Gideon Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Please help. I need a name for a new character I am going to be playing in a game tomorrow night. I have everything except her super hero name (and I do mean everything.) The character is a dark and mysterious female mage from Ireland. She was taught how to be a mage when she stumbled into the dream world. The character is very Grant Morrison/ Neil Gaiman esc. Powers she has include such things as: The Wild Saint's Curse of the World Insubstantial (a flash that includes touch group and spacial awareness among the senses it effects). The Forbidden Conjuration of the Serene Openers (an RKA only versus inanimate objects) and The Dreaming Demon's Spears of Ether (an Auto-fire EB) Any suggestions will be appreciated. However, I would like to ask for super-hero style names please, not fantasy game style names (IE: Scarlet Witch not Zatanna) Thanks in advance.

ParagonAlpha Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: Please Help: I need a name for my character Okay this will seems convaluted but I suggest Nemesis. It is similar to the name of a Celtic Goddess named Nemain. Check out the etymology section on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemhain I thought it was interesting.

Sundog Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: Please Help: I need a name for my character Perhaps something like Nightwitch or Dark Witch? Or, with her connection to the dreamscape, Dark Dreamer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graywolf777 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: Please Help: I need a name for my character How about Dream Witch, possibly Witchdream then there's also Aes Sídhe (pronounced ess shee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: Please Help: I need a name for my character http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidhe#The_s.C3.ADdhe:_abodes_of_the_aes_s.C3.ADdhe The Sidhe are the Fey Folk of Celtic Mythos.....here's lots of info. Being a Dresden Files fan I'd say go with Maeb (Queen of the Fairies)....I believe that's the spelling.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: Please Help: I need a name for my character If her powers are connected to the Dream World maybe something from there: Dreamer Dream Keeper Dream Sorceresses Dream Watcher Dream Walker Dream Weaver (This one even comes with a theme song.) Dream Witch (As mentioned by Graywolf77) Nightmare (Not very heroy but...) Night Heiress Phantasm Shade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowsoul Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Re: Please Help: I need a name for my character Goddesses and such which may be useful. Morrigan. Mab. Persephone. Hecate. Sirona. Eir. Kvasir. Other thoughts. Morgan/Morgain. Enchantress. The Fey. Lady of the Subtle Path. Lady of the Sylvan Shadows. Lady of the Hidden Mysteries. (Shortened to 'Lady' or 'The Lady'). Aerial. Moon-Maiden. Alternatively you could come up with a vaguely portentous name like 'The Dark Woman' and just translate it into Gaelic. Don't forget to tell us what name you end up with.
