I'm working on a scifi/fantasy story and I've hit a sort of road-block.

I can't seem to think of a name or cultural nickname for a race in my setting.
>They are cloned humans that are genetically modified in a lab to be the perfect servants
>They are strong, moderately intelligent, and resistent to disease
>All of them are male, and they are treated fairly
>They work for half a season, then are given complete freedom for half a season, in cycles
>They are given more respect than you'd typically expect of a slave, but many people still look down on them

Does anyone have any suggestions?

The story will essentially be about a man of this race breaking the mould of this culture, and aspiring to have a life beyond servitude to become a space pirate that fucks alien bitches.

I love the idea in all honesty. For my short stories and every type of thing I create, I usually fall back to fantasynamegenerator. Com. It helped me with everything from names to weapons to ships. Really good tool to use. Wish you best of luck!

Despite how often I use this for other stuff, I didn't think to use it for something like a faction or caste of people. Thanks Anons.

I thought it would be more interesting to write this sort of story about a race that is treated with more dignity. The idea of someone choosing a life of danger and consequence over one of comfort seems compelling to me.

don't listen to him that's really an offensive term for ''African american''. I wouldn't use that.

>>731467504
I'd combine known attributes with bastardized latin:
servant: servus
male: masculum
healthy: sanus
ser-ma-nus? No, got the word anus included.
ma-ser-nus? Ok i guess?
Something like that, names with meanings behind them are more fun, you don't even have to tell the audience how you developed the name.

But my main protagonist is literally going to ravage one of his master's wives at the end of the first chapter, and she is a "woman of color". (Which will in some way be symbolic of modern man breaking free from the chains of "Political Correctness" and taking his own path.)

Why not call them the Eutomers? A Eutomer is created to have a purpose in life.

That's an interesting thought, too. I have a scene with exposition where a geneticist is discussing how they came in to being. I might make him refer to them by a name like this, instead, while "serf" or "slave" will be what common people call them.
>>
>>731468490
Serfs werent just black, what the fuck are you on. Ignore this guy, the word Serf is a decent moniker for these people, based on your limited description. Perhaps phase serfs, or cyclic serfs,or seasonal serfs. Find a term that fits the on/off of the name, but keep the serf part, it fits.
>>
>>731468490
its a medieval term..

>>731467504
Names don't matter
If you cannot just leave a filler and move on you have a much deeper problem
This is common among people who always talk about writing stories, but never finish them.

Forget the name, write the story

What if instead of your character having consensual sex with one colored woman it was just a story about one great big Nig Nog who rapes a bunch of white women then gets linched.
>>
>>731468858
The reason I like "serf" is because it can also be used with futuristic sounding shit. I'm trying to give a vibe where the reader will get comfortable with medieval/historical shit one moment, and then suddenly remember, "Oh yeah, they're all on a starship".

>>731468884
You're right, anon. From here on out I'm just going to use a randomly generated filler word until I can come up with something. It's good advice.
>>
>>731468981
Nah, we've already seen that shit get played out. Racially charged stuff isn't really that great, anyway. Who really cares anyway?
>>
>>731468858
All serfs were Irish (Who used to black) but through years of selective breeding were made acceptable for the white man to look at. However their negroid features are still apparent despite generations of selective breeding/culling.

I gave thought to "Thralls", actually. or something similar, but I felt like it was a tad too heavy-handed. I wanted to still give the impression that they had some freedoms and weren't completely under the control of their masters.
