yeah go ahead those are one of the "common" names. But the particular Thowra we've made up is C. MH. Names like Dusk, Dawn, Thowra. They're perty common but like Black Death, Death's Shadow, Blood Lust, Shetan, Ziyadah ((threw in her own horse's name for reference sake)) aren't so ya know?

But please, you can't copyright names. Death's Shadow? My friend thought it up yeeaaars ago in this RPG called Mystics and Fury, been dead for time past remembrance, so it's just proof that you can't really copyright names! It simply can't be done. Would you like to copyright the number 36537563? Sure, it'll probably never turn up in real life just by random occurrences, but you can't stop people from thinking of them! I know how you feel about people stealing names (in fact, i myself helped root out a couple blatant posers before, and i do get into killing rages when someone tries to steal my own creativity) and it's one of my own pet peeves. That's why we got rules in this place sayin' u better not copy characters, or else you'll get rejected, exiled, driven out, unaccepted, etc. etc. etc. But you simply cannot copyright names. Anyhow, you don't need copyrights here; we take peeps on their honor. Any fools low enough to steal from other peeps just needta get a life...and their own imagination. The rules are rules. Thank you.
