Chapter 10 - The Name Selection

[ All initial requirements have been met, please select a character name to complete your initial character profile. 

Please note- You cannot change the character name once you have selected it, so please be cautious about the name you type in and please double check for all spelling errors

A keyboard appeared before Luke asking him to enter his gaming name as he began wondering as to what he should set it as. 

The game did warn him that he would not be given a second opportunity to change his name which is why Luke felt hesitant to write something stupid like 'Thanos' or 'Ninja' or some other generic name like those. 

He wanted a cool yet impactful name that people would remember after just reading once, however, he also wanted it to be original and not something that others were likely to copy. 

To ensure its uniqueness, he decided to combine two or more words to create a unique hybrid word that could fit his vision for his character profile. 

Since he was from the warrior class, he wanted the name to be brave and bold which is why he chose the word 'Lion', since it was the most noble yet powerful creature he could think of. 

To make it unique he decided to add the 'Sky' part of his surname 'SkyShard' to the word creating a hybrid name - 'SkyLion

Luke, satisfied with how SkyLion sounded, inputted it as his character name as instantly a character panel was generated.

A blue screen popped up in front of Luke as he inspected it in great detail. 

Growing up, he wasn't a big gamer since their family did not have the financial ability to support such idol hobbies, however, of what little games that he did play, he had seen this exact type of system screen pop up once or twice. 

With the average attribute for humans across all categories being 6, Luke realized that he was at least average or above average in all categories with physique and dexterity being his strongest suits. 

In retrospect it did make sense, since he used to lead an active lifestyle of a repairman back in Washington, where he needed to be nimble and precise with his hands while also requiring the necessary physique to support long hours of manual labor. 

What he was curious about was whether or not Leo also had dexterity and physique as his strongest attributes or was the evaluation criteria based on something else?

Just like Luke, Leo also stared intently at his own system panel.

Leo had brazenly chosen the name 'The Boss' for his character as after thinking about what to name himself for a while, he decided that he was fucked anyway with the unique class so he might as well own the persona completely and name himself something bold. 

He chose the name 'The Boss' because he chuckled at the thought of having a second rate thug run up to his boss and inform him/her that he had been roughed up by 'The Boss'. 

For some stupid reason just thinking about this scenario gave him some form of evil satisfaction as he felt very content with his system name. 

Apart from the general stat panel, he had the special option of editing his attribute panel for others to see because of his unique title, however, he chose not to exercise that option without having sufficient knowledge about the game mechanics first. 

Since he was going to be forced to act, he was at least going to be a well informed trickery artist and not a dumb fool who was easy to spot and while he had a much better overall stat panel than Luke, with intelligence and dexterity being in the 'elite' category, unlike Luke, Leo did not feel satisfied with his stat panel at all. 

In his mind, Leo felt that since he had scored so well on the reflex and knife test he should have gotten a better evaluation, however, it did not occur to him that the evaluation criteria might not have been the initial test. 

Nonetheless, he was not given much time to brood over it either as after a minute of his system panel being generated, he got another system notification that announced the start of the game.
