Cancer Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero Take mythological references: In china the bat(fu) is a symbol for luck(also fu). So ..... wait for it .... Bat fu is therefore .... Fu-fu!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Onassiss Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero I looked up a list of bat species on the wiki, but didn't find any really heroic names there. Pygmy Fruit Bat? Oh, just forget it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom 2009 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero How about Diameus? It's the genus name of one of three vampire bat species (Desmodus and Diphrylla -- I think that's how the second one is spelled -- are the other two).

tkdguy Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero You can always steal from the Tick live-action show and name the character Bat Manuel. Or Bat Manfred. Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-Man Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero How about Night Hunter? At least it's better than Night Ranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapsedgamer Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero Other than a few animal-based powers, this guy seems like more of a Darkforce manipulator than a Man-Bat homage. He actually reminds me more of Nightcrawler without the teleport than anything else. I think Umbra is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero So ..... wait for it .... Bat fu is therefore .... Fu-fu!! Well, except that kung-fu is called wushu in chinse so what you said means either luck-luck, luck-bat (a bat that brings luck), bat-luck (luck that tht comes from a bat), bat-bat (wich is pretty meainingless) or any other combination inlcuding things that "fu" means beside "luck" and "bat". Another idea: Use a thesaurus. Used one and it has 31 entries, but there is no entry for the word "bat" meaning he animal. But you could use something that for wich "bat" is a common synonym (perhaps even then used most of the time): http://thesaurus.com/browse/Bat Imagine the headline: "Nightslam (picture of a guy with bat themed costume) bat's bad guys". Oh, the jounalists would love the multi-meaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstone Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero The fact his wings are made of shadow made me think of the Balrogs of Morgoth Mr Morgoth has a certain pleasantly ominous ring to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Samson Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero For your character, I like the name Umbrage. It has a dual definition, meaning both shade and anger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Core-fire Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero What about Vesper. I think in England they call them or used to flittermouse.

Steffen Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero Sorry, I forgot to thank all of you for your ideas. Unfortunately a lot of the names seem to be so good that the player is unable to take a decision... Right now my campaign is taking a break and I hope that he will choose a name when we continue next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamstreamer Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero I still stand by Cuddles... I had a dog named Cuddles. She chewed through more than a few power cords, and was better known for making something that rhymes with her name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkham Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Re: Need a name for batlike hero Missed this thread the first time...
