Name Rubi-Ka's Suns Contest

[CarLBanks]

Yellow Sun: Sular (because the sun bring solar heat so it's sun and solar combined)

Blue Sun: Poseidon (because it's blue and poesidon was sun of a blue sea)

[enrima]

Ok lets stay classical, lets dig up the grec divinities.

yellow sun : Démeter, divinity of the cultivated nature
blue sun : Artémis, divinity of the wild nature

Both female godesses. As for the ancient cultures (celtic by example), where the sun had a female gender.

Hm...Uberus Major and Yxxilus Minor.

Er, no....Pwnz and j00

yeah...

(very good ideas in this thread so far, I like this)

[UwensBack]

I protest any usage of yxxil in the naming of anything. Yxxil is a punk. I'm the REAL evil deity.

To pay homage to Earth I used one of the oldest Earth languages to name our suns—Latin.

For the yellow sun

animus
For its energetic color, I chose "animus." It means courage, vivacity, bravery, will, spirit, soul. Regardless of factions or guilds, these elements can be found and should be cherished and praised. This word has also evolved into the English language and can be used to mean a feeling of ill will or animosity. This is an excellent contrast for our planet's struggle. Amidst all bravery and courage, we have plenty of animosity. Even if one day our struggle ends, we will still have our sun to remind us of the Notum War.

For the blue sun

amicus
For its serene and peaceful color, I chose "amicus." It is a Latin word that means friend, comrade or harmony between parties. With all the struggle happening on our planet (signified by Animus), what really matters? Your friends and comrade. The true ones will be there for you when you need them. When you are away from them, you can gaze into Amicus and not feel alone.

Idea number 1

Yellow Sun: Daedelus
Blue Sun: Icarus

This father-son team is from an ancient Greek story involving the the labyrinth of the Minotaur, Daedelus designed the labyrinth I think. Anyway, to escape the island of Crete, Daedelus and his son Icarus flew through the sky on wings made of wax and feathers that Daedelus designed. (Icarus was a fool and flew to close to the sun, his wax wings melted and he fell into the ocean to his death. Not that that has anything to do with anything, really)

Idea number 2

Yellow Sun: Rubi
Blue Sun: Ka

Wouldn't it make sense that the planet between the suns Rubi and Ka would be named "Rubi-Ka?"

Nope, possibly because Rubi-Ka stands for Red and Dry. Of course gven the amount of rain we get in Rome, the 'dry' bit seems like a sick joke.

Come up north. There's more dry than you shake a bucket of water at! Because all the water would be immediately soaked up in the sand....

[Duzytato]

Yellow Sun: Mir ((Russian word, meaning "Peace"

Blue Sun: Blitzkrieg ((German word, meaning "war conducted with great speed and force"))

Erm, no thanks. You can keep the North. I am sure it's very, erm, beautiful in own dry and barren sort of way.

Yellow Sun = Citrine
Blue Sun = Lapis

Citrine - is a yellow stone associated with "the sun". This stone has properties relating to personal power, creativity, and intelligent decisiveness. This is the energy that enhances the physical body and stimulates menal focus and endurance. If we were to "seek" the energies of this "sun of Rubi-Ka", these would be the properties that would best relate to most characters.

Lapis - is a blue stone said to have existed before "time was born", assisting one in gaining admission to the domain of the unknown mysteries of sacred texts and enhancing wisdom to understand the information. It further allows one to gain access to and explore the esoteric planetary knowledge. If we were to "seek" the energies of this "sun of Rubi-Ka", the properties would be the power that we would thrive on, as we seek to learn all there is to know about our beloved planet.

That was kind of my point...

[Jaesic]

In the mythological variations of Egypt, the god Ra-Atum was the aspect of creative force, symbolically represented by the sun. This name comes from the combination of two aspects of this creative force (each power or divinity carried five names which were eventually shortened or combined as the various tribes merged to create a greater kingdom)

Ra-Atum had two children (Shu and Tefnut) that had been seperated from him. He sent his eye (symbolically, his light... or the sun) to find them. While this eye was seeking the children, he replaced it with another. When the original eye returned, successful, with the children Ra-Atum wept tears of joy. These tears created humankind.

The eye was jealous for having been replaced and to placate it, Ra-Atum placed it in his forehead, from which it could rule the world. Historically, the second eye was considered to represent the the moon.

As the world of Rubi-Ka is remaniscent of the ancient lands of Egypt (harsh, hot, desert), it seems appropriate to tie in the mythology of that land (and we already have a pyramid).

There are also some interesting possibilities that tie in this story with the origin of humanity as is currently being revealed as we approach Shadowlands.

Finally, though we generally consider the traditional translation of "Rubi-Ka" as a description of the world: red and dry; the term ka is a very significant term in from the Egyptian myths as well. The ka is the spiritual counterpart or soul that had to be linked to the King's physical body before he could rule. Once linked with his ka, he was no longer considered mortal, but divine.

For these reasons, I suggest the following:
The yellow sun: Ra
The blue sun : Atum

Fistofpaper and Raveleet


hehe

I am terrible at naming things =p


seriously however, my entries would need to be:


Damon and Pythias (since we're going greek here, the two friends inseperable even under threat of execution)

[BlockAndLode]

Yellow : Vitae
Blue : Mortis

Life and Death, a very real cycle of Rubi-Ka, but one that never ends because of the resurrective capabilities of the planet itself...

The suns rise and fall as we rise and fall.
