Silly names you would never use


MHertz

Recommended Posts

Back on live in the Babes of War, I lost a bet over something stupid and was required to make a Kheldin (which I didn't care for) and do so with the ugliest costume I could design with the dumbest name I could think of.

 

Hence 

 

Squid Markz LOL

 

and the costume was wretched, made Clamor look like a beauty queen.  A lot of green and that silly tin crown.

Girls of Nukem High - Excelsior - Tempus Fabulous, Flattery, Jennifer Chilly, Betty Beatdown, Totally Cali, Two Gun Trixie

Babes of War - Excelsior - Di Di Guns, Runeslinger, Munitions Mistress, Tideway, Hard Melody, Blue Aria

 

Several alts and of course my original from live on Freedom, OG High Beam (someone else has her non OG name)

Oopsie Man, the accidental hero.

Let me guess:  his real first name is Tripp, and his last name is something like Overstone, Overhill, Overturf, Overshot, Overmass, Overall, or even Overcat (all of which I've confirmed are real surnames

Overself?

Though I could not verify it is an actual Sirname

While I did have a bovine hero named Moosic, I put him out to pasture because I couldn't get into Symphony Control at the time.

Cowpernicus on the other hand, I just can't figure out what a good powerset combo would be.

 

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.

I always have a long list of possible names that are silly that I want to use, just not enough time to do do.  Then again, half the time they never get played, so the allure of a good name tends to fade quickly.

 

Example: My fish-headed Staff/Ice Armor Frozen Fish Stick is too good to not make, but I think she never made it past 24 or something.  But still too good to delete.

I was considering a sleep-based hero for the sake of fun, how's yours play?

I prefer characters with plausible heroic (and rarely,  villainous) names. But I also love a good pun.and sometimes a funny bio...therefore the following.

 

 

Created-but-never-played:

 

Lawn of the Dead:  Necro/Nature Affinity MM

 

Torrance of Fire:  Fire/Fire Blaster

 

Partially leveled:

 

Pyroclastic Flo:  some variation of Fire and Dark Dom, costume is a recognizable insurance industry advertising macot.

 

The Unmitigated Gaul:  BS/Shield Scrap.  (Created during extensive discussions of resistance,  defense, and other forms of mitigating damage.)

 

Sol Brother:  En/En Scrap.  Blaxploitation hero with the power of the sun.

 

Level 50:

 

Anti-Personnel Mime:  Sonic (of course)/Trip Mine Blaster

 

There are more, but I am on mobile and can't look them up right now.

Cool.  I had an invuln/staff tank who wore a tuxedo, top hat and monocle and was named Stick Chap.
