bloodborne is a complicated game and everyone has their own take on what the "real story" is. the wikis are inconsistent, the speculation unfounded, and if you have no intention of playing the game but want to investigate its truly unique world of victorian england-ish supernatural gothic horror, trying to wring out a smidgen of understanding from what the fans have cobbled together is an exhaustive, if not impossible, effort

i know this because i am doing this exhaustive effort. i am embarrassed at how long this is taking and how thorough it is. it is over 10k words of bloodborne plot and lore. i am doing my best to untangle the knots and chase threads based on the source text as much as i can without veering from the contents of the game (or its development). i have played the game myself a quadrillion times and care way too much about it.

if you enjoy this, consider throwing me a small donation. i don't know if i should be financially rewarded for this kind of stuff but i guess entertainment writing is entertainment.

I see this a lot, no one has actual names, or any reference for names, that are legit Native American, varying among the tribes, for their characters.

Babynames.com and shit like that will give you names made up by white people.

However, I’ve got your solution.

Native-Languages  is a good website to turn to for knowledge on a lot of native things, including native names. If you’re unsure about the names you’ve picked, they even have a list of made up names here!
