| - | Names in the world of UMBA tend to be single, evocative words. Inspiration may come from natural phenomena (e.g. Storm, Quake), mechanics (e.g. Wrench, Spillpipe), or from flora and fauna (e.g. Snakebite, Flytrap). Generally (but not always), a person's name will give some hint as to their vocation - a super Fan may be called "Limpet", a Rules Lawyer may be called "Lectern", and an Archaeotech expert may be called "Spark". | + | Names in the world of UMBA tend to be single, evocative words.

| Children tend to have generic, simple names. When they are old enough to be independent, they will choose their own names, often formally adopting a nickname, or choosing a name relating to their chosen path. Adults may change their names occasionally, but doing so is a big deal - it is akin to declaring that you have completely changed your vocation and goals in life. For example, an aspiring Monster Hunter working in a restaurant between contracts is unlikely to have a food-related name, but a retired Monster Hunter who decides to become a chef will probably change their name. | Children tend to have generic, simple names.

| As a rough guide, a name should sound cool, and be the kind of thing that you could imagine a crowd chanting in an arena. Think wrestlers and fighting robots. | As a rough guide, a name should sound cool, and be the kind of thing that you could imagine a crowd chanting in an arena.
