A little help with a name?

Since I heard that both Power Customization and Electric Armor for Scrappers was coming for Issue 16, I have been waiting with baited breath to create a Scrapper that is Spines/Elec with one of the new Spines Customizations and the ability to use non-red Electric Armor. *pant pant*

At any rate, I want a really good name! He will be replacing my lvl 19 Spines/Fire who is stalled out due to a crappy costume and an even crappier name. I just don't care about him as much as I do the characters that I have invested the time it takes to get a rocking name.

My idea for this new Spines/ElecA dude is either a robot character who can fire metal from his body (laced in poisonous coolant ) and is constantly discharging electricity due to a malfunction in his wiring... OR some other concept that might be intriguing.

So, anyone have a good name or interesting character bio, or both?

I just don't think my original idea (Scattershock) is quite good enough.

Thirty Eight (lol)
Electric Porcupine
Malfunction Mine
Mine on the Loose
Live Barbed Wire
Static Spindle
Static Trigger
Ionic Injector

It might also be important to note, that I prefer to use serious sounding names. Names that would sound good when spoken by a news anchor discussing the character's exploits.

Ion Trigger, maybe?

Lol, yes. Especially since I will be using an alternate Spines animation (aka, NO bananas).

In all seriousness, I think Scattershock is a pretty good name. Shattershock?

Well, my SO does not agree with you. However, I very well might stick with that one anyway.

How about Roll Something Anything Other Than Electric Armor Man?

Seriously, you'll want to pair ElA with one of the sword sets. The +Defense in Parry/Divine Avalanche might even make ElA playable.

But if it must be Spines/ElA, scream my name toward the night sky when you hit the debt cap...at level 20 lol.

No, no I will not want to pair it with a sword set. I don't play this game based on the numbers, I play it based on what I think might be entertaining (and Electric is certainly entertaining visually, and with the buff in i16, I think it will be fine, too!).

Holy... umm, holy AWESOME! I love the sound of Stormshard!!! I am going to need to reserve that one (if not already taken that is)!

Thanks!

Would that be pronounced Storms Hard or Storm Shard?

Either way...nice name.
