Hey, some more characters! These ones are interesting. [name_f]My[/name_f] main-main character is named Gwinmarius, and his best friends are commonly known as [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and Rabbit, but that’s not the full story. [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and Rabbit are actually named Barida and Baridus, because their parents couldn’t think of anything better. They got their nicknames (from Gwin) because of how confusing it was without them, and they originate from the way Rosie’s face gets red when she talks (which is frequently) and Rabbit’s skittish personality. However, they’re all set up as historical figures, which means that they all get interesting suffixes. Gwinmarius is known to history as Gwinmarius the Subtle, which originated a joke because [name_u]Gwin[/name_u] is about the opposite of subtle, but then just got worked into the history, so that it was quite the surprise for the 21st century human sorceress who stumbled upon Gwinmarius the Subtle’s far-from-subtle ghost. Rabbit’s name is pretty similar, since he’s called Baridus the [name_u]Fierce[/name_u], despite not being very fierce at all, and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] is Barida the Masterful, because she’s the one who wrote all of this down, so she gets a suffix she actually wanted. Oh, and also the sorceress, who’s basically me, because she has to be, because of the weird way my brain works. Her working name is [name_f]Katriona[/name_f], although I’m open to suggestions.

It’s an idea I’m not super proud of, but it’s unique. It’s basically a modern zombie-apocalypse story, with a twist of horses and romance.
[name_f]My[/name_f] main characters include a sibset I’m particularly proud of: [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] ā€œCatā€, [name_u]Cohen[/name_u], [name_f]Carly[/name_f], and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] ā€œLottieā€. There’s also [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] ā€œCaliā€ and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]. After I came up with the characters, and it was too late to change their names, I realized they all start with C.
Oh well.

I’m pretty proud of the names of my main characters in my Wings of [name_u]Fire[/name_u] fanfic:

[name_f]Esperance[/name_f], half NightWing, half SeaWing-RainWing, mind reader, Farsinger’s guardian
[name_f]Silhouette[/name_f], IceWing-NightWing (ā€œcold and dark like my soulā€), seer, SeaWing queen consort
Whalesong, queen of the SeaWings, secretly an animus, unknowingly half SandWing
Farsinger, full NightWing, thrice moonborn and an animus with no memory of her early life

Also my other Wings of [name_u]Fire[/name_u] fanfic, featuring [name_f]Esperance[/name_f] as a younger dragon as well as several dragons whose names I didn’t come up with. The villains are a group called the JaggedWings, one dragon from each tribe, and my sister and I came up with the names together (she did [name_u]Gull[/name_u], [name_u]Midnight[/name_u], Cactus and [name_f]Agate[/name_f] [I originally called her Citrine]):

Delve, MudWing, fireproof scales, the muscle of the group, you don’t want to meet him in a dark alley because he will probably throw you in prison for disobedience via brute force
[name_u]Gull[/name_u], SeaWing, animus, the prowling magical enforcer, you don’t want to meet him in a dark alley because he will kidnap you with magic and force your family to pay a hefty ransom
[name_f]Chrysalis[/name_f], RainWing, terrifyingly stealthy exiled assassin, you don’t want to meet them in a dark alley because they will either kill you, or stalk you to your home and then kill you and your family
[name_u]Midnight[/name_u], NightWing, powerful seer, the strategist, you don’t want to meet her in a dark alley because she will stay hidden, figure out how to capture you, then do that and throw you in prison
Cactus, SandWing, the group’s bubbly, funny, and far-from-sane negotiator, you don’t want to meet her in a dark alley because she will kill you, just stabby-tail-bye-bye and there you go
[name_f]Agate[/name_f], SkyWing, the leader and main planner of the group, you don’t want to meet her in a dark alley because she will throw you in prison, question you, probably torture you, and then kill you
Foggy, IceWing, medic, actually a spy, secretly heals prisoners, you would be fine if you met him in a dark alley

Also from that story there’s Frigid (SeaWing-IceWing) and his half-brother Seedpod (SeaWing-MudWing), who have the misfortune of being Gull’s children, and [name_f]Silhouette[/name_f] and Whalesong (currently my OC OTP) have a small part as well. Other WoF OCs include Shining (RainWing), Jewelflight (SkyWing-NightWing), and Parraya (IceWing).

Sorry if that was info overload! I’m just very happy with these names (and characters) lol. Anyone have feedback? I would appreciate that! Bonus: I just came up with a (probably fantasy) sibset while watching movie credits: [name_f]Stefanie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] Caspyr.

Summary

A world I’ve been building where there’s monsters and magic, standard fantasy, but there’s magic that comes from crystals implanted in the hands or body that allow ease to hold magic since the crystal becomes a second heart, having it’s own veins that the body attaches to it, allowing tiny crystal shards of magic to circulate within the body. Because the magic is so volatile often the children of crystal holders have a higher success rate of inhabiting a crystals because their parents shards are already within. This has lead to ā€œnobilityā€ being bred out of who has the best chance to hold crystals, often past heroes whom showed success with them. This has led to the kingdom scientist expirementing on the nobility in secret alongside civilians, often risky and painful. This all to fight the monsters that appear.

Alphyn [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]: ā€œLord Arcadiaā€ What’s left of the nobles in the [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] territory, rumored by it’s citizen that he died, and the orders are being carried out by someone else using his name because he never seems to appear in public after his parents and the grown ups left for war at 15. The children do not even know what him and his family looked like it’s been so long…

Alphyn used to be a crystaled prodigy fighting monsters, that his tales were heard all around the land with the flick of a hat and swoop of a cape…in a book by his cousin. Now perceived to be a storybook hero. He was a great hero a young noble son of 14, with a purple crystal that shot ā€œglassā€ embeded with magic, he could walk on it or break into a burst of magic and firey shards. [name_m]Even[/name_m] growing his own crystal swords and spears. He was arrogant and reckless until one day he fought a big monster that ripped off his arm with the crystal and so forth the veins that connected to it. The temple he was in crashed down and paralyzed him as he was on the ground trying to fish his crystal pieces out of his servered arm. Because he went in on his own no one was able to help him until nightfall.

Now 23 years old he looks nary a wizard; staying in his bed for years, when he finally went out the only clothing that could fit were those that the servants left behind.
When a crystal is broken or detached from the body; without the main crystal attached and circulating the veins, the crystals within his blood are now growing without a main one to regulate. He’s had crystals pierce through him, skin and thoat, slowly dying. Yet he’s still Alphyn [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], a normal crystal holder would have already died long ago. Wrapped in bandages, the crystals in him have enough power to make him float and teleport, he directed it too.
With a broken off purple blade in hand he now dedicates most of his time at home to researching how to put back together his crystal.
[name_m]Even[/name_m] when he does go out they think he’s a ghost.

[name_m]Alphie[/name_m] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]: [name_m]Born[/name_m] after Alphyn’s detriment. 9 years old; yellow crystal; generic, even cartoony star covered wizard costume; the one he’ll go outside for to protect; the next heir, able to be lord.

Alphyn [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] and [name_m]Alphie[/name_m] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], wizard brothers. That was really really long sorry if it’s too dark.
There weren’t even many names, the cousin is Alfalfa by the way. (^-^;

So far, for a jumble of fairytale retellings:

[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] [name_m]Whittaker[/name_m] (Snow White)
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] (Cinderella)
[name_u]Rune[/name_u] [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] (Rapunzel)
[name_u]Sorrel[/name_u] (Little [name_u]Red[/name_u] Riding Hood)
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] [name_m]Venn[/name_m] (Aspen’s stepmother, the previous [name_u]Snow[/name_u] White)
[name_m]Kane[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_f]Enid[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], [name_f]Jenna[/name_f] and [name_m]Marvin[/name_m] (representing the seven dwarves, although they’re seven adults who live in a house in the woods, not literal dwarves… in any sense of the word.)

I’m still working on names for Aspen’s ā€˜prince’, [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] probably won’t actually have a princess or prince but I haven’t decided that yet, the outcome for [name_u]Rune[/name_u] is unknown at the moment, and [name_u]Sorrel[/name_u] doesn’t really need a love interest. And Elliot’s fairy godmother is pretty much just [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], while his stepmother and stepsisters probably won’t be all that hard to name. As well as the other minor characters in these tales.

wow that’s a lot

I’m doing something with elemental powers at the moment, currently they’re called [name_f]Alizeh[/name_f] ā€œLiziā€ [name_m]Pembroke[/name_m], [name_u]Sierra[/name_u] Fissure, [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_m]King[/name_m], and [name_f]Fiora[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u] (bet you can’t guess who has what power. . .) but I’m looking for alternatives (about to make a post about that actually!)

I love the name [name_f]Marina[/name_f] <33

[name_f]Fiora[/name_f] is elegant and beautiful and I love the name [name_u]Sierra[/name_u] because it’s a fellow choir member’s name. [name_f]Alizeh[/name_f] is beautiful and fits perfectly with the last name.

[name_f]My[/name_f] sister and I decided to change [name_f]Solara[/name_f] and Luna’s names to [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Willow[/name_u]. We thought their parents, being a wizarding couple who live near a forest, would name their kids after trees or plants. We also added a younger sister to their family, [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] (nicknamed Saffy).
