Help[Opinions] Re: Daimin
in reply to a message by Míreth Aquaria
People aren't named for their current condition. They are named by their parents who select names based on their tastes. From what I've seen of your writing you have such a hodge-podge of names that Daimin wouldn't be out of place at all.

okay. Is Daniel better?

I don't know. What fits best for the charater? YOu haven't provided me with any information I could use to determin whether Daimin or Daniel is better for your character.

He lives on a fictional planet called Avanaria.
1
Yes but who IS he? What kind of a person is he? What are (or were) his parents like? What is thier culture like? Do they speak English? Are they Christians? If so Daniel makes more sense. Do they speak an Avanarian language? If so the more unusual Daimin is a better fit.

The sea Avanarian language from the humans is dolphin sounds. They can speak English.
He is a human and they are a peaceful nation. The sea people only come when the person needs help.

I give up
You don't seem to know anything about your charaters, just vague ideas about the world and races you have created. If you want to write you need to develop your charaters as individuals. Until you start doing that I don't think I can help you anymore.

Like how they feel?

That's part of it. Try asking yourself questions about your charaters. What hobbies does this person have? What is their home-life like? Are they quiet? Or talkitive? Think of your characters as real people. Real people have different personalities, tastes, experiences, views, ect. Write your charaters like that. Remember, if something isn't important to the story don't include it. Leilani may love to sing (or whatever) but if her singing never helps to move the plot along it's not important and should be cut.

Leilani is talkitive. She does not like seafood because they might be her family. She has seen some of her mortal friends die. She home-life style is she swims and takes care of her children.

Home-life generally refers to a person's family condition. So, does your charater come from a broken home? Did she have loving parents? What kind of a mother is she now? Did she enjoy her growing up years and try to replicate that experience for her own children or does she try to give her kids a better life than she had.
I'm honestly trying to help you but I'm not sure you're "getting it".

No, she did not come from a broken home. She had loving parents. She is a caring mom but furm in a good way. Yes, she had a good life and yes, to be loving and caring people. Leilani's life was good except for her friends that died. She always cried from that. When Leilani is mad or angry her hair becomes red.

You don't have to tell me the answers to all these questions. I'm just trying to help you develop your characters.
