I am trying to think of a name for a mutant healer, but I'm stuck

basically he is an EX-emt raised on the medical field who was taking a break frmo it.

he was a in car accident and healed the other driver somehow.
he can teleport and shoot small bolts of electricity for some reason.

The character is suppose to be the incarnate of Aescleous, a roman god of healing trained by the centaur Chiron. but he doesn'y know that

that's the point! He's just some unimportant guy with an unimportant name. "just a regular Joe" if you will.


Or you could take medicine and no blasts and be "Izuberhealzor."

Well, Asclepius was famous for his snake-wrapped walking stick. It became a symbol of his medicine and is actually pictured on medical facilities today.

A very similar staff with 2 snakes (and sometimes wings) is used interchangeably with the original. The 2-snake staff has a name: the Caduceus.

In addition, the original staff and Asclepius have been tied to the constellation Ophiuchus, generally depicted as a man holding a snake.

Perhaps one of these names would work.

EDIT: akk! missed seeing the last entry. Oh well...

There is actually some debate as to if those are even snakes at all. The origin of the picture may actually depict the removal of a guinea worm. Where a slit is made where the parasite is located then slowly wound around a stick.

Sorry, that name is in use by a TA def that wanted to get on teams

True story, there was a TA def called something like T3h ub4r h34lz0r, who hated being rejected because he wasn't a healer, so made a name that meant nobody actually asked.
