What's your Battle Cry?

[Sir Myshkin]

 

I got incredibly inspired to roll a new character the other night and have been full-in on the RP experience with it so far (which is a tad unusual these days for me) and I've been having a blast with it. I realized that I wanted to come up with a battle cry for the character and that those used to sort of be a thing, there's even still that option on the hero cards when we make our characters but I never really see anyone use those hot keys for more than making fun of Romulus during an ITF.

 

Lets have a little fun!

 

So Players,

WHAT IS YOUR BATTLE CRY?

[Snarky]

Don’t go up the F-ing steps until we’re ready you PUG morons.

 

it’s not snappy but i think it communicates a certain something 

[Luminara]

Big mistake.  Big.  HUGE.  I have to go shopping now.

Every once in a while I'll let Builder Bill out of a base and when he gets a chance to nail some baddies he gives a strict warning... 

 

"STOP, OR I'LL BUILD YOU A PORCH!"

My favorite, used on several characters: "This is only used in cut-scenes."

[ZemX]

All of them have the same battle cry: "What could possibly go wrong?"

 

It also serves as my less serious "Ready!" response whenever the lead asks if we're good to go into some death trap or other.

[StrikerFox]

Used for several heroes, "Crap, it's Statesman! Look busy!"

 

I haven't figured out how to set up this next battle cry yet:

 

MM, "I don't get paid enough for this."
Pets, "You get paid?!"

[Go0gleplex]

Major Holocaust: LETS BURN!

 

Stygian Flare: SAVE THE OREOS!

 

Major Chill: DING DONG! Cool guy calling!

Maybe have the MM part as the battle cry, then have a macro for the second part?

[cranebump]

It used to be "To the Fray!" 

 

Had a baseball bat brute (Gibson Ruth), who shouted "Batter Up!"

I was hoping to set both lines up on a second key. But haven't really looked into yet. It's only been a year or two. Haha!

My default is "Not the Face!!!"

I actually like a really well considered one, and have frustratingly taken a few toons all the way to 50 without figuring out a good one.  Three good (and recent) examples and a joke:

 

1) The Pink Bampfer - Stalker with as many combat TP attacks as I could get, "Deh-dant, deh-dant..."

 

2) 8-Bit Oracle - "Do you really want to cross that river?"  (Based on being an oracle; probably only classicists will understand that one)

 

3) Catawampus Turncoat - "Hello new friends!" (based off that surname, you see...)

 

The joke: I saw someone who had what was clearly a "cut-scene only" battle cry of "Blah blah blah..."

I remembered one today from long ago that I used to use on a Scrapper when it went on murderous rampages and left piles of bodies behind it:

"Help! Help! I need an adult!" (/em whistle)
