Timewaster's Guide Archive

I apologize in advance for the length of this submission. It is 5500 words in length and unfortunately I didn't feel like breaking it up would be possible (would ruin the chapter). If anyone doesn't want to read it due to length I understand. I promise future submission will not be this long. There is also a bit of sexual banter in this chapter, though it is minor.

Synopsis

Proast has earned his name. By braving the wrath of the Magi's Collectors who chased him through the mountains surrounding his home his clan rewarded his courage with the name Lightfoot. Unfortunately the chase took its tole. Lightfoot has fallen ill due to his wounds and the massive amount of blood lost.

We pick the story up from there.


Thanks for reading, and for any suggestions for improvement you can give me,

I realize you all haven't seen much of my story so far (not even the first chapter yet lol). But I have reached a point where I need to flush out the structure of clan government I'm creating.

Things to consider.

When you reach a point in the clan where you are considered a warrior, not just a boy playing at war, you are given a name. The naming is not in some big ceremony, nor is it always a great name. It is most often just a description that stands out to the other members of the clan.

Example character:

Tracker - He is a scout. Someone who is able to avoid being scene by others while spying.
Smiley - He's a rascal, an uncouth fellow. As such he smile's a lot, even when he's scared out of his mind.
Red Hat - Always wears a red hat.
Earless - He's actually a rather brutal looking man. Scars, missing fingers, teeth, etc... but well he doesn't have Ears.
Talker - He never says much. A sarcastic name.
Whisper - Battle wound crushed his throat. He can hardly speak, but when he does it is at a barely audible volume.

Many of these characters have very minor roles, some have very large roles. And strange as it may sound I am having difficulty coming up with more of them that I really like.

So if you wouldn't mind helping me I would appreciate it. If you want to, please just list any names you think are good, or funny, or vicious, or whatever. If you want to tell me what you think a good reason they could have gotten the name would be, please feel free to do so.


Thanks

Ok, first submission by yours truly.
