"He was a man who allowed himself the indulgence of a hot water kettle in every room, and wasn't at all ashamed of it." See? I write shit like that and see why I don't write more.

Every female charater you make: Make them beautiful in their own very unique way; make them tender in their """"; and, make them each crazy """"".

One of these being a "hibernation pilot." A person chosen in the past to come into the future. To go into hibernation intentionally to live longer into the future---at the expense of having to ive in the future.

Before FTL---to set up the first way points to permit FTL (jumps consume the energy equivalents of a gas giant's mass, and you got to find those gas giants out ther first.). So they have character traits the past thought would let them thrive in the present. And they do in their own way---just a little too driven by gods and all that

One of these is a pair of societies trying to stop a forever war. And so they're trying to be peaceful in every way they can in case the actions accidentally get sent across the galaxy and continue the war for maybe millions of years. (Yeah, the other scoeity is of course too far for anyone to see or know what it is. By definition

One's inherent emotion. Kinda the one driving the mind in Inside Out. But more just "that moment at the window" (Unbearable Lightness, I think. That sort of Eastern European nihilism that I just never found that interesting.)
Who they are when they come.

Fang is sadness
I am thrill, with a bit of fear of opening up (I've been hurt and see no reason to be rehurt.)
Min is bashful at her sweetness.

People self-naming on a Naming Day (that varies between cultures, variance suggesting early twenties being the good lower minimum^[But few cultreus went up that high, so it's hard to disentangle effects out there.]). Part of that is choosing how much and what of one's heritage to include in that name. And defining what that heritage is.

So, yeah, surname says a lot if it's Smith or Jones.

Hibisucus "Bessy" OVER ICE

There indeed being a good number of people (n-gram-wise) who have "over" or "ice" in their surnames. Of course, formally affiliated yourself with them is an other thing.

So, yeah, what and how you choose your surname often says more about you than your taken name.

But it nonetheless does represent at least one occasion we give the members of our society when they can formally declare who they think they are. And accept whatever they say as what it is. Legally and socially.
