Welcome back, my beautiful freaks, to the Assassin's Den! Today, I'm going to talk about the names of my characters. In particular, parts of their names that are unrevealed.
This has actually been mulling around in my head since Cavik brought up how he thought Amelisan was mononymous; that is, she only has that first part of her name. I gave her the surname of "Strannos", because it was needed in the future. And as of late, this got me thinking about the other characters who just happen to be currently mononymous. So, even though their names won't show up in the stories, I'm here to reveal all characters' second parts of their names! (Or the reason why they don't have one/don't use one. :P)
Ragdat: Ragdat does not have a last name. The Rattataki are tribal by nature, and Ragdat has been away from his tribe for so long that he no longer feels a connection to it, and thus, no connection to the "clan name" they gave him.
Adaso and Colmallus: They both have the same surname, but they do not use them, because doing so would take away from what they're supposed to represent. So "Adaso of House Adaso" and "Colmallus of clan Mallus" are what they go by.
Darth Nox: Technically, she has two. The first is the obvious "Kallig", but the second ties in with twi'lek naming conventions. Technically, her name, by Earth standards, would be "Koyi Shak", but she utilized the twi'lek naming convention of joining her personal and clan names together.
Vedere Marr: No explanation needed here. :)
Maircus Renfer
Curoda: By the point in the story where it would matter, it would be "Riggs", as she'll have been married to Corso for several years.
Allisani: She's kind of interesting, since she follows the Chiss naming convention of family name, personal name and clan name. So her full name would be Gua'llisan'ireshoth, with "Allisani" being the part of the name that others would consider the "first name".
Amelisan Strannos
Vizhdam Pucat
Chas'Raan: Conforms to the twi'lek naming convention.
Gentugo: He does not lay claim to to any last name due to the life he has lived; from slave to escaped slave to slave again to consort of Darth Nox, so he really has no connection to anyone but his family.
Tavella Corray
Mamine: She can lay no claim to any family name or clan name, due to her exile.
Suthazi Rushir
Yokonari: Technically, it is Kutswi, but due to events happening between the end of Shadow of Revan and the beginning of KOTFE, she rejects it.
Casek: He claimed Yokonari's surname as his own, but rejected it for the same reasons.
Anstrisil Khidin
Azulini and Hardatt: No family to call their own, no clan or tribes to claim them, so they are
mononymous.
Some of these were more difficult than others; I couldn't really find any naming convention for Sith. But even if a character's second name is never revealed, here they are.
For now, stay beautiful freaks!
