Favorite Character Titles?


Recommended Posts

It's a small detail, but why not make a little topic about it? Those terse formal descriptors before a character's name (useful for telling variants apart), any you particularly like or that catch your interest?

You can include the titles of characters who aren't in the game yet, but have them- meaning every playable character other than Largo and the Genealogy crew, since character endings give people titles. You can also include villains with obvious titles, like Tiger Eye Caellach and Mad King Ashnard. Since these titles should be what they go by when they get into Heroes ("should", because sometimes even with official titles, the characters don't get them- Soren went from "Silent Master of Winds" to "Shrewd Strategist").

 

My likings:

From Radiant Dawn:

Spoiler

Sothe's "Zephyr" is concise and quite unique. I'm surprised FE wasted this mythological reference on him- oh wait, it's a rehash and we out of Japan can't tell b/c they botched the King of Bern's name (but Zephiel does sound loosely biblical with the -el ending, Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, Elizabeth).

Rafiel's "Earthbound Chorister" sounds so fancy, I can see people misspelling "Chorister" all the time.

Brom's is funny- "Rural Juggernaut". Juggernaut? Pffff! Neph, you've got nothing on him!

Ranulf's "Friend of Nations" is strange, but he is so amicable, if you aren't willing to consider him as a friend, you have no soul (still love ya Soren). I can see his title getting changed for Heroes.

Sigrun's "Sapphire of Begnion" is so pretty!

Sephiran's "Light of Creation" sounds a bit over the top, but it got interwoven with his battle theme's name: Origin's End.

From SS: 

Gerik the "Desert Tiger", Duessel the "Obsidian General", and Saleh the "Well of Wisdom" are all awesome. I like "Graceful" Syrene, because it sounds like two soothing adjectives. And Selena the Fluorspar, for her title has a touching little story behind it.

By the way, comparing FEH and SS, I noticed Tana is called "Winged Princess" in FEH, but "Winged Queen" in SS, the same issue with L'Arachel and a sort of similar one "Lady" vs "Queen" for Eirika. Must be because I heard it is easy to mistake the words for "queen" and "princess" in Japanese and the SS translators did, and Eirika never becomes Queen don't think otherwise you dirty incest shippers, but you can have Eirika bloodily coup the throne

From Blazing:

Spoiler

Louise is "Lady of Violets", which is odd because we don't see her with the flower at all. Wish we had a little backstory on this beautiful moniker. (Rebecca, who Louise supports and is a fellow bow user, goes coincidentally by "Wildflower".)

Lowen's "Swift Knight" and Kent's "Crimson Shield" are ironic, since Lowen is slow but tanky and Kent is the fast one.

Wil's "Archer Without Equal" is unusually pretentious for this chill bud (and I feel "Peerless Archer" would be a better wording). Takumi, Innes and Shinon would kill him for it.

Priscilla- "Delicate" or "Secluded" you are not a "Princess"!

Call this dated and him absurd, but I like Jaffar's "Angel of Death".

By the way Isadora, I think you need a title change, "Escort of Pherae" will earn you the heckles of those with low minds.

From Shadow Dragon:

"Coyote"- nothing could be better for Hardin. Succinct, and one of the first titles ever granted in FE. I'm over "Wolf of the Plains".

"Anna's Love"- this will have to change Jake!

Takumi's various titles in English are pretty neat. "Wild Card" has always sounded cool for me, although I'd say Takumi is actually very predictable in his loyalties. "Prince of Soup" is a funny title for a funny seasonal. "Empty Vessel" is also a pretty apt description and basically confirms he's a piloted corpse. I also like the Japanese equivalent of it, "Water's servant/retainer" as it points to Anankos element (which stands out among other dragons).

I love a lot of the titles~

Ike's "Vanguard Legend", Ishtar's "Thunder Goddess", Jeorge's "Perfect Shot", Tharja's beyond ironic "Normal Girl", Donnel "Village Hero" (Because I love him), Rhajat's "Black Magician" because it has just the right amount of edge~ Henry's "Happy Vampire" is hilarious because it's just so him. Both Robin's "Fell Reincarnation" and "Fell Vessel" are cool. When I saw Regular Jakob's artwork, I realized "Devoted Monster" fit him more than it fits the alternate

I also like "Zephyr". "Gentle Nekomata", "Angel of Death", "Cruel to be Kind", and both of the "...'s Sister" because I just find it funny they're only titling them via relation to someone else~

There's a couple more but I always get carried away with minor sht like this, maybe I'll post some more later~

Technically, nothing says she can't become queen. If we operate under the assumption that they both equally share the responsibility of the monarchy as co-rulers, then she would be the queen (queen regnant, technically, but that takes longer to say/write and could be confusing to people who don't know the difference) while Ephraim is the king, and no incest required. A coup would be fun though, SS sequel when?

Anyways, as for titles I like that are in FEH already:

Spoiler

Camus: Sable Knight   Not as cool sounding imo as "Camus the Sable", but it does make more sense.

Hector: Just Here to Fight   Few characters are summed up more perfectly.

Joshua: Tempest King    Tell me that's not badass

Karel: Sword Demon    Again, badass

Mia: Lady of Blades    Can she promote into the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan?

Micaiah: Priestess of Dawn   Pretty cool sounding.

Myrrh: Great Dragon    I misread this as "Grape Dragon" when I summoned her and now can't unsee it.

Reinhardt: Thunder's Fist    Badass

Sothe: Zephyr   Simple, yet elegant and fitting.

Takumi: Prince of SOUP

And for those not in FEH yet:

Spoiler

Duessel: Obsidian General   Pretty legit

Selena: Fluorspar    Damn you and your Camus archetype Likewise cool

Haar: Black Tempest   Badass title for a badass character

Giffca: Lion King's Shadow    ^

Lehran: Light of Creation   OHHHHHHH YES!

Tibarn: Lord of the Air   Cool

Mist: Healing Breeze    Yes, I know she's already in the game, but "Helpful Sister?" Really? I suppose I should be grateful she isn't Maria or Lachesis, who even have their sibling's names/titles, but still, Healing Breeze is way better than "Helpful Sister".

I love Jaffar's "Angel of Death", Jeorge's "Perfect Shot", Minerva's "Red Dragoon" and Katarina's "Wayward One".

They're all very fitting.

...If you aren't the Dark God of The Cabal and the reincarnation of the ancient Numeran entity who defeated the Black Primeval + stole a portion of the Ur-Dargon's power...

You're not The Scion of Darkness; stop swaggerjacking MTG!

I never did get in to card games so this kinda goes over my head, but I understand your point.  It does make sense for Julius as a contrast to Seliph though.

I like the sound of Shigure's Dark Sky Singer, though I wish it was a bit more relevant xD 

The Bull and the Panther (Cain and Abel) also sound pretty cool to me. I've always liked their titles, even before FEH. 

I also love Kent's The Crimson Shield, even though I don't expect him to be particularly tanky if he ever gets into FEH. 

I like the Sunstone and Moonstone titles bestowed upon Glen and Valter. I wish Valter was more fitting of such a nice sounding title, honestly. 

And Reinhardt's sound cool - Thunder's Fist and Thunder's Sword, as well as Ishtar's Thunder Goddess. 

To be fair, I like many of the titles in FEH. They're often pretty cool sounding, or at least amusing :) The only ones I hate are ones that reduce characters to X's relation.

Seliph - Heir of Light

Sothe - Zephyr

Finn - Lance of Legend

Elincia - Lost Princess

Sigurd - Holy Knight (it's exactly what you would expect it to be)

If we ever get Legendary Marth, his title better be "Hero King" or I'm gonna quit the game.
