Noveling assistance?

readingredheadWith November creeping ever closer every day, I still need a little help with my story -- but it's help that you can give! Mostly, I have a few things that still need names and descriptions. To be precise, three alien species of mine are missing data, and I need to know the names of the colleges Kes applies to.
The Aliens
Feel free to fill in any of the blank stuff! If you happen to know of any alien friends who would be willing to lend their physiologies to my book, I would be highly grateful.
Name:
Planet:
Appearance: dragon-like; come in blue-green colors; not really big, but not really small, either (not McCaffrey dragons but not fire lizards)
Other: can’t communicate without vox (short for voicebox) implants; don’t breathe fire and get mad when people expect them to; carnivorous and predatory on their homeworld, though civilized enough when around other species; capable of flight, but not for sustained distances
Name:
Planet:
Appearance: these beings are created entirely out of energy (which does have mass, according to Einstein, so this is possible); they have transcended physical form (Web Shifters much?) and mostly keep to themselves; they are ridiculously intelligent and their homeworld is a technological dream, but their lack of a form means that they have a hard time communicating with other beings and thus their scientific discoveries are rarely shared with others.
Name: Daryyli
Planet: Bbek in the Daryyl System
Appearance:
Other: their native language makes use of lots and lots of consonant sounds and few vowels (doubled consonants indicate emphasis)
The Schools
Kes applies to 5 schools: a reach school, 3 mid-range schools, and an ultimate safety school (which happens to be her father's alma mater). All 5 schools need names currently. Also, I'm toying with Andromeda Academy as the name of her high school (it's a pretty prestigious prep school), but would it serve better as the name of one of the colleges? Input, input!
And Anything Else
Um...if you have any names to donate, I'd be appreciative. Also, if you were an 18-year-old girl who decided to run away because you didn't want to go to college, and you lived in a universe populated by all sorts of aliens, where would you want to go first?
Other than that, I'm going to start planning and wait for the words to start pouring down on me like the droplets of an all-too-welcome rain...

Date: 2006-10-31 06:12 am (UTC)If I was an 18-year-old girl who decided to run away etc., I think I'd run to someplace that has always held my fascination and that I've heard so much about. There's something special about a location depicted so much in photography, music, and film, and then actually going there.
