Lord Liaden Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Re: Fallen Avenger I thought about that' date=' but Iron has too much of a steampunk robotics connotation to me. And I can't think of another metal that carries a dark/evil connotation.[/quote'] Well, arsenic is a metal. Perhaps "Tarnished Avenger?"

Peregrine Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Re: Fallen Avenger Thanks to all who have contributed, even if I haven't replied to you directly. This NPC has gone from "basic concept" to "his origin story is writing itself in my mind". I still don't have 100% satisfactory name, but "Vengeance, the Fallen Avenger" is the current placeholder, meaning that unless something else grabs me, that's what I'll go with. Additional input is still welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Re: Fallen Avenger Say, how about keeping the metal in the name, but exchanging "Avenger" for something more occult and sinister? My first suggestion: Silver Revenant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first suggestion: Silver Revenant. Hey... not a bad approach. Maybe my D&D background is showing, though, but Revenant has an undead vibe about it that doesn't quite fit. Still, Silver is definitely worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Re: Fallen Avenger Or, if PRIMUS did something (or didn't -- like let someone innocent die in order to preserve a cover) that set this guy off, there's always "Revenger".

Avenging is an act of protection. Revenge is simply paying back pain with pain, often disproportionatly. It's an act of selfish violence.

Lord Liaden Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Re: Fallen Avenger Well, he could have meant "like a fungus." Seriously, my favorite suggestion so far. Of course whether I like it isn't the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Re: Fallen Avenger Having read a crapload of '80s, '90s, and more recent DC comics over the last couple of weeks (laid off + BitTorrent = digital comics collection from hell...), I am now leaning toward either Silver Ravager or just Ravager. And if you want the whole list of those who bailed out of PRIMUS in the 4th edition CU... Kevin Armstrong - Armstrong - VIPER Lyndon Kaufman - Red Shield - Red Doom Darin Falswell - Vengeance - GENOCIDE So far, only Armstrong has been mentioned in the 5e CU.

freakboy6117 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Re: Fallen Avenger Hmmm enjoying this thread reminds me of an idea i posted a few years back the Midnight Avenger a PRIMUS agent/silver avenger who had a run in with a a vampire and ended up being turned into a vampire he eventually destroyed his master and returned to the fold changed but immensely powerful he leads PRIMUS Black a covert ops super team who deal with the occult and secret threats no one else can. If he never returned to the fold a vampiric silver avenger would be a really nasty surprise. also made me think that a vampire would make a great crime boss for a street level supers campaign specializing in people trafficking would give him a ready food supply. and his ability to create vampiric underlings would give him a real edge against both rival gangs and law enforcement.

Wyrm Ouroboros Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Re: Fallen Avenger Sorry, I'm of the DFV camp -- that and I'd want to stay away from the whole mystic thing, because that has too much of the 'I instantly become a bad guy!!' sense about it. This, IMNSHO, should be the one where all the heroes are going to say to themselves and maybe each other, 'You know, he really is just on the other side of the line from us -- we could become him if we were only a little more obsessed, a little more final about things...'
