A simple question.

Of the names you bear, does one seem to you the truest?

Hmmm, well, my name is Latin and means conqueror.
I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I'm not unhappy with it, if that makes sense? I unfortunately have no memory of my patronymic name, though.

[tadanokusuriuri]

[No memory... probably a shinki, then?]

And what of your god's name?

[leapingchuu]

His real name is Emizel, but his god name is Thanatos! He's the personification of death!

Yep, Viktor's far happier about this than he should be.

[tadanokusuriuri]

I meant to ask of the name he granted you.

[He ought, perhaps, to have been more specific.]

[spes_phthisica]

the one my god gave to me
though i know he likes my other name too so its not like that one feels false

[tadanokusuriuri]

It's all a matter of his preference?

[spes_phthisica]

more or less yes
i mean after all i am his weapon
he defines me

I'm fond of the name monster myself.

same

[tadanokusuriuri]

Oh?

And why should that one please you?

[deniles]

I enjoy scaring people. Being the fear they can't place.

And an equally simple answer: yes

[ His God name doubles as his True Name after all ]

[tadanokusuriuri]

What is it, do you think... that makes one truer than the others?

[futhark]

The story, I suppose. It wasn't the name I was born with but when I got it, it stuck for good. Now it's a whole tale on its own.

[demonsheath]

Neither of them, actually. One I simply had woken up with and the other was given out of bias.

[tadanokusuriuri]

In that case... Is there another that you'd find more agreeable?

[demonsheath]

I'd have to know myself more to know that for sure.

I wonder.. I seem to have a lot of them. But I do sort of like the name my god gave me.

[tadanokusuriuri]

Why might that be, I wonder?

[yasei]

It’s a name that gives a bit of a free feeling.

Not really? I mean, I understand names have power and all that, but it seems to me like it matters less what someone calls you, and more what you think of yourself as and who you try to be. The name my God gave me functions as a way for them to have me help them, but that's about all it is. Likewise, I'm pretty sure my given name might or might not have significance--I don't remember.

Either way though, I'm still me regardless of what form or name I use.

[tadanokusuriuri]

If you forget, is it still of significance?

[light_of_willpower]

That might depend on the purpose. Language changes over time, and people give certain words meanings or significance that may change that word to others.

[museumship]

hmm idk, i feel like "Iowa" fits me best.

it just feels right, ya know?

[tadanokusuriuri]

"Feels right"....

How can you tell?

[museumship]

call it a woman's intuition

[ And this is not without the following gratitous winking face: ] ;)

tho why is it bothering you? do you not remember your own name??
