Mr_Clark, I am in desperate need for adivce for my story-
How did you come up with the name Atoning Deviant? I'm completely stumped.
Why I'm asking this is because I have another Halo in my story and I need a name for the monitor for Installation 02. I've asked all my friends and they're stumped too; figures.
Well, Guilty is synonymous with Penitent. So all you really need to do is find a list of synonyms for the word guilty, or penitent and go from there. Deviant was just a clever little addition I added on to make the monitor have a bit of personality in his name.

Didnt the names of the monitors have something all in common?
Guilty Spark and Penitent Tangent mean basically the same thing, and Atoning is the same as feeling guilty, plus tangent/deviant are also synonomous.
So just find a name like 7 Rueful Wayward. that is a bad name, but the words sort of mean the same thing as the other three.
The number is for Installation 02, since 343 is for 04, then 03 would 49, and so on.
That's right, Atoning Deviant is from Halo Installation 01, so his correct name is 1 Atoning Deviant, but that sounds dumb, so I have him always introduce himself as "The first". Which sounds better, and also gives an insight into his own particular self-image.
