When I first noticed the various Egyptian references in Destiny (Osiris, the black pyramids, etc..) I thought to myself "What's a name with Egyptian roots that doesn't sound Egyptian?" I thought back to 9th grade World Studies and remembered a group called the Hyksos who invaded the Nile Delta during the Thirteenth Egyptian Dynasty. I then switched out the "H" with an "R" (My middle initial), creating [i]Ryksos[/i].

  • Very creative. I have done something like that myself, although I didn't pull from Egyptian references, but Greek and Hebrew. All of my characters' names are inspired by Greek and Hebrew references and I have been satisfied with the consistent culture I have created in my story. That strategy works very well and I support it entirely.
