Share your Puns/amusing Character Names


Venture

Recommended Posts

I mostly do silly bios rather than punny names, but I have a couple.

 

An elec/elec blaster dressed like a dominatrix named Mistress Hertz.

 

A gossipy Arachnos agent who can’t keep her mouth shut named Widow Bird.

The original @Hertz, creator of the Stan and Lou audio series on YouTube. Player of City of Heroes for yonks.1

 

1A yonk is a very long time.

I’ve got a peacebringer named Britney Lohan. Someone once asked why she wasn’t wearing any pants and I said why would Britney Lohan be wearing them. 
 

Also I have a ice sentinel named Frostbeaux, it took a few screenshots to get the look right. Although you can’t quite mimic Flambeaux exactly because her skirt has a pattern that doesn’t exist in the costume creator.

Lemme see...
I don't know if I have the stones to actually present names as genuinely funny or clever. I think so...but I tend to hear groans when I tell jokes. 

Pundit - a corruptor with bad puns collected in some macros. 
Lagniappe - water/time corruptor. 
Galactic Kegger - a warshade, given the name because the warshade fares better in large parties, rather than solo. Men in Black tribute. 
Carol Burnitt - an homage to Carol Burnett, one of the funniest people you'd ever see. 
Rhetorical Riddle - What do get when you cross a riddle with a rhetorical question? If you're lucky, Silence! 
Militia Etheridge - symphony control 
Thong Kong - props to @Peacock who helped me actually make a costume that makes the character look like a gorilla. 
Buff Daddy - water/kin corruptor

Scary Queen of Scots - Fire/Time corruptor
Mouse Potato - Sonic/Ice defender

Mr. Warmth - homage to Don Rickles 
Mirth Quake - grav/earth dom
Optical Aleutian - Ill/ice dom (from Alaska, naturally) 
Loot Brute - SS/Stone (farmer)

Got a few other goofy names - Doozy, Humdinger, Flabbergasted

Thong (the the thong thong thong) Kong?
(My!  What a large appendage you have!)

If you want to be godlike, pick anything.

If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!

I just can't stop.

 

 My cyberpunk SG on Excelsior currently has:

 

Johnny Pneumatic

Johnny Gnomonic

Johnny Chthonic

I had a Thugs/Traps back in the day called Johnny Moronic. With that idiot-smile face and a generally Matrix-y look to the costume (shades, suit and trenchcoat).

Can't believe this name was available, and it works on a couple of levels, Candice Cain

I have created a new pantsless stalker named Undie Tectable.

 

I feel no personal shame about this, but it would not be inappropriate for you to feel shame on my behalf.

Inspired by a different 'name' thread, for gits & shiggles I decided to look up something that randomly came to mind and check availability. If you're into making feline characters, the following is available on all servers...

 

If it Fits I Sits

Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx?

Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread.  Got a punny character? You should share it.

Fantastic pun for a feline character. Absolutely love it.

 

...I imagine a number of players in Pocket D would love it too, for altogether different reasons. ;>.>
