how a friend of mine taught me to create names for characters

Start with a word that's meaningful to the character. For this example, we'll use the word "smoke".

Open up Google translate and pick a language - Latin is a good, basic starting point, but anything with connections or an ease of what I like to call English-ifying (for the sake of this method, things like pinyin - the English text version of languages with non-english characters - although this can also be done for other languages, I assume) works best.

I'll start with Latin - the word I get is fumo. Now, I don't really like the vibes of that, so I'm going to take a stab at a few other translations to see what I can find.

(I do want to add - it's best to either understand the language's phonetics or have a pronunciation available if you want to be able to pronounce the character's name.)

Icelandic - Reykja (Ray-kee-ah)

Korean - Seumoki (Soo-moke-ee)*

Hindi - Dhuaan (Doo-ahn)

Swahili - Moshi (Mah-shee)

And with that, I have four different name bases to work with, all with different vibes. For instance, Moshi would probably be a good name for a pet - the -i ending reads as diminutive in English, making it perfect for a gray-furred cat. I might use that if I ever get a pet that it would fit - it's a sweet name.

Reykja reads as a fairly feminine name, and could work as a standalone - just be aware that it might read strangely to people who speak Icelandic. Dhuaan feels more gender-neutral - actually, it feels very neutral altogether.

That being said, you don't have to stop here. You can throw the names together in much the same way that someone used to create Lenjamin, and create entirely new names. In this endeavor, it usually helps to have gathered quite a few translations to work with.

Here, I take a bit of a leap in combining the -ki in Seumoki (which is a little on the nose alone) with the fu- in fumo, creating Kifu - considering that the alternative is Fuki, which. Is a little too close to Fucky for my comfort.

Here's the important part - and this step is often vital even when not combining the words - you have to translate it backwards.

*Those who know Korean might notice that Seumoki is a translation for "smokey", not "smoke". As someone who doesn't speak Korean, I noted that translating back the word I originally got for smoke, yeongi, gave me "performance". I'm not sure what's up with that, so I adjusted the form of the word to get a better translation - for all I know, the translation of yeongi as "smoke" is a bug.

Sometimes you'll find out that the word that gets translated back is. Less than desirable. Sometimes, however, you find a pleasant surprise.

Kifu, in the "Detect Language" setting of Google Translate, reads as the Swahili word for death.

So now I have a name for a badass character, probably someone that can easily be read as a ninja, whose name has roots in smoke and death.

One last note - do look up the name outside of Google Translate to check and see if it's already in use somewhere or if it has any problematicisms attached - Kifu seems to be a software related to the game Go, as well as a French collection of home decor. I think it's a funny little anecdote to add to the name; plus, maybe it can be used for further characterization. Maybe Kifu really likes interior design. Maybe their favorite game is Go.

And with that you have a name for a character and a little bit of bonus characterization to go along with it!

Don't forget to translate backwards, and don't forget to look it up, though. Also, if you're able to consult a dictionary in the language you're pulling from - or even a person who speaks the language - that's even better!

All of the names here are free to use, btw!

#problematicisms should be a word fight me #i wanna read a superhero fic abt kifu the smoke hero #they have the vibes of a side character who's usually the distraction/bait #because they escape easily #they'd probably be weak to water/humidity #and they'd have an arc about how annoying it is to be underestimated #maybe they're not even considered an actual superhero #maybe they just go out in civilian clothes and distract the villains #drawing power from the destruction wrought by the fires started from all the fighting #disappearing into thin air #getting in the villain's eyes and making it difficult for them to see #idk i have Thoughts abt this #i feel like Dhuaan would be either very short or very tall #with very dark skin or very pale skin #ig they're not as neutral as they are like. either end of the spectrum works but nowhere in between #reykja? I Would Die For Reykja #she seems like the badass mom friend with a deep voice #i hc that Reykja is a trans woman and Dhuaan is a trans he/they #i love how these aren't even characters yet and i'm already like. 'this is a people' #anyways have fun with this #go wild y'all #it does take some time to get used to #and some practice to get good at knowing when to stop and when to keep going #but i enjoy this

okay so reorganized my pedalboard again

brought my dead-key microkorg back to life, set it up to run into my board along with my guitar on an A/B switch

in total there’s 4 independent drive settings, 2 noisy sub-synths, 2 delays, 2 reverbs, the dl4 for looping and of course the ts50b at the end acting as a clean preamp to make my cheap amp sound much less cheap. there’s quite a few neat sounds I can make with this setup and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it

special guest appearance by Reykja who is kind enough to step around all the knobs 😻

CYBER - Hræddur (Scared) - transcript/translation

Another CYBER song for @yetanotherlemontree! Fairly straightforward to transcribe this time (only one line where I feel really unsure what I'm hearing). Full transcript and translation below.

Icelandic transcript

Kemurðu aftur? Ertu hræddur við allt? Kemurðu aftur? Er þér heitt eða kalt? Vingastu við mig Sársaukinn er inn við En ég skil þig Þú ert hræddur við mig

En er eitthvað að marka það sem þú hræðist ef þú hræðist alla? Hugsaðu um allt, er ég þarna? Virðist vera fleiri, er það satt? Voru farnar Og þó ég vildi vera hér og vera með þér þá var ég ekki hérna heldur þarna Taktu mig í sundur Komdu aftur, ekki vera hræddur

Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur Ekki vera hræddur

Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur Ekki vera hræddur

Viltu leika? Leggja á borð og borða með mér? Út að reykja eplaböku, kristall og gler Taktu bita Taktu mig og taktu upp í nef Segðu mér að þú getir fyrirgefið mér

Talaðu hægar Ég er ekki alltaf mjög ver(?) Talaðu hraðar Tíminn líður hægar með þér Kemurðu aftur? Tilfinningin kemur og fer en stundum líður mér eins og lífið mitt fari með þér

(Komdu aftur) (Komdu aftur) (Komdu aftur) (Komdu aftur)

Ekki vera hræddur Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur Komdu aftur Ekki vera hræddur

English translation

Are you coming back? Are you scared of everything? Are you coming back? Do you feel hot or cold? Befriend me The pain is within But I get you You're scared of me

But can you put any stock in what you're scared of when you're scared of everything? Think about everything, am I there? Seem to be others, is that true? They were gone And even though I wanted to be here and be with you I wasn't here but there Take me apart Come back, don't be scared

Come back Don't be scared Come back Don't be scared Come back Don't be scared Don't be scared

Come back Don't be scared Come back Don't be scared Come back Don't be scared Don't be scared

Want to play? Lay the table and have dinner with me? Out to smoke Apple pie, crystal and glass Take a bite Take me and snort me up your nose Tell me that you can forgive me

Speak slower I'm not always very aware(?) Speak faster Time passes slower with you Are you coming back? The feeling comes and goes But sometimes I feel like my life leaves with you

(Come back) (Come back) (Come back) (Come back)

Don't be scared Come back Don't be scared Come back Don't be scared Come back Don't be scared

Translation notes

The person being addressed is a man; "Hræddur" is the masculine form of the adjective.

"Voru farnar" is a subjectless sentence fragment that just means "were gone", with "farnar" being in the feminine plural. Presumably it refers to some of the other women the addressee is scared of.

"Taktu mig og taktu upp í nef" literally means "Take me and take up into the nose"; I went with the implication of snorting "me", which is the most grammatically sensible way to interpret it, but it's also alluding to actual drugs before that, so maybe that's not actually what it's going for.

The one line I'm not sure about doesn't make grammatical sense as I interpret it and I basically made a wild guess based on context that mayyyybe it's meant to be "aware" for some reason. Treat that with a large grain of salt.

Islanda, nuova eruzione vulcanica a Sud-Ovest di Rejkyavik. Evacuata Grindavík

Una nuova eruzione vulcanica si è verificata questa mattina dopo le 7:00 (le 8:00 in Italia) a Sud-Ovest della capitale islandese Rejkyavik.
