What's the coolest character name you have?

Wow, this is a hard decision. I really like most of my character's names for various reasons... but I don't know that any of them are above good. I have quite high standards for names, and will spend hours with a thesaurus and wikipedia trying to come up with something that fits.

I think one of my top choices is Mender Cocytus. He is an Ice/Ice tank who is (obviously) a Mender of Ouroboros. The Cocytus part is named for the frozen lake (or river depending on how you look at it) in Dante's Inferno in which Satan himself is frozen. I thought it was appropriate.

Coolest? I have no idea - someone else would have to decide that, but my favorites are:

[u]Guardian[u]
Mr. Piddles and Kelly - psi/mind blasting mutant kitty and his reanimated dead owner
Dead Serious. - dead ill/emp controller dressed like a clown (really wish I could get rid of the period though)
Thundershaft - Native American storm/Arch defender
Venus Crimetrap - plant/kin controller
Dr. Time - grav/kin controller

[u]Virtue[u]
Lord Stormbringer - elec/storm corruptor
The Hydrogen Bombshell - sexy rad/rad defender
Titan of Industry - robotic ss/nv tank
Rattletrap - robotic elec/elec brute
Arachnomancer - reserved for when I unlock VEATS.

[u]Names I've had and loved, but released because I couldn't get into the characters[u]
Victorious Secret
Cold Dead Hans

[u]Possibily my favorite name of all, but it got rightly genericked[u]
The Bee-yotch

Oh man, I forgot about my main villain!

Scrapyarder, who has nothing to do with the Scrapyarders, but I got his name when CoV came out and I hadn't realized there was even such a villain group.

Hmmm... A question to tease the most hardened alt-o-holic.

One each, Hero and Villain...

Hero: Strong Box

Villain: Iron Onslaught

My friend has great ones:

Hero: Superstructure

Villain: Trouble-Seeker




MY FAREWELL GIFT

It is never truly gone, as long as there is someone left to remember.

I've still got a hero named Strategist, made way back in the day. I can't much bear to play him any more, though. AR Blaster? Bwah.

Then there's Love Hertz. First thing that popped into my mind when Elec powersets were announced for redside.

My original villain main is SuperCritical, a Corr who wears a nuclear-powered battlesuit. To date, only *one* person has ever recognized the term.

My top three are:

Abstinence (Mind/Psi Dom, worst villain ever created)
Kleptomaniac
Excellence


- Ping (@iltat, @Pinghole)

Don't take it personally if you think I was mean to you. I'm an ******* to everyone.

It's a penguin thing. Pingu FTW.

Suburban Samurai

Katana. Comb over. Comfy sweater.
Never mess with a man with a mortgage.

His war cry? "Get off the lawn!"

I'm also partial to my katana/sr scrapper, BingoHall HeartThrob, the geriatric lady.




Thank you, Champion.

Remembered another one that I thought was a fun little pun/reference:

Nucular Homer

A Simpson's homage (cross between Homer and the Hulk, and is a rad/rad or rad/therm corruptor depending on which server) whose bio reads "It's pronounced Nu-cu-lar" and LFT flag says "Mmm... radioactive donuts."

I've got an Elec/Elec Brute named Domestic Battery Prolly my favorite concept alt.

Counterparts: an android built from the components of two rival bionic heroes who fell during the war. He has an Ice Shield and a Fire Sword. He's got a sweet asymmetrical look too.

My best, I think, are:

Festival, founder and Ring Mistress Prima of the Carnival of Light
The Perilous Poppet, a medieval-era witch's manikin come to hideous life
Cassandra Fortune, a Fortunata
...and I always liked my namesake, Dollhouse (a Tanker, of course), at least until the TV show came out. =(

[/ QUOTE ]

I have the name Festival on Freedom with a similar background (great minds I guess).

And although I get a lot of compliments for Unstoppable for my tank, I still like my namesake USAvenger.

I have to go with Ragin' Rebel my just turned 50 level SD/SS Tank. I mostly play Female characters since I am one but have a few males.. Reb is one of those. His Bio explains he mutated and now had the ability to fly and of course super human strength. I think what I love most about him is the last line of his bio... Its a quote from him during some interview "I fight for freedom and justice. and just maybe if I get famous enough I can meet Carey Underwood cause I think that girl is real purty" OH BTW did I mention Reb is from New Orleans? LOL and obviously into Country Music

A LOT of the names on here are extremely cool. One I saw recently, that was the most unusual I've seen in a while, was Scission.
