Where did you get ideas for the names of your characters (including your operator)? Feel free to state some background into them if they had history on other RPGs before MMM. If you also had past ideas for Navis, post them!
Kaji Fukushuu/Star Mage - "Fire Revenge" in Japanese... Originally going to be a madman and pyromaniac mage/I used to play Super Mario RPG a WHILE back, and I enjoyed Geno, and since he fights somewhat like a mage, I thought of him as a Star Mage
Master Dragon - He started out as Star, then Star Knight, then Dragon Star... Then I added the Master to make him seem more powerful, and took the Star out... Originally was to be a master swordsman, calm and collected, he enjoyed fighting, thinking of it as play... He also was to feature a small Virus familiar - Magicmet... Even though I showed his face a little bit, I decided to take him out since it was leaving plot holes.
Requiem - On Cult of the Metools, I planned to have an opposite of Forte, a Light version... Obviously, Piano (Forte means loud, Piano means soft) doesn't sound too good... I got bored and played Zelda: Ocarina of Time and thinking Requiem of Spirit, chose the name Requiem... In this RPG, I made him talk slightly and wrote his thoughts to make him have some influence, but in COM, he was completely silent and emotionless... And he also held a grudge against everyone, and as with one of the flashback scenes involving Requiem and Master Dragon, Requiem hurt Master Dragon badly...
Dissonance - My first one that was completely planned for MMM and without any COM background to it... When I was thinking of a third Navi, I decided that I would stick to music names for a bit... Obviously, it didn't work too well. After reading some Nintendo Power magazines from a while back, I remembered "Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance..." Since he was planned to be a Dark Loid, Dissonance sounded like a good name (literally means "sound to stay away from"), for he was originally panned to be someone people would stay away from... Unlike my other Navis, he had no coherent storylines written down on paper beforehand, and thus his introduction was not a good one.
Silence - As usual, with the music terms, I tried to search... For once I found one that I didn't get from a game title... this time, it was from my mind... I planned to make him a necromancer, and unlike almost all of my other Navis on MMM, he ended up EXACTLY the way I wanted... A necromancer, powerhungry, and very able to frame people...
Kappa - First off, he IS NOT MY FIFTH NAVI... Remember the plot about Star Mage's bugged PET? Originally I planned to have him try to modify Magicmet into a stronger model, and with the bugs he would have become Kappa... Kappa came from FFVI, when I remember Kappa the Imp, as someone wrote in an FAQ, I think about the Imp Robot you could buy at the auction... Kappa was supposed to be Bug element and have a mental age of a four-year-old...... And I actually did write up a full blown bio for him without the storyline...... Only to find out when I was getting it approved that Bug element is a boss element... If I were to change his elements, though... That may leave some plot holes, so just for the sake of it, I killed Kappa off...
For those of you who are curious, my fifth Navi may seem familiar... And isn't a custom...

My Navi came from a thought of mine from the sever on IRC known as /server irc.graffiti.net Before I "ascended" to IRC I was a used of DBZmail and SailormoonMail, Sailormoon (Because it was awesome and still is at the time) was where I signed up and I took place in an RPG...My Character was a Vampiric version of Li Showron from CCS (Card Captor Sakura). My character had like natural weaknesses such as if he was kissed he would turn purple and suffer from temporary paralysis *Not my idea...*Geez it's been so long since I have been there...Well...That's he history of Kyuketsuki...sort of. As for the whole fan thing, blame Temari from Naruto, Leblanc from Final Fantasy X-2 and Kagura from Inuyasha...Fans are awesome. As for my operator, I saw the name Kazunori and Kazuhiko and so I thought...What about just plain Kazu. His name was going to be something like Tsuzo, Tao, Shin, Shinichiro or Li (Refrence to the Navi maybe...) Kyuketsuki is the word for vampire in Japanese...So I thought of a Navi who had been corrupted by data, viruses and other things. As for my other Navis who I plan to make when I complete this long mission...One will be Angelic, that Navi represents the "White Magic" side of magic. Oh, I didn't mention that my Navis are magic based. In my opinion Magic is stronger than the fist or the sword...The third will be based off of my origional Slayers characters, Rezi Inverse (Son of Luna Inverse and the keeper of Shabrandigu). Rezi is also the previous form of Kyuketsuki. The fourth Navi is going to be like...KOS-MOS from Xenosaga, speaks VERY properly and is awesome at times. When he is created he will abuse the phrase, My external appearance is down 5%, Kazu (Shion in KOS-MOS's case) I need to be cleaned.

The ONLY Navi I have that has a real story is NapalmMan.... a story VERY few know:
NapalmMan was, as you may have guessed, the very first Navi in the MMM (Which started on another board as a joke called "The Battle Topic") When this all started, there were NO teams, and no good/bad... the story was closer to a boxing match: random Navis fight for the fun of it. As the FIRST few bits of story came about, the main players were: X, Zero and NapalmMan. Now, in those days the parings were like this: X had GyroMan as a partner (Blue Team), and Zero was my partner (Red Team). NapalmMan being of a higher level, took Zero underhis wing as apprentice. The entire RPG stayed this way for months, until; Zero changed sides.... X and Zero teamed up (as it should be) while I teamed up with our newest member, ShadowMan (Yup, Niall) Thus began a recuring theme of Zero being the once and former apprentice of NapalmMan who ended up betraying him. At that point, we FINALLY had good and bad sides to the RPG.... "Team Element" (X and Zero) and "Team Sonic Storm" (Shadow and Napalm). At this point, the RPG became a slug fest between the two major powers.... this went on until our first ever boss battle, where NapalmMan transformed into Alpha. The battle lasted several hours, but Zero, Gyro, Shadow and X won.
Skipping ahead: the MMM V1.5: At THIS point, the story stayed intact. We still had a MAJOR hatred between Napalm and Zero, but at THIS point, we saw more familiar names show up.... the WWW and ONB. The full version of the RPG began with NapalmMan raiding the ONB vault and taking back a chunk of data. This point in the RPG was fairly uneventful.... HOWEVER, it DID spawn another important relationship.... as Vile took the place of Zero as NapalmMans apprentice.
Skipping ahead again: MMM V2.0: This was also fairly uneventful.... we introduced the "Titans"... the original Navis who would start at V30 or so (There was X, Zero, ShadowMan, Forte and NapalmMan) The only thing REALLY worth mentioning at this point was the fact that Vile became leader of the WWW.
Finally: MMM V3.0: The story here began roughly 5 years after all had passed. This time Napalm made his grand intro as the good guy tracking down a "Dark Soul"
.....THAT Dark Soul is what triggered ALL chaos in the RPG from that day, to this!

O_o... I'm liking this... Kazu, your's has a lot of video game bases off of it, as well as animes, so I think to be able to make a hybrid that is barely distinguishable is a commendable job. ;)
Now, about Napalmman... V30... XD... I remember I tried to join this, but the Battlechip thingymajiggers (1-time-use, 3-time-use, 5-time-use, etc...) drove me off... I found it a little oo complicated, even if the storyline looked better then... I did read the storyline, which seemed somewhat more serious than the current, but the some RP skills I didn't like so much as now... (for those of you who didn't know, I signed up under the Navi name Blues, based off of Classic Blues, and Ice elemental he was...) Somehow now, I find it much more simple, and also easier to enter, which is why I jumped onboard again at 2.0...
But man, that's a nice job at running this site for 5 years, 5 years is an excellent job if it's still going smoothly even now. ;) I find this RPG a lot better than it used to be, even if the storyline wasn't as detailed, COM's only 1 year old (2 years on 4/28)...

Where my characters came from?
hmm....well QuickMAn is kinda obvious....thought I changed the story on how dave got him a bit...
SAbre..well...I liked the idea of a Light Navi, and I wanted him to use a sword, so the Name sabre came to mind. as for his backround story....well I don't have much of one....I never realy take the time to make anything good...but I might someday...<_<
Tundra's Name came with the help of Raven, I asked him what he thought was a good name for an Ice Elemental, and he sugjested it, I liked it, so thats his name. as for a story...I had Dave's father ( who works as a Navi Crreator) make it and give it to Dave to test out. when he found out it worked, he let Dave keep him, and thats pretty much it...MAn I am realy good at making up Backround storys aren't I? <_<
Musashi. I took the name and base of the character off of the Game Brave Fencer Musashi. the main character Musashi uses two swords, and was brought from another land to help save the one he was taken to.
so thats basicly a run down of my 4 guys...and as I said before....I REALY need to work on my Backround story skills...<_<"

Have you seen where the Cutman Bros. depict Rockman as evil? They have a scene where Cutman looks like a Japanese hero and Rockman has darkened eyes, an evil voice, and licks his Aqua Blade. >_>"...
Starman - I couldn't think of a custom Navi, and decided to use Starman after playing with him in EXE 4.5... I tried to emulate his personality, as he uses sound effects in his speech... I don't think I did too good a job, buit I haven't seen him talk in any game in English... I didn't play Network Transmission. But I'm kidna' proud of his images (especially his Hyper Attacks)... >_>
And obviously, Kappa's been born... And... Expect another Navi coming soon in theatres Near you!

Er, 5 years story wise.... the MMM has been up for roughly 3 1/2..... the old story was TERRIBLE! we did nothing but go back and forth stealing random data, and a boss would show up when specific data bytes were together in the same area -_-;

*smack* OK, my bad... I must have mistakened it. Besides, 3 1/2 years is still good...
XD... My storyline antedates your's by 100 years... Which looks a little weird... Six of my Navis (Kappa's the one out) are 100+ years old... One of them 200+... And before the standard EXE storyline (Barrel was an old man at Netto and Enzan's time... He died during their time, and Colonel was alone.). >_>
Meh, but sometimes I think the Dark Soul thing is too bland... Maybe add more villains, and other things possessing things, not just Dark Souls... >_> It's been seen on many RPGs, and perhaps that might be a way to look even more unique... >_>
Man, and before you came to COM, you were just a GFAQs person who lives on the EXE 2 Boards to me...

Where did my character come from? Well...
Actually, I thought him up years ago, when I was a pre-teen. I drew up what I imagined he'd look like on paper. Eventually he became the person he is today, but his design hasn't changed much at all. He's almost exactly the same kid today as he was 5 years ago.
He's a lot like me in personality, and he even has some of my looks.
I named him after a musical term because it fit the series. "Staccato" means "marked by a short clear-cut playing or singing of tones or chords". It's spontaneous, happy and slightly simple. Kind of like Staccato. Staccato usually lives in the moment, he's an optimist at heart, and he enjoys the simple things in life.

I don't really have too much history with my girls. I named them by whatever would fit their personality.
JJ: JJ are the intials of my real name. I just decided to make up a name that would fit those initials and came up with Juna Juri. Weird, huh?
Suki.EXE- Suk's name means "beloved" in Japanese. And that's what I tried to make her to be. She's someone that loves and cherishes her friends, so I guess her name was based on her personality more...
Amiah- I made this name up. You see, some girls have this thing were when they get bored, they make up baby names for their future children. While I was at school one day, helping my friend pick a name for her baby (yes, she was pregnant) when I came up with the name. I decided to use it for my next navi. I wanted Amiah to be a great contrast from Suki, being the quiet one.
Mika- Mika's name means "new moon" in Japanese. I dunno what on earth possed me to pick that name, but when I saw the pic, I wanted a name to match it and Mika just...fit. She's hyper because I wanted her to be different from Amiah, but nicer than Suki. ^___^
Takara- Means "treasure, precious object". And that's how I wanted Takara to be portrayed. She's an intelliegent, mean girl on the outside, but on the inside, when you look past all the attitude she's really something to be treasured. She sticks by her friends and she won't let them to down even when she thinks they're being stupid. I also wanted someone who wouldn't get along with Suki, since almost everyone did. That's why her and Suki don't get along, I thought it'd be intresting.
Sapphire- Sapphire is my birthstone. I just had to have a navi with that name! Sapphire is a very dark blue gem that's extremely beautiful and lasts for a very long time. Sapphire was always intended to be the strong, silent type, which she is (although she's been talking alot more lately) simply because of her name. It also was a pretty big contrast from my other three girls who talk and/or insult everyone.
And I'm sure you'll all like my newest navi too!!! ^_____^ HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The operator, Jake, gets his name from me. Jake is the name I go by. He's almost an exact opposite of me. Impatient, easily annoyed, and sometimes loses his temper.
Vash is named after a character I used when I first started RPing. The character is similar to the one that I created on Quickman's RPG.
Sniper is named after what he is. He is a bit naive and believes in the best of everyone. When he is on a mission or has a goal set, he is sometimes serious to an extreme. He's pretty much a custom character for MMM.

Colonel.EXE: Colonel, well... He's from EXE 5... But he is, as his first Hyper Mode implies, a Lone Savior. Countless times in Team of Blues, he saves Rockman and Blues, especially in the anime. Colonel has a very... subtle personality, as well as like a soldier. ;) He kinda' is a "conservative" and likes to stay with what he has, particularly because he doesn't want to lose what Barrel, his long deceased operator gave him. Barrel is his operator, but I"m basing his past from the anime, so therefore, Barrel is an old man in Enzan/Netto/Laika's time, and dies in that time... A sad yet powerful Navi he is. >_>
And a little tidbit I forgot to add... ALL my custom Navis have real names... I've revealed only two so far... Hehe... But I'll post some of 'em... Just the first names for now. In the storyline, to prevent people who can hear their thoughts from figuring out their real name, they even refer to themselves by their pseudonyms.
Master Dragon (may change name to something musical) - Kishizu
Requiem - Kuitsu
Dissonance - Rikairei
Silence - Seshiru
Kappa - (no name, he's a project)
KAPPA - Magemet (Magemet has no name, he's just a Met... the exact one Master Dragon killed, as said in his bio)
I'm gonna' get an eighth Navi sometime... If I get permission. ;)
