DEFCON Clown Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I've got an idea for a character but I can't come up with a name for her. She has Healing, Aid, Drain, Transfer, Absorbtion, Energy Blast, and Running. She is a forensic scientist for the local police. When in hero id she dresses like a typical punk/goth chick. I got the idea from the Abbey character on the TV show NCIS. Does anyone have any suggestions for a superhero name for her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get past Morticia, which is the very first thing that popped into my head. Something gloomy sounding and latin (or greek or another classical language) is probably in order. Panacea would go for the Healing/Aid side of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenAge Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: Need help with a name. No disrespect, but it sounds like a hodge-podge of powers... How about Mosaic? Knowing her powers is good but it's really their cosmetics that will really help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEFCON Clown Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: Need help with a name. Her powers all have the special effect of her controling different aspects of the body. Hence her Healing, Aid, Drain, and Transfer. The absorption is her using the energy of the attack to amplify her own energy (its an 4d6 Absorption vs Physical and Energy that feeds her END). I only added the Running and EB at the insistance of my GM. I wanted her not to have any really offensive powers and to be a support character and to have a lot of useful skills. My GM though she needed an attack power and a movement power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethosos Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: Need help with a name. Segue comes to mind... she's capable of moving one's state from another--from the forensic side, she's seen death and worked to resolve the "state" of mind to pass whomever on with questions answered. On the Heroic side, she's improving one's "state" of body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weldun Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: Need help with a name. Hecate was the Titaness from Greek myth that Zeus learned most of his magic from, and she specialized in magic that controlled or transformed the body. It fits with the character's powers and Greek fetish, and is also a minor icon among some Goths. It would also make things very interesting (in the Chinese sense) if the real deal ever showed up.

Manic Typist Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Need help with a name. I just think it would be better to either have the names more neutral in origin, or more specifically gothish. Otherwise, I would flat out say you should go with "Chakra," as ghost suggested.

Edsel Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Need help with a name. Conduit sounds appropriate for a Punk/Gothic modern type character, that is doing all of this transfer and channeling of powers. EDIT: Oops! Didn't notice you'd already decided on a name.

dbsousa Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Re: Need help with a name. I know you've picked a name, but putting "Abby Sciuto" in the Gothic Name Generator reveals the perfect name: "Elvira the Freak" ...or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
