Help me name a Character

I need help.

I could go on a rant about how I feel they should do a name purge of all account who haven't been active for years, but I'll skip that.

I have a concept for a character who is a Deathstroke / Taskmaster type character. But I can't find a name to use for him. I want to spend my time playing the game, not hours pressing the "Check Name" button.



The name can not be tied to a power set (such as "gun guy"), as the concept is a "contractor" who is proficient in the use of many weapons, allowing me to play this character as a Shield Tank, Dual Blades Scraper, Claws Stalker or Gun Corrupter. This character is a villain!

I am interested in single word names, or combinations that make sense. I do not want "obscure" words, I want people to understand the character immediate when seeing his moniker.

Are you sitting on a good name that you aren't really using? I have many good names to trade.

I thank you all for your help. (Please Please Please before suggesting any names, check to see if it is available! I hate to get my hopes up)



Also, this character will have a "crew". A team of mercenaries who kidnap, steal or kill for a hefty price. If you are interest in rolling a new villain and joining me, I would LOVE the company. Too many goodie-two-shoes on this server, it is time to rock the boat!

See this thread, where I specifically suggested just that. The more people that respond positively, perhaps Paragon Studios will notice.

The Ferryman, or Charon (ferried the dead across the River Styx for a fee in Greek mythology)
Hades(self explanatory, probably taken though)
Osiris(Egyptian god of death, probably taken)
Xerxes(king of Persia, invaded Greece while employing Greek mercenaries)


Champion-
Flaming Intern/Tanker(main)
The Ice Albatross/Blaster
Apollonius/Controller
Valtrix/Defender
All the tank sets in the Intern variety

There's something about the shape of the face that made me think of Munch's "The scream".

Screaming spectre or similar is possible, not checked it. Cool costume though.


It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba

Hangin' Judge or Hanging Judge would be my suggestions, if you're looking for a judge theme. Mistrial or some variation on it would also work nicely, as would Life Sentence.

Guilty.

The name is taken (by me), let me know if you want it, Dinah




Thank you, Champion.

I'd go with an 'Arbiter' name, but I think that's too Wackynos.

However, he kinda looks a little bit, thematically anyway, like my character Grimtek who I rerolled as Dreadtek. If you want to use Grimtek then feel free (or if you're not on Virtue then Dreadtek is likely available elsewhere). Also Ebonstryke is likely available on non-Virtue servers.

Edit: Since this is on the Champion forum (I saw this through a feed for Player Help/Questions) I'm guessing you aren't on the Virtue server with this toon. Heh.

Obscurity is relative. I suggest "Magister Factotum".

I was going to say that "Magister Militum" is better for one skilled in fighting (and sounds better), but it's already being used.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Wow, I really like the look you achieved there. I can see why you'd want the perfect name to go with him.

I'm actually leaning towards your pick of
The Magistrate

Or

Mr. Magistrate
Executioner
Directive
Judge (1st name of choice here)
Silent Judgement
Law Maker


Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard
Keep Calm & Chive On!

Ok I've not had an opportunity to check but here are some synonyms for "Contract":

Deal, Commission, Arrangement, Covenant, Bond, Negotiate, Undertake, tighten, shorten, wither
