Behind the Names

 

This is currently only the basic definitions of some of the new names, but it helps to evidence the nature of the characters, since everything is symbolic. For some of them, like Spicer, Mason, Sawyer, etc., it will be hard to understand why I would pick a name with that meaning if the names are meant to be part of their definition as characters, but 1. I didn't only choose their names and characters based on some dictionary definition, and 2. They usually do, still, have something to do with them as characters, even if it is a little vague.
