My top choices are..
Demon Caller
DemonCaller
Oryo Ryouko (japanese mashup, roughly translates into Honorable Demon Caller-ironic, since she's a fire scrapper, not a demon summoner).
Or...Oryo Rio (mashup, this time using a civilian nickname)
[/ QUOTE ]
I'd suggest one of the last two (of those four).

Basically, wanting a name that is less clunky, and worried that someday, some GM is going to Google it as Demon Caller Royo (which can actually be Googled) and come to the conclusion that AHAH! it is a copyright infringement! After all, getting generic'd is a fate worse than death in this game.
So, change it? "Tempt the whatever from high atop the thing", and keep it? Or go with a suggestion from you kind people? Y'all got til Tuesday to help me, btw...

If there's a reasonable risk of the generic-stick, then I'd change it. Less hassle that way.
If you think if there is a chance over 50% that it'll get generic'd, Run safe.
I like Oryo Rio the best. But over all it's your choice of the matter.
((What they said. Oryo Rio. Sounds nice when you say it out loud. ))
Yeah, I do like it...Was thinking Oryo Ryo as well...but since Rio is the phonetic pronunciation of Ryo, Oryo Rio also makes sense.

I'll agree with most of the others here and recommend one of the last two.

Is a demon caller a telemarketer?
as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
Not in this case...(snicker)
And BBQ, she's not two chocolate cookies with cream filling in the middle...but still cute.

Go with this.
I was originally gonna fluff this post out with stuff about the Japanese language, but admittedly, my knowledge of the language is at a bare minimum, since I am clearly wapanese; thus, the omission.
Ok, anyone else got ideas? Or anyone got an opinion?
(grin)
Edit: So far Oryo Rio/Ryo seems to be in the lead, wth 2 votes. to Oryo Ryouko's 1. Now would be a good time to put in your 2 cents worth

Ever since I rolled up Demon Caller Oryo, I've been trying to figure out a new name for her..(didn't think to google before I snagged the name..) Originally, she was going to be just Oryo, (Japanese for Honorable Demon), but that name was taken, as it turns out. Yeah, in a way, she is a tribute character/retread from Star Wars Galaxies, but now, since she is getting fleshed out a bit, I'd like to change it..I've already changed her costume a good bit, but now it's time to fix the name before the GMs fix it for me...
And I'd like your opinion/input into her name, guys. Or if you have a better idea, please post it? Keep in mind she is a fire scrapper with something of a temper.

DC is right out, for obvious reasons, although that is her nickname in game currently.
