Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes, that's the best way to describe them. Basically I'm writing a novel where the world has almost been flooded, and certain people have developed the power to manipulate water. There's only one problem.

I have no NAME.

I can think of a few, but they aren't really good. And Water Bender has already been taken. Help please?

Regolatore dell'acqua...

That means Water controller. But I dont think that is what you are looking for... And I will have to move this eventually. But I will let a few people note it.

Hydrokinetics?

Technically the world isn't in that much chaos. The flooding was supposed to happen about 75 years before the story. Most of the chaos has been concentrated in one area of the world, called the.... well, it doesn't have a name either yet, but I'm working on it.

Basically, these people have been around since a few years after the flood, so they've had over 60 years to name them.

Wet folk?

rain makers!!! WOOT! I think that Hydrokinetic is a good one.

yea i agree with the hydrokenetic as well except for one thing. Kenetic means power of the mind.Electrokenetis pryokenetic..so on and so forth. Im not so sure thats what the power is that Bane had in mind...at least how i read it...but if it is then awesome! The name fits. Often knowing what suffixes and prifixes mean can even help you make up you own words with the right meaning. I've done that once or twice. But usually with bazzarre alien-like foodz rofl ever drink qwaffy? ( derived from coffee)

yea but sadly for the english language there had to be a difference from kenetic to kinetic....So confusing isn't it? I wish we all spoe japanese instead...oh that would be grand ^_^ *otaku alert going off*

*edit* ohh i see. My mind auto corrects and saw ken instead of kin. i as the reader got my brain tied up into knots... dramallama GOMENASAI! *bows and hits head on accident successfully knockign self out and shutting up*
