next thing i want concrete is the ranks but i'll also post some ideas we've had about territory, religion, customs, and just other stuff!
so a lot of the ideas we've had have been suffix/prefix names, but i personally don't want too many of those (partially because it looks/sounds very busy to me and partially because i feel like that's already snowbound's Thing and i don't wanna look like we're stealing that). my thought has been that assistant deputy, the regular high position rank, and semi-high position ranks could be cool suffix/prefix words but maybe keep the rest to simple single-word names. i think most of them should be sun/light related but they don't all have to be! having leader/deputy be normal(ish) might keep it from being overwhelming, but those are just my thoughts. things that i might think are busy/too much might actually be totally fine so i'm looking for feedback and ideas!
leader - ?
deputy - ?
assistant deputy - i still love goldenbloods but i'm not sure we should use that... another -blood would be cool but i'm still thinkin' on this one
high position rank - dawnguard, flamewarden? (would be nice if this sounded 'protector-y' because i feel like that's usually the function of this type of rank? could swap the 'protector-y' role with ass. dep rank and have this be like lightbearer or flameseeker or etc. actually i'm just spitballing but that's a good idea lmao)
semi-high position rank - hearthkeeper (i'm pretty much married to this one because it's so suiting for a shp rank whose main job is being welcoming it's just so fitting i love?)
members - ?
apprentices - sparks? novas? both sound very youthful
kits - rays
if we wanted to go prefix/suffix for members i could see it being sunsomething because they're the main bulk of the group so i think it's really fitting for them to have the sun prefix! maybe that's just me haha. for leader or deputy i've been throwing around warden (if we don't use it as a suffix for anything) or maybe helion (since helio- means relating to the sun). random idea: maybe assistant deputies could even be like... patrons? like they can choose a field and be patron of xyz. like... a patron saint... idk i just adore words with vaguely religious connotations for some reason lmao. like i could see the leader being divine or something. who knows, i'm still spitballing.
i'm gonna be dumping the list of prefixes and suffixes we've come up with if anyone wants to form suggestions using them! i was also gonna talk about other stuff but uhhh i think i've already written enough for one post lmao
