I dare you to look up Alikchi on Google.
I'll give 2 invisobucks to anyone who figures out what it means.

yeah, it might be the translation then. Wouldn't it be that damn creature on Hyperion everybody seems to be after?

Pretty much, yes.  Tall, four armed and spiky.

Maybe he read it in difrant language... Maybe "shrike" was there something else... maybe it was "goofy d00d" or "stinky ass"...

Do you really want to continue this to its inevitable conclusion?

Grinche. Always thought it was a ridiculous name. Now I know why: it's not the true one, it's some name made up by a stinky translating dude. That's a french stuff changing cool names to dumb ones. Animes are plagued with that here.

Second paragaph.

[q]Condemned to death by Chancellor Sopot, six super-soldiers unite to save their country, vowing to overthrow Sopot using the unique powers that nano-technology has given them. Join the squad as Alias, a demolitions expert. Fight side-by-side with Molov, Repta, Shrike, Tangier, and Quill--each possessing unique attributes and specialties. Battle through diverse environments using vehicles, an arsenal of specialized weapons, and explosives in a mission to overthrow the government. Defeat Sopot and restore the honor of the Commonwealth! [/q]

They translated LOTR:FOTR to Estonian changeing every single name to something utterly stupid. There were 1-2 names left the same (Aragorn and Gandalf), the rest were changed to some stupidity from Estonian folklore. They went back to real names in The Two Towers, though.

Thank god I don't read anime

[Nico]

two names were changed in LOTR here: Frodo became frodon, and bilbo became bilbon. Gop wonder...
they translated names, too, like BagEnd ( but that is ok ).

Well, all LotR translations must follow the guidelines created by the Tolkien Institute - that means that there are name changes in most languages. In portuguese there were a lot of changes - like, Rivendell becomes Valfenda, Bag End becomes Bolsão, etc. - but all that is an imposition from the Institute. Tolkien wanted the books to sound authentic in any language, that's the reason for the, sometimes stupid sounding, translations.

Hmmm.

So they've taken Shrikes:

• Youth - Through FS
• Name - Through RF
• And THQ got his mind - Through Britneys Dance Studio

Poor, guy. Well, at least they can't get their hands on his innocence.

something similar happened in sweden, although it was made so bad so christopher tolkien refused to let silmarillion be translated if they didn't fire the original translator (who is dead now, thank you heavens)...

and umm... there's a city named after me. it's called Kode.

In LOTR? Or in reality? There's a Kobe, but I never heard of Kode.

Oh, and I thought it was JRR Tolkien, not Christopher.
