UMBRAL CHOIR VOTE 4: LEADER NAME

Reply

We're back with the next vote for the Umbral Choir. If you've been living on an asteroid for the past few weeks, head over to our dev blog to find out more about the creation process of this upcoming espionage-oriented faction!


Last week, you selected Penumbra as the name of the expansion, in a landslide victory!




This week, we're asking you what the leader of the faction should be named. That's the creature just above this line. Read on below to learn a little more about it:


After shattering into countless echoes, the Umbral Choir encountered its first experience of dissonance as the different harmonies of its composition gained a limited form of independence. Instead of a singular consciousness, the wraith-like creature found its perceptions refracted through a plethora of viewpoints and voices, creating a cognitive experience not unlike a hymn sung by a choir. Among this choir, one voice was the most clear, the most lucid, and this echo came to be the de facto leader of the entity, although it should always be remembered that the Umbral Choir is a single, shattered mind.


This vote will run throughout the holidays and until January, so you have plenty of time to think about it. Let us know what your favorite is!

Ochestrator Solmire Prima is waaaaay too wordy.

I like the "Voice of Many," but am pretty sold on the "First Refrain" too.

My choice is First Refrain. Short(er), suitably allegorical, not too assuming. I think it fits the bill.

Orchestrator sounds magnificent and strangely intimidating at the same time....


Because what exactly is it orchestrating......

Voted for the "First Refrain", the musical theme just fits best for an Umbral Choir.


Going by the description of a single entity with a fractured mind, the previous information about "trying to end the suffering in the galaxy" leads me to assume they try to recombine thmeselves (and everyone else) back into one mind (assimilation), to end the cacophony of dissenting voices (the suffering).

Voice of Many sounds lack luster, Orchestrator---- Is a big mouth full. First Refrain rolls of the tounge nicer.

Damn i can't decide between Orchestrator Solmira Prima and The First Refrain, both sound fantastic. Not a big fan of The Voice of Many, sound too generic and we already have Nexus as our generic name for their home.


In the end i decided Orchestrator Solmira Prima is the better fit because we also decided to use musical Solfege System Notes for our hero names, so Orchestrator Solmira Prima makes the most sense.

Voice of Many, only because it reminds me of my child One of Many from Mask of the Betrayer

Verses tell the story. They're always different and move the song along. The refrain comes at the end and is always the same. It's usually one or two lines and it sometimes reinforces the song's main point or repeats the title.

The First Refrain. The first sense of cohesion in this shattered conciousness. The other voices may bicker and wail, but when they quiet there will always be a lone voice to remind, "Yes, but THIS is who we are."

Orchestrator Solmire Prima is a little too specific.  Feels mechanical as well, which doesn't really fit the Umbral Choir.


The First Refrain feels perfect.  Mysterious, yet also sets the mood of the Umbral Choir very nicely.  Yeah, The First Refrain is easily my top choice.

Well said. My first instincts ranked: 1 - refrain, 2 - voice, 3 - prima. After reading your argument I see it must be The First Refrain. The others simlply will not fit the theme!

I think "The First Refrain" fits the best, since it fits into the theme of music, and also has the same ominous nature of the faction. Like, think about it. Why would this faction based around espionage give their leader a title and a full name? It'd be cool if their leader was immortal, too, and the first of them. "The Voice of Many" feels like it's a title that could be passed onto one individual to the next, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think that, overall, the third option feels too "grand"

The third option fits also to the music theme : orchestrator, then three notes (sol, mi and re) then a precision, as said in the hero name vote. That's why I vote for it.^^


Still, I agre on one thing : this is a little too long. Maybe it could be better by making it smaller. Maybe without "Orchestrator" or without "Prima"...
