It is someone that use to be ascended and left the ascended server. Deascending themselves making them a Daimon. You keep all your bonuses except the Ascended Blessing...

He chose to be a Daimon kind of early though, would have thought he would make fast ascensions to LG atleast... He can still do that though, just makes a new ascended account...

You cant anymore though, you have to wait 2 weeks inbetween ascensions, which is kinda anoying...

IMO it should be called Daemon .. but its kinda stupid anyway, as a daemon is an evil ... maybe thats why admin called it diamon? still stupid ... we should search some cool religious title .... something half-god-like :p ...

Woah! No way, someone descended themselves. Can I make a topic every time I find a living god now too?



oh,u again :? :roll:

WTH is wrong if he made thread bout a new race that no one saw before? what? somebody forced u to read and reply? keep ur stupid comments for urself next time....


You again too? No way hiding in purg? Didn't see that coming. But back on topic, I suppose the AG thing occurred too. Though at first glance I thought this was about the fact there are daimons rather than actually finding them. So, I apologize for being so harsh Pullin.

Could the name (while not an exact fit) be a reference to the Samurai that have 'fallen' from the duties fit to such a honourable warrior (and all the work they had previously done) and now wander the lands without a realm to protect?

You falsly equate intelligence with spelling. There are those who struggle at spelling, and it is not polite nor necessary to point out such problems.

I think Demi God would be a more fitting title.

Or perhaps as people said about leaving the ascended title there, rather than putting former infront, it would just be "Demi God of the AJNA" or some such. And keep diamon as the race :P

whichever.

they're called Ronin

see robert deniro's movie, its kickass.


As for Demi God

why not something like Lucifer of the AJNA
or something relating to hell? give the game some spice

(heck, lets get EVIL RACES in the game next!)

I cant tell if thats sincere or sarcastic :?

Eitherway, Demi gods are usually like mortal gods are they not? which makes sence, as with keeping the ascended bonus's you still have the power you had as a god, but you are no longer one, and are back to being mortal.

I thought the name rather appropriate, and the spelling is correct.

Daimon definition by Alan G. Hefner

Daimon is the Greek derivative for the term demon. In this sense the term “demon” means “replete with knowledge.” The ancient Greeks thought there were good and bad demons called ‘eudemons’ and ‘cacodemons.’ The term ‘daimon’ means “divine power,” “fate” or “god.” Daimons, in Greek mythology, included deified heroes. They were considered intermediary spirits between men and the gods. Good daimons were considered to be guardian spirits, giving guidance and protection to the ones they watched over. Bad daimons led people astray. Socrates said he had a life-time daimon that always warned him of danger and bad judgment, but never directed his actions. He said his daimon was more accurate than omens of either watching the flights or reading the entrails of birds, which were two respected forms of divination of the time.
