CCPlease let us get a nickname or some sort of alt name

Alright here’s mine with some backstory as well as corp lore.

After I’ve tried the F2P EVE and it proved to me that I will spend more time on it than just trying it out I’ve decided to do more than just play the game hence I’ve created a related steam group, planned to have guides, giveaways, events and whatnot so was logical to create a corp that will be the public image of all this and that also required a CEO of course.

Basically the same but just for reference:

So the first was naming the corp. After some thinking came to the idea to name it Kherub Angels and have it lore-wise being a semi-legal branch of the Angel Cartel.

They have various branches according to EVE lore as the Archangels, Guardian Angels, Salvation Angels, Dominations and importantly they can have others set up as well.

Other Divisions

From time to time the cartel finds it convenient to set up other divisions for specific purposes. These divisions may or may not have formal names, but in general they report directly to the Dominations. It is possible that such divisions are either functionally named or perhaps are known by the name of their leader. Since many of these divisions are engaged in covert activity, it is likely that many are simply given code names.

So it was fitting to have this new corp being an Angel Cartel division and Kherub Angels seemed fitting.

The “Kherub” part is a different spelling of the word Cherub aka Cherubim. Which is also the name of the baby / child angels in art:

And the way I envision them in case of our corp as depicted in the original classic Fallout in relation to the BoS:


(Yes that’s the full size image, games back in the day had lower resolutions. :stuck_out_tongue: )

So cherubs wielding rocket launchers, grenade launchers, dual-wielding SMGs and such. :wink: You can quickly come up with EVE equivalents but I won’t bother, you get the point.

It also produces the corp ticker [KH.AN] or Khan which is a neat feature.


The Angel Cartel lore also has inclusiveness as part of it which was also a good feature I preferred for my corp which I’ve planned to be open to anyone.

Demographics

Renegade Amarr and escaped Minmatar were amongst the first to join the ranks of the Angel Cartel and have always been prominent within it, but just as Curse has always had the interest of all the races so has the Cartel never discriminated in its recruitment. This has helped them to become the largest and most powerful criminal organization within New Eden, a status which its members wield with pride.

So the corp name and background / lore was decided so all good. Now needed a name for the CEO so as the corp is a sort of angelic cohort it seemed fitting to have the leader named after an archangel and Uriel had a good sounding name.

He is well known in the Russian Orthodox tradition (which considers him to be one of the seven major archangels) and recognized in the Anglican Church as the 4th archangel. He is also well known in European esoteric medieval literature. Uriel is also known as a master of knowledge and archangel of wisdom.

All sounds good so seemed like a proper name. Though wanted to make it more original and unique than just plain “Uriel” so added the “the Flame” based on the tradition of the archangel and its name:

Uriel /ˈjʊəriəl/ or Auriel (Hebrew: אוּרִיאֵל ʾŪrīʾēl, “Flame of God[5][6]” or “El/God is my flame[7][8]”; Greek: Οὐριήλ Oúriēl; Coptic: ⲟⲩⲣⲓⲏⲗ Ouriēl;[9] Italian: Uriele;[10] Geʽez and Amharic: ዑራኤል ʿUraʾēl[11] or ዑርኤል ʿUriʾēl)

So that’s how I came up with this CEO alt’s name.
