In a fantasy or in-lore setting, what would the Villagers' religion(s) be called?

This is just something fun for worldbuilding. Some ideas I thought of are Testificatism, Testification, Testificationism, Testament, Testimony, The Emerald Path, The Burning Light(because Mobs burn in the day), Tradecraft, Commerce, etc etc etc. I also kinda wanted to think up something relating to the "good news" in reference to Villager News but I can’t come up with anything clever enough.

How about followers of said religion(s)? Emeraldsmiths? Emeraldists? Testificates? Testifiers? The Witnesses or Witnessers? Golemics? Children of the Emerald? The Emeraldkind? Etc etc etc.

What about Illager religion(s) and their followers? Pestificationism? Vindication? Evokerianism or Evokerism? Evocation?

What about other Villager/Illager variants such as witches?

Are there any good alternatives to the Ancient Builders or Illagers?

I’m just curious if anyone can think of any other reasonable explanations to Minecraft’s lore. The Ancient Builders are the reason for everything because they make the most sense. Then there’s Illagers with their whole experimentation and dabbling in dark practices. Could there be any other possible alternatives? I guess the closest would be actual gods or rather the Hosts from Legends but that’s a whole other thing. How about otherworlders? That could be another alternative. Perhaps there existed interdimensional travelers from some other world or something specific like the End. Just throwing out ideas.

Since Villagers used to be called Testificates what similar name could Illagers be given?

I was trying to look for something antonymous to testificate but the closest words I can find are Falsificates, Accusers, Refuters, Renounced, and Repudiates/Repudiators. I kinda like Falsificate. Another one I thought of is Detestificate or better yet Detester. Detester seems kinda perfect because not only is it short for detestificate but detest is already a real word that fits the Illagers. Another one I thought could work is Illegitimate or Illagitimate, which kinda sounds like a combination of Illager and the word legitimate. I don’t know. This is just for funsies.

Going off of the Superpowers videos, what powers would other characters have?

Bowser, Chef Pee Pee, Mario, Rosalina, Jeffy, Brooklyn, etc. Obviously Chef Pee Pee would have some food or cooking-related power. Jeffy already has his weird magic drawing abilities with his pencil. Don’t really have any other ideas for the rest.

Any clever name ideas for practitioners who’s magic is solely rooted in magic circles? Or magic based on magic circles alone?

Magic Circlers? Encirclers? Encirclementers or Encirclementals? Circulators? Circuiters? Circulars or Circularies/Circularians? Circlists or Circulists? Enringers? I can’t really think of anything that works well. Encircurgy or Circurgy? Pentagrammar? Geomegicry? Geometrist?

If the effects in Demon Slayer were actual elemental powers instead of being fake, what would the power system for humans be like?

In the scenario where they aren’t just for visual effect and are actually physical powers. Breathing is literally breathing the elements or something. Granted, it does turn Demon Slayer into yet another typical fantasy series or rather more than it kinda was but I don’t know. I’m just curious.

Anyone have any ideas for headcanons and additions to character origin stories?

I just wish we got to see more personal stories from Dragon Ball characters. Characters whose origins are more mystery than fact. Specifically minor characters. I personally would love to know Korin’s story. How is he from Other World? What exactly is he? How did Korin’s Tower and the Lookout come to be? How did he become a master of martial arts? How did he meet Yajirobe? What about Yajirobe’s story? What about the Karinga Tribe who live on the Sacred Land of Korin? I would also love to know more of Roshi’s story aside from the stuff we’re told. I wanna know his relationship with his sister Baba. What was that like? Do they have a love-hate thing going on? How did Baba become the person she is? What about Roshi and Baba’s family? Did Roshi and Baba use to be friends with Shen? What was his true story with Mutaito and how did he and Shen become such rivals? What about the real story of Kami and Katas. What about the first Guardian of Earth and how the Lookout and Time Chamber came into creation? Tien and Chiaotzu’s story? Yamcha’s story? Personally I believe Yamcha is an orphan or was abandoned in the desert by his parent(s), thus growing up in the wild, forming a connection with wolves, meeting Puar, etc. What about Dr. Brief and Mrs. Brief’s story? Gero and Vomi’s story with Gevo(Android 18)? Mr. Satan and his wife? The list can go on.

Any headcanons or general ideas for what the Android Twins were like before they were experimented on? Their life, family, etc? How about Gero and his family in general?

Personally I’d like to believe they were rebellious teenagers who got into trouble. Perhaps they broke into Gero’s lab or broke into some Red Ribbon Army base, then somehow got into Gero’s cold hands. Rather than just randomly being kidnapped. They broke into whatever then instead of being punished, Gero thought they were the perfect test subjects. Just an idea. As for Gero, I actually really like what DBZA did where Gevo(Android 16) was killed by Goku’s Kamehameha, and as an act of revenge he reconstructed his son to kill Goku. Perhaps Gevo really liked animals when he was human, maybe even wanted to be a veterinarian or zoologist or something of the sort. Just another idea.

If Dragon Ball had leaned way more into its fantasy roots for the future sci-fi elements in Z and beyond how would things have been different?

Personally I would’ve preferred a mix between sci-fi and the mystical adventure of early Dragon Ball. Perhaps the alien sci-fi stuff could’ve been more like the fantastic-y retrofuturism of Treasure Planet. The technology in Treasure Planet just feels perfect for Dragon Ball to me. Anyone else think differently or have any other ideas? I also understand that Dragon Ball Z and afterwards still preserve those early fantasy elements, it’s just that I kinda wish the sci-fi was way more mystical like early Dragon Ball.

What if an Angel Clan existed for Namekians?

I feel like this is a concept that makes sense considering all the gods and angels in Super. It would also be counterpart to the Demon Clan Namekians. Perhaps this could be tied to some Zalama stuff? Just an idea.

There is just so much—TOO MUCH—one can do with the naming conventions of Dragon Ball. But I’m wondering if anyone has any serious or nonserious ideas for random characters’ family members. Bulma has her father Dr. Brief, her mother Bikini, her sister Tights, but what about a larger family tree? What would the names of Dr. Brief’s parents be? That’s what I’m asking. So many names could be made like Stocking, Boxer, Sleeve, Halterneck, Diaper(the poor sap who would be named that), and so much more. What about other characters like Vegeta’s father’s parents and ancestors, Grandpa Gohan’s family tree, Bardock and Gine’s family trees, Yamcha’s parents, Tien’s parents, Krillin’s parents, etc etc etc.

What I mean is specifically a word antonymous to almighty but still starting with al. The "al" in almighty being short for "all" that is. I’ve tried to make up a word for it but none of them work. Alfiendy? Alblighty? Almalefic? Aldemony? None of them really sound right and they sound too cartoonish.
