ZorkNemesis Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Simple one word names are usually surprising. I was impressed that "Impurity" was available on Indom. 1 Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.

Waking up and not remembering, loosing 20 minutes of your life as your mind reboots so you redo that act. Starting a medical regime of pills for the rest of your life, not driving for up to 2.5 years taking them to show the situation is under control or you can kill someone with several tons of metal. Chipping a tooth as your head bounces off asphalt. Did you know seizures can be triggered by the strangest things? Flashing lights is a common one, got to advert those eyes just incase. Smart phones or computer screens, easy trigger if you scroll to fast. Heard one person had seizures caused by the voice of a certain singer. I would know, some of those things happened to me. Fake tooth covering like a press on nail, kinda expensive and dentist said 3 years or so, its been 7 so she is astounded its still there. My youngest cousin has it worst, nobody can show a phone screen and scroll too fast as she will zone out. Not offended more dumb founded how Epilepsy is a good name. Got some suggestions for you - Cancer - Diabetes - Alzheimers - PTSD - ADHD - Tourettes - Downs Syndrome - Corona totals Plenty of diseases and physical/mentally disabilities out there for character names. Probably available as well, because no one would want to use it. Well, we already have 'Shock Treatment' in game as a villain, to there's that. Not to mention Epilepsy due to the convulsion was kind of the point as an Elec/ controller. Seems apt for a name. Cancer could be a good name, actually, and not just for the disease, but also the crab aspect of it. Diabetes? Not sure what kind of powers that would have. Alzheimers and Tourettes could be Mind/ Controllers or dominators, for sure. PTSD could have fear-based powers that bring up past trauma, but doesn't snap as a name. ADHD? That's just a /Kin ;p. Downs Syndrome isn't a snappy name, and not sure what powers would have so wouldn't do well. Corona totals? That doesn't make sense as a name, admittedly. Nothing wrong with using disease or afflictions for Hero/Villain names. Shell Shock? That's one. Shock Treatment? Another. The we have Hollow Point?(Notoriously know as 'cop killer' bullets?) Mangle? I'm sure someone that was actually crippled appreciates that... Names are snappy and relatable to explain a power, that's how I see it. As Such Epilepsy, neuro-electro convulsions that make you lose control of motor functions and possible black out? Ideal name for an Electric Control character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crater Kate Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I do a lot of name-based names (ie Crater Kate), which allow you to get great alliteration going, sound very super, and give a lot of flexibility with concept. However, I do have a handful (on Everlasting) that I am super proud to have: Tiger Moth Crowning Glory Snowfire Thunderstreak (The) Consciousness Soul Sister Tanager Checkerboard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lines Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Some awesome grabs on Reunion that I'm happy with: Kitbash Vessel Soldat Moribund Snakeskin Ermine I gave up Combatant in favour of Soldat. It just wasn't working for me. If anyone on Reunion wants that name, it's released to the wild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chequers Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I just picked up 'Tour de Force' - I know it's multiple words... but it's a pretty common phrase I thought! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llewellyn Blackwell Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I just whipped up an energy/elec sent for fun and named him Mr. Energy and it was available. And people say all the good easy names are gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyotedancer Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) It being Shark Week and all... I'm a little surprised Carcharias was available on Everlasting. (I took the Greek spelling, with a K. It seemed more appropriate for an aquamancer. So... somebody else. Go build a shark! 😁) ETA: How can we not have a shark-fin emoji?!?

Clave Dark 5 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Just set up a new scrapper on Excelsior, WOLF AT THE DOOR, with that big riot shield with the viewplate in it, so it sort of looks like... a door? I took broadsword for his attack although I'm not super sold on that yet. Anyway, his catchphrase is "Knock knock!" ETA; oh yeah, he deffo has a wolf's head, I forgot to mention.

sanderson2208 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 most of my names are idiosyncratic and so not germane to the thread. On Reunion I have “One” Excelsior I have some names that seemed like they could have been taken. Specialman the Boston Mass Copycat I also got Mystery Man. But I met the guy who has that as his global so I gave it to him. Now I have Mystery-Man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTeague Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I tried another name on a what-the-hell last night and it actually gave me the green checkmark.

Player2 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Some names I was surprised to get when I started playing on Excelsior, although now my friends play on Torch and I can't move them over because they're already taken: Battle Babe Beat Blixt Blood Mage Bricks Cheater Crafter Crazy Train Dervish Destined One Expert F-Bomb First Flood Glory Hammer Headstrong Hotness Legendary Mighty One Omnipotence Origin Pact Peerless Poledancer Spine Struggle Sunder Superstition Upgrade Violence Windbreaker If you have any of the highlighted ones on Torch and want to move to Excelsior, I'd be happy to trade. The ones that aren't highlighted I ended up making different versions of on Torch or just stopped playing for now but haven't quite given up on, so apologies but they haven't been released back into the pool yet. Could be open for negotiation, however, if I need to sweeten the pot on on of the highlighted names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
