I stumbled upon a neat name/concept and played him for a bit in Praetoria
Waxwork: (traps/water defender) a ghost who manipulates wax-like psychokineticly active ectoplasm for a variety of effects, from brute force, to refined constructs.
I saved "Shampoo Commercial" just for the set. Might go back and forth for a while on what her secondary should be.
you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you <3

I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

Not such an obvious name for a water based toon Drought cause I like to be different

It is never truly gone, as long as there is someone left to remember.
Didnt read the entire thread before this came to me so im not sure if someone said it already...feel free to bombard me with an hero comments if it did.
Watter or GigaWatter for an water/elec or water/energy blaster
My toon's name is Mizuko Senju on Liberty
My WB/Kin is named Streamlined. Sadly "Jetstream" was taken, as was "Tidal Grave"
So far i've only remade my amphibious fishgirl Merkin Verde as a water blast user.

I haven't made one yet, but batted these ideas around in my head the other day:
Corryvreckan (was one I grabbed to hold until I level one)
Aqueduct
Estuary (wish I could figure out a way to pair with earth)
Percolator (paired with fire and colored to look like coffee....)
couldn't figure out a good one using the word 'Quaff'
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

My Water/Cold corr is named 'Fountain of Truth'.* Got a snicker from my 12yo at least.
*going to feel funny if I decide to go for the Leviathan pool with a name like that
Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level
Just reserved Well O'Fury on Protector.
I just reserved Liquid Light on Defiant. Planning on Water/something, with Water colored pure white. Looks pretty in the costume creator.

"Requiem for a Stream" :P

Only she's on Justice.
Thing is, I was thinking Time would be a great one to pair up with Water on a defender or corruptor, but just haven't found the right concept yet.
The day I heard about water I saved Water Bug and Splish Splash on Protector. Thanks to this thread inspiring me...I made Water Colors, every attack a different color of course.

I made 'Sewer Master' on Virtue, a WB/Poison Corrupt or. Lots of yellows and browns in the powers. :-)
Costume is basically an environment suit with the new bubble helmet, and the face is an older man with the comb over hair.
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Because of you two, now I have "Whiskey-Sour", water/poision, using the female gunslinger costume.

Again, I'm not saying water-based Water Blast character names are bad, I just wonder why they're so popular that I see them across a multitude of fan sites and forums. |
If they put a potato powerset in game, you would likely see the same name rush: Potato, PO-TAY-TOH, Po-Tah-TOH, Spud, Spuds McKenzie, Spud Gunner, Potato Masher, Mr. Potato Head, Spuds and Suds (for potato/water blast), etc.

Which colors do you use for silver? I seem to have a tough time with that one, and just pick a couple different light gray shades.

While I haven't started leveling him up yet, I created The Cephalopod, with inky black water jet attacks and tentacle-like dark tendrils.
And while I decided to release the name back into the wild, I had also reserved Danger Buoy.

I went with Mary Morgan for my Storm/Water defender. According to Wikipedia, a Marie Morgane is a water fairy from Brittany (mor = sea and ganed = born), "Mary Morgan" being one of its variations. I like how it sounds like a simple "first name + name" combination, with an obscure French reference which relates it to the sea
