A little help with some names...

[Edit: Thanks to all those with serious suggestions, but I now have names for both characters: Chris Allys (thanks to Pum), and Mantis Engine which I was able to come up with (I changed his concept to being the invention of the scientist, and not the scientist himself).]


I have two characters (one brand new, and one a transfer from a different server) that are in need of some names, unfortunately, I am drawing a complete blank.

Here's what they look like:

And now for some biographical information:
The one on the left, is a Natural Axe/WP Brute. He was recently released from jail, and has court-ordered therapy sessions. Basically, psychiatrists are convinced that he is delusional and believes a butterfly is commanding him to do various crimes... most recently the attempted murder of a police officer.

In reality, he really does hear the "flutter-by" (as the character calls him) talk to him, and really isn't crazy, except that he lets a butterfly tell him what to do...

He will only be wearing "normal" clothing and isn't really a super-villain in any sense of the word, so a name that is less "flashy" than the standard would do him well.

____________________

The one on the right, is a Technology Ill/Rad Controller. He is a gadegetteer who has created an array of devices, most of which are powered by fusion reactors.

His story is less fleshed out, but he has watched as countless inventions, inventors, scientists and research gets funneled into the evil of the city. He has seen the name of science get dragged through the mud and get blamed for all manner of evils. In fact, he has sold some of his technology to Mueller Industries, a company owned and operated by who he discovers is a super-villain himself! This is the last straw, he decides to use his inventions to fight crime, especially corporations like Crey and Mueller Industries.

Something classically super-heroic would fit him nicely.


Thanks in advance, Justice!

AxeMorph and Illusion Incarnate.

Chris Allys and Optomica

iron butterfly and ion emitter

Butterfly Effect and Free Radical

For the Ill/Rad, I had thought about a name focusing on the star design on his chest... but everything I thought of was a bit cheesy, thanks for the assistance so far, guys.

The first one reminds me of some kind of effeminate (sp?) bull-type guy. So how about "Klee Taurus" for the first one.

The second one is green so I think his name should be "Kermit Muffdiver"

I hope that helps!

Oh so very much... some kinda help that was, if I had wanted to get banned, I wouldn't have needed to ask for any help on that one.

you could always go with a star name like Polaris, Vega, Cor Caroli, Pollux, Regulus (Cor Leonis), Betelgeuse, Rigel. or a constellation perhaps...

Castor seemed a bit too... mundane?

Glad I could help a bit (at least for future characters).

(loved the concept for the brute, btw. *grin*)
