Me When My Friends Ask If The Delefaye Are Gods Or Not, And If They Aren't, How Have They Gotten Away

Me when my friends ask if the Delefaye are gods or not, and if they aren't, how have they gotten away with being considered gods? And if they are gods, why don't they do more? With time, they shall find out, but I want to share my master plan right now 😔

being mentally ill about your ocs, is waiting for someone to read your mind and ask about the 457643235 ideas that even you don’t know about

If I am not, my characters must be. Someone must always be.

"Why is ur writing so sad all the time-??" I am constantly in anguish

If your comment is long and rambling and full of quotes you enjoyed, I will love it.

If your comment is full of story related questions, I will love it.

If your comment is a single sentence, I will love it.

If your comment is a single emoji, or a string of them, I will love it.

If you comment, I will love it. It's that simple.

My first ever tag game? How exciting (Terrifying)

Thank you, @the-letterbox-archives, for the tag! The question appears to be about character names/their origins, so here we go! Admittedly, my naming process is a bit whack, so I apologise in advance.

Fennic Ferris Etwile

Alright, my good old boy Fennic. His name mostly just exists because I thought it sounded nice? Fennec is stolen from 'Fennec Foxes' but make it special, Ferries from Ferris Buller's Day Off and Etwile was just my brain mushing names together. It's a very fantasy sci-fi sounding name so I'm pretty alright with it.

Next up are a few of the Delefaye... These guys are self-proclaimed gods. They needed big fancy names, I apologise in advance. I've only got three down here because, honestly, the other five are named purely based on the fact that I thought they sounded nice? I'm sorry 😭

Enzophilius "Nozo" Delefaye

Enzophillius is a combination of a few different names I enjoy. Enzo is a name that I find a bit sentimental for no particular reason. I wanted to figure out a way to include the name Enzo in a book of mine, yet I could never figure out a way for it to fit in. So I decided to mash it together with 'Xenophillius' (You know if you know) and got Enzophilius. Nozo came from the fact that I don't believe he'd enjoy Enzo as a nickname (I know it completely defeats the purpose of Enzo), but I couldn't imagine Vassago calling him Enzophilius. I think he'd hate "Nozo" a lot more than the nickname Enzo, but the lore behind Nozo is to cute for me to change it.

Leviathneer "Leviath" Delefaye

Listen - Listen. I can explain, I promise, I know it's an odd choice, but may I remind you that he's a holy being? I couldn't name him Bob - alright, maybe I could have, but this one probably has the most explanation out of all the Delefaye. He's the Delefaye of intelligence, extraterrestrial vastness, water, universal problems, and preciseness.

I enjoy the sea serpant Leviathan, and it seemed fitting due to Leviathan being a sea serpant that often does chaotic things. I also enjoy the name Veneer, and by combining the two, I ended up with Leviathneer and while I know it isn't everyone's personal favourite I quite enjoy it.

Freydarli "Darli" Delefaye

I mostly thought Freydarli was just a really cute name for a lovely character. I struggled quite a bit with her name, I still do, but mostly over if the spelling needs to change or not. For the longest time, I just had her called 'Freya' with her partner Vesselyn calling her darling. Eventually, the two names clicked in my brain, and 'Freydarli' was born. I do think it's a much better suiting name for her than Freya or anything else I could have come up with.

Have some mood boards I've made for some of the characters

I tag @strayedstarzz and anyone else else who wants to join in this game. Tell me your naming origins if you have any!

Introduction

Hello, everyone!

I'm Introchasingstars- Francesca, for simplicities sake (she/her), a small-time writer, and a Marauders fan since 2016! I intend to use this blog mostly just to talk about not only Marauders but also my independent works! I plan to yap about my characters, creatures, and world, so I do hope you find enjoyment in that!

I write mostly high fantasy as I enjoy writing and creating complex worlds, characters, and lore! My most well-known work follows the tale of Cassiel Greene and Fennic Etwile as they venture across the galaxy to meet a mysterious group of self-proclaimed gods known as the Delefaye.

My biggest inspirations in writing are Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, Marauders and Watership Down! So if any of those interest you please stick around :) I tackle a lot of themes and tropes such as found family, enemies to lovers, coming-of-age, power and corruption, good versus evil and forbidden romances.

I am always looking for writing mutuals and am happy to answer any questions! My ask box is always open, and I'm very excited to share more of my thoughts with you all.
