General Exalted Discussion XVI: Chej Kejak, Pokegod Trainer!

[horngeek]

I default to simple names, or names that are titles but can be made simple relatively easily.

Withered Blossom of Slaughter, for example, can be shortened to (and often is shortened to) Blossom. Or what she'd call herself once she redeemed herself, Triumphant Rose Guardian.

Or, more simply, Rose.

My view is that the more... poetic... names are as much titles as anything, and often suggest their own little story. Take, again, Triumphant Rose Guardian, which is a holdover from the First Age bearer of the Exaltation- I haven't actually nailed down in my mind what the title/name refers to, but it's fairly easy to thing up possible stories behind it.

Withered Blossom of Slaughter, on the other hand, is a mocking twisting of Triumphant Rose Guardian, in the style of Fallen Wolf from Scroll of Exalts.
