Here’s a glimpse into the influences that shape the potential names you might discover:
Name Inspiration | Description | Common Elements/Associations | Example Names (Generated) |
---|---|---|---|
Mythology (Trickster Gods) | Refers to gods or folklore figures known for their cunning, deception, and ability to outsmart others. | Word forms referencing wit, illusion, escape, misdirection, shapeshifting. May draw names directly from mythology itself but repurposed. | Sylas Deceiver, Loki’s Shadow, Meiren of Mirrors, Phantom Trick |
Historical Thieves & Outlaws | Drawing names from real-world robbers, pirates, and con artists. Emphasizes practicality and a survivalist edge to the generated name. | Often uses Anglo-Saxon, Norse, or Celtic etymology, with short, sharp sounds for quick enunciation in urgent situations. May hint at region the fictional person came from. | Black Bart, Finn Crowfoot, Isla Swiftfingers, Shadowclaw Kane |
Occupational Slang (Underworld) | Based on phrases used as coded language or slang in underworld settings. The names often are figurative rather than literal descriptions. | Common roots in underworld terminology, cant, or argot, or professions frequently involved with smuggling, trickery, or theft. | Coinpurse, Needle, Knuckle, Flicker |
Virtues Twisted | Names built around morally grey areas where a positive trait gets repurposed into something suspect instead. | Names frequently feature concepts regarding bravery, protection, insight repurposed for the sake of someone’s self-gain instead | Iron Resolve, Protector, Shadow Glimmer, Keen Eye |
Nature: Shadow & Evasion | Utilizes nature and its shadowy elements to describe mysterious and stealthy behaviours. | Frequent imagery associated with dark environments, night elements (e.g., dark flowers, dusk, shadows) alongside behaviours related to secrecy/elusiveness such as silent prowlers. | Twilight Rose, Dusthide, Nightleaf, Shadowpaw |
Arcane/Magical Deception | Roping magic into the equation. Uses terminology that has a base of magic with a twist to it. | Concepts of magic that either deceive or manipulate the users of shadows as a powerful tool. | Mirage Weaver, Arcane Shade, Umbral Guide, Voidcaller |
Skills/Aptitudes Applied | Bases aptitude out of specific stealth functions instead of general categories. | Terms can incorporate specific actions related to being unseen. Usually used in addition to one of these other areas | Quicksilver, Shadowglide, Whisperstrike, Deadfoot |
So, dive into the shadows and discover the perfect name that embodies the spirit of your rogue character! The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.
