flag id: two images of the same flag with 6 stripes. the stripes emerge from the middle of the top edge and the bottom left corner of the flag and form a point towards the right side of the flag, with the point being about 1/3 of the way down the flag's height. from left to right, the stripes are bright yellow, bright orange, orange-red, bright orange, bright yellow, and bright green-yellow. the left flag has the elekterate symbol in the center, which is a simple bright green-yellow outline of a lightning bolt with four swirling lines of wind emerging from its right side. the symbol is outlined and filled in with light yellow. end id.
banner id: a 1600x200 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting. those on my / dni may still use my terms, so do not recoin them.’ in large white text in the center. the text takes up two lines, split at the slash. end id.
elekterate: a neogender umbrella for terms related to electricity, lightning, and (super)speed
[pt: elekterate: a neogender umbrella for terms related to electricity, lightning, and (super)speed. end pt]
concepts included under elekterate:
electricity/energy, bright/neon lights, technology with visible electrical components, the crackle and hum of electricity, lightbulbs, etc.
lightning, lightning storms, and, in relation, thunder
speed, super speed, acceleration, breaking the sound barrier, technology/vehicles/etc. that enhance speed, etc.
electric eels, jellyfish, citrusy/sour/acidic tastes, static shocks/cling, feelings of shock, and other things tangentially related to/associated with electricity
neon shades of yellow, yellow-green, and cyan, and bright shades of orange and red
derived terms:
bult, plural bults: an elekterate person (derived from 'bultaz', proto-germanic ancestor of 'bolt', intended in the sense of both 'lightning bold' and 'a burst of speed')
cour, plural cours: an older elekterate person (derived from french 'courant', in the sense of electrical current, and old french 'courre', meaning 'to run')
engi, plural engin: a younger elekterate person (derived from 'energia', late latin for 'energy')
elektage: an elekterate gender ('elekterate' + 'age', as in voltage, amperage, etc.)
eltin: elekterate-in-nature
elektrine: having elekterate qualities (equivalent of masculine/feminine). noun form is elektrinity
eneratic: elekterate gender alignment ('energy' + 'accelerate')
transelektrine, transelek: transitioning towards elektrinity
the term is 'elekt' from ancient greek 'elektron' (an ancestor of 'electric') + 'erate' from 'accelerate' (with 'er' also calling to mind 'energy')!
the flag is meant to look like the zigzagging path of both lightning and speedsters. red represents physical energy/speed, yellow represents lightning/electrical energy, orange represents a combination of the two, and lime green represents things like citrus and electric eels.
the symbol is lightning bolt (12) and the wind from wind blowing face from this folder — the wind is supposed to represent a sort of speed trail or dust/dirt kicked up behind a runner. here it is by itself:
[image id: the left and right images are of the kyrogalis symbol, which is a simple bright green-yellow outline of a lightning bolt with four swirling lines of wind emerging from its right side. the image of the symbol on the left is outline and filled in with light yellow, while the right is not. a blank image is placed between the two symbols to make them take up less space on the screen. end id.]
and here's the template for those who want to coin elektages!
