure, I'll get the log, and become Edi (Tor)
The whole thing began late one night on immchat when a certain Tor staffer asked for names for a new NPC Tor Lord... and I threw out the idea of naming him "Erek."
About two weeks down the road, the staffer was talking about Tor and mentioned the Lord had been well accepted. So began the epic...
This is the best thread EVER.
Of course, Elimineé, the assassin, is a secret NPC we aren't allowed to know about.
And:
Contrac, the builder.
Seeyulay, the ever-absent socializer.
Calculay, the accountant.
Roose, the guy who plays the trumpet and wakes up the Scorpions.
Mor, the tablet-making physician.
Elemeno and Aybeeceedee, twin librarians of Tor.
Abduc, the child predator.
Ack, the thespian.
Administray, the House leader.
Alligay, the monster!
Alienay, the man who makes every social scene awkward.
Ancess, the history keeper.
Annotay, the OTHER librarian.
Predah, the hunter.
Animay, the artist.
Aviay, the pilot.
Castray, someone's gotta make the eunuchs for the harem.
Creay, the merchant.
Liberay, the man who values freedom.
Janiy, the cleaner.
Administray, the House leader.
They may be the house leader but I still stand by my assertion that Crea Tor is the house founder.
Don't forget Simulay, who pretends to be a Borsail.
Oh god lol. >.<
I love you. All of you. Every single one.
"Terran Tor saw us, Rex!" Says Amos Bynner.
"No Tor to us," declares half-giant Smasher.
THESE JOKES ARE ALL TORIFFIC!
Man, I think I'm loosing brain cells.
Shalooonsh is scary. Viola makes me cross my legs!
Immoley (krathi)
Procras tina (house fop)
Khrabs Tor - has a fetish for rinthers. >_>

Tray Tor! He did it! HE'S THE ONE!

It sounds like a super-villian. Or an anti-acid.

Or a topical ointment for herpes.
You all forgot Ele Vay and Eskal Ay Tor. Both very ambitious, often trying to rise above their station in the family.

You win. There are very few ways to win Armageddon, but you found one of them.
That made me uber LOL.

Likes to watch the other Tors.

How about a baby Tor called
Tay Tor, the tot.
Minis goes out to lead devotions.
Insula is the leader of the Anti-Elkran team. They often clash with Conduc.
Ack is always faking it.
Velocirap is always working with the Fales to create a Zalanthanized "Jurassic Park".
Bathwa makes sure the tubs are always full.
Frankfur just loves tandu sausage.
Too late on the Skele, too. But props for also thinking of it.
World, the traveler
Lord Real, envoy to Nenyuk.
Lord Cha - Who inspired this RUN DMC song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzSMvFP6mdg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzSMvFP6mdg)
Caveat-Emp, unscrupulous dealer
Warlord Protec, bastion of Vrun Driath.
Haha, but it would be tough to find a good noble Tor name anyway. Unlike with say, Fale.
Yew Fale.
Fale names now?
Well you can't beat Lord Fullo Fale
Lord Ehpique Fale.
