Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: Dystopian, [name_f]Fantasy[/name_f]
Time Period/Location: Modern-day, set on a chain of (non-existant) islands near the [name_u]North[/name_u] Pole.
Brief Plot: Basically, when you are born, namemakers come up with a name for you. They are able to see into the future a bit and name you according to the power you will develop. When you turn a certain age (this varies from person to person depending on the strength of their power), you develop your power. The government keeps a close eye on those who do not develop their power by their tenth birthday. The main character, [name_f]Thana[/name_f] (meaning death), develops her power at age fourteen.
Character 1
Character Description: A rather muscular fellow with light brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a fairly serious expression most of the time. Stands at about 5’10”. Age 49. He developed his power at age 10. He is very loyal and caring, but doesn’t show a whole lot of affection, per se.
Who named the character: The namemakers
Immediate Family: [name_f]Thana[/name_f], [name_f]Viera[/name_f] (his two daughters), and his wife.
Already Considered: [name_m]Warner[/name_m] (meaning army).
[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: Anything with a weak or otherwise irrelevant meaning.
Anything [name_f]Else[/name_f]: I would like his name to mean something along the lines of warrior, army, or protector. I don’t feel like [name_m]Warner[/name_m] really fits this character.
[name_m]Power[/name_m]: Protection - the ability to protect those he loves when they are in danger. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS DEATH. It just means he generally wins battles, whether it’s getting the other side to forfeit/surrender, or injure someone so that they can’t continue. He rarely has to kill.
Character 2
Character Description: A skinny, frail, pale woman of around 45, she stands at 5’4”. She has wispy, incredibly thin and tangled red hair that’s clearly faded from its original color. Her eyes are a pale blue, and slightly wild. She is nice, but distant, and rarely pays attention to anything or anyone. She’s got her head in the clouds and seems to be in her own world most of the time. Her personality has been significantly changed by watching her power affect others.
Who named the character: The namemakers
Immediate Family: [name_f]Thana[/name_f], [name_f]Viera[/name_f] (her daughters), and her husband.
Already Considered: [name_f]Tempest[/name_f] (meaning turbulent, stormy. I think the meaning is okay for this character, but it has a harsh sound and I don’t think it fits her well), [name_f]Diona[/name_f] (As in [name_m]Dionysus[/name_m], Greek god of insanity. However, on Nameberry it is listed as a variant of [name_f]Dionne[/name_f], which has the meaning divine. I do like the sound of it for her though).
[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: Anything with a subdued or soft meaning.
Anything [name_f]Else[/name_f]: I would like her name to have a harsh (related to crazy or insane) meaning, but a softish sound, if that’s possible.
[name_m]Power[/name_m]: Insanity - the ability to drive anyone insane (like, hearing voices, needs to be put in a mental hospital insane. Not insanely in love.)
NOTE: For both of these characters, I’m looking for something a bit on the uncommon side. And meaning is, if you couldn’t already tell, VERY important. So please list the meaning of the name along with the name.
Thank you.
