Enormotron Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 On Indomitable I have: Dodger Slipstream Nuke Buzzer Bogey Turbo Buzzkill Match Thunderbird On Torchbearer I have: Nuke Match Bubbles Slipstream Buzzkill Null Scratchy Buzzer. On Excelsior: Nuke Buzzer. I've moved to Reunion and no longer play these characters so if anyone wants one of these let me know. 2
DoctorDitko Posted July 17, 2020 Author Posted July 17, 2020 Nice ones! I especially like Buzzkill and Thunderbird, good catches! On Torch I have (named after a friend and frequent duo-er who can always seem to avoid my AOE heals and buffs): Buff Dodger (Of course, he has a retro spacesuit costume.) 1 Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor.

Lines Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 A few I was really happy about: Hawkmoth Ego Grasshopper Kadabra Quetzalcoatl Thunderbird (High Five, Enormotron, I'm your Reunion counterpart!) Soothsayer Python Warsuit Sonar Acid Bluebottle Man o' War 1

Most of the time I get something acceptable with a little thesaurus work that surprises me when it isn't taken. I tried a Fire/energy Blaster the other day and got the name "Cobalt Blaze". That ones available on Torchbearer if anyone wants it since I scrapped that character because I still don't like the fire sfx. It gets easier to get names like that if you use a foreign language -- for example, 'Yaderniy Ogon' (Nuclear Fire, a Fire/Rad Controller). 1 1
Myrmidon Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 I picked up Heavenfall on Excelsior today. That one being free almost makes me wonder if they have started the name dump script. Playing CoX is it’s own reward
Six-Six Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 @Cutter I have Roflstomper on Reunion @Enormotron, I used to have Buzzkill on Reunion. Went to re-roll on a diff AT lost it in the split sec of name change =( @Hexquisite, Hex Pistols 😃 20 minutes ago, srmalloy said: It gets easier to get names like that if you use a foreign language -- for example, 'Yaderniy Ogon' (Nuclear Fire, a Fire/Rad Controller). Yes, google translate is your friend, even though it probably murders the language in the process. Luckily, Reunion is comprised of friends with usually a second or third (or fifth) language in their belts, and they usually help me make things right. I have my Russian Peacebringer, Silamir which translates to Famed for strength in Slavic. Of my 50 alts, a few names that I really like, but not what I'd consider popular enough to be counted as a good catch are: Dread Baron Satin Silver Bolt Flame Brain Cryo Jenny 1 My Toons

Only 2 of them are 50's, the other 34+ are at a wide mix, some in 40's, 30's, 20's, and a few sitting at lvl 1. 2 Roster: MTeague's characters: The Good, The Bad, and The Gold
Yomo Kimyata Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Not my best names, but some of the ones I'm surprised weren't already taken: Excelsior: Chronomancy Staff Sergeant Sonic Screwdriver Plate Tectonics Double Helix Nervous Breakdown Ice Axe Torchbearer: Sonic Screwdriver Chernobyl Kid Staff Sergeant Major Golden Ticket Verb Jerry Rigg Everlasting: Power Broker Corporate Fat Cat Compound Interest Boy Genius Golden Ticket Indominable: Ditch Digger Doctor Moist Defense Complex Fluid Situation 3 1 Who run Bartertown?

Gobbledigook Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 I saw a name the other day that I wish I had come up with..... Maximum Cleavage. A buxom lass with a big axe 😛 . Made me laugh. 3

Pengy Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 Just nabbed Alexander Hamidon on Torchbearer (DP/Bio Armor Sentinel). 5 3
Dafydd Hywel Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 One guy back in the day used the same character name (basically) on his every alt and archetype. They were all essentially the same 'character'but wearing different suits of power armour that gave different abilities. Basically like Tony Stark and all his various versions of the Iron Man Armour. ALL he changed each tme was the end of the name from say "MK I', to 'MK II' and so on. Quite clever in some ways. 3 1
Anghellic Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 I've gotten a couple im proud of. Juxtapose Phoenix Diablo I wasn't able to nab my old main "Anghellic" though which was a bummer. Hopefully whoever has it is actually using it lol 1
Baccarac316 Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 I got my original name Baccarac shows theres only one me lol

I'm not going for complicated derivations, just basic one- or two-word combinations that describe the character -- Stal'naya Deva, Obmorozheniye, Toksichniy Podlesok, Razrastaniye, Tenevoy Ogon, Deva Molniya, Luchnik, and others. 1

Llewellyn Blackwell Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 When I started last year I was a few months behind, and while the lore names I certainly fretted over it was Skylord that I was glad and surprised to find open still on Everlasting. For clarification his actual name is Skylord, he is not a Sky Lord or some such.
gameboy1234 Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 About two days ago I tried "Circe" on Everlasting and was surprised as heck that I got it. 1
ZorkNemesis Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Normally i'm not lucky enough to get some of the more common names, but there have been a few times i've been surprised by a name. Among a couple of the names I have, I was able to snag "Blade Kitten," "Kinetic Medic," and "Stygian Stranger." Usually I have to think too far outside the box to be surprised by a name though. Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.
