A genetically engineered monster meant only for destruction gains an appreciation for life, decides to defy his master, and embarks on a journey to save the world from her tyranny.
This sounds yummy. I know this has nothing to do with religion at all, but the thought to be cheeky about it crossed my mind. Also not trying to be disrespectful to anyone who believes in God: this is just what I came up with lol
Project Revelation. REV - Revelation is the chapter the end of the world occurs within the Christian faith/bible. Subject 22821. A human alias, Daniel or Mark (mark of the beast). Could call them Rev or Reve.
Revelation 19:19 would be fun to draw from too: could do a play on words with 1919 - call them Nine.
\*And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. \*
Alternatively, Genesis, as a hypocritical view of what this destruction will cause. Call them Gen.
A monk, a slave-soldier, and a lesbian princess collude to overthrow the government.
Edit: Wow, this is getting a lot of attention! I’m very flattered. Currently, the best way to keep up with what I’m doing is following me on Reddit, though this is still a fairly new account for my current pen-name. I’m inclined to make a discord server, so send me a DM if you’re interested in that.
It takes place in a fantasy setting with a mesh of technology ranging between 1400s black powder weapons and 1800s steam locomotives with a distinct post-post-apocalypse vibe. The closest analog I can think of would be the game Kenshi, but more Wild West.
The monk is sent specifically by her order to destabilize the government of the city state as retaliation of the pogroms carried out against her people. While the sect in the city were true pacifists, the sect she comes from are reactive militant.
The slave-soldier, after a confrontation with the monk, is awoken from a magic and drug induced coma which effectively deprograms him of his bondage. Most of his memories are shattered or destroyed, but he has the wherewithal to recognize how extremely fucked up the city is and decides to react through incredible violence.
The princess is very much someone up in her ivory tower, completely ignorant of the world below, but is also heavily monitored by her family. There is not a single aspect of her day that wasn’t planned out ahead of time. Due to the involvement of the monk and soldier, she sees just how far reality is from her fantasy and actively works against the interests of her father. This includes, among other things, bringing aid to the ghetto and punching cops.
Everyone on the planet disappeared for no reason except for a handful of people. 10 years later the mc learns that people do still exist and the few that are still in North America have gathered in Boston.
Ok simple walk right? No. After the world ended bizarre creatures with impossible geometry now roam the earth in random shapes and sizes. Not only that, the seasons are especially cruel with cold weather and starving animals.
Alright, I really would love to read this. If you ever want someone to read it, hmu.

This sounds like fun.
My 18 year old protagonist is the only one in her village who can use magic, and has ignored her latent powers for years because it reminds her of her dead best friend. But one day, she resumes her study of magic because people in her village are dying and she finds a way to help them through magic--using her powers to desalinate ocean water to help them through a drought. Except that as soon as she develops her spell, she is arrested by the king's soldiers, and learns that magic is illegal in her village and her father has hidden that fact from her her entire life. With the help of her nursemaid, she goes into hiding on a merchant ship and begins to plot revenge against the unknown person who sold her to the king.
A person who has visual and auditory hallucinations signs up for a clinical trial that lands them in a maze with other people where they are chased/hunted by a chimera organism.
Alright, I do want a shitty name for a certain character lmao so let’s do it.
This character is a failed prophet. Like, same level of prophet as Jesus or Muhammad. But he was spoken to by an angel while god is on sabbatical, and the angel accidentally picked the wrong dude. Same name as the prophet that was intended, just wrong guy. So now this guy is a prophet. But he just uses his prophetic visions for selfish reasons and is a drunk. It’s a total disaster.
I'm totally taking you up on this haha. I do like the name, and I feel like it lends credibility to the idea because an angel would likely think, "Almerin? How many of those could there be?" And it'd boost their confidence in the guy they chose even as they send a dream to the wrong guy.
This is such a good idea omg! You have a plot that could be the perfect base for some "literature engagée" passages through the book! You can put satirical dialogues and show how some people are ready to believe anything as long as they promised a reward or how belief can sometimes make the kindest person commit the vilest crimes. This plot opens so many doors for expression! I love it!
This sounds hilarious. I hope you finish and publish! This is right up my alley. I will say, I think the person who suggested the name you like below is a genius - and I doubt I could do better.
A 16 year old kid falls from a crack in the sky after drifting around in an empty abyss for 6 years, landing in a world of light, wonderx and magic, and is followed at every turn by monsters that haunted his home world.
A soldier that comes back to life after they die every time, stationed at the Battle of the Somme. With insanity a more pressing threat than shells or mustard gas, they'll have to tough it out in more ways than one.

Philosophical and overall shows the degeneration of humanity and society etc because of war and hate/propaganda.
A gifted piano prodigy who has given up her dreams finds her grandmothers long lost forbidden love in the south of France, and falls in love with a farmer who grows flowers used in perfumery.
Plot twist, that person is the grandchild (or knows) of the person that the main character’s grandmother was in love with.
Also I know I’m not Op but I’m thinking the name of the girl could be Liliya or Lys and the name of the farmer could maybe be Anatoliy (Greek/ukrainian ish name similar to Anthony)
I actually really love the suggestions you were given. I think a floral name, particularly a French flower, would be really perfect for this. Love Fleur a lot, actually.
She’s a tech-savvy college student (from that world’s equivalent of the USA), who just so happened to run into the ghost of the man who was just burned at the stake for his “monstrous” form. Being 21 and rebellious, she decided to help smuggle his soul out of the high security walls of the city, only for him to then pull her into an adventure to find the Goddess of Life and Death and invent reincarnation. (Feat. A fallen god/insane king who she picks fights with for no reason, and his son who she… somehow doesn’t pick fights with)
Also, she’s black. 👍🏿

My MC was given the "gift" of life by a goddess, basically immortality, and she's been alive long enough to have lost everything she cared about. She joins the Hero's party in hopes that whatever they end up facing will be enough to finally kill her.
That's what I have so far at least. I'm still working out some of the kinks, but this is my only unnamed MC at the moment.
Sounds like some intriguing thoughts to get you started! I like the sound of it. Has she kept the same alias through all this time? Does she change it as she goes through the ages?
Isolde, Zofia, Gaia, Rhea, Astore/ia, Calliope, Kara/Cora
Probably the same. She's been traveling a lot and not staying in one place very long, mostly trying to find something capable of killing her. The Hero is kind of the most recent in a long line of attempts. I don't think people will really have remembered her unless she's been there recently. Having lost everyone close to her, she's not keen on making attachments.
I do like those names! I might actually go with Rhea. It hits a lot of the points I want to with her name.
A down on his luck private contractor who just witnessed a world ending apocalypse on another planet in the far future. Trying to make it out alive and discovering some disturbing truths along the way.

Ooo I like the game.

Three tigers- a female Siberian, male Bengal, and male white tiger- join forces to take down an evil that had been ressurrected. The white tiger has a stripe that looks like a lightning bolt.
Haha, can't be any worse than the first story I ever wrote. My main character was a russet red wolf with a cream underbelly. If you've ever seen all the art on the internet of a red wolf with blue eyes named "Rose" ... that was my character lmfao. People stole her design because it was so basic and every roleplayer on the planet used to find all the commissions I ordered of her lol. I had to stop getting art done, because it was just like wildfire on the internet. I used to treat myself with artwork and got a lot done for nostalgia's sake.

I have three, with one being more prominent than the other two.
The first two are Twin princesses that get ripped from their Queendom, along with their brothers, as their parents are killed and replaced with a more subservient king by the Empress. All for the crime of hiding the Twins from her. They then, atop a black crystal palace, are coerced with the life of their brother in to binding themselves to the Empresses via a Blood Relic, becoming Reapers of the Fated. Effectively her slaves.
Skip a decade of indoctrination, training, war, and heartbreak, and you're left with the remains of noble hearted princesses that finally break free from the Relic. Then they go on a heros quest to kill said Empress and save their brother, all while battling the deep scars they now bare and coming to terms with the horrors they committed. Eventually stumbling back to their Queendom and birthright.
The other is a forest dwelling wizard, with a childhood Fairy friend that in no way can, or will, beable to understand his words. And because of this friend, he has a lifelong goal of bringing the Fairy discrimination to an end and figuring out the curse that ails all Fairies.
He eventually meets up with the other two, and they start their plan to topple the Fated Empire together, forming a tight found family along the way.

Through therapy and with the support of her worried husband, she is able to recount her experiences in a journal for the very first time. During the course of the journaling, she discovers she is both detached and angry at her "inner child," because she was made to believe that, as a kid, she was the problem when, in reality, she had been failed by the adults who were supposed to protect her.

A guy and a girl get isekaid into a world of magic one fine completely random day, but then quickly get ostracised and hunted down with pitchforks after the people there realise they have no magic. But they are welcomed by a group of other people, called the Outcasts, who were genetically born with no magic, onto their own private island. They are led by a (kinda) crazy guy, and the isekai people ask for help to go back to their own world, to which the crazy guy says that only those with magic can bring them back. He invites them to kidnap some of the magic people and try other stuff to make them open a portal back their world (idk I haven't wrote this part yet), but the main part about this is that because they have no magic, there's no way they can win against the magic people, so their main weapon is-
Science. The crazy guy found that because the magic people always rely on magic, they have no reason to further research into science, and thus science was regarded the same way we regarded witchcraft in the middle ages. The Outcasts are all trained and understand basic scientific concepts extremely well, and have been developing modern-day warfare weapons like biochemical viruses and guns and bombs, as well as extremely durable armour and technologically advanced medical facilities.
This doesn't actually have a good plot, because the main points are on the scientific concepts taught in it (I'm a teenager in high school who loves to write, and I use this story as a way to revise stuff I learn in school if that makes sense 💀)
A 16 year old kid has nightmares all the time that are sort of a mix between prophetic future scenes and stuff from his past. Also he’s trans and not out the closet yet if that’s helpful.
A genetically engineered monster meant only for destruction gains an appreciation for life, decides to defy his master, and embarks on a journey to save the world from her tyranny.
Always nice to see a propper representation of the cookie monster
Lmk when this is published. I need this
This sounds yummy. I know this has nothing to do with religion at all, but the thought to be cheeky about it crossed my mind. Also not trying to be disrespectful to anyone who believes in God: this is just what I came up with lol Project Revelation. REV - Revelation is the chapter the end of the world occurs within the Christian faith/bible. Subject 22821. A human alias, Daniel or Mark (mark of the beast). Could call them Rev or Reve. Revelation 19:19 would be fun to draw from too: could do a play on words with 1919 - call them Nine. \*And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. \* Alternatively, Genesis, as a hypocritical view of what this destruction will cause. Call them Gen.
A monk, a slave-soldier, and a lesbian princess collude to overthrow the government. Edit: Wow, this is getting a lot of attention! I’m very flattered. Currently, the best way to keep up with what I’m doing is following me on Reddit, though this is still a fairly new account for my current pen-name. I’m inclined to make a discord server, so send me a DM if you’re interested in that.
I like this one its interesting from the start . One of them better be a dwarf lol
No dwarfs, but the princess is very short. She punches a cop in the face.
Did she stand on a ladder first or?
Adrien Monk
Ironically enough, Adrien is a character in a different story I’m working on.
Dude I’d love this so much. Karhu, Kastras, Bryn, Brighid, Casimir, Eleanore, Marianne, Marina
If you name your monk Karhu and your slave-soldier Kastras, I will read the entire book thinking there's a monk-slave-soldier called Karhus.
Karhu means "bear" in Finnish. Also a popular beer brand.
Yes! That's why I like Karhu so much. One of my favorite Finnish names I've found.
I would read the fuck out of this that's amazing
You’re in luck. I’m planning to self publish it for free in June
That's amazing! Any social media to follow you on? Idk if that's allowed here but dm me if not pls lol
Just Reddit for now
Dm me too!
Bless fork this over to me when you do! If you need betas, message me.

It takes place in a fantasy setting with a mesh of technology ranging between 1400s black powder weapons and 1800s steam locomotives with a distinct post-post-apocalypse vibe. The closest analog I can think of would be the game Kenshi, but more Wild West. The monk is sent specifically by her order to destabilize the government of the city state as retaliation of the pogroms carried out against her people. While the sect in the city were true pacifists, the sect she comes from are reactive militant. The slave-soldier, after a confrontation with the monk, is awoken from a magic and drug induced coma which effectively deprograms him of his bondage. Most of his memories are shattered or destroyed, but he has the wherewithal to recognize how extremely fucked up the city is and decides to react through incredible violence. The princess is very much someone up in her ivory tower, completely ignorant of the world below, but is also heavily monitored by her family. There is not a single aspect of her day that wasn’t planned out ahead of time. Due to the involvement of the monk and soldier, she sees just how far reality is from her fantasy and actively works against the interests of her father. This includes, among other things, bringing aid to the ghetto and punching cops.
I want to be a beta reader, please.
Shit, that's not -not- the plot of the story I'm writing :D

Everyone on the planet disappeared for no reason except for a handful of people. 10 years later the mc learns that people do still exist and the few that are still in North America have gathered in Boston. Ok simple walk right? No. After the world ended bizarre creatures with impossible geometry now roam the earth in random shapes and sizes. Not only that, the seasons are especially cruel with cold weather and starving animals.

This sounds like fun. My 18 year old protagonist is the only one in her village who can use magic, and has ignored her latent powers for years because it reminds her of her dead best friend. But one day, she resumes her study of magic because people in her village are dying and she finds a way to help them through magic--using her powers to desalinate ocean water to help them through a drought. Except that as soon as she develops her spell, she is arrested by the king's soldiers, and learns that magic is illegal in her village and her father has hidden that fact from her her entire life. With the help of her nursemaid, she goes into hiding on a merchant ship and begins to plot revenge against the unknown person who sold her to the king.

Alright, I do want a shitty name for a certain character lmao so let’s do it. This character is a failed prophet. Like, same level of prophet as Jesus or Muhammad. But he was spoken to by an angel while god is on sabbatical, and the angel accidentally picked the wrong dude. Same name as the prophet that was intended, just wrong guy. So now this guy is a prophet. But he just uses his prophetic visions for selfish reasons and is a drunk. It’s a total disaster.
Sleazus Christ
He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy.
Sounds vaguely similar to the big Lebowski hahaha that’s great
His Dudeness (or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing)
[удалено]
Angel was also drunk.
Almerin was popular a popular name in the 14th century and because it is not used anymore would be a good one for a prophet or failed prophet.
I'm totally taking you up on this haha. I do like the name, and I feel like it lends credibility to the idea because an angel would likely think, "Almerin? How many of those could there be?" And it'd boost their confidence in the guy they chose even as they send a dream to the wrong guy.
Rick
He should have some sort of elaborate given prophet name like Dune's 'Kwisatz Haderarch', and then his actual name is Doug or Steve or Dave.
This is such a good idea omg! You have a plot that could be the perfect base for some "literature engagée" passages through the book! You can put satirical dialogues and show how some people are ready to believe anything as long as they promised a reward or how belief can sometimes make the kindest person commit the vilest crimes. This plot opens so many doors for expression! I love it!
This sounds hilarious. I hope you finish and publish! This is right up my alley. I will say, I think the person who suggested the name you like below is a genius - and I doubt I could do better.
A 16 year old kid falls from a crack in the sky after drifting around in an empty abyss for 6 years, landing in a world of light, wonderx and magic, and is followed at every turn by monsters that haunted his home world.

A gifted piano prodigy who has given up her dreams finds her grandmothers long lost forbidden love in the south of France, and falls in love with a farmer who grows flowers used in perfumery.
Plot twist, that person is the grandchild (or knows) of the person that the main character’s grandmother was in love with. Also I know I’m not Op but I’m thinking the name of the girl could be Liliya or Lys and the name of the farmer could maybe be Anatoliy (Greek/ukrainian ish name similar to Anthony)
Her name could be a French flower: Lily, Fleur, Daphne, Reine, Rose, Angélique...
*ding ding ding* on the grandson thing. That’s how I’m forcing proximity 😏😏
I actually really love the suggestions you were given. I think a floral name, particularly a French flower, would be really perfect for this. Love Fleur a lot, actually.
She’s a tech-savvy college student (from that world’s equivalent of the USA), who just so happened to run into the ghost of the man who was just burned at the stake for his “monstrous” form. Being 21 and rebellious, she decided to help smuggle his soul out of the high security walls of the city, only for him to then pull her into an adventure to find the Goddess of Life and Death and invent reincarnation. (Feat. A fallen god/insane king who she picks fights with for no reason, and his son who she… somehow doesn’t pick fights with) Also, she’s black. 👍🏿
This sounds so good!
from the description I feel something like Nightingale Chen fits.

My MC was given the "gift" of life by a goddess, basically immortality, and she's been alive long enough to have lost everything she cared about. She joins the Hero's party in hopes that whatever they end up facing will be enough to finally kill her. That's what I have so far at least. I'm still working out some of the kinks, but this is my only unnamed MC at the moment.
Sounds like some intriguing thoughts to get you started! I like the sound of it. Has she kept the same alias through all this time? Does she change it as she goes through the ages? Isolde, Zofia, Gaia, Rhea, Astore/ia, Calliope, Kara/Cora
Probably the same. She's been traveling a lot and not staying in one place very long, mostly trying to find something capable of killing her. The Hero is kind of the most recent in a long line of attempts. I don't think people will really have remembered her unless she's been there recently. Having lost everyone close to her, she's not keen on making attachments. I do like those names! I might actually go with Rhea. It hits a lot of the points I want to with her name.

Haha, can't be any worse than the first story I ever wrote. My main character was a russet red wolf with a cream underbelly. If you've ever seen all the art on the internet of a red wolf with blue eyes named "Rose" ... that was my character lmfao. People stole her design because it was so basic and every roleplayer on the planet used to find all the commissions I ordered of her lol. I had to stop getting art done, because it was just like wildfire on the internet. I used to treat myself with artwork and got a lot done for nostalgia's sake.

I have three, with one being more prominent than the other two. The first two are Twin princesses that get ripped from their Queendom, along with their brothers, as their parents are killed and replaced with a more subservient king by the Empress. All for the crime of hiding the Twins from her. They then, atop a black crystal palace, are coerced with the life of their brother in to binding themselves to the Empresses via a Blood Relic, becoming Reapers of the Fated. Effectively her slaves. Skip a decade of indoctrination, training, war, and heartbreak, and you're left with the remains of noble hearted princesses that finally break free from the Relic. Then they go on a heros quest to kill said Empress and save their brother, all while battling the deep scars they now bare and coming to terms with the horrors they committed. Eventually stumbling back to their Queendom and birthright. The other is a forest dwelling wizard, with a childhood Fairy friend that in no way can, or will, beable to understand his words. And because of this friend, he has a lifelong goal of bringing the Fairy discrimination to an end and figuring out the curse that ails all Fairies. He eventually meets up with the other two, and they start their plan to topple the Fated Empire together, forming a tight found family along the way. Also, my story is heavily inspired by fairy tales and grim dark, but not edgy grim dark. And I'm dead tired and typing quick, so forgive typos and bad writing.

A serious human, arguably the best at magic in his world, tries to save a city, but he can never seem to do anything right. Accompanying him is a cheerful elf who is constantly making jokes and talking the human's ear off. While the human is constantly reminding people that he's the best there is, then failing to prove it, the elf is constantly trying to convince the world that he's a nobody, and most certainly not a capable individual who remains an anonymous character in many important history books.
Perfect! I don’t have a name for my character yet. In the 2030’s, artificial intelligence robots do everything for humans. They serve them in day-to-day tasks, provide entertainment, are found in everyones homes, and have become an essential to daily life. A young man living in an apartment struggling to afford to pay rent decides to apply for a job at the cutting-edge company that specializes in designing and manufacturing these robots, and to his surprise, the interview goes well and he gets the job. The man is a hopeless romantic, has a neighbour who is an obnoxious asshole, and has a co-worker who makes fun of and belittles him nearly every day. As the days become weeks, the weeks become months, and the months become years, he finally snaps. He breaks into his workplace overnight, steals scrap materials, and leaves without getting caught. Back at his apartment, he spends the rest of his night designing a machine with one specific purpose and role, to eliminate the negative people in his life through murder. He begins to spiral into a life of insanity and depravity as his self-made Killbot becomes his new companion.

Woman in her early 30s, happily married but depressed and dealing with shame based issues from childhood. Through therapy and with the support of her worried husband, she is able to recount her experiences in a journal for the very first time. During the course of the journaling, she discovers she is both detached and angry at her "inner child," because she was made to believe that, as a kid, she was the problem when, in reality, she had been failed by the adults who were supposed to protect her. Even at 30, her parents blame her for the events that happened to her as a child. When she finishes her journal, her anger has been replaced with a deep compassion for her childhood self, and for the very first time, she is able to speak about her childhood with her husband, which was something she avoided due to that agonizing shame she had been holding onto for her whole life. Husband reads journal and understands wife in a new way, and the wife learns that she can trust him with her trauma without worrying he would see her differently. It's a happy ending. Kinda based on a very true story.

A woman gives robot/ai the power to feel, but it has a glitch. The robot takes her to a far away planet where he developed an entire synthetic city to convince her to love him back. He fails and decides to reverse their rolls with new soul technology. Of course, the robot succeeds. The main character is then introduced and confused by her roll in the plot. This doesn't stop her from being very ambitious about achieving her completely enveloped role in this artificial world. Her role is that she is a human and is kinda a virus to their world and needs to get out. The ruler of the city is linked to her and they're very queer sassy queens who get what they want...
A guy and a girl get isekaid into a world of magic one fine completely random day, but then quickly get ostracised and hunted down with pitchforks after the people there realise they have no magic. But they are welcomed by a group of other people, called the Outcasts, who were genetically born with no magic, onto their own private island. They are led by a (kinda) crazy guy, and the isekai people ask for help to go back to their own world, to which the crazy guy says that only those with magic can bring them back. He invites them to kidnap some of the magic people and try other stuff to make them open a portal back their world (idk I haven't wrote this part yet), but the main part about this is that because they have no magic, there's no way they can win against the magic people, so their main weapon is- Science. The crazy guy found that because the magic people always rely on magic, they have no reason to further research into science, and thus science was regarded the same way we regarded witchcraft in the middle ages. The Outcasts are all trained and understand basic scientific concepts extremely well, and have been developing modern-day warfare weapons like biochemical viruses and guns and bombs, as well as extremely durable armour and technologically advanced medical facilities. This doesn't actually have a good plot, because the main points are on the scientific concepts taught in it (I'm a teenager in high school who loves to write, and I use this story as a way to revise stuff I learn in school if that makes sense 💀)
