John Candlewick

 

About a week ago, I watched Beauty and the Beast (cartoon) with my daughter and had an idea to base a character on Lumiere. Later that night I watched John Wick. I almost threw my neck out when I thought of the name, John Candlewick. Thinking that the name was taken for sure, I logged in, typed the name in, and dorkishly laughed my ass off that it wasn't taken. I decided that his story had to be a mash-up of both John Wick and BatB, written from the end to the beginning. I use those weird keyboard symbols to show different people taking. I made him a DP/Nin Blaster.

Names are where it starts; it's something I have to stare at and be called by for months, so it should be fun or fitting!

 

I'm probably 50/50 between:

  • I come up with a clever or punny name, sometimes on a dare from regular friends of mine, and pick powers to fit. Cute Little Stinker and Harpy Holidays and Gamma Chameleon fit this.
  • I want to combine a set of powers and go scouring Google, Wiki, etc. to find a monster, legend, god(dess), etc. to fit. I've learned alot of cryptozoology, mythology, and bits of foreign languages this way.

The species, costume, and backstory (every alt has one) follow after that.

 

I only have a couple of "homage" alts, preferring to come-up with something totally my own. Even developed a couple lore-compatible races/species as a way to handle those instances where I'm having trouble with a name or backstory development.

Just made a toon based on an NPC I put in an MA arc back on live, Rabbitual Criminal.  He's redside, yes.

Reminds me of the joke about the Jewish stage magician whose best trick was going up and down the aisles pulling rabbis out of his yarmulke...
