Wednesday DE: Words. Words! Words? Words.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

In the tabletop RPG Godbound, players pick out three Words for their characters, representing the spheres of influence or domains that they govern or draw power from, ranging from elements like Fire or Earth to things like Dance, Cities, and Music to abstract ideas like Passion, Vengeance, or Desire.

Going off-book for Anakin for one word, and in that he really needs a few he goes through some hella changes, okay.
Pre-Fall Anakin: Fate, War, Protection
Anakin-during-the-Fall: Fate, Protection, Madness
Vader: Fate, War, Might
Dead!Anakin: Fate, Balance, Knowledge

Tavi: ... I am dying trying to pick three. Sob. I got it down to five! -_- Theoretically I could drop Fate, except a) part of the opening epigraph is "It's almost enough to make me believe in Destiny" and b) he's precognitive; theoretically I could drop War because these days he's moving into peacetime... but he's really good at war. I give up.
Command, Knowledge, Protection, War, Fate

(... you get the theme with me here. >_>)

Yamato handily has enough domains already associated with him and his Crest that he's an easy one: He's Winter, Beasts, and -- well, if Moon was there, he'd be Winter, Beasts, and Moon. Night doesn't really fit, so let's go with Winter, Beasts, and War.

Eden is Sun, Knowledge, and Fate.

Okay so some of these are easier than others and this is a really great DE.

Demeter: Earth, Fertility, Protection
Quentin: Command, Deception, Not on there but Blood
Cassian: Deception, Network, War or maybe Death or Fear (not sure which one)
Charles: Knowledge, Command, Passion
Sameth: Death, Engineering, Sorcery

Just a few...
Ahsoka: Light, Agility (Alacrity?), Protection

Sabine: Engineering, Artifice, Redemption

Ben: Death, Loyalty, Might(?)….Regret or Tentacles could be possible as well.

Tybalt: Cats, Pride, Might

Sucy: Intoxication, Knowledge, Madness. Actually, something like fungi or decomposition would work better than Madness. Then again, creepy or weird can be a form of madness right?
