Names!
Now with MACHINE-RELATED NAMES! (& half a dozen others)
It鈥檚 been a while, hasn鈥檛 it? For those not in the know, this is like the second or third post on this blog. It鈥檚 been AGES since it was last updated. Recently @local-robotgirlthing asked for some robosona names, so I went through computing history & electronic components to pull out my favs :>
Enjoy!

-------------------------------------------------
We hoard names we like, not necessarily names that we鈥檒l use for ourselves, but names we think are interesting. Anyone is welcome to take a name for themselves, members of their systems, pets, OCs, characters, whatever they need!
Types of names included: Birds, Space, Machines, Colors, Trees, Plants, Earth, Word-names, names of gods & legends, names from books & stories, names from my ancestry, & a bunch of other names (mostly older or foreign names) that didn鈥檛 fit elsewhere!
Also, if you like these names, check back every few months years, as we (occasionally) update this list!

3, 6, 21, 54, and 57 with all of your ocs?
fuck i really regret listing so many lol under the cut bc Big Long
3. What is their biggest motivator?
~Sympathy! Babes~
Rowan: Fear, pure fear. He鈥檚 a deer in the headlights
Lana: She wants people to respect her and her abilites more than anything
Hope: Hope鈥檚 really into balance. Shit needs to be equal and perfect and it needs to be balanced goddamnit
Damien: Love drives him to do anything. And also money. but mostly love
~DnD babes~
Glory: Happiness. They actually really fucking hate fame and glory, they just want to be happy
Corvin: Money. You don鈥檛 get to be a fae prince without greed.
Jiloweh: That deep satisfaction you feel when you successfully navigate a social interaction perfectly. That鈥檚 her shit
Jasper: To be seen as equal. There鈥檚 something about being created to be expendable that fucks you over. He just wants to be the same as everyone else (and that鈥檚 why Salah was the only person in Alaija that could talk to him on his level)
Salah: Boredom (more specifically, the movement away from boredom). She lives off of drama. Being 2k+ years old and in a million and one social circles helps
Rex: Safety. He has no idea how he鈥檚 in the most powerful pseudoarmy. He also has no idea how he鈥檚 second in command of said pseudoarmy. God bless En and Ainne for keeping this poor boy relatively secure in his mortality
6. What do they like to wear?
~Sympathy! Babes~
Rowan: Damien鈥檚 sweatshirts and Lana鈥檚 jeans (it鈥檚 not his fault they鈥檙e comfortable)
Lana: Combat boots, ripped jeans, and camo jackets
Hope: Skirts, floral prints, sweaters, very femme aesthetic
Damien: Leather jackets, sweatshirts, jeans, sweatpants, and a little bit of emo/punk
~DnD babes~
Glory: Glory wears what Glory wants
Corvin: Fur, leaves, woven shadows, anything stupid decadent
Jiloweh: Dress shirt, dress pants, practical formality
Jasper: He doesn鈥檛 need to wear pants he鈥檚 a golem
Salah:Jumpsuit/skintight. Welcome from Parallax, we have scifi and space travel and i鈥檓 sorry Elias but Alaijan clothes aren鈥檛 comfy
Rex: Nice jeans and the stolen shirts and jackets of literally everyone in the Quartz Guard (save Elektra bc of the whole, yaknow, no physical form)
21. Favorite kind of weather?
(ok so it鈥檚 technically not weather but)
~Sympathy! Babes~
Rowan: Thunderstorms at 6 am when lightning flashes through the curtains and lights up the early morning with a demand because good mcfucking morning and good mcfucking night.
Lana: When it鈥檚 the dry heat of summer and the cicadas are screaming and the sun is slowly dipping below the horizon and you feel the first breeze of night against the fading light and everything is tinged golden.
Hope: 3 am when the moon is full and the sky is clear and you can see a million billion stars echoing in unison, it鈥檚 not too hot and not too cold, but you bring a jacket anyway. A slight, dewy mist covers the ground, but the sound of the stars is sharp enough to cut glass.
Damien: Winter noon, when the sun is singing a song of ice and rage, the sky is cloudy, but you can still see the disk of the sun and it doesn鈥檛 burn your eyes. Everything is wonderfully grey and every color seems to glow, and a soft fog of breath blurs everything.
~DnD babes~
Glory: The icy howl of a blizzard raging outside while you鈥檙e sitting in a blackout by the lit fireplace, reading old stories and feeling the ember glow warm up your fingers. The plink-plink-plink of icicles falling as the marshmellows and cocoa boils over the fire.
Corvin: The rumble of thunder echoing through a noontime forest, darkened by storm clouds so dark they鈥檙e purple, the building humidity before the rain falls as a sheet, crashing through the leaves and roots and buildings and streets.
Jiloweh: The bright bright blue of just-after-dawn, while the sun is still a red disk on the horizon, but the orange cracks of daybreak have faded to a pale, vivid blue against the soft white of one or two lagging clouds.
Salah: Immediately after rain when the ground is drinking up the drops and everything is starting to come out of its dens, starting to wake up again, and the air is filled with crisp petricore.
Rex: A partially cloudy sunset, when the colors spill over the sky like a cracking egg, the pinks streaking the clouds, the vivid orange that stains everything a deep gold, the breath caught in your throat as the first violets begin their march, Venus, dotting the Moon, painted against a deep umber backdrop.
54. What is their MBTI type?
(i have no idea what mbti types are and tbh im too tired to Words and Research)
57. What D&D alignment are they?
~Sympathy! Babes~
Rowan: Neutral evil
Lana: Lawful evil
Hope: Lawful good
Damien: Neutral good
~DnD babes~
Glory: Glory neutral (na jk they鈥檙e chaotic neutral)
Corvin: Chaotic bastard
Jiloweh: Lawful neutral
Jasper: True neutral
Salah: Chaotic good
Rex: Lawful good
