Mastermind Pet Naming Question


Aett_Thorn

 

Posted

I have a Demon Summoning Mastermind with a technological bent, that is playing off his Demons as though they are some sort of Solid Hologram. And, ideally, I would like it to appear as though they all have the same name.

Originally, I went with the name Illusion for them all since the I --> L trick can be used in a lot of combinations across all 6 of the pets. However, I don't think that conveys that the pets are actually there... not just pretend. So, I named some of them Solid Hologram and others I suppose, could just be Hologram, but that doesn't make me as happy.

Any ideas for a naming convention that can accomplish this?

Maybe some technical names? Like Hologram DEM-001, DEM-002, DEM-003, DEM-101, DEM-102, DEM-200. Or something more clever than that for the names.

Apostrophe guidelines.

I'm not seeing why you couldn't use your Solid Hologram naming convention. Just replace the O with 0 instead of the I and L.

SOLID HOLOGRAM
S0LID HOLOGRAM
SOLID H0LOGRAM
SOLID HOL0GRAM
SOLID H0L0GRAM
S0LID H0LOGRAM
S0LID HOL0GRAM
S0LID H0L0GRAM

Something like that was my first thought, but it seems... unsatisfying in some way. *Sigh* Failing other options, I will likely go with something like that.

Now I just sound really picky... but the O --> 0 thing isn't close enough for my taste. Lowercase L and an uppercase i are identical. Not to mention that I don't like caps.

So still, why can't "Solid Hologram" work? You can have one with both Ls as Ls, and one each where an L is actually an I.

Edit -> Ah, that'll only get you four. I see.

Okay, so why aren't the lowest-tier pets Solid Holograms, the mid-tier pets something like Advanced Holograms (one with an L and one with an I), and the Demon Prince can be a "Perfected Hologram."

I need 6 variations. Not 4.

I think Advanced might be too long... but the idea has merit. I will hold out for one in which they are all the same, because that is my preference, but that could work just fine.

Pet names are limited to 15 letters? Didn't realize that, I thought they used the same limit as characters (20).

That only has two lower-case "L"/upper case "i" characters. Three are needed to provide names for 6 pets. (It actually covers up to 8)

EDIT: I guess he realized that, because.... POOF! gone!

So, basically, you need a name with 3 lower case Ls, which would give you 8 combos.

So, chose from:

Light Words
Illustrious
Illustriously*
Illustrated
Brilliant
Brilliantly*
Brilliance
Scintillant
Scintallantly*
Scintallating

Demon Words
Evil
Evilly
Hellion
Hellacious
Devils
Diablo
Diabolical
Diabolically*
Violent
Violently


Solidly There Words
Really
Solidly
Actual
Actually
Bodily
Firmly
Palpable
Tangible



*Triple L words mean you can add any other non-L word.

The vast majority of those are too long when used in combination... and well... none of them really work to give a hint that the items are actually Holograms... and not demons. Which also throws all of your demon suggestions right out. Holograms aren't evil in my mind, unless programmed that way, and these are for defense.

Also, what I need is a combination of 3 capital I's or lowercase L's. Either will work for this.

Maybe a mix of Living Hologram, Solid Hologram, and Hologram?

Boss pet could be "Living"

LT pets could both be "Solid"

2 minions could be "Hologram", with another being Solid.


Another idea is you could tack some term on to the end of Holo~. To many people Holo alone is enough for them to understand that it's a hologram of some sort.

Holobeast, Holosentinal, Holobrute, Holofiend.. etc etc.


The minions could be "Holorascal"
2x Lts could be "Holofiend"
Boss could be "Holobeast"

Capitalizing the second word makes it stand out more (Holorascal vs HoloRascal), but that might not be your cup of tea.

Just some brain storms, hope it helps a bit.

I think this is, basically, what I will end up with.

3 Solid Holograms
2 Living Holograms
1 Perfect Hologram (or something like that)

Thanks for all the input, folks!
