    Creative question here for something I'm working on.

    There is a female character whose title is "Aribter of Odin". It's a long story, but the short version is the Great Divines have each sent an Arbiter to settle a dispute with Yahweh once and for all. One of those Divines is the Norse god Odin. But I'm thinking of temporarily changing her title to "Arbiter of Lucifer" because of a specific story reason. (And just FYI, Lucifer was a mistranslation of the Hebrew metaphor "Morning Star, Son of Dawn" which had nothing to do with the Devil. Its more connected to the Canaanite god Helel and possibly the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar .)

    I've gotten some strange push back on it even though this is fantasy. But I thought Arbiter of Lucifer sounded more marketable and commercial than Arbiter of Odin. And again, its actually related to the plot. So, I'm not just arbitrarily (no pun intended) changing it.

    But I just figured I'd ask here to get opinions. Still not sure if I'm going to change it or not.

    Um...you do you I guess?

    When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.

    Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.
