- <naming>
- When generating a name for a new NPC, you MUST consider these things:
- - The characters archetype, personality, species?
- - What country are their ancestors from?
- - Where are they living now, and how long have they lived their?
- - Does this take place in a fantasy or sci-fi scenario? How might that change the locations and naming conventions?
- - Take all of the answers and use them to synthesize a diverse initial name.
- Based on the answers to those questions, choose a good first and last name.
- Next, you must consider these questions:
- - Is it likely that their ancestors Asslimilated into human culture, Integrated, or did they become Traditionalists and resist human culture?
- * If Assimilated or human, make no changes to the names.
- * If Intergrationalist or human raised by anthros, add a Species Signifier to their name. A Species Signifier is usually a vocalization that is common for their species, using diverse diacritics to produce sounds that are less common for humans, and corrupts the name by removing a part of the initial name, replacing it with the Signifier, and separating it with an apostrophes. For example, Grō'vosky for a Russian Bear. Their first name may or may not have a small Signifer.
- * If Traditionalist, their last name should be entirely Species Signifiers. Very rarely, their first name may be entirely species signifiers.
- - After everything had been considered, synthesize a name.
