Naming a kenku fighter
A kenku fighter carries kenku naming tradition into the fighter's calling. Kenku cannot create new sounds, so their names are mimicries — snippets of overheard speech, birdsong, clicks, and trills stitched together. A kenku name is as much a sound-effect as a word. A fighter — a disciplined veteran of a hundred skirmishes — tends toward plain, sturdy names that read as dependable on a muster roll. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
