We're just spitting out names and ideas here like crazy! I'm going to declare this thread a success! Let's keep going, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyRed Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Reading this thread inspired me to go back and work on my hero name generator some more. I mined some of the words people shared here as well as a few other places to add dozens of new entries to the generator. To be honest, it makes a lot of silly stuff but there's enough good suggestions peppered in that maybe it'll spark your imagination. 😎 Hope this is helpful for people looking to name their character!

Marine X Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I usually start from the concept end then find a name, so it can get painful some times. An example: Crimson Cage - Krym'sun the last Kheldian Born to the race, and injured in their escape, is unable to Join with a Human & is now instead contained in the K.A.G.E. Kheldian Advanced Genetic Enclosure, an interctive, AI inhabited Armor to allow Krym'sun to survive. But without a Host he often struggles to interact with humanity. I like linking their Name to their Hero Name: Hawkstar - Captain Hocking Stahr, fire/inv Sentinal Livingston - John Livingston Jr, stone/fire Tank Stygian Swordsman - Clay Moore, broadsword/dark Tank ( thinking of just renaming him Clay Moore, I think most people would get it.

Dark is a commonly used word in comic books, synonyms that could be used in place of 'Dark': Midnight Umbral Dusk Murky Gloom Tenebrous Tenebrious Shadow Stygian Veiled Sable Ebony Grim Bleak You can open up options by considering what the name is describing; is it appearance, a description of their powers,, or a frame of mind or any number of other reasons. For instance, back on Legacy I had a Ice/Dark character and 'Black Ice' was pretty obvious (and taken) so I selected 'Sable Drift' instead and found it preferable. That's funny I did the same with my ice/dark corruptor and wanting the name Black Ice (though mine was on Defiant), except I ended up with Twilight Frost.

Isenraven Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I've been having difficulty coming up with a name for a concept I have - DP/Device blaster. I want something to reflect his back story about being a stuntman / extreme sports enthusiast. Obviously cannot use Daredevil, which is exactly what he is. Mr. Adrenaline sounded a little meh to me. It's been eluding me for awhile. Anyone help out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roleki Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Whenever I can, I try to name every character as if I expect to meet Tick and Arthur on a rooftop somewhere. Sometimes, I draw a blank and just lean into words associated with the powersets or a specific power in one of the sets. Also a big fan of naming dudes like they are child sidekicks from comics of the 30s-50s. At the end of the day, I just want a name/character that amuses ME, whether it makes sense to anyone else is way down there on the list. He doesn't HAVE an ass. That's one of the things we're transplanting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoulVileTerror Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Stunt performer, eh? So, someone who defies death? Maybe work the word "Defiance" in to the name somehow? Maybe get a friend to make his twin brother, and you can go around as: Double Defiance and DoubIe Defiance (that's a capital i between the b and e on that second one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yomo Kimyata Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Also, puns are your friend. Let's say I wanted to make a tribute character to Rutger Hauer on Torchbearer and name him Blind Fury. Unsurprisingly that name is already taken. But let's take it another step. How about a cosplay expert named Blind Furry? Got it. How about a ditz who keeps misplacing her sword named Blonde Fury? Got it. And don't get me started on Blonde Furry. 1 Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
