Janus...

[AuraTwilight]

...Is named after the Greek God of Doorways and Passages. Relevance to Magus's character? Discuss!

[Burning Zeppelin]

Janus was frequently used to symbolize change and transitions such as the progression of past to future, of one condition to another, of one vision to another, and of one universe to another. Hence, Janus was worshipped at the beginnings of the harvest and planting times, as well as marriages, births and other beginnings. He was representative of the middle ground between barbarity and civilization, rural country and urban cities, and youth and adulthood.

Janus, the God of Gates and Passages...IN WIKIPEDIA!

A nice Woosleyism...but I still think Jaki sounds cooler.

Woolsyesim? Does that mean translation by him? If so, yes

[Radical_Dreamer]

It's an appropriate name. First, we have the dichotomy between the past, Janus Zeal, who is for all intenets powerless, with the future, Magus, whos power is almost without parallel. Then we have the dichotomy between Magus, who is fixated on the past,  and the Prophet, who is fixated on the future (relatively). Yeah, I'd say it's appropriate. The Wiki article indicating that Janus was worshipped for harvests correlates nicely with the scythe, which is a tool used for harvesting.

Doreen means gift in greek as well

Zeal, in greek mythology, used to mean that you were possessed by the Greek Gods.

Hmm...remind anyone of something?

Is that so? Because the term Zealot comes from Jewish warriors who defended Jerusalem from the Romans.

Maybe it came from both. I heard there is some god or something called something like Sephiroth. Then there is zephyr and of course the Seraphim.

Sephiroth in hebrew means "wanna be god" i think

[AuraTwilight]

No, Sephiroth in the Kabballah represents the ten emanations, or virtues, God released into the world. Acheiving all ten is supposed to make you like Buddah.

Another Woosleyism...I prefer her original name: Dream. Makes more sense...*shrugs*

I thought Doreen and Dream were the same stuff in Japanese (like Chrono and Crono, or Jill and Zeal)?

[V_Translanka]

Uh, but Doreen was the Woosley English translation name...>_>

[Chrono'99]

I mean, some people could argue that her name was always meant to be spelt "Doreen" (being a pun, like those in Dragon Ball).
