hey everyone ! by reading call of duty fanfictions, I was inspired and I would like to help writers who are struggling to find code names for their character (whether for y/n [the reader] or for original characters) !
here then is a list of codenames (with their definition, their meaning and what they reflect of the person who has it, arranged in alphabetical order) :
* there are feminine, masculine and neutral names ! mostly neutral.
collar [noun.] : an ornamental chain or string of
beads, jewels, or links worn round
the neck.
[verb.] : to kill someone by putting a
burning rubber tyre around their
neck.
– the person who bears this name (here a woman, because of the funfact of this code name below), could have a soft and welcoming apparence (according to others). She is literally sweet, very calm, rather unsociable and a little shy, but who nevertheless knows how to get out of her comfort zone and be an excellent ally: faithful, efficient and always there for the good moment. We consider ourselves lucky to have her and we do not want to lose her (in anyway, no matter what relationship we have with her).
– Fun fact! : This code name is taken from « She’s my collar », the name of one of Gorillaz and Kali Uchis' songs (two artists I love. This song is a featuring they made together.). In the song, the "collar" was very important and necessary, we can’t hate her. We always end up coming back to her, no matter how ok you try to get away from her. She's literally the collar.
crown [noun.] : a circular ornamental headdress
worn by a monarch as a symbol
of authority, usually made of or
decorated with precious metals
and jewels.
[noun.] : the top or highest part of
something.
– i don’t really have a personality ideas of the person who would bear this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion). However, I think the code name itself says a lot about the role of the person wearing it: they would probably be someone in charge, leading a group.
– Fun fact! : ‘Crown’ is the name of one of Freddie Dredd's songs (an artist I appreciate very much. my favorite song from him is Witness.)
faith [noun.] : strong belief in the doctrines of a
religion, based on spiritual
conviction rather than proof.
[noun.] : complete trust or confidence in
someone or something.
• synonym: trust.
– i think the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), is a person you can trust, who covers everyone's backs. They’re a good right arm, and very chill person.
kerosene [noun.] : a clear liquid with a strong
smell made from coal or
petroleum and used as a fuel
in jet engines or heaters and
lights.
– the person who bears this name (regardless of gender, this one is neutral in my opinion), as its definition implies, is important is useful, being the engine, the energy of something. so I would imagine a leader (of squad or whatever) having it.
– Fun fact! : Kerosene is the name of one of Crystal Castles' songs (one of my favorite musical band. my favorite song from them is Untrust us.)
– For people who would find this name long, Keros (which would come from « kerosene ») or Kero (which sounds like the word « hero ») simply are also very good !
leather [noun.] : a material made from the skin
of an animal by tanning or a
similar process.
– i don’t really have a personality ideas of the person who would bear this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion, but I would see more of a woman with it!), to be honest.. I am sorry. This code name just reminded of the names « Lea » and « Luther ».
Do not hesitate to explain your ideas about it in the comment section.
rain [noun.] : the condensed moisture of the
atmosphere falling visibly in
separate drops.
– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), is a very stoic person, but not necessarily unsociable. We don’t really know what we think of them : they’re like something that falls suddenly without warning and which makes you sick if you do nothing, which can do good or harm (they reflect what rain is, so).
– Fun fact! : Rain (in the pronunciation) looks like the word « Reine » in French which means queen.
realm [noun.] : a kingdom.
[noun.] : a field or domain of activity or
interest.
– i don’t really have a personality ideas of the person who would bear this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion, but I would see more of a woman with it!), to be honest.. I am sorry.
Do not hesitate to explain your ideas about it in the comment section.
siren [noun.] : in greek mythology, a woman
whose song lured unwary sailors
to the rocks.
[noun.] : a device that makes a loud
prolonged signal or warning sound.
– the person who bears this name (rather a woman because of the first definition) is not referred to her charm, her physical appearance, but to her ability to deceive the enemy and to mope in the decor, in the role she plays. this name would therefore go well with a spy (or a traitor, it depends on the point of view of the relations that this woman has with others).
thorn [noun.] : a stiff, sharp-pointed woody
projection on the stem or other
part of a plant.
– the person who bears this name (this one is neutral in my opinion, but I would see more of a men with it!), is a dangerous person. this name is given to him by his bloody parlmaress and his modus operandi that sends shivers down your spine. this name is therefore given to him more for their activities than his person itself.
vamp [noun.] : a woman who is confident that
she is attractive to men makes
use of it in order to get what she
wants, who uses her charm or
wiles to seduce and exploit men.
– the person who bears this name (here a woman because of the definition) is not referred to her charm, her physical appearance, but to her ability to deceive the enemy and to mope in the decor, in the role she plays. this name would therefore go well with a spy (or a traitor, it depends on the point of view of the relations that this woman has with others).
weather [noun.] : the state of the atmosphere at
a particular place and time as
regards heat, cloudiness,
dryness, sunshine, wind, rain,
etc.
[verb.] : wear away or change the
appearance or texture of
(something) by long exposure to
the atmosphere.
– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), could be someone who is lunatic, does things well (although sometimes acts on a whim), and who adapts to any situation. They are easy-going and stubborn at the same time and likes to be in control of anything ! So I see this person being a leader, an example, someone we like to follow, ect, despite their flaws.
– Fun fact! : Weather is the name of one of Freddie Dredd's songs (an artist I appreciate very much. my favorite song from him is Witness.)
worth [noun.] : the level at which someone or
something deserves to be valued
or rated.
[adj.] : sufficiently good, important, or
interesting to be treated or
regarded in the way specified.
– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), is someone you trust. they’re a moralizer, someone who puts people in their place when necessary, who always has the right words.
wraith [noun.] : a ghost or ghostlike image of
someone, especially one seen
shortly before or after their
death.
• synonym: spectre, ghost.
[noun.] : a wisp or faint trace of
something.
– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), is someone you trust. they’re a moralizer, someone who puts people in their place when necessary, who always has the right words.
youth [noun.] : the period between childhood
and adult age.
– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), as its definition implies, is just young (but not a minor). I would imagine the person who has this code name to be the youngest person in the group they are in.
– Fun fact! : I thought of this code name from mine on YouTube (@ youthyja). And yes, this is totally a pub of myself ^^.

... About military things from a soldier :)
Pt.1 / ?: Guns
You wanna write a story with a militaristic setting, like CoD or R6S? And you wanna have action, but you've got no clue about guns and gunfights and don't know where to start?
Well, lucky for you or not I know what that feels like and I've also got the combat / real life experience to help ya out!
Feel free to hop in my askbox or dm's and ask questions. I'll gladly elaborate and do my best to answer in full and plenty.
Happy writing y'all! :)
So, first of all: Guns are heavy. As in multiple kilogramms heavy. A loaded rifle can easily weigh anywhere between 3 - 5kg. Handguns can be between 900gr - 2kg. The exact weight depends on the gun itself and wether it's loaded or not. A gun w a full magazine is obvs gonna weigh more than a gun without.
Second of all: Despite what you see in video games, you do not just pull the trigger and blast your whole magazine at the enemy. It takes seconds to empty a rifle but gunfights can last for hours - hence why soldiers are trained to count their shots and only shoot in salves.
Third of all: If a soldier ever gets to the point where they gotta pick up rifles found on the ground cause they're either outta ammo or lost theirs... They're probably fucked.
Fourth of all: Soldiers know their weapons. They know the exact type, the name, how to dis- and reassemble it in under a minute, gloves on and eyes closed. We know everything we could possibly know about our gun, down to the exact number of how much it weighs. And yes, we gotta take our gun apart and thoroughly clean it after every. Single. Use.
Fifth of all: Do not - and I repeat - do not shoot towards the sky. That bullet you just shot will come down somewhere (gravity n all) and no one can predict where and what damage it'll possibly do upon impact.
Words matter. Framing matters. Hold the media accountable. Don’t repeat their talking points.
