just realized i never posted my rescue team character redesigns oops

ninetales: shiloh (they/them)

-reworked to be a snowdrift (alolan) ninetales because it makes more sense with the climate they live in and spike chunsoft are COWARDS for not including the regional variants of pokemon in gens 1-3 that got one.

-actually only has 8 tails (lost one in the havoc encounter).

-@ all of the ties that bind heads out there: does their design remind you of anyone in particular? :3c

gengar: havoc (he/him)

-his real (human) name was alphard. he discarded this name and adopted havoc instead after his transformation, as he was hoping that it would make others want to avoid him entirely, as he felt like he didn't deserve any kindness or decency after what he had done. unfortunately for him, medicham and adder (ekans) are stupid and like him. he starts using alphard again after tureis is saved.

-he has a permanent frostbite scar on his right hand from when he grabbed shiloh.

-team meanies fully disbands after tureis' rescue and gengar decides to spend his time giving back to the community in pokemon square for forgiving him. he pretty much becomes team fable's biggest fan and hypes up mayar and turies after she joins (newlin.....exists), not that he will ever admit it.

-after the tureis rescue, mayar tells alphard that regardless of what he's done in the past he's still deserving of love and compassion and that he's not a bad pokemon. alphard becomes smitten with her after that (<- guy that is desparate for companionship). mayar thinks that he's funny and forgives him for the whole "sending a violent mob after her and newlin" thing, and they hookup eventually. everybody in town (especially newlin) hates it but they're still supportive.

-other than newlin he becomes the most active participant in team fable's research into mega evolution when their focus shifts over to that.

gardevoir: tureis (she/her)

-joins team fable for a few years before eventually joining team charm after meeting lopunny. the switch from rescuing to exploring excites her, especially since she's been unable to go anywhere for years. mayar and newlin are very supportive of this. medicham also joins in hopes of getting stronger by travelling to make up for fainting in wish cave.

-being trapped took a heavy toll on her physical body that left her very ill for a long time. she couldn't do much without getting weak and winded, and was severely underweight upon being freed. everyone was supportive of her just doing what she can while part of the team (though she was barred from partaking in mega evolution research due to being a massive strain on the body and could be lethal in her condition). she's much healthier as of joining team charm, which is her main motivation for getting out there and travelling.

-there is a 30ish year gap between rt and explorers in my lore, so by the time she appears in explorers she's in her late 50s/early 60s. still kicking it!

-first image is her appearance in rt, second image is her appearance in explorers

-never recovers her memories of alphard but, for reasons she can't describe, she feels a strong kinship with him. the two become good friends.

Allan finally made it to makeup, Leilani was very happy to see him, and as always had a lot of gossip to share with him while she worked. Leilani: Thank gods you came back; I couldn't stand to see Fabian sad for you not being here.

Leilani: He's a big fan of yours, the number one, if you ask me. He might even have a crush on you. Allan: You think? Leilani: Yeah! Now, it's one thing to be a fan, quite another to fall for you, a guy who's older than him, married, and already super famous.

Allan: First off, I'm not much older than him; second, I'm not super famous. Leilani: Oh, yes you are. Allan: One Star Accolade, and I'm suddenly Alain Delon? Leilani: You may not be Alain, but you're ALLAN WILSON. Allan: Yeah, big deal.

Logan Malzac

He’s very close to his little half-brother even if Célian is the daddy's-little-boy.

He prefers his mother-in-law to his own parents.

His father was arrested by the police before his eyes when he was 9.

He's terrible at his school work except simlish. The day when his simlish teacher read his writing in front of the whole class was the best of his life and his only source of pride.

His two best friends, Lou and Juju, have a crush on him but he's not gay and he sees Juju as a sister.

Thank you !

meet the turei-rollins household

For as long as Korie Turei could remember, it was just him and his mother. And to him, everything was perfect! What more could he have asked for - he had a successful mother dedicated to him and her career, he is in a relationship with his childhood best friend, and he is on the way to becoming Valedictorian!

On the outside, Dr. Kelley Turei was living the perfect life. She is one of Oasis Springs's top OB-GYNs and also has a seemingly perfect son. But working with couples, first-time parents, and families made Kelley realize she was missing something - a partner to share her happiness with. 

And that was exactly what Kelley was thinking about when she accidentally bumped into Dr. Demetrius Rollins. It seemed like fate to Kelley. Except, Demetrius had planned this “accidental” bumping for weeks. You see, Demetrius noticed Kelley when she first took Korie to his Orthodontist office two years ago. Then, he quickly realizes that Kelley worked in the same medical plaza. For Demetrius, this was love at first sight. Now, he had to be sure that Kelley felt the same. 

And that's exactly what Kelley felt! Ever since they have been inseparable. Dating, going on trips, and introducing their children to each other. Everything was going well until Kelley realized that she was pregnant again - something she was not planning, especially at her age. Despite struggling to come to terms with the idea that she was going to be a mother again, she had Karson - too much elation for Demetrius and his daughter, Olive! 

Kelley and Demetrius got married quickly after Karson was born in Tartosa, with Karson and Olive in the wedding ceremony. This blended family couldn’t be happier!

hey i Know u doc

[eliaskew]

Hello! I understand that naming characters can be difficult, I also understand that when we create AU's in which a character is trans or hiding and need to create a deadname/fake name it can be a struggle. HOWEVER-

When it comes to naming Black OC's or giving characters like Sirius and Regulus genderbent/deadnames I will not take any excuses for things like "Siriana" and "Regina". That is about the only family in canon who already HAS a naming convention, and yes, I realise not all of them follow it. However most DO.

So! For your perusal, I have taken the liberty of spending two weeks of my life scrolling Wikipedia to find a list of constellations, star names and star nicknames that could be used instead! Please use them I beg of you.

As a helpful guide, any names already used in canon are starred. Any names that MIGHT be used in canon (it's been ages since I've read the actual books, forgive me if I've missed any) are double starred.

And without further ado I present...

What are the kids Cybertronain names, if you've come up them at all yet?

I havw been brainstorming them for

D a y s.

Let me preface this with: These are the names on their official records and documentation on Cybertron, by which they are recognized by others outside of Team Prime + Co.

By anyone else, they're referred to as such. But Team Prime, will always call them their human names.

That said, Optimus was in the end the one to name them, with a bit of help from their secondary caretakers.

They were given a traditional Cybertronian name, and a second name, which was tied to the stars, Elita's idea, as she remembered fondly when Optimus was Orion.

It seemed only natural then, that the children have names too, tied to the celestial.

Miko: Starpiercer | Bellatrix [Star within the Orion Constellation] 'Female Warrior'

Chosen for her instinct to fly, to soar, ans her ferocity to fight, Miko's name was picked fondly by the Wreckers and Optimus. Befitting her nature.

It did amuse everyone when it was pointed out that the star chosen, was that of the Orion Constellation on Earth.

A fitting coincidence.

Jack: Silverlane | Regulus [Star within Leo] 'Little King'

Arcee surprised everyone when her suggestion of Regulus was made, but none could argue against it, especially after reminding them of how Jack had years ago, been proven worthy to hold the Key to Vector Sigma, and find it.

Though this did result in the nickname of Little Prime for about a week as well.

Raf: Lumen Charge | Tureis [ Star within Carina] 'Little Shield'

Ratchet took to researching alongside Optimus with great care. Raf was his apprentice after all, and so, when they found both names for the youngest of the three, they agreed no names fit better than this.

Despite his stature, age, and more, Raf had always been their shield, protecting them in ways that only he could.

בריך רחמנא דסעיין לי מריש ועד סוף

Shalom Aleichem! One of the deepest aspects of Elul, Selichos, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and indeed the entirety of Tishrei is the reality of true Jewish unity, one which happens regardless of whether or not we are shomer shabbos, shomer kashrus, and shomer taharas hamishpocha… whether or not we are spiritually healthy, clean, and pure, or soiled, dirty, or, chas v’shalom, sick - and how much moreso those who are skirting the line between life and death every day of their lives. In Selichos we find many psukim which are normally written in singular (יהיו לרצון אמרי פי) and express them in plural (יהיו לרצון אמרי פינו) to indicate our unity with each other as we stand before Hashem.

This is expressed especially through the most sensitive times of Tishrei, on Rosh Hashana (where we beseech Hashem to accept OUR prayers in musaf), and on Yom Kippur (where we begin the entire davening by night with the words “with the permission of the heavenly court and the earthly court, we are henceforth allowed to pray alongside the transgressors”). It stands to reason that when it comes to anyone who is Jewish - either halachically Jewish by birth, or one who went through a proper orthodox conversion - it is more important than any other time of the year to judge them favorably and assume the best in them. Part of this may be assuming that a Jew who does not keep Torah simply was never taught how to fulfill aspects of the Torah, or that they never had the opportunity to learn (that they’re a tinuk shenishbe), and part of that may be assuming that they’ve gone through some trauma in their lives, or personal challenges that they are having difficulty overcoming, and that if we were in their situation, we may not do differently than they are.

This is expressed to the extreme in one of my favorite halachos (that I’ve come across so far), in Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh Deah 139:1). This section of Shulchan Aruch is the beginning of the laws concerning idolatry, and the extent of the prohibition thereof, and it begins by discussing the difference between idolatry that belongs to a Jew, and that which belongs to a non-Jew:

 Idolatry that belongs to a non-Jew is presumed prohibited to benefit or use from the point that it comes into their hands (or from the point that they make it, even though they have yet to bow down to it), but if they break it into pieces (and it’s no longer fit to worship), a Jew can benefit from the pieces. 

By contrast, idolatry that belongs to a Jew does not become prohibited to benefit from until they bow down to it (or commit any other act of idolatry that constitutes serving the idol), but once it has become prohibited, the materials will never become permitted to benefit from for a Jew - even if it has been broken - and must be disposed of in a permanent manner (such as dropping them off a boat in the middle of the sea, or burning them, and scattering the ashes in a place where they won’t benefit anyone).

 

The beautiful limud zchuss is in two essential parts as follows:

1) The Turei Zahav mentions that while in most cases, a Yehudi Mumar (a rebelling Jew, who violates certain prohibitions in public out of spite against G-d) is considered to be a non-Jew and cannot be relied upon for the Laws of Kashrus, Shabbos, or the like, and they cannot be called up to the Torah in shul, or counted for the minyan, in the case of the laws of idolatry, they are considered a Jew both for a leniency (their idolatry doesn’t become prohibited until it’s served) and for a stringency (their idolatry will never become permitted, even if they break it). The Turi Zahav concludes his thought; “Even though he is a sinner, he’s still a Jew.” 

2) The Remah adds on to the ruling of the Shulchan Aruch that if a Jew sets up an idol for the sake of idolatry, and a non-Jew bows down to it, it becomes prohibited to benefit from (even though a person generally cannot cause something that does not belong to them to become prohibited, since the Jew set up the idol for the purpose of idolatry, we have an exception to the rule). The Sifsei Kohen, commenting on the Remah’s ruling, says: “However, if the same non-Jew picks another idol from the house of the same Jew, stands it up, and bows down to it, it does not become prohibited, because perhaps the Jew only designated the idol he set up for idolatry for that purpose, but anything else in his house, he does not wish to use for that purpose.”

Regardless of the fact that this Jew is actively an idolator, committing full-on acts of idolatry, we still judge him favorably, assuming that anything else in his house, even if it looks and smells like idolatry, is nothing more than a decoration or a keepsake and remains permitted to benefit from. Despite his chazakah of being wicked, we still deem him to be righteous with regards to any action he has not clearly already done, and we do not assume that he will continue to sin in the future. In the merit of our limud zchuss on every Jew we meet, we should merit to be judged favorably by Hashem and be written down for blessing in the coming year, and merit the ultimate blessing, of our speedy and complete redemption!

Valentine: "We should really pick a babyname..." Kaliko: "Yes, but it has to be something nice and easy to spell." Valentine: "Why is that?" Kaliko: "Listen, I have wasted so much time spelling my name for people to still spelling it as Calico... and even the short version: I have been called Kelly so many times." Valentine: "Understandable... I think I have a name. It's from one of my favourite books as a child."

Meanwhile: Dahlia: "While mother and father discuss the name of Dahlia's sibling... Dahlia will help herself with the chimkin."

[i-like-sticks]

Gonna dump this here cause I can since I am reminded of the names I picked out for my OCs in Destiny (especially for the Witness's people)! Did anyone ask for this? No! But, hey, its here for notes and reference if anyone is curious to ask!

As I mentioned on an ask on my main, I take a lot of names that are mostly in line with my own culture while trying to fit them with the character's personality or a trait they have.

-Karaya's name literally translates to "moon" and if people know me very well for a long time, anyone that is named after the moon tend to be tragical figures of a sort. And sadly, Karaya is no different. Though, despite his suffering and challenges, he does overcome them and is dedicated to the changes he makes by showing he will persevere and not be taken down. Why I pick to associate him with the moon mostly goes in hand that its the same as it often does with many of my stories. Tragical as it may be to be associated with the moon, each one is strong and pushes through to become something mighty and grand in the end. Plus, the moon in my culture is known to be just as jovial and persevering despite the sadness She endures.

-Tureygua translates to "celestial skies" but also goes by the nickname Turey which ironically translates to "sky". Again, this is more of a play that Turey has a connection with the stars and therefore, an association with Karaya (as he is a distant ancestor of his). Though Turey isn't an astronomer, he does look up to the stars for knowledge and strength, guidance as a means to comfort him in dire times. In a way, Turey is like the person that goes "the sky is not the limit but the start" sort of person, pushing through every challenge in front of him because he knows he can do it.

-Homayoun is one of the few characters that doesn't share a name within my culture. Instead, it borrows from the Persian culture in terms of meaning fortunate/rich/noble. However, his name is sort of an irony as his beginnings were never noble or fortunate. He's an individual plagued by constant misfortunes that have in the long run made him rather bleak and hold a depressed outlook in life. Its only after his marriage to Tureygua and certain things that have happened that eventually allow him to make a change of his outlook on life and gain that fortune he had never had. Its with his family he is noble and rich, fortunate and blessed to have what he has before his passing.

-Mirari (Turey and Homayoun's child), is also another character whose name is not based on anything in my culture. Instead, it borrows from the Portuguese word "miracle" as that is literally what they are for the pair. Being born premature and right at the cusp of death for both them and their "mother", it was a miracle that they made it through and managed to live a long and healthy life. They are the pair's little miracle and will cherish them as such considering how much they love them and how much joy they bring them as a family.

-Hutia translates to "rabbit". Its not because they look like a rabbit that I picked this name for Hutia, but more so, because he is skittish like one; easily overwhelmed and frightened in the way a nervous rabbit would be at times. Its more a jab at my own anxious personality as I am always compared to a rabbit at home by my own family. Plus, rabbits are cute and also hold a lot of meaning for me in stories as well! Being anxious at the start but able to overcome their fears by proving such things won't rule their lives entirely. Something to which I have planned out for Hutia in the Alternate Timeline AU.

-Zinato (Hutia's first spouse before their divorce) translates to "irritated", which is pretty much their biggest personality trait when they are seen as their true selves. Anything that doesn't go their way instantly annoys them to a point of being completely selfish and intolerable. And often times, its usually with Hutia they share this sentiment with because they are total opposites in personality. Zinato is more outgoing and adventurous, impulsive and brash. Hutia is not. Therefore, Zinato becomes extremely irate anytime Hutia wants nothing to do with their plans or just seemingly wants to be left alone.

-Guani' (Hutia's second husband) translates to "noble man", to which I like to reflect on his more caring and gentle approach to things. He may not be of noble origins as he comes from a poorer background, but he certainly has the heart of a good person and carries it boldly. Its this sort of approach that helps Hutia come out of their shell and be more accepting of themselves as well as others who genuinely care for him. Plus, it also hints where he will take his family line down in the Alternate Timeline AU!

-Mabuya literally translates to "ghost" or in some cases "evil spirit" though it is debatable to be honest. However, I am taking the context of that of a simple ghost. Sort of a joke that they are aptly named after the little companions guardians gain when chosen by the Traveler and because they are so quiet and often hidden in plain sight to other characters. Its their eerily quiet nature that sort of puts people off to think them as a ghost, but they are actually pretty chill and just quiet and reserved. They do like talking to Scooter though! Even if its just in tiny whispers. Mabuya is a direct descendant of Hutia and his husband Guani' as well as Karaya in the Alternate Timeline AU.

-Bijirita translates to "cooing dove", though he is far from the idea of a tranquil little dove that innocently sits on a tree. If anything, he is quite the opposite. Sadistic at heart and sly like a fox, always waiting to strike his prey like a viper eying its prey in silence. Why I named him after something so peaceful is to play on the idea of surprise and that is what Bijirita holds as a character. He is literally full of surprises when given the chance to show them. But like a dove, his eerily calm demeanor helps him use his charm to trick people into getting what he wants. Its perhaps one of the biggest surprises his husband Shaan came across when they first met. Bijirita is a descendant of Mirari and Karaya in the Alternate Timeline AU.

-Baracutey translates to "solitary" in terms of a person and animal alike. This wasn't always quite the case for him in his early life but he was and still is a person that prefers to handle things on his own then admit he needs help in the long run. Pride runs deep in his bloodline and sadly, he holds that fault in his own. And this holds especially true after particular events in his life, in which he becomes more reserved and solitary in general. Does it mean he is completely devoid of emotion and love and is a constant edge lord? No. But he just has a hard time expressing things out of trust. Baracutey is the son of Caguana and a descendant of Karaya.

-Rahe translates to "daughter", though gender in general of the Witness's people literally mean nothing to them. This one is sort of simple as they are the child of the General Baracutey, but do not know this until much later on in the story. Neither of them are aware of each other's presence aside from the brief meeting they have early on in their life. Brief as it was, they hold no memory of their father whatsoever. They identify as nonbinary with they/them pronouns mostly but sometimes will go by she/her. They are Baracutey's child and the grandchild of Bajari Caguana.

-Caguana translates to "fertility mother". She is aptly named after the goddess of fertility in my culture as she is sort of the "mother" figure to her people being the Bajari (another word that translates to one's utmost respect in title). And being Bajari means being both a leader and mother/father figure of one's people, which is the role she takes on as such. This also goes in hand that her children rule alongside her as many previous Bajari have done, echoing back to days when Karaya became the first. Yet, despite her motherly figure for the people, she is a very doting mother to her children and grandchildren as well, once again echoing the love and care Karaya had for his own children and grandchildren when they came about. She leads on with examples of utmost care and caution, wanting only the best possible outcome to ensure things go well, thus ensuring a better means of prospering for her people in the long run. She too is a descendant of Karaya, the mother of Baracutey, and grandmother of Mabuya, Rahe, and Bijirita in the Alternate Timeline AU.

-Shaan is another character that is not named from my own culture but borrows from the Hindi word of "pride". And if anyone knows Shaan well, he is definitely a Lubraean full of such pride and more and is not afraid to show it either. He is loud and bombastic, egotistical when insulted and will be damn sure to let anyone know no one insults him and gets away with it. His pride is not out of stroking his ego though as he does hone the skills to brag about his awards and accomplishments. He does, essentially, have the very right to brag and be open about it to anyone who challenges him and he will be sure that when anyone who does so will feel his wrath following such pride. Does that mean he is always right? No. He can and will be wrong many times, Bijirita has shown him that. But he won't let anyone know that nor live to have that under their belt. This Lubraean is one you don't want to mess with, especially when complimenting Bijirita's sadism and cunning with his own to be rid of his enemies.

-Scooter literally has no name of translation. He earned this nickname purely because I call one of my cats "scooter" at times. Its a playful name that does, however, reflect his playful and outgoing nature and he no qualms in earning such a name either. This nickname was also given to him in "canon" because he often liked to play on wheeled items and scoot on them for fun. If he had a scooter or skateboard, he may be able to do all the tricks on them.

-Tzaatehk also has no real meaning to his name. Its actually a play on a villain's name from a show I used to watch as a kid (who ironically was an evil vizir that plotted to kill the prince of his homeworld). However, in terms of personality, Tzaatehk is far from the simple "evil" of a jealous vizir. If anything, he is just evil inside and out, rotten to a core that would infect anyone who dare take after him. He's not a good person and should be avoided at all costs. Even others of his kind do not enjoy his presence nor wish to be around him. Many plots have been made to be rid of him but somehow, he always seems to prevail and capture his would-be assassins, killing them in turn as punishment to challenge of his own standing.

And lastly, I am adding in the Witness as a probable player but only in terms of historical context for their people. However, here they are mortal but the child of the current Bajari at the time of history (thus meeting when their people and the Lubraean's meet for the first time and clear Lubrae of its hold of the Regime).

I had initially given them the name Cauta as it translates to "center of the universe", a play of description of them being well, literally what they are to their parent and the role they play for their people later on in the Alternate Timeline AU. However, I also debate on giving them the name Guaroco, which translates to "remembrance/to know" as an homage to their true canon selves.

I do have several nicknames picked out for them that will be given to them by Rhulk, but for now, its a fight between these two names in general.

But as of now, these are all the named characters I have thus far for my own stories. I might and will have more to add later! But for now, this is the current set list (minus all the smaller characters attached to the these).
