Looking for Skilled Individuals of the Suspicious Kind...

I thought of that, but thought it was cliche and nobady would like it. If you guys think thats a good name, we'll use it.

And... alright, the rank idea is good. Were still in development stage so suggestions on anything are welcome people.

Well i think the NightHawks is a little cliche myself, how about something like Death Heralds?

Japanese it up.

The Yakuza.

[Gossamer]

"The term Yakuza comes from a Japanese game, Oicho-Kabu (played with hanafuda or kabufuda cards). The worst hand in the game is a set of eight, nine and three. In traditional Japanese forms of counting, these numbers are called Ya, Ku and Sa, thus the origin of the word yakuza. The yakuza took this name because the Ya-Ku-Za hand requires the most skill (at judging opponents, etc.) and, obviously, the best luck in order to win. The name was also used because it signified bad fortune, presumably for anyone who went up against the group."

From the Wikipedia...

And... The Yakuza is a 1974 movie. Because this term is a movie title and is actually the term used for organized crime (and a specific crime syndicate) in Japan I would strongly discourage you from using this as an organization in Mizahar. We are striving for all original, and if your group became big enough and hangs around long enough to merit a wiki entry, it would not be allowed under our naming rules and originality rules which to me seems a shame. But the name rules are there for a specific reason.

The same goes for Nighthawks, which is a Jennifer Robinson merc group which had a lot of merc assassins in them.

Instead of combing the web for a 'name' why don't you guys MAKE ONE UP THAT IS ORIGINAL and not used anywhere else (goggle it to be sure)? You can explain the word origins, make it mean something neat perhaps in the Ancient Tongue... and not angst over this like you guys seem to be doing.

Might I recommend a name generator?

Good Luck.

Sorry, was in a very Jap mood

[Orion Lorgan]

Hmmm maybe the Djunn or Roza Syndicate?

Djunn means 'art, craft, that which is made by man' in the Ancient Tongue and Roza means 'death, end, termination, interruption' in the Ancient Tongue. That, or we can just find a really unique looking name on Rinkworks, which Ive finally been able to check out. While random, I like it.

Some I found on Rinkworks were the following:

Surod, Nudat, Duron, Rirale, Renoler, Loxila.... Lots we can choose from.

Also, we could always use some sort of Latin term, I've found they can be very interesting if you find the right meaning...

[Slade]

Actually, Roza Syndicate sounds pretty good.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ i agree with post above

[Orion Lorgan]

Alright then, thats the name. And its final!!!

[Gossamer]

Finally, something I think everyone can wholeheartedly approve of. Grats guys.

Now, if I may be so bold... as a storyteller its my job to guide and nudge you. Can I nudge you guys into a thread where you guys meet, and start plotting some of the organization in character? I'd be glad to lead you guys along to help out... even give you a benefactor to help fund you a bit... in exchange for a few favors. Leave it to me to explain how you all get together.... and why your in the same place at the same time!

In anticipation of a 'YEA!' I'll go ahead and post something tonight with your name in it.
