Random Notes

Things have kicked off, and I find myself needing a place to make little notes, so WHY NOT HERE.

Initiates in the Order don't get names. They are Initiate ____, wherein ____ is a modified finnish number which to them is their class ranking. They are further broken down by a class name. A class of initiates is only 7-12 people at a time, starting from around age 10. They spend ten years in training before getting a chance to become an Acolyte. They may change rank several times, and thus "name".  The ranks are:
1: Yuksi
2: Kaksi
3: Kolm
4: Nei
5: Viisi
6: Kusi
7: Setsa
8: Khadek
9: Yidek
10: Menen
11: Kysit
12: Kasit

Each class has a prefix in order to tell them apart from one another. Like, the MC is Sa-Viisi, her classmate is Sa-Kolm, and a total moron who is barely able to wipe his own ass much less diagnose a child's illness is Tu-Menen. :D

As Acolytes they get a nickname given to them by their master when they step up.

The highest rank are Maesters (males) and Mavens (female) and they get legit real names at this point.
--------------------------------------
Welp, first unexpected plot shift. The MC (Sa-Viisi, for now) is freinds with the Sa-Kolm; and his twin sister, who was the Sa-Kasit of their group ended up being outed as having unsavory magic, and got monstered. Sa-Kolm wants to become an Acolyte so he can try and find her to save her, transform her back if possible, and when he finds out the truth about the monsters, he stages an unsavory magic reveal of himself and willingly becomes a monter so he can go find her; he escapes a few days before the MC herself does.
