Holy Name-Release, Batman!!! 😱

[dtjunkie]

Here was my haul for the great rename-a-thon - all on Everlasting.

 

Devourer - This was the name I had on Live for my main villain, a Plant/Thorns Dominator whose backstory is based on a Devouring Earth story line. I had been running her as Devourer? on Homecoming. I am very excited to have her original name back!

 

Pele - This was the name I originally wanted for a Fire/Stone Melee Tank I ended up naming Mama Lava. Mama Lava was 50 so now Pele is mine forever. But Mama Lava is back in the wild 🤣

 

Prince Charming - This was the name I originally wanted for a toon I ended up naming Lord Charming. Prince Charming is sooooo much better.

 

Speedball  - This was very exciting because on Live I had a Speed.ball so I was very excited to get this name. This is my favorite name for Kinetics, but I am going to start fresh rather than renaming Whoosh or Fast Twitch (I've grown to love these second choice names)

 

Brute Force and Brute Squad - Brutes are my favorite AT. I have 12 level 50 Brutes, and I have wanted these particular phrases from day one.

 

Oak - I like Rush (the band) and one my favorite songs is The Trees. Excited to finally have a tank named for the mighty oak tree!

 

Tectonic - On Live I had to settle for Tectonix, and I wasn't even able to get that on Everlasting. But my Earth Controller now has her originally planned Live name!

 

Frost Queen - I had settled on the name Ice Amazon for my Ice Dominator. Very happy with the new name.

 

Brass Monkey - I have an entire stable of Nemesis toons (Steam Witch, Battle Hulk, Big Brass Ox, Nemesis T-Rex, Nemesis Tex, Brass Lass, Sister Nemesis, Brass Rikti Monkey) but I finally got the one I had been after from the beginning. Alas, I was unable to secure Lady Nemesis, so Baroness Nemesis remains.

I have no idea if the name was always available or not, but last night checked to see if Cutscene was available. (On a few servers, but I grabbed it on Everlasting)

 

Thinking Tanker, Stone/Titan Weapons.

Oooo, picked up another two names I had forgotten about. I used to have a list of names I wanted but I tossed it years ago.

Alas, the first of my characters to lose her name. Ulrika.

 

Ulrika is a member of the Midnight Zodiac, they are Midnighters enlisted in the The Zodiac War, a long running head canon that I use for a lot of my characters.  She is a member of the Cabal and takes her name from the wolves that would stalk the winter in her homeland.

 

I never developed her beyond this and she does have one of my favorite costumes. I'll have to come up with a new name for her, I might just give her a second name, like "Ulrika Hagel" and call it done.

I kinda want to meet this Ulrika, perhaps they are a multiversal version of my Ulrika.  Whatever the case, I hope the name brings you joy and many awesome adventures.

I was finally able to get this toon (whose name I had on one of the Live servers) his name without a period or dash in it:

Wonder where the naysayers are that said NO ONE would get any names they wanted when this went live.

 

That was always wishful thinking by people just didn't want the name release to happen.  There was no real reason to believe that all those unused names were somehow all gibberish that nobody would want.

The name release is actually triggering my altitus.  Though in some cases, just getting me to move more chars to Everlasting from Excelsior.

So apparently the name release thing only works for starting a new toon under the name you are creating. Kind of disappointing.

I had long assumed the one name I wanted was already a Level 50. I even checked on the 1st, but apparently the name policy hadn't kicked in. I had forgotten about it until this thread was bumped, and had the same issue with trying to get the name. I officially have it back. I had it on live and it is one of my personal favorites, so no, I'm not giving it up, and yes, it is a Level 50. I had been using it with an added period.

hell yeah

So I got the name Rampart and for the life of me I am stuck on the backstory of Johnny Gage, EMT by day, Defender by night
