Optimal D Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 So, if you were... A shapeshifting insectoid alien trained as a spy... Who also has considerable talent with advanced technology... Who has come to Earth to escape the wrath of people sufficiently tired of being spied upon by shapeshifting alien bugs to blow up your homeworld... And you've ended up working for the Warlord as the newest member of the War Machine... What would your code name be? Any ideas? I've got this villain written up but I can't just call him 'Warsomethingorother'..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storn Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Re: What's my name? c'mon, a spy? a surveillance operative? an insect? someone who eavesdrops? Can only be Bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAgamemaster Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Re: What's my name? Well I only have two... Perhaps War Torn or War Bringer (I think I like this more since I would guess that his abilities will be used to incite lesser nations to war.)

Mortannis Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Re: What's my name? Its rare to see anyone pick up a basic name anymore. Just try a simple name. superman. 2 words in one. Not all super people have odd names. lex luther was a powerful human and didnt have a name like "uncle moneybags". best advice. keep it simple.

Lord Liaden Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Re: What's my name? Personally, I like Storn's idea of "Bug" - very suitable. If that's a little too bland for you, though, you might consider "Chrysalis," which covers the insect and shape-shifting elements, and perhaps the hatching of plots. Looking through a list of war-compound words in my dictionary, I came across "Warcraft." "Craft" can refer to both manual skill and skill at deception, which does for his technical and espionage expertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust Raven Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Re: What's my name? Doesn't everyone in War Machine has a Warsomethingorother type name? Perhaps Warbug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Re: What's my name? Doesn't everyone in War Machine has a Warsomethingorother type name? Perhaps Warbug. Well, yes, if thay ARE members of the War Machine. But, of course, you could be working for The Warlord without being a member of the War Machine (yes, it IS posable). As for war names... I like Warcraft... Warcrime (I realy don't want to sergest it, but to be complete...) Warchild Warscout Warnight (I'm streching things here...) Might as well quit before I get to Warsteriaca.

Optimal D Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Re: What's my name? Some good ideas here... I like 'Warcraft' the best so far, though I might go with 'The Bug'. (I suspect the other members of the War Machine will end up using the latter regardless of his actual code name....) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayoman Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Re: What's my name? What color is the alien? It is important since Warlord call his technology Blue Boy technology. So, if you were... A shapeshifting insectoid alien trained as a spy... Who also has considerable talent with advanced technology... Who has come to Earth to escape the wrath of people sufficiently tired of being spied upon by shapeshifting alien bugs to blow up your homeworld...

rayoman Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Re: What's my name? I am playing The Bug in a current campaign. very different than yours, though. Some good ideas here... I like 'Warcraft' the best so far, though I might go with 'The Bug'. (I suspect the other members of the War Machine will end up using the latter regardless of his actual code name....) Thanks!
