Ijad Naming Conventions and Communication

[NinjaLegendDoom]

Good morning everyone. I believe there may already be a thread to answer these questions, but I was unable to find any information on the Wiki or forums.

How do Ijad name themselves? I have seen bits and pieces of Ijad language, but do they carry any names?

Also, as far as I understand it, Ijad are able to communicate psychically to their host/each other, but do they communicate through their host to others, or psychically?

Thank you in advance.

In the front of the MFZ:RA rulebook, it tells of an Ijadhi named Adaj, and how he communicated with his brothers while his Ghanat host expressed itself with its quills, which tells me that the Ijad can communicate with others without the aid of their hosts (as it is not quite explained if a Ghanat can speak). As for naming themselves or their language, I am also in the dark as well.

Thank you Artasid. I am planning a future part of one of my fictions, and wanted an interview with an Ijad. I’m glad to know I could have the Ijad interject it’s own opinions on the host’s interview.

And as such, if the hosts have access to senses outside "normal" range you could still get that dance party that MantisKings's after.

Quite so. They get the host's senses, digestive system, and feel their feelings, even.

This is more of a culture question, but what sort of names/naming conventions do the Ijad have? Or what sort of feel do the names generally have (in relation to actual earth-names...i.e. Cayden is a Celtic feeling name)? I'm writing up my company roster, and there's at least one Ijad-bonded human in it, so I'd like to have the Ijad's given name at least sounding canon.

For that matter, what is the plural of Ijad? Just Ijad, or something else?

( I realized by the time I got to "M" that I didn't need this long a name list until I do the RPG, so I stopped.)

There's some further discussion of the naming conventions after the post.

I wouldn't call the communication between host and ijad psy as they are plugged into the nervous system.

Thank you Atavism, I had though there was a thread, but for the life of me I couldn’t find it!

That is true, I was only considering communication as mind meets mind, not as the Ijad having the potential to completely control their host (not that they would).
