Share your Puns/amusing Character Names


Venture

Recommended Posts

I've made a few new characters that may be worthy of this list. 

Lola Palooza  
Layla Palooza

Lila Palooza

All three are a bit of a play on Lollapalooza, the odd name of a music fest, in addition to: 

lol·la·pa·loo·za
/ˌläləpəˈlo͞ozə/
 
noun
INFORMALNORTH AMERICAN
 
  1. a person or thing that is particularly impressive or attractive.
    "it's a lollapalooza, just like your other books"

A significant portion of my character roster are at least partial pun names.

Beau Vine - Minotaur Plant/Thorn Dominator
Crue Satyr - Sword-and-Board Brute
Dee Nile - Egyptian Grav/Energy Dominator
Gal Van Nuys - Shield/Electric Tanker, was named Tess LaCoille but someone else on Everlasting had already used the same pun spelled a bit differently
Hack and Splash - Water/Ninja Blaster
Holy Shoot - Angelic Pistol/Ninjitsu Sentinel with her celestial weapons Thoughts and Prayers
Iron Ma'am - Energy/Invuln Sentinel, rule 63 Tony Stark with the serial numbers filed off

Major Hassle - Arachnos Soldier
Mike N. Troller - Illusion/Rad Controller

Miss Place - tri-form Warshade
Miss Tell - human-form Peacebringer, often hears people say non-sequitur things but then they apologize and call her by name
Officer Reid - Thugs/Elec MM, name is Miranda Reid, sort of a pun on reading someone their Miranda rights

Punky Bruiser - Street Justice/Will Brute, Blatant ripoff parody of Punky Brewster
Rae Dee O'Active - Rad/Rad Tanker

Rhea Dacted - Pistol/Martial Blaster, all other information classified
Ri Poph - Earth/Earth Dominator, Blatant ripoff parody of Toph Bei Fong from Avatar
Static Klingon - Axe/Electric Brute, using the Rikti axe since it's the closest thing we have to a bat'leth
Two Hit Tudor - Thermal/Fire Defender, a play on One Hit Wonder combined with Victor Borge's bit about inflation
Valhalla Back Girl - Mace/Shield Brute, modern-day Valkyrie, costumes based on Gwen Stefani's outfits in the Holla Back Girl video,

... as just mentioned elsewhere, Rock Yew. Earth/TA 'troller. Yes, I was surprised. Now if only we had stone armor Sentinels.

And I had a brief mental image of a minimum-height Staff/WP scrapper -- "Wee Will, Wee Will, Rock Yew!"

Could certainly use the "lowercase L and capital I look identical in this font" trick to have two characters (apparently) named Wee Will.

A couple relatively recent guys…

 

Violent Beauregard - db/sr stalker, a deconverted doomsday cultist

Ice Cream Coney - claws/cold corruptor, bitten by a radioactive arctic hare

SPQRK - staff/wp scrapper, with tridenty weapon and Roman armor

Rococo Coconut Crab - flamboyant crab spider, not a pun, but fun to say his name

I'm sorry but, huh? Claws is not available on corruptors (a ranged AT) here on HC.

More than a few here. My favorite, now retired, was TooGhoulForSchool, a Savage/Radiation Brute. Back story was a 50s nerd who bought the Charles Atlas method to beef up. Tried to kiss his high school crush, and was pushed into a radioactive waste pond. He came back to life for his girl, and to know if he aced his science test.

Jersey Girl - a bovine tanker that was the creation of the Mad Cow King; her entire 'family' is bad bovine puns.

Latency - a villainous bots/dark (repurposed to 'gravity') mastermind.  Basically she's the most frightening thing to an online gamer...

He is an ancient being of PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!!...

Somehow snagged the name Knight Music, a Sonic/Dark troller (or is that a Dark/Sonic?  I dunno).  Never played anything Sonic before.  Something of a basic tights look with a fancy helm with the Black Knight visor options, and a big black musical note 🎵 on his chest.  Haven't done a thing with him yet, may want to reroll him into say a Defender.

 

Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game...
