Gideon Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I just made a new character for a champions game. He has radio wave projection/control powers. He's a very basic character, but for the life of me I can't come up with a name for him. My only restrictions are: The character is an American male adult. The character cannot be named Airwave. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csyphrett Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Re: Yet Again: Please Help Name My Character Golden age names like the Voice, The whisperer, Captain Sound could be used I guess. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Re: Yet Again: Please Help Name My Character The character has radio wave projection/ manipulation/detection powers. He is built as a very standard very vanilla FEP. Flight Resistant Protection: Force Field Blast (high intensity radio wave emissions, AKA microwaves) Flash to Radio and Hearing (radio feedback) Darkness to Radio HRRP Radar I'm not sure if there's anything else I can tell you that would help. The character got his powers by accident, and has very little understanding of them beyond the basics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Samson Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Re: Yet Again: Please Help Name My Character Jinn In mythology, Jinns are beings of smokeless fire (as opposed to angels who are beings of light). Smokeless fire sounds like infrared radiation (microwaves) to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Re: Yet Again: Please Help Name My Character Out of curiosity, why not Airwave? Too common or is there a hero/villain in your game universe with that name already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odraude Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Re: Yet Again: Please Help Name My Character I like Frequency. Thats a good choice for a name. If we are going for a more music theme to the name, maybe Hymn or Crescendo. Stereo and Amp would be good for a more hip sounding name.

Too common or is there a hero/villain in your game universe with that name already?[/quote'] My GM asked me not to. Thats the basics of it. He prefers people to not use the names of existing characters (IE Airwave is from DC) for characters with the same power set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Re: Yet Again: Please Help Name My Character Everyone, thanks again for the help. The suggestions were all very helpful. I will post again once I have decided on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Re: Yet Again: Please Help Name My Character Well, if you insist on having his name be related to his powers, you could call him Radio Racer. (Having the word Radio in his name does make him sound Golden Age--in what era is the campaign set?) Myself, I'd be inclined to go a different (yet also traditional) direction. Use some sort of title or noun coupled with an energetic adjective--perhaps suggested by accident. For example-- "Wow! Look at how you blasted those bank robbers! That's some power you've got there, man!" "That's it! I'll call myself--POWER-MAN!" Or-- "Wow! What you can do is nothing short of amazing!" "Then say hello to--MR. AMAZING!" (Myself, I'd prefer CAPTAIN AMAZING or AMAZING MAN--but both those names have been taken, and in the latter case, taken at least twice. Perhaps your GM could still allow it.) And one more-- "Wow! Look at me streak across the sky. Wait--that's it! I'll call myself--SKYSTREAK!" I think you get the idea by now. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
