BoloOfEarth Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I've decided to create a super-powered rock band, like the 4th edition villain group Road Kill but without the explosive dead animals to throw around. (In fact, I'm using the character pics from Road Kill, but otherwise creating the characters whole-cloth, so totally different powers, backgrounds, personalities, etc.) I've got (very) tentative names, powers, and band duties of: Hawke (pic of Heavy Metal) - invulnerable brick - Lead singer Keyes (pic of Screech) - light energy projector - Keyboards Sven (pic of The Axeman) - weather control? - Guitar Tom (pic of Ted) - mentalist - Drums ??? (pic of Boomer) - ??? - Bass guitar Nette (pic of Sparks) - force webs and barriers - Backup vocals The problem I'm having thus far, apart from a name and power set for the former Boomer, is coming up with a band name. It can't be something too long, unless it can be readily shortened. I also wouldn't mind if the band name is a bit unusual, as long as it's not *too* silly. The individuals providing the two best band names (determined solely by me) will each receive a PDF copy of the upcoming (June) issue of the Haymaker! APA-zine, rep from me, bragging rights, and my undying gratitude. That's pretty much it, in order of descending usefulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassist: (Name) Tock, (Powers) Speedster/Martial Artist Working with the drummer, a good bassist provides the tempo of any song...when to speed up and when to slow down.

Cancer Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Re: And Now, Opening for Deathtongue, It's... Bassist: B-25 (son of B-24), the Mad Bomber. (That's a stage name, obviously.) Power is an RKA with Explosion, Limitations: Only Works Against Inanimate Objects, All or Nothing (no damage unless target reduced to zero Body), Full Power Only (only on the explosion part). He might be the dead animal exploder, actually. And the group? Chainsaw Gigolo, perhaps. Alternately, the Rhino Humpers (though that was a RL group name in this area some 20 years back). Booty Gaffer. Helmet Beasts. Organ Grinder Love Monkeys. Bang for a Buck. If you prefer no sexual double entendres, then Six Gross, Teratoma, Scythe, or Wastage.

Lord Liaden Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Re: And Now, Opening for Deathtongue, It's... When I revised Road Kill for my own use, I made Heavy Metal a mentalist, code named "Headbanger." I also made a word play of Ted's last name, "Grange," and called him "Grunge." As for a band name, my suggestions are "Rock Fall" or "Sound and Fury." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier Onassiss Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Re: And Now, Opening for Deathtongue, It's... These are probably best suited to a "punk" band, if that's what you're going for. If not, at least they're mildly amusing.... Uproar!

BoloOfEarth Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: And Now, Opening for Deathtongue, It's... Sorry for the lengthy delay in getting back to this thread. Many thanks for all the ideas. I'll probably make my decision in a week or two. I'm thinking that, even if I don't use a given band name for this group, I might mention others in the text or plot seeds. Some really fun ideas here. My current faves are: Dead Wreckoning Uproar! (if shouted properly, could sound like "Up yours!") Encephalocide Psychotic Weasel Metaphysical Helix (with nickname MetaHell) Ones I found highly amusing: Spherical Cow Organ Grinder Love Monkeys Occam's Cordless Electric Ones I liked but wouldn't fit this group as I see them: Rock Fall (I'd change to Rocks Fall, as a nod to "Rocks fall, everyone dies.") Steampunk Genocide Swiss Army Chainsaw Toxic Shamans Thank you, Cygnia, for the idea on the bassist. The team could use a speedster. Cancer, actually my dad flew B-24s in the war. If I went with that idea, I'd probably go with "Lib" (short for Liberator, the name of the B-24). But NOT the Mad Bomber, or my players would have a field day with it after the character on the Tick animated series. The drummer being a kinetic energy manipulator is too obvious IMO. As to sonics, I'm actually trying to avoid that for any band members for similar reasons. Thanks again, everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
