Name Help

[Trained Chicken]

I'm thinking of a character with the ability to see, and manipulate matter and energy on a macro scale in ways that quantum mechanics dictate matter and energy are manipulated on a quantum scale.

 

So far this power set includes Duplication SFX with Teleportation, Force Wall, Stretching and other tricks based on having more than one body;

Transforms of the category 'Item and thin air into Item and exact copy of itself, dependent upon the character's ability to otherwise construct the item';

A Naked Advantage to buy off the "beam" limitation on any RKA or EB up to X Active Points, Useable as an Attack, Ranged, IPE;

Missile Deflection (side effect- colateral damage, -0), not sure whether to make it Ranged or not;

A Multipower with two UBO powers in it: Summon Exact Duplicate of Self, Antagonistic, No Consious Control (no choice which power activates, -1) and Duplication, No Consious Control (no choice which power activates,-1).

 

I'm thinking that in addition he ought to have access to Shrinker tricks/Dimensional Travel to the Microverse, but we'll see how large the first ideas get.

 

At issue, though, is that "Quantum" is already a well-known character in at least two universes. What do you think I should name him?

I'd suggest h-Bar, but only real geeks would understand the reference.

I suggest either "Singularity" or "Correspondence"

Strange Attractor

 

Quark

 

Schrodinger's Hero

 

The Rubber Scientist

Re: Name Help

 

Since "Quantum" is taken, perhaps, "Supercollider"?

 

Or more subtly, "The Mechanic".

Re: Name Help

 

Tandem

 

Or go the opposite way - Singularity

Ditto Lad!

 

I love all your choices, they all tickle me. Thank you!

 

I might go for h-Bar, if I can figure out a way to put a hyperlink on a piece of normal paper.

I seem to recall several villains in Marvel's silver age who used a device that was like a focus- but when it was taken away or broken, they could still use their powers.

 

I wonder if I should give him a +3d6 HA, OAF Big Wrench (-1)?

Noooo.......it will be designed like the famous illusion "The Impossible Tuning Fork" only it'll be "The Impossible Monkey Wrench."

Sounds like Luck, activated at will.

Sounds like a metagaming reference

Re: Name Help

 

I'm not going to write him up-

 

Any gaming consruction would ruin the idea of him, since Champs characters are written up using real numbers and their abilities are predictable in a Newtonian sense.

 

Or maybe I'm just not clever enough to do him right.

 

You're all welcome to run with it, since you've certainly helped in his devising!

Re: Name Help

 

Thanks for the rep, but if I were that clever, I'd have drawn a picture of the Impossible Monkey Wrench instead of trying to describe it!

 

As it happens, I'm in need of several names for a character I'm planning. Should I just hijack this thread or start a new one?
