    Naming Best Practices

    • Fighter names often reflect their combat style or preferred weapons
    • Military fighters might use rank-based names or unit nicknames
    • Names can reference famous battles, military victories, or combat feats
    • Consider the fighter's background: soldier, gladiator, guard, or mercenary
    • Many fighters earn names through notable duels or battlefield achievements
    • Simple, strong-sounding names often suit the straightforward fighter
    • Surnames might indicate fighting schools or military traditions
    • Gladiators often have dramatic stage names for the arena
    • Veteran fighters accumulate nicknames from different campaigns

    Fighter Names Across Cultures

    Fighter naming traditions are as varied as fighting styles themselves. In military organizations, fighters often go by rank and surname until earning distinction. Mercenary companies develop their own naming customs - some use numbers, others nicknames based on fighting style or personality. Gladiatorial arenas demand theatrical names that excite crowds: 'The Crimson Blade' or 'Iron Mountain.' Noble-born fighters might carry ancestral names heavy with martial history, while common-born warriors often earn names through deeds. Different fighting traditions influence naming: eastern-inspired monks-turned-fighters might have philosophical names, while brutal pit fighters use intimidating monikers. Veterans often collect names from different conflicts, wearing them like battle scars. The most legendary fighters transcend personal names, becoming known by signature weapons or fighting techniques. In adventuring parties, fighters often receive affectionate nicknames from companions, contrasting with their fearsome battle titles.
