Real Big Fish stood before two of her offspring, staring them down. Her youngest sons, two beautiful boys... who really needed to do something to earn their names. She loved them dearly, but they needed a bit of encouragement. "You know, we're different from every other kind of kin. Our names aren't given to us- the Motherfather doesn't speak to us in that way. We have to grab them, snag each passing chance to act with honor and courage and make our mark on the world. This is what makes us Totoma, the essence of our kind. We earn our names. The problem with this is as follows: I'm sick to death of just calling you "kids." So now it's time to get out there and do something
awesome. Now, pay attention, because I, your loving mother, am going to help you with this. Or rather,
they are."
She led them to two small pools on the beach. A small whale shark cruised the waters of the one on the right; the one on the left contained a shuppy puppy, splasying about happily. "There's one for each of you. They'll help you figure yourself out. Now come on, it's time to go do something cool."
This contest is a naming contest for a couple of Totoma
and a couple of familiars! Each familiar will go with a Totoma, and
must be included in their naming story somehow! Perhaps the tale is a tale of first impressions; perhaps it's a story of hunting excellence. Perhaps the two of them caught a fish
this big. Whatever the case, these familiars are loyal and true, friends for life, and there to adventure by these Totomas' sides. You can enter for both of the brothers and you can even use the same name for both if you really like it, but each story must be different! You can also enter for either the shark or the shuppy, or both. So like, you could do a gray+shark and an orange+shark entry, or you could do gray+shuppy and orange+shark. That's fine! Please keep naming contest entries to a single post- you can edit at will, but it's much easier if you keep your entries together. Also: the Totoma who comes with the shuppy
must join The Cres! These Totoma (and their sister) were born by the sea, so it's not like they have to journey there. Shark Totoma can join if they want to, but they aren't obligated.
Your naming story doesn't have to be long- it just needs to be awesome.

The shark and shuppy weren't the only thing in those pools. There were fish in there, too! If you'd like to try your hand at one, you're more than welcome to do so. Each day you can roll 1d100. At the end of the contest, the two people who were closest to my roll will win a fish!
