Also, half demons are silly, come up with a more original concept.
Its a super hero game, half-demons are the least silly and unoriginal concepts to be found...

For a variation of Void Maiden:
"Maiden the Void"
"Void Mistress"
"Aether-bound"
just off the top of my head.
Depends what the other half is. Half human? Meh. Half Coke machine? Now we're talking.

Its too bad we cant make ghostly characters, aside from making a stealth-based archetype.

A demon gets too friendly with a coke machine, nine months later, a new menace is born to Paragon City: Demonic Coke. He steals your soul and give you a sugar-buzz!

We need a powerset that hurls 95MPH flaming cans of soda for Lethal/Fire damage. Maybe borrow those rocket launchers from the Council Bosses?

For a bonus, make it bark out puns every so often. Like, when using Fulcrum Shift. "Feel the wrath of my CAN-etic force!" Or maybe when charging up a Blazing Bolt, "I'm going to COKE you alive!"

I suck at making names. I absolutely hate that stage of character creation. But I can try and give you my own advice on the powersets.

From what I've heard and experienced, Electric Blast and Dark Blast are both very meh. I've seen few people use it really well. But if you don't care about numbers/damage/etc, any powerset can be awesome!
Kinetics is a very useful and popular support set. Pain Domination is rather under-rated, but it can be powerful in the right hands.
I hope that helped.
Electric blast is pretty excellent, I think the only thing I don't like about it is that it has that stupid tesla cage instead of a tier-3 blast, and I don't like the animation for Ball Lightning.
Though, Thunderous Blast has probably the most badass animation in the game, so it more than makes up for it.
I think I will go with elec/kin... I have a character on h-side with kinetics and I like Repulse alot. hehe
I wish the game had a random name generator at the register part. :x

And yes. Repulse is awesome.
I week? I give it a couple days max. lol
Virtue Name Watch is the place to go for names. You can ask for help, or just sift through 10000+ posts of names. Coming up blank on any good ones that I've seen recently that might fit your character.

In other news, whats a good primary set to go along with corruptor with kinetics? I like the lightning animations, but I feel kinda weak... anything else fun?

Fire Blast is always a popular choice to go with Kinetics. I also liked my Radiation Blast/Kinetics Corruptor. You can colour the powers however you want.

But the name you were trying to make, I'd say make the blasts dark purple/blue/black!

I can't seem to access this thread. It's like my browser gives up halfway through loading and just gives me a blank screen. Happens with a couple other stickies here on the Virtue forum, too.

Using the idea of a demon-possessed vending machine, I came up with the character "Rending Machine".
haha good name. Is he really bulky and barrel-like?
Also, I have a costume question:
Last night I came up with a nice name for a electrical-based character and I wanted to use plugs... you know, like the ones on the arms and legs and backs of the people in the Matrix? I thought for sure we had them in this game, but either I am mistaken or I cant find them... Now I dont want them all over the body, just on the arms.
If there isnt such a costume piece, could someone give me an idea that isnt super-bulky but still might look like what I want?
Sometimes when I get a naming block I just google 80's song titles 
Spines/ D A lvl 50 Scrap, stone/wm lvl 50 tank, Kat/reg lvl 50 Scrap
Grav/Kin lvl 50 Cont, Fire/Enegry lvl 50 Blast
Warshade lvl 50, PB lvl 39, nightwidow lvl 50, crab lvl 42
plant/thorns lvl 50 dom, ice/fire lvl 40 dom, grav/nrg lvl 41 dom
Figures... the moment I have a good name I really like, someone has it... >.<
