For some reason, i love the word Archaic. I guess maybe because i am an English Literary major? Maybe i am a bit pretentious, or just a butt nugget idk.

Trepidation is good for characters in a rather paranoid position, or even a bit of Absol-ing. Inspires me to use that in my COR backstories.

I've been trying to pick more descriptive words that aren't common so having "archaic" in the definition usually means it's a pretty old word, so it's less likely they you've heard of it before.

I've found myself using more and more of these words in my stories. And if you need to look up a definition, but you can't remember what word it is, I've created a link page in the first post that will link you to each word.
