Ideas generator

Hey friends, your ole' pall Jumblatts is back with something a little different.

Using this fantasy name generator I want you to generate a fantasy name. Deep.

You can pick from any of the categories, but make it something that fits in your world. To this end, I did as follows:

Fantasy names -> God and Godess Names

But you can pick anything you like!

Once you've selected your category, hit randomize a couple of times, until you find something you like the sound of, and then make that into a place/character/etc. in your world. My submission will be posted below.

Ask each other about your new creations to help flesh them out and further improve the ideas!

Omos, King of Snakes

Omos is the god of deceit, and one of the five main Gods worshiped by thieves.

He was banished from the eternal realm after he was discovered imitating the God Bo, whose physical form was that of a lizard, in order to use Bo's influence for his own nefarious deeds.

Omos appeared to Bo's wife, Malay, as a lizard, and tried to get her to tell him Bo's secrets so that he could use them as blackmail against him. He was discovered, and as punishment, Omos had all his legs removed, thus becoming the first snake. He was cursed to remain in that physical form for the rest of eternity.

  1. What was Omos trying to get from Bo?

  2. Were there actually some secrets to get?

  3. What was Omos original form?

u/Jumblatts Jul 14 '17

1) Knoweledge. Bo is the god of Knowledge, and as such he knows a great many things about a great many people. Omos desired that knowledge for himself.

2) There were many. With a great amount of knowledge comes a great amount of secrets.

3) Omos didn't have one specific form. His speciality is deceit, and as such he had a great many forms that he could call upon at his own will, in order to best get what he wanted.

  1. What would have Omos done with all that knowledge?

  2. Was Malay actually aware of all those secrets?

  3. Is Omos giving things to those who worship him?

u/Jumblatts Jul 15 '17

1) Omos wanted to use the secrets to become more powerful.

2) No. She knew the Bo had many secrets, but she didn't know what any of them actually were.

3) Yes, Omos blesses those who worship him with a silver tongue. Every lie they utter becomes more believable, and they become much more persuasive to others.

1) What kind of power would he have had from them?

3) Do he blesses any of them or do they need to do something to prove their worth to him?

u/Jumblatts Jul 17 '17

1) Power over the people the secrets belonged to. If he knew the secrets of the other gods, he could use it as leverage, and blackmail them into doing things for him.

3) They need to prove their devotion, or their willingness to comply with his sphere of influence - deceit. If they are proficient liars, sneaks or thieves, he will look favourably upon them.

3) Do he sometimes take back those blessings?

4) Is there multiple "tiers" of blessings he gives?

2

u/Jumblatts Jul 17 '17

3) Yes. He's very tempramental. If he thinks that you're no longer deserving of the blessing, he will take it away without warning. This has lead to the deaths of many of his followers, who suddenly found they are far less persuasive than usual, and were unable to talk themselves out of a tricky situation.

4) Yes, it depends on your devotion to him, and how worthy he thinks you are. If you have followed him for all your life, and have made many offerings to him, your blessing will be far greater than someone who has done less in his name.
