Well now I'm tempted to make May Flowers, who will obviously be a Plant Controller.

Tony Wilson, my homage and Illusion/Storm Controller on Pinnacle. Factory Records was banned as sg name, so got The Hacienda instead. SG base is a dance club.

Casual Player, my level 27 Warshade on Triumph...will be purpled some day!

Ma Dalton, my level 26 Dual Pistols/Storm Corruptor.

Odessa Red, Homage; Fire Melee/Electric Armor Brute.

Brooke Shields Shield/Super Strength Tanker on three servers.

Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes

Heh, ironically, about a year ago Ana and I had "a Nemesis plot" and "not a Nemesis plot" level-pacted on Freedom. She ended up not liking her character, and I didn't want the reference to myself so I deleted mine as well.

I just made Buffalo Buffalo (on virtue no less!)

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
So he's going to set out to make that better. His only text will be combination's of Buffalo with punctuation.

Such a silly idea!

Good names I got recently: Officer X and Justin Shadow.

I have to say though, [competition] does naming right. I understand people like to be unique snowflakes, but seeing what it's like not having to jump through all kinds of mental hoops just to find a name that's not taken and you like was an eye opening experience. This game really should be doing that. People's epeens would be hurt in the short-run, but in the long run I believe people would come to see just why [competition]'s naming scheme is better.

Actually, I used to be the owner of that one on Virtue, but dumped it to make room long before we had more than one page of characters...

In retrospect, I should have retrieved it long ago, as it is likely no longer available, and I am at work. :P

It is never truly gone, as long as there is someone left to remember.

I like -'s I do. Spider-Man has one and if it's good enough for him, She-Ra and He-Man then it's good enough for me.
Never feel the need to appologize, the hyphen was added into webheads name, so the parent company could copyright it. This is not only acceptable, but some words are not right without the hyphen in them/ or the prefered spelling is with a hyphen. I use them liberally, and have gotten several superb names going that route... Cut-Throat on Virtue is one of my favorites as well as my first 50.

Also snagged Hyper-Beast on virtue last night.

I was surprised when I rolled up a stone/fire tank last year and got the name Stone Burn. I thought for sure something that simple would be taken.

I play on Liberty, which is a medium-population server... but I was still surprised I got Suzume (for my winged FF/Rad defender) and Anu (for my Shield/Mace minotaur tank).
