what are the characters for "Deathquest" (it is a name)

also, if you put the symbol " の " after a name, does that make the name end in an " 's "

And yeah, I guess you could say that の adds a "'s".

well, if you wrote that exact same thing in hiragana, it would look like this.

ですくえすと

BUT, it would be improper writing. If you wanted it to be in proper writing, but not like much of a title or name, it would be like this:

しのたんきゅう

So, if you want it to really be like a proper written name, you should stick with the original one I posted.

Yes, but not as you please. There are rules for use of katakana (chiefly for foreign names but also for certain situations) and for hiragana (used usually in combination with kanji in standard Japanese writing).
