Hey there! So I'm not technically an author yet as I have not posted anything but I've had a spark of inspiration and really want to write a story based on some ideas I've had for a while now. thing is I REALLY struggle to come up with character names and thought "hey! why don't I just ask some people who actually write stuff already?" so that's why I'm here.
course I should give a rundown of the story and characters I need names for. so plan is that the story will follow a 4 person lesbian polycule as they deal with all sorts of supernatural stuff in a fictional version of mostly modern-day, mostly western america-ish place. its got a bit of sci-fi a bit of fantasy but its still modern day.
Now for the characters! gonna give SUPER short notes on potentially useful info. Also I'd like it if the names are relatively normal for a modern-day setting as opposed to cool-but-not-setting-appropriate names
The first character I already have a name for. Her name is Annabelle, and she is confident and pretty emotionally stable and happy most of the time. she is autistic but in a very extroverted way. mostly she is just deeeeeply in love with magic and the supernatural. she spends most of her free time looking into it or talking about it. she is the most social of the group but not the most socially aware. she does fine but its still kinda out of her areas of expertise. she makes up for that with enthusiasm.
The second character is a trans girl who is a witch! She is quite a bit more insecure than Anna but they have known each other for a while. she is smarter than she gives herself credit for. i also want to mix in a teeny-tiny bit of mean-ness to her. like she spends a bit too much time online and thinks of herself as a bit edgy but is too nervous and mostly too meek to commit. she feels conflicted by this because on one hand she doesn't actually want to be an asshole but on the other she feels like she isn't capable of standing up for herself properly. Some working names are May and April, but I feel like something's missing.
The third character is a demi-girl-but-mostly-girl (by her description) who is also technically a demi-god, which, in this universe, isn't a super grandious thing but is also not known by most people. they are very rare but the amount of power this gets you varys and she got on the lower end. her god-parent is the god of darkness (how edgy! :> ) except its not nearly as edgy as it sounds (aww :< ). basically this god centers around hidden things and finding sanctuary in privacy. its got a whole "my followers will find safety under the cover of night and shadow where they cannot be harmed by those that rely on light to see" thing going on. ANYWAY so this character ends up spending most of her life involved in crime in one way or another due to her unique talents as granted by her god-mom. shes a bit edgy (yay :>) but mostly just yearns for an opportunity to be genuine and vulnerable around someone without worrying about being hurt or taken advantage on without compromising the identity she spent so long constructing. (she also likes knives). she is also incredibly socially clever. she can talk circles around most people and is really good at reading them. shes smart in a cunning way as opposed to a booksmart kinda way. some WIP names are Shen and Demi.
the forth character is someone who has powers that are a part of a unique sub-category of powers that are rare and significant. these people are called revenants due to the fact that their powerset comes with a one-time get-outta-death-free card. This tends to either make their abilities appear or if they were already present they get a permanent boost. in her case she has this sick battle-axe that she can make semi-incorporeal so it like goes through shit. it doesn't sound that strong but because of some in-universe mechanics and some of the special revenant buffs its actually a pretty strong ability. anyway, she is pretty quiet and mostly keeps to herself. she doesn't talk a lot but likes being around people. she becomes much more aggressive when she is fighting but in a focused, professional way. very passionate but used to people being weired/ creeped out by her. she is also autistic. only working name is ray (short for rachel) but idk.
maybe this is too much info, maybe not enough idk. any suggestions (or advice in general, frankly) would be appreciated!!!
P.S. don't expect me to release anything soon, I have like 0 experience.
