Looking at the names of the characters in the Ninja quests, the Raen conventions seem to be Japanese First Name + English surname composed of two words (adjective+noun/noun+verber), and somewhat related to the first name's meaning in Japanese. My doubt is: are the surnames decided at birth, and SE just made puns by foreshadowing the characters' nature through them? Or are they sort of "titles", that the Doman gain after achieving/becoming famous for certain things, and possibly affected to changes?
I mean, in the case of Karasu Redbeak, the 'red' is referring to the blood that he has spilled in his betryal to Doma. Obviously, his parents couldn't know he'd do that when he was born, so did he gain the "Redbeak" surname only after doing the evil deed? Who knows.
For now, the tentative name for my Raen will be Aki Rainfall (Aki means "autumn", and autumn is rainy). But I'll be waiting to make sure to know how Doman surnames are gained by lore.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
